FROM wAsusoros UNION.
To every true Democrat, North
and South-in and out of Con-
gress-in the United States.

WITHIN the next lew weeks the great
question of the admission or rejection Of
Kansas into the Union will have to be
decided. Her admission will depend on
the democratic party alone. The black
republicans will, of course, vote against
her. There is now, and always has been,
perfect understanding among the mem.
bers of that party, whether in or out of the
Territory, to prevent the settlement of the
slavery question and to keep it open for
perpetual agitation and mischief The
whole matter, therefore, rests with the
democratic party. That party has from
year to year, and from election to election,
exered itself to the utmost to bring Kansas
up to the point which she has at last
reached--of standing at the door of Con-
gress with her constitution in hand, re.
publican in its character, knocking for
admission.
The democrats alone have brought her
to this point. The opposition, or black
republicans, on former occasion brought
her before Congress, also, holding the
Topeka constitution in her hand, and de-
mandng admission upon that constitu-
ton not founded on any Ia,0fW authosty
whatsoever, but created against all law, all
constitution, all usage ever known of in
this country. When she stood and knocked
for admission into the Union on the Topeka
constitution, founded solely and exclusively
on rebellion, every democrat in Congress
promptly voted sgainst receiving her
Now she comes with constitution founded
on and sustained by the regular legislation
Of Congress, the regular legislation of her
own Territory, and on the free and indie.
, pendent vote Of every citiseo Of Kansas
who chose to give bis vote. Such is the
present attitude Of Kansas. She is at the
, door Of Congress. She mxst be admitted
or rejected. There i, no alterna i've, nc
middle course, There she stands. You
must let her in or send her away from your
door. Which shall be donel If you
, reject and send her away, the black-repub,
licans of the Territory will raise the shout
of joy and of gladuess, and as she retres
f the same party in Congress will follow hel
into the wilderness, and whisper words ot
: encouragement to further civil war and
/. rebellion.
