Truth Coming 10 Light.

/
Herald tells what the people of that Ter
ritory say. as follows:
Free State men, even in abolition Law
renee, say that if certain twelve persons
selected from both parties had been blessed
by their country with the classic death OF
Haman two years ago, the difficulties in
Kansas would not only have been settled,
but would never have been half so vrulent
and troublesome as they have been"
ave have always been Of the opinion, y
says the Washington Union, {" that there
was more knavery than honesty in the agi-
tation of the slavery question, and particu-
larly that branch Of it which relates to
Kansas. That question has been seized
upon by designing politicians as a means
by which they can get into and keep them
selves in power, and not through any love
or respect for principle. All tho recent
developments on this subject have been
calculated to strengthen our convictions in
this respect and we give below an extract
from the Kansas Daily Ledger, q Free
State paper, which, it seems to US, ought
to,convince all who have ever doubted as
to the real cause of the controversy. The
Ledger says;
"Niggers is not the great bone of con-
tention in Kansas, and those who cry ou,
most Justify for niger or no 'nigger,
hav'nt money enough, as general thing,
to buy plug Of tobacco with The real
bone Of contention is pOtcer and he sp01ts !;
and the poor nigger is made to bend and
! bow to suit the purposes of these political
demagogues, that they may ride into power
and obtain some of the spoils-and that's
dH The free State party nor the pro-
slavery party of Kansas care anything
: about the moral condition Of the niggers,
but they must have text to preach from,
: and the poor nigger' has been preached
in all his aspects throughout oar land"
And upon the admission Of Kansas into
the Union under the LecomptOn Constitu
, tion, the same paper says;
Let Congress attend to their own
business, and let us attend to ours. We
have something more TO accomplish besides
the admission of Kansas into the Union.
: We want railroads, telegraphs, churches,
common schools, and host Of other things
of minor importance but, paramount to
all these, 1re pam peace"
And again
"They tthe people Of Kansas) are heart
lily sick and tired Of this Internal nigger
agitation they have had a surfeit of it
it Injuries their business, blasts their pros
poets, and keeps up continual strife.
Let Kansas be admitted into the Union
somehow or other, and with some kind Of a
Constitution, that we may have peace"
These extracts show what we have al
ways Believed and insisted was the case,
$ that it is for power and spoils that the Re-
| publicaus of the North who have got up
5 and kept alive this controversy, are con-
tending, and that the people of Kansas
themselves, no matter what others may say
5 or do, are sick and tired Of agitation, and
anxious that it should be settled in the
only way it can be scttled-by the prompt
( and unconditional admission Of the Terri
tory as State under the LecOmpton con.
! stitution.
;; The declaration comes from high au-
/. thority that Gen. jim LANE, the leader Of
!. the Topeka rebellion in Kansas, is a Nor
mon, and that man by the name Of Ell
E DRIDcE, the accredited financial agent of the
!, Emigrant Aid Society, is Mormon also.
These facts are believed to be susceptible
Of proof aud if established, will show con-
cluSively connection between the move
ment in Kansas and Utah. On this sub
, ject, the Washington Union of late date
, says:
5 The reader Of the message of acting
governor Denver to the territorial legisa-
ture Of Kansas, will have observed para.
graph relating to the existence Of most
extraordinary organization in that terri
5 tory, similar to that Of the Danites in
, Utah. He alleges that the members are
bound by tho most solemn oaths and obli-
cations to resist the laws, take the lives Of
their fellow-citizens, or commit any other
' act of violence that may be directed by
? their leaders and to the existence of this
band he attributes certain assassinations
that have been recently perpetrated in the
territory. Rumors to the same purport
have also found their way into the newspa-
pers. implying a completely between the
dsturbers Of the peace in Kansas and the
traitors in Utah. A St. Louis prper of
late date mentions the fact as a matter of
news, that Lane was still employed with
his Danites in driving citizens out Of the
territory"
