Voice from Kansas.

Freemen Of Kansas! behold the
BRIDE for which you are expected to
strike down that Liberty in whose de-
fence you have so long and SO CALAMITY
fought. And yet it is paltry, meagre,
miserable bride, which proposes to buy
us FOR lust ffty-two thousand four hun
dred and eighty acres of land, exclusive
of Worthless salt spring appropriations.
Tue school sections we are entitled to
by the Organic Act, independent of this
bill. =. The bride is in itself swindle
and cheat 1t is an insult to our in
telligence, and a foul aspersion of our
honor. The thirty pieces of silver which
are offered to us to betray the highest
and hottest of causes, are bogus pieces
We viii spurn and spit upon this bride.
We will say to james Buchanan, "Thy
money perish with thee y
But look once more at this bill OF
denominations. 1t djscrinsiaates against
Freedom and in .faror Of Staoery! 1t
says to the people OF Kansas, You may
come in with your present population, If
YOU will only come in as a SLAVE STATE;
but if you wish to come in as FREE
STATE, you must WAIT until you have
census taken, and population enough
to entitle you to one Representative in
Congress Why this unjust aud invid-
ious discrimination IN favor of StaUeryy
1t we are Justly entitled to come into the
Union as y Slave State now, why not as
Free State Why must We be kept
under Federal satraps, aud under such
ruffian Judges as Cato and Lecompte,
for several years to GOMEZ Why must
Kansas, clad in the virgin robes OF Free
dom, be spurned and driven from the
doors of Congress, when, if she will
prostitute herself and come arrayed in
the harlot attire of Slavery, she shall
find ready and joyous welcome! Are
the people of Kansas prepared to see
Liberty thus insulted, and Slavery thus
houored a? Are the people Of the country
at large ready to see it:
We accept this issue. We have a
Constitution recently framed at Leayen-
worte, and ready to be submitted to the
people, which will forever conseerate this
noble young Commonwealth of ours,
with its vast resources and mighty ca
pabiities, to Free Men, Free Labor,
Free Schools and Freedom. Let us in
dorse this Constitution on the 18th inst
Let us send it up to Congress as the
voice Of the people of Kansas asking tc
be admitted as Free State, and see
whether we are to be remanded back tc
the tender mercies of Lecompton and
Cato for years to come. Let us see
whether the people Of the United States
are ready to say that Free State is not
as good as Slave State, aud Freedom
not as good as Slavery
Freemen of Kansas! we know YOU
will vote down this infamous bride o.
the traitor English. Vote it down, ant
YOU vote Lecompton down. Bury thai
swindle so deep that no resurrectinl
trump shall ever reach it. You hav,
shown to the world that you could no
be forced; show now that you cannot b
bought :.
The day for voting on English's pro
position has not yet been desi grated. -
Meanwhile 1T US rally upon the eight
eenth Of this month to the support O
the Leayenyorth Constitution, and fore
npon our enemies the issue which they
have rendered to Us, and compel then
to say, if they dare say it, by their votes
that FREE STATE is not just as mucl
entitled to admission as SLAVE STATE
that Freedom is not as good as Slavery
aud that the people Of Kansas must b
kept under the tyranny of Lecompte
Cato d To-, simply because We ask ad
mission as Free State Req
