The New York Tribune and press Of that
character, as has been their character in the
past, are now discouFagng emigration to Kansas
by mistaken representations in regard to the
late election. They state positively that CAL
houn will give certificates ofelection to the pro-
slavery State officers under the Lecompton
constitution, and to q majority of the members
Of the Legislature; and then they are contiuu-
ally stating that the Lecompton constitution
will be endorsed by Congress. From these
facts they argue that the democratic party has
made Kansas a slave State, and by this cry they
hope to hurl that party from power. At the
same time they must be conscious that il the
democratic party was sure to be swept from
existence three years hence, that event could
not save Kansas to freedom as the question
would have been permanently settled long pre-
vious to that time.
Tile wdo7e tendency Of these croaEjng papers,
from first TO last, has been 10 nahe Kaasas aotat
those journals hare Wge83ed q desire to au0id.
Our only hope ofsaying Kansas to freedom lay
through emigration Their croakings instead
of encouraging emigration, as has been our poll
Icy by presenting gilded future, such as we
have full confidence toexpect has only diScour-
agedi it by thousands; and these means are inva-
riably reSorted to--wlIether purposcy or other
wise we leave the reader to determine for HIM
SELF after carefully considering all the acts-at
the time when we are preparing for, and most
in need Of the heaviest emigration. 1t has been
suggested that this was the only subterfuge of
those editors to prevent the East from being de-
populated by the enormous emigration which
would otherwise follow.
|. There is not a man, in his sober senses, who
does t know that Kansas Territory, at this
time, would boast Of a population Of from fifty
to one hundred thousand more persons than it
has at present had the eastern press, instead
Of constantly predicting the defeat Of the free
State cause, given ample assurance that its tri-
umph was inevitable through peacejM means.
Talk as much as we may Of the bravery Of the
American people, it is not true that any Of them
desire to take their families to a country over
run with civil war and cursed with anarchy.
But the assertion of the Tribune is not true
that the pro.slavery party triumphed, even by
fraud, in the late elections. On the contrary,
,Ce assert most positively that the free State Pa1ty
haze elected the entire State tcIet and nearly, il
not g'Nt,, tcotbjy3s mqtdriy Of Jolh branches Of
lie Legislature. We take pleasure, in addition
to this, OF Stating that we do not believe John
Calhoun will issue certificates Of election to the
pro-slayery candidates; bnt that a majority Of
the free State men will be allowed, without
opposition to fake Their Seats in the first legis-
lature conveyed under that instrument, il admit
ted into the Union. And we know that if an
attempt is made to prevent the PEOPLE from
ruling in this matter they will not be loiled
but, by peaceful means, through lega2jorn,e, and
without the shedding Of drop Of blood, they
will take possession Of the government, and
immediately proceed to institute measures for
lsupplanting it with another.
