Slave States.
We are in receipt Of the first number Of
large and we'll printed Free State paper pub
lished at Kansas City, No., By n. Thomas Doane,
Esq-the Kansas City R<pu1fioaa. Tho kansas

member the announcement made short time
since Of the establishment Of an emancipation
paper at ST. Joseph, No. From the able saiuta:
tory Of the Kansas City R<pu>lioa" VIC extract
the following:
After three years residence Ia tA1s State.
and a careful and thorough Study of its social
and political economy. We labor under the firm,
conviction that the day has already arrived
when, By the peaceful and quiet imn,i grafton of
free white labor, undisturbed By auy party legis-
fatioh or the manufacture Of heated public
sentiment, the slLves Of Missouri urc 'beinr
neratiye and congenial cotton fields Of the
South, while their places are 1npcrcept:bly, but
surely being filed with the influx Of FREE white
laborcrs from the North.
The great battle which is to be fought in tllis
State i one in Which I'll free white men should
battle between the Shareholder and tue non
Shareholder, but IT is q conflict Of race-a con-
aict for supremacy between tie white 1aborer
and the ep&laved negro. In such conflict it
needs no prophet to foretell the result. Already
We have seen q Free Stnte sentiment gradually
rise in the chief city Of our Stale -gain strength
from day to day, till it orcrtidcs all opposition
in that quarter r-next seen in the capitaE Of our
Stale, winding its sinna4s ray through the pop
ular mind, like the pulses of the body--sonle-
times throbbiug fecbIy and almost extinct, then
beating strong and powerful-only waiting for
the opportunity to show it-elf and demand re-
cogniiion, till to-day It encompasses within its
Jefferson City, St. Genevieye. and in fact ut most
all Of the great commercial points within our
State limits. Many Of those in this ssas.' W.. w..
were ioF"-.. ...... border Rutfians. art TO- day
conservative in their views, while others for:
merly conservative, hare become tree sailers.
We shall advocate boldly and un1iuchinxlv
the policy Of making Missouri free State; B..
lieving fully in the principle Of :" Missouri for
whlte luen and white men for Missouri" and
also hope to sec her take the proud position 10
which she il justly entitled, as the Empire State
OF the West, Believing. as we do, that she never
can assume thai position until she acquires it
through the new born energy infused into the
body polite BY the strong muscular arm and
Intelligent Toiee Of the free white laborer.
In the Milford {Delaware} -,ers dnd ddetrt;-
ser We fiad the following record of the p1ogres )
Of free principles in the other extremity Of the
Union:
