The ougntxa.to Kansas h« been

aimoat sorely checked. Em,giants,

find as good lands elsewhere, not cursed by mob law, not ruled by non-resi-dent bullies.—Emigrants from the Southern States do not go to Kansas, because they will not put their slave property in peril, by taking it into a territory where there is a strong Free Soil element, thteatening the security of slaves. iH Any man of sense might hive foreseen this result. Alabama and Georgia may hold public meetings, and resolve to sustain the slaveholders in Missouri in making Kansas a Slaye State. But their resolutions comprise all their aid -—which is not "material" enough for the crisis. When slaveholders of Alabama and Georgia emigrate, they go to

Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas.—They do not come, with their slaves to Misaouri or to Kansas. Call they that, ^backing their friends? ffc, Thus the matter stands: The northlern emigrants shun Missouri and Kansas as plague spots of the nation. The southern emigration shun Missouri and

Kansas, because here is the battle ground stween slavery and free soil.

The result is, Kansas, the fairest land mder the sun, is neglected and idle ocjupied by a few honest and earnest but "^disheartened pioneers, and lorded over ^jby a dozen or two feudal tyrants of Missouri, who curse by their presence the 3and they have desolated.

Such is Kansas—poor, neglected and despised—and Western Missouri stonds jnsulted by the horrible contagion of outlawry, and dwindles away under the ^moral leprosy of its mobocratic leaders.

T,'|We

are ^assured by two gentlemen of **high position in Western Missouri, but totally differing in political sentiment— one upholding the oligarchy that controls the affairs and tramples upon the people's sovereignty in Kansas, the other deploring the accursed madness of the day-that matters are gloomy enough .. in Western Missouri. Business is dull..

Commerce is stagnant. Money is exit, nceedingly scarce, and a panic pervades the people. The fifty thousand emigrants that ought, this season, to have poured over into Kansas, are not there.

The prairie sod remains unbroken. The sound of the axe, and the whoop of the husbandman is not heard. Western

The much vaunted Kansas towns lie neglected—a mockery to their owners and a laughing stock for all men, "Dead —dead—dead" maybe written on all the country—to deep and disastrous has been the fall from the high and fond hopes of the past year.

In May last, the editor of the Intelligencer was in Kentucky, and he met numerous of the most respectable and wealthy farmers of that State, such as form so large a portion of the population of Missouri, who inquired earnestly about the condition of things in Kansas and in Western Missouri. They spoke of the intention they hod of removing to Kansas or Western Missouri but said they had abandoned it utterly, for the reason that they would never think of taking their families to a region I where law was set aside, presses mob-

Between these fires, Missouri is lead-

her languid existence. St. Lou-

is is retarded in a most woful way. Our railroads c.eep at snail's pace. We build ten miles while other Western States build one hundred. In every department of life we feel the paralysis. Instead of bounding forward, buoyant, strong, and rejoicing, we sit with dull eyes and heavy spirits, and listen to the tick of a death-watch.

These are the bitter fruits of the repeal of the Missouri Compromise—a wicked and wrongful deed—that will yet bring a hell of bitter self-reproach-es to its authors, Missouri did not demand that repeal. The South never asked it. Atchison solicited it—and in a moment of political insanity the South consented to the wrong, and made the wrong her own. This was the suicide of Slavery. (CONCLUDED TOMORROW.)

FALL ELECTIONS.—Elections have yet to be held this year, we believe, in twelve States. In most of them Legislators and State officers are to be chosen, and in four of them Representatives to Congress. Of the Litter class are Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia and Maryland, which are entitled in the aggregate to twenty-three members. The elections will take place as follows: California Tuesday, September 4. Vermont Tuesday, September 4. 10. 1. 9. 9. 9.

O* There is more Sareaparilla contained in one bottle of Hurley's, than in six of any other man's we are aware of, and which, wherever introduced, becomes one of the necessaries of life, and we can state from experience, it is the purest, best, and most efficacious. In our sister city, Louisville, ii lias attained great celebrity, and here it is in equal favor. It is perfectly free from all dangerous and injurious ingredients is made under the special superintendence of an able chemist, ana composed of such pure medical compounds as canuot fail to make it. in all cases, sure and powerful. We recommend those who require genuine Sareaparilla to purchase Hurley's, and they will be much obliged for the advice.—Cincinnati Sun.
