Fruits—The Suicide of Slavery.

CONCLUDEp FROM YESTERDAY.

Every step \i nee taken has deepened the wrong and enchanced the dauger. The Free States organized Aid Societies, and sent their men to make Kansas free. It had been free soil, by solemn compact, for thirty-five years and they naturally were incensed to see its character changed. The South would have been far more indignant if a slave territory had been thus, by unexpected act of Congress, converted into Free Soil.

The Free States had a right to be indignant that a life-long* Compromise had been repealed— and they had a right to try to keep Kansas free as it had been, Jbj peaceful colonization. They attempted nothing else. But a portion of the citizens of Missouri, headed by Atchison and Stringfellow, denounced the northern emigrants as "paupers and hirelings," because they were sent west by the money of a society and so they held county meetings in Missouri and raised money and sent Missourians to ^Kansas to make Kansas a slave territory! -Were these Missourians "hirelings" too? And did these two wrongs make ^one right?

Atchison and Stringfellow, with their ^Missouri followers, overwhelmed the ^settlers in Kansas, brow beat and bulged them, andtookthe government from '"their hands. Missouri voters elected *the present body of men, who insult .public intelligence and popular rights -by styling themselves "the Legislature of Kansas." This body of men are helping themselves to fat speculations ^by locating "the seat of government" and getting town lots for their votes.

They are passiug laws disfranchising all the citizens of Kansas who do not believe negro slavery to be a Christian institution and a national blessing. They .'are proposing to punish with imprison

ment the utterance of views inconsistent with their own. And they are trying to perpetuate their preposterous and infernal tyranny, by appointing for a 1 term of years creatures of their own, as

Hero conies, then, the suicide of Slavery. The outrages committed by Atchison and his fellows in the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and by Stringfellow and his followers in subjugating Kansas to non-resident rule, will bring on a collision first in Congress and then in Kansas—and who shall tell the end?

Slavery will never sustain itself in a border State by the Sword. It may conquer in some respects but it can never "conquer apeace."—Never, never? Once light the fires of internecine

Thus the Slavery propagandists who repealed the Missouri Compromise to make Kansas a Slave State, will make Missouri free and in endeavoring to expel Abolitionism from Kansas, they will find both Kansas and Missouri with an entire free whits population—worth more to the two States than all the negroes in America.
