MY BRETHREN : There is a prmligi

—between voting to elevate Mr. Fre

Mr. Buchanan. The one, as his name
indicates, represents the party of free
dom the other, the party of slavery.
The conjoint question, Shall the un

into Free States, or shall it be .made
into Slave States'? is almost .the only
issue—it is the Duly prominent issue,

Much has been said of late'respect,

the people of the Territory oFhlansis.
And no wonder it is has been thus ; for

outrages enacted and suirered in that
unfortunate territory, haslieen neither
more nor Liss than slavery extension.
A determined attempt is being. made
to establish chattel slavery there-s..iin a
word, to make Kansas a slave State
And as disriaceful and as - mortifying
as the fact really is, the general govern

Border Ruffianism through whiCh all
these atrocities hare been Terpett ated

The party that wants to elect Mr.
Buchanan, fully declare their "unqual

policy." Elect, then, Mr. B. and his
friends, and Kansas comes into the

4' The relations between the North
and South are very analogous to those
which subsisted between Greece and
the Roman Empire after the aubjuga -
Lion of Achaia by the consul Hum
mins. The dignity and energy of the
Roman character, conapiano is in war
and in politics, were not easily tamed
and adjusted to the arts of industi y and
literature. The degenerate and pliant
Greeks, on the contrary, excelled•in
the handicraft, and polite professions.
Wu learn; from the vigor our invective
of Juvenal, that they were the most
useful and capable of vervants, wheth
er as pimps or professors of rhetoric.
Obseqnious, dexterous, and ready. the
versatile Greeks monopolized the busi
ness of teaching. publishing, and mauu
facturing in the Roman Etnoire-:—al
lowing- their masters ample lehoire for
the service of the . State, in the Senate
or in the field. The people Of the
Northern States ut this confederacy
exhibit the same aptitude for the arts
of industry. They excel as clerks,
mechanics, and tradesnasii, - aiol they
have monopolized the business of
teaching, publishing; and peddling."
STRINGFP.LLOW B.►Nlsuco. — Tne St.
Louis Democrat learns that an indig,.
nation meeting had been held at Wes
ton, last NYeek, at which the bluish:
!neva of Stringfellow from Weston and
Platto counties, had been resolved
Upon. Thecircu nstances which gave
rise to.this proceeding, were these:
A merchant of -Weiiton, by the nams
of R. )ckwell, soma time ago sold out
his stock of goods to a firm known as
that of Perry 45..- Walker. These gen
tlemen, in the exercise of their com
mercial liberty, had sold a quantity of
flour to certain parties in Kansas. This
fact happening to become known to a
body of regulators in Platte city, an
armed expedition of about one hun
dred men, i-sued from that place, and
proceeded to Westrin with the avow
ed purpoie of arresting and hanging
Perry, whom they accused of beitt;
an Abolitionist. 0.1 reaching Weston,
they' at once placed . themselves under
the command of Stringfellow, and
marched to the sturq of the parties .
against whom they had swam sum na
ry vengeance. Mr. Ferry was arrest.
ed, and assured that he should ba hung.
ljpon this, Mr. 1. 1 . appealed to the
people of Weston for justice and pro
, tecti,iii, and thw result Shows that ha
did not c dcalate" in Vain upon their
else of rig'it. -As 'soon as these cir
cumstances became generally known,
a public meeting Was called, Mr. Per
ry was released, and the party from
Platte city ordered to leave ,with;n
two hours cr a')ida•by the crinseven
ces. They then proceeded to dispase
of the case of G 7 Oneral Stringfellow,
whose course in theliansas diffi - culties
they denounced in ist indignantly, and
concladei by passing a resolution. re
viring him to leave the towo and
county forever, giving him' five days
to'settle up his affairs.
