lin spite of the precautions of Got-. Reeder
ti e his honest endeavor to have the recent
ction fairly conducted, ' fraud and - , violence
- i e been again successful, and the pro-slave
candidates are almost or quite all elected in

11 . ouri Slaveholders Went over into .Kansas,
itn e d to the teeth, remained a few dais,-de
dsited their votes in favor of the- 1 peculiar
ititution,' and then retuned hoine. There
in be litde,doubtithat, of the bona fide resi
eatsof Kansas, a majority are opposed to
I L very, but Alf territory must be invaded
their rights tramPled, upon, to earry . otit

plans of the South. And this is the kind
ir popular sovereignty 'that is to decide the
l est loft whether Kansas shall be free. To
1
• . eparothe way for such an outrageous vio
' ion 'of the laws arid - of the rights of
:i
I V peOple, was the Missouri Compromise re
,#ed. The result, and the means that have
i
used to effect it, should excite no sue-
'
cse. It is deemed necessary for the interests
.fslavet.y to make slave territory of Kansas,
In
d the thing must be done, no matter what
s of violence may be necessary to effect it.

Mr. Atchison, a 'man holding the 'position
~, the Vice President of the United'State-sis
. • aker of'the Senate, the highest officer-but
e'in our Governinerit, stands openly at the
.
of this • conspiracy in Missouri, against
e rights of the peopled Kansas. And for this
grant violation of the laws . of the land, he
11i applauded and 'caressed, while men who
./unsel disobedience to a law. which\ would
.Jake us slave-hunters, are imprisoned and
Vied as criminals. Atchison could well af-
Frd to be absent from his place in the no
:tonal Government, marshaling an army .of
4iyoes• to desecrate the ballot-box in Kansas,
for there were plenty of grave senators left,
Wady and-willing to do'.the bidding of Slave-.
in the Senate. This'was shown when Mr.
'oueey's shameful bill for depriving State .
'ourts of any right to ' 'interfere where per
ms might be claimed as fugitive slaves,
assed that body,' with only nine opposing
• qteii.
.The attempt, to get such a law pas
'' td is important, as showing that Slavery is,
I : , yet satisfied, but is determined to go on
:om one aggression to another.
We said the result in Kansas should excite
o .surprise. But those northern' doughfaces
ho asserted that slav,e.ry could never, go in
,) that territory—that 'there was do danger
leaving the question to be decided' by
popular sovereignty='—must now be greatly
~tonished. Judging from their silence, they
-.re dumb with astonishment., When they
•-•-cover from .the shock, what remedy will
C.ey propose? They. /lave, by their 'false
, unsels, done serious injury to the cause of
;"..eedom, as they must ht last see; and now
hat Will they do to retrieve their error ?
The organs of the sham_Democracy at the
:orth, while disagiecing somewhat as to The
roDrietv_ -
mega tfie greater part of them supported it,-
ecause of its beautiful ; Democratic
.principle
i 'popular sovereignty'—were-almost
:sous in assuring their readers that slavery
. ould neverlgo into any. part of the territo:
v from which the restriction of the. Missouri
'Ompromise was removed. Now that fagts
'falsified their assurances—the .Slav'e
- 'orrer baring thus far carried the day there
a every thing, and declaring it deterrnina
ion to do .so hereafter, with or_withouirlaw—
, hat course, we would ask, will the party
hat passed the bill pursue in this emergen
(y ? If they have been'deceived, into the
upport of a law which .they do not:approve,.
- ill they help us to repeal it ? If they are
: s pod - anti-slavery men as their opponents
'ill they vote with them against admitting
— lsnisas into the Union 'with slavery ; for a re-

The Americans, as a party, can no more
held responsible fur the recent riots in Ciit-
Lnati, than the 'Democratic' party fur the
!as of the Germans in' the same riots, or of
` Democratic' bullies who murdered Bill

peaceable citizens of opposite politics, and

serious evil and a gross, violation of the

Judging from, the preni aspect Of political

those who tire opposed to the linoW-Nothings_

and Hunker Deinocrats, if they were
able would send to Congress men of the Ev

instead of such FreeSoilers;as Henry Wilson

Several Of the friends of Temperance in the

original Carsonl,League note, which proved
to be mope; acceptable to the community,
each share being subject to a yearly . assess
ment of five mita
• . Some in the community gave us their
names and their ',influenCe while others did
not feel disppacil:to come up to the work
with us. But ',WC continue to labor on for
the' accomplishment oft)* noble purpose, the
suppression of,the rum ti:affic and the eleva

have in some' measure been crowned with
success. At our annual meeting in Fe bros.

have abandond their Cups,' and now occu
py the stand-Oint of an exalted manhood,
the place which God has designed for his crea

•us together, and fur which We will ~ tcontend:
until they shall be adopted as a controlling
',.element in the administration 'of ourl,lation
-al Government, • 1
- " 1. ' That the Constitution of the United
States weal designed, - by the peoPte. who
adopted it, '',be a law, of impartial 'liberty,
to the full -extent of the powers granted to
the: FederaPiGq .). iivernment. r. ,
.
"2.. Thatjby the Constitution, Congress
is made the,lstiecial guardian of.the liberties,
of the peopte inhabiting the District of -Co
tut-tibia and the: Territories.ofthe United
States ; end
_until, it shall abolish Slavery in
the former, 'acid 'forever'prohibit it in the lat-•
ter, it rentain4 false to. the solemn trust 'corn
. ~ ,
mated to cnarge. • .. • .
"3. -Th t 'the' Constitution, while,it pro-•
hibits the 'several Btates from enabting any
'law or regUlation' discharging fugitives from ,
service or 114 r
,from their obligations; con
fers no - poWer whatever open -Congress to
legislate.onVlits subject.' The act of- - 18,W,
mlled the Augitive Slave Law, is„ therefore
not only inhuman but unconstitutional in its
provisions, rand should be immediately and.
unconditionally repealed. - .
."4. • ' Thati•it is the right and duty of Con:
gress, in :lets for. the;admissic . ni of new States
into the Utlion, to prohibit forever the intro
, duction of Slavery therein.
" Reselvk That in the Ordinance of 1787
,
coeval with the Censtitution, and freely- ac
quiesced- inboth North and South, for more
than half 00,intury, we have a practical as
sertion, 11%1 the ' whole people, of the:riglit
and the kl;f r ly!f,f Congress to exclude . Slavery
from the I-friteries. .We now re -assert that
right and einand . the , discharge. of' that d u t-.
errand
ty.
.•
"Resolved, - That the repeal of. the Mis
souri, CotipremiSe, by ' Gnagress and- the
preSent Natienal , Administration, has been
aceimplisled, in vitilation of the . ! plighted •
faith of th , South, for the sole.purpose of ex
tending Silvery over the fertile regions of the
Northwest ; and strengthening.the 'power of
slaveholders ;in our Government ; and those
Northern hien who voted, for that . measure,
basely betrayed the rights of the people
whom-they were chosen to represent. , •
" Resolted, That the . inhabitants - of thiS,
State,. withoittdistinctien of color, are at all
times entitled to its protection ; and that to
deprive any ,otie of his liberty, without due
process ofility, embracing a jury trial, under
whatever ditnise it may be attempted, is a
• ,
manifest iliiilation of right:, and should there- .
fore be made a penal offence. • ' : .
" Reso4ed, Th: t while the policy of our
•fathers arid; the spirit. of our institutions
urge us ui1t.1 . 0,-, the hand of :welcome to the
oppresselpOople of other nations,'*ho .seek
freedom and homes on eur shores, yet the
idebasennTt ot* the right of sum-age, by . per
sons of rikiently acquired citizenship, ' has
grown to tni such an alarming evil as to de,
menstratel the necessity of &rigid enforce
ment of the long-established law of the n atio n ,
if net an alCeration of the la* itself. -• .
"Mes4-Cd; That', the existence and excel'
tion of the M4ne TeniPerance Law is a vi
tal elemedt in . the organization and life of the
Repithlie4rTarty.of this State, and . is .one
