M- AN APPEAL FROM THE SOUTH, TO THE VOTERS OF THE NORTH, Gentlemen; Living, as wo do, ia Ken • tudky, and reeling the deepest interest in her welfare,,politically and pecuniarily—having Seen the Working of Slavery and its effect upon the poorer classes—regretting, extreme ly',that, within her boundaries, it has been established, and using the full extent of our abilities for the purpose of ridding the State 6! the institution which has so much cursed it, ahd bos proven itself so greatly disadvan tageous to those Who are oon-Slaveholders— we, of course, may be expected to regard the attempt which has Wen made, during the present Administration, to force Slavery upon Kansas, as being pregnant with evil, not only to the cause of emancipation in this State, but, also, to the future good of our Country. The chains, by which Kenlucki ansare bound in this most abject servitude, •re weakfer far than at any former period, and We confidently believe, that we shall be able at no very distant day, Jo announce (9 (he world that they have fallen off entirely, But we look upon the coming Presidential elec tion as a crisis in National matters, which will be felt, equally, in the Free and Slave States, and in the Territories. If, through the failure of the North (o see the full bearing of the question which is now before them for final settlement, the Buchan an party be successful; if the principle pre vail, that the South, by virtue of the Consti tution, have the right to carry her Slaves into Free Territory, she will next contend that, by the same authority, she may carry her Slaves into the,,Free Stales and then she would be right, for if the Constitution give her the one privilege it must also give her the other, and the laws of the. Free Stales must giye way to the paramount authority. Men of the North ! Have you weighed well this mailer ? Are you satisfied that Slavery should be carried into your midst; into your free cities and your thriving villages ? Are you willing that yout manufactories shall be carried on by Slaves—that your Free Schools shall be closed and your Free Press silenced I Are you willing, yourselves, to be made Slaves ? TheSe questions you must answer by your votes. In the Slave States will our chains be more tightly drawn, and we will have lost all hope, for the emancipation of this Stale, if your political power be added to that of the Stave Oligatch). We make nor these remarks because we can expect to aid you in the present move ment to prevent the extension of Slavery. This ypu must-do yourselves. Nor do we ask in this manner, your interference - with ,pojitica.jp.po/own State.. VVe havepodesire io make.the. Abolition of Slavery a National issue, for we cannot recognize the right of the General Government to interfere with Slavery where it exists under the shield of State Soverejgaty; but we do expect that the doctrine of Squatter or Territorial Sovereign ty, so fatal to Republicanism and Democracy, willj during the present canvass, receive a blow from which it will never recover. This is a National Question, this is the present is eue, and we the friends of emancipation in the South, expect the North to settle ihe ques tion in favor of Freedom. In the South we cannot give you aa electoral vote but we can sympathise with you, and by our votes will swell your popular majority. The burden must fall.on you. Yep must make Freedom National, and Slavery Sectional—you must say to the accursed institution “ thus far hast thou come, thou shah go no further”—and then you may leave, in a political point of ■view, the friends of Truth, of Justice and -Humanity, in the South, to do the rest. We believe we can succeed in our endeav ors, at least in regard to Kentucky, if the North wjll now but do her duty. Six years ago, Cassius M. Clay, the only man in the State who dared to speak, above a whisper, against Slavery and the Slave power, was mpbbed at Lexington. Now the Republican patty,- wjih him still at their head, have an ticket. But lliip ticket is not all .they have. There are men, truthful, honest, conscientious and courageous men, in scores and .hundreds to vole the ticket. Is not this (progress? Have we not reason to hope that we will ft length be successful 7 The people know—t'hfy are satisfied that thp workings of this “ peculiar and patriarchal institution” do not, aqd that they never can, redound to tteir benefit, either politically or pecuniarily ; and therefore, even Slaveholders themselves, (we know many such) will hail with joy the circumstances which will rid ih#m, forever, of this blight and stain upon their fair es cutcheon, without too great pecuniary or do mestic disadvantage. The great trouble is the want of a feasible plan, and many, who are avowedly in favor of.emancipation, look with distrust upop any; plan which may be mentioned. The diversity of gptpifp ia upon the manner in which it j» to be done. That it may be done is admitted by all; but Apia f A whole host of evils originate in. the minds of the timid, pass be -lote their eyes like tho procession of ghosts jn Macbeth, and frighten them again into submission. We, however, are gaining strength. Every day the party increases in power, and as it increases-in power, courage, faith and hope also increase. As we have already slated, we consider it important that olayery should be confined within its present bouts. ]f ibis be done, the people of the oouih will gat new life and vigor', from your • success—if you fail, they -will lose theirfaith and courage, and lacking this, they will also rr it ij!

' Chabiton, Luoas Co., lowa, Aug. 22. Friend Cobb : I have been much grati fied of late in reading your paper, and in looking over the letters of your correspond ents, to see (hat so much enthusiasm prevdils different sections of the east, towards the edcclion ticket—Fremont and Dayton; and 1 take an especial prKK, «t this time in sending along a feeble voice from a Stqte in the “far west," that has so recently .and so emphatically placed herself upon the side of Freedom, and nhich has so unequivo cally spoken her hostility to the encroach ments of the slave power upon free Territo ries. The smoke of the balile is not yet en tirely cleared up, but enough is known of the returns (osee that the Republicans have made a clean sweep in the state. The only doubts have been in regard to who has been elected from this (Ist) district, but the recent returns settles this point; and shows that Col. Curtis Republican is elected by about 1600 majority. is this not a victory to be prpud of? For we lpt>w that our opponents have strained every nerve to falsify the position.,that the west stood upon, in regard to the Kansas diffi culties, They have heralded it forth tojhe world that the Great West which borders upon Kansas, had no sympathy with her sons in their struggle for freedom in that Territory. But lowa has spoken in a voice not to be mis taken,, that she is not to he fettered by (he Slave Power. Why should not the Mends o( freedom exult, when they jenow tiiat-tbis victory has been won in the face of the most determined oppnsiiion of the Administration parly, (bey have left no stone unlurnedto consummate a different result. They have had, during ail •the' contest, a very decided advantage over ■the Republican Party. The Post Offices and the various Land Offices with their patronage, have beert unscrupulously used in their be half. You that 'know anything of Western politics, know that politicians here enter upon ‘a contest of this kind, with a vehemence known only to themselves. But in spite of the log rolling, and attempts to evade the true issue by the cry o( disunion and Aboli tionism, the gross misrepresentation pf the Northern emigrants to Kansas, and a thou sand other misrepresentations and falsehoods, the victory has been one for the right—com plete and triumphant. The southern part of lowa is peculiarly well situated jlbr a battle ground in politics, fprjho attempt to stigmatize the. Republican ipty/y qaap Abofitipa party has been made with some success.’ Although living near .the borders of slavery and knowing the curse it entails pppn the, Slates that .foster it, yet the people of this section do .pot feel at liberty to - meddle ■ with - an institution fbat is solely under (ho control of each,Slate's sovereignty. Bui .when; a.Territory of the size and impor tance that Kansas is, is to be forced and sub jugated to slavery by those interested in its extension, sho is ready to speak and to act. I notice one -important fact in regard to the preseni'campaignt'whichT think is something to the causa of'Freedom in this State, which •is, that many off he best working men of the Republican Parly, arc men who claim their birth-place in tbe.Soutb ; (bey have left their homes in Kentucky, Missouri ond other Sou(breo States, to seek a new home on the free soil of lowa. These men have been reared during ihfeir early life in the midst of slavery, and they know how it blights llte prospects and checks the prospects of every fool of land that it grasps. Is it strange then that the people of the North and-. West should unite their efforts to make Kansas a free State, and thereby save her from tbo curse that hangs over many of our sister Slates 1 Lotus compare lowa and Missouri to fee Ihp importance of the object to be attained. Here are two States that Ije side by sideband ip. every natural advantage Missouri is the superior. This 1 state upon the authority of every emigrant that I have seen who. has been a resident of both, the States.; and al. though Missouri has been long settled, and lowa scarcely yet oat of her jofaaoy, yet improved lands in lowa are worth double lha price pec acre that the same in old farms in Missouri are. This is a fact well known by all land speculators, and no one will enter Government lands in Missouri, if they stand the least chaace of getting a ferm ia edge wise in lowa. But Kansas is bound to be either a Missouri or an lowa, in regard to the institution of slavery. It must be either the home of the free emigrant of all parts of ihe Union, or be entangled with the curse of African slavery which will virtually exclude the enterprising and industrious emigrants from all the States, and it svill settle down'a second Missouri, so far as their lack of en ergy will make them. Its effect upon morals of all who may emigrate there is equally important ; but I prefer to let those who have been brought up in the institution of slavery tell that part of the story. I can give no belter evidence on that point, (ban a remark made by a lady of Kentucky in .wri ting to her sister in this slate, In making in quiries for a good place to locale in ; when she gives as her sole reason for doing so, (hat she “does not wish to entail the curse of the parents upon her children by raising (hem up in the midst of slavery.” Yet 1 was in formed by her that scarcely no one was bet ter situated to live so far as the things of this world would add to t he enjoyment of life. And this be it remembered is the code of morals that we are asked to extend to Kan sas. But the issue is before the people, and all attempts of the Administration party, to evade it will,prove utterly fruitless in this sec tion of the country.
