WasuinoTon, Ju 1854. Dear Srr—A society has been organized in this ity, (called the Union Emigration Society,) by such members of Congress, and citizena generally, ag ‘Were oppored to the repeal of the Missouri compre- miee, and the opening of Kansis and Nebraska to | the intro uction of slavery. Herewith yon will ra eeive sect at copy of its constitution and by-laws. ‘The object of the society, as briefly stated in the ble and fifth article of the coustitation, and the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth sections of -laws, cannot fail to he approved by every of liberty, and of the principles of our federal eonstitution and Union. ‘We know that slave: has everywhere and at all times, and must, from ite very nature, continue to De aggressive. But the fe of the bill to organ- ize itoris! governments for Nebraska and Kansas, which ceclazes that the provisions of the law of 3820, ann gee g forever in these Terri- ‘teries, is inoperative and void, leaves no room to doubt that the Feassholding. power of our govern- ment and covntry has entered w a career of ——— more bold and daring than has ever fore*been gn ope Not only are no farther Jegal barriers to be interposed to prevent the exten sion of slavery, But those which were erected by ‘eur fathers are to be broken down, so that there ‘Shall be no ar i CS ian ag Sy oe ~ to su- preme power inion.

Hmboldened bby ite late success, it has thrown off the mask, and entered boldly Peetolly upon the work of removing all le} ions to ite progress, What has given to slavery—in itself an element of weakness—snch great power?

Gur Territoriesj What They are Good For. (From the Chicago Democrat, Jaty 4.} te | Kansas lies pate west of Missouri, with which it corresponds in soil and climate, with varia- tions which are produced by topographical or other | conditions, The boundary line commences at a point where the 37th degree-of north latitade crosses the western boundary of Mixsouri—thence along saie paraliel to the eastern boandary of New Mexico —thence north to the 38th degree of north latitade —throce along said parallel to the eastern boundary of Utsh, on the summit of the Rocky Monntaina— thence perth to the 40th degree of north latitude— thence along said parallel to the western boundary ot Missonri—and along said boundary to the place of beginning. It is, therefore, abont a geographical degree lers north and south than Missouri. We } have not, as set, had any very extensive and rate exploration of the interior of this uew territory, wend our information in regard to it is quite meagre. Its general featores, however, are known. Intelligent persons from the western part of Mis souri, #ho have been over the Percitories, describe the country in the valley of the Kansas and imme. diately west of Missouri, as of unsurpassed bewit: and agricultural richness,with an abundance of coal, ‘slight advantage to start wit! There area large number of ovher mission sta- tions, schools, &c., in this Territory, established by other denominations.. The ies where they have made beginnings will form the nuclei of the aew settlements, towns, villages and cities which are vo spribg UP throughout Kansas. What they have done in the way of farming, has ca- pacity of the soil to produce all the cereal grains in profusion, aa well as many of those articles of age culture which belong to warm latitudes: ie climate is favorable to either free or slave labor. The latitudinal location of Kansas iy the same as the southern half of Hlinois. Cairo isin the 37th arallel, or not far from it, while the 40th passes fix north of Sangamon county. Between these two ites, according to the bill organizing it, the Terri- tory of Kansie lies. Its elimate is undoubtedly mooitied seme by its latitude, and by its proximity to the mountain ranges on its western border. But if does not differ materially from southern Iitinois, and may, therefore, be occupied by a similar poy lation. Beirg also like Missouri, it is evident that Savery can be profitably maintained within its bor- der—that is, speaking rrlatively. We do not think that slavery is geo one anywhere to the State, in the Inng run. To prove this, we have only to refer to the difference in the condition of the free and slave States, Bot what we mean is that slave labor can ke made available, snd that slavery can be sus- tuired an a State institution, if the majority so will on the first organization of the State government; so that the future position of Kansas in the confed- eracy will have to be determined A Sed pioneers— thore who shall effect a settlement there within the uext forr years. The alave: ists have a pro} in its propinquity to Missouri, and in the climate of the southern portion; “but theaeare more than counterbalanced by the su- perior energy and perseverance of Hie 0 ulation of the free States, and of the tendency o! the tide of foreign emigration in that direction.

According to previons notice, on Saturday, the 10th of June, about three hundred of the citizens of Kanras Territory, and many other citizens of the adjoining State of Missouri, contemplating homes in the Territory, met on Salt creek, about miles weet of Fort Leavenworth, where the following pro- ceedings were bad :— id ‘ ipa tonal la called to a J. |.

Associations have been ized, and even a li emigrant packet ships has been projected, the object ich is to send a tide of Northern aod foreign emigra- tion amet Kansas, under the direct patronage and impulse of sbolition. Now, Knpsaa lies directly west of Missouri, and the people of that Stare bave not been idie spectators of | receedings su bostile to their security. They are willing that things shoula take their nat course, but they have no intention of being made ictims of a deli- Derate aboliion eonspiracy. They vave had abundant experience ef slave stealers on their eastern frontier, which was not populated with a view to slave-stealing; and they do not intend that their western border shall be Ned hy people who are sent there to the one absorbing sentiment of hostility to them. They will not have an aboiition State got up by subscription in their very sight. They will meet jation by associations, ang threats of invasion by a determination to defend the right. e issue is well met, and, if we do not mistake the spirit of the Fouthern people, it will be gallantly de- fended, We have enough of Northern subscriptions, at avy rate; but this publishing of new States by subscrip- tion 1s aystep beyond any — te thens It is now Veyond bope that emigration will be allowed to take its patural course, and determine calmly, in the progress of time, wbat shail be the institutions of Kansas. It is to de a stroggle of fauaticlam and political rancor on one side, anc of plain self-defence on the other.—Charleston Mercury. All this amounts to a declaration that the persons sent to Nebraska and Kansas by the Northern com- panres and associations will not ne permitted to kettle there, but will be driven off by mb force. Re- solutions to the same effect were recently ado by & small squatter meeting in Kansas,near the border. Now all such igus aud resolutions are wrong and outrageous. Once establish in practice the doctrine that the pe:sons already in a Territory, or any cther persons,may exercise the power of decid! who shall ané who eball not emigrate to that Terri- torv, and there’s no conceiving what or where the end would be. Very econ, no doubt, the fellows al- ready upon the ground would appoint a committee to interrogate every new comer, and, if emer swear him as to aie and opinions on the subject of slavery, and, if they didn’t approve his views, order him to be off, bag and bag; .» Not pe olan tll ti Sy it their ess to as- how he obtained the money to get there, and, if they found that it had been furnished by a Northern association, they would at once banish him into exile, The Kansas squatter meeting and the Charleston editor ray distinctly that men sent for- ward by the aid of Northern subscriptions will not be permitted to remain in Kansas—that mob law will take in hand the rectification of such an out- e. ite Southern fanatics had better keep as cool as their warm climate will permit. Northern com- anies, when they supply funds to send ts to ‘ansas, are exercising no more than their rights; and emigrants, when they ay money for the re- moval of themselves and their families to Kangas or anywhere else, exercise no more than their rights. Besides, it the Northern associations shall be half as energetic and successful as they seem likely to be, their bee tod will very soon be £0 numerous that, in the event of difficulties, they will in all proba- bility be more mobbing than mobbed. If the Southern fire-eaters see reason to believe that they cannot make their favorite Nebraska bill work for the promotion of their views without helping it along by mobs, they had better snbmit quietly to inevitable destiny. They hive a right to fight the influence of Northern associations and Northern money with the influence of Southern associations and Southern money, but they had better go no further than that.

It will be seen by notices in this number that the Territories of Nebraska and Kansas are even now being settled, and that people are daily crossing the Miesouri river to select Homes in those charming wilde, The Salt Creek Committee of Sqnatters adopt a very singular platform. In the first place they declare that they will protect the claims of any citizens of the United States who may make claims in that Territ sry corresponding with their prescribed. rule of Hight, end then im another section declare that they ‘‘will pot afford protection to abolitionists.” This speaks volumes for the oft that distinguishes s pation of the rsof Kansas, The same meeting recommend slaveholders to transport their property acroes the river, thereb; publicly avowing their predilection for the ror sion of the curse of alavery. ioneer company, however, are all from the sla States, and so s00n as the people at the East learn that that coun- tay is being eettled, thousands will rash forward to that new country, and a ottawa soon aignify that this new Territory ll, as it ought, be free. ‘We believe that there is no portion of these new ‘Tersitories that is lawfully open for settlement a3 yet, but the rs having no force at his command cannot restrain the uneasy and restless pioneers who are a noe, to make for them- selves bomee in 1s of these new and beantifal The country Nebraska, is fast as the below, upon which hundreds of families have already settled.

Chapman, who has recently made an extensive tour im Nebraska and Kansas, writing from St, Joseph, Mo., June 13, to the Troy Wing, excitement in border life is unparalleled. The rush to California was nothing like it, Oamps are formed, and tents are dctting the hills and val- leys. Thousands are waiting ‘‘the permit” to crosa. Large numbers have organized for mutual protec- tion and defence, and have crossed the river, and are locating claims and staking out farms.
