THE VOICE
FRIENDS.
June 20th, 1851. ....
or
THE PEOPLE.
From one extreme lo Ihe oilier of the Free
States has arisen, since the passage of the
Nebraska-Kansas Bill, the voice of denuncia
tion and wherever we cast our eyes upon the
columns of a jjapcr which is not inthtpay, and
under obligation* for lite patronage of the ad
ministration, we see scathing and merited re
bukes of the Northern Representatives who
basely eold to the South, the birth-right of a
Free constituency, for a -mess of pottage or,
what is still worse, for the sake of office and
power, under the patronage ot a grasp'.ng and
imbecile administration.
The People, and the Press, without regard to
party lines, or old party predilections, are com
ing out boldly against this great swindle, which
is to establish, in the future, some "great prin
ciple" now unknown to the masses,but which,
to* the knowledge of the originators and Tra
iners of this infamous bill, will contribute lo
the aggrandizement and building up of the
South, and consequently is inimical to the in
terests of the North.
The speech of Mr. Benton, on the "Secret
motive for the Nebraska pressure," will give
our readers a slight knowledge as to what this
••great principle'' is and which, under the
false name of non-intervention, is to engulph
at one swallow all the Territory that can pos
sibly be bought, coaxed, or forced from Santa
Anna, the Dictator of Mexico and this'"great
principle," is also to be applied to Cuba, upon
the annexation of which the administration and
the South have determined—by fair means if
possible, and if not thus to be obtained, to be
gotten by forcc for which purpose all the ves
sels, men, and munitions of war, under the
control or at the command of the government,
are now being concentrated and put in trim for
speedy and certain use, should Spain prove
stubborn and Tefuse to sell at a nominal price,
the fairest possessions in the South Eastern
seas.
And why is this grasping, sordid, scheme of
Territoral aggrandizement being so vigorously
and relentlessly pursued, by an administration
whose chief and leader is from the North?—
flimply because he is sold body and soul to1
Southern men and Southern interests. The
South is not satisfied with the Compromises of
1850 it is not enough that ths freemen of the
North should all be made Slave-catchers and
%|ols, as it w ere, of slave dealers not satisfied
Aat in Representation what they hold to be
jfuittel property has a stronger voice in gover
nmental affairs than the freemen of the North,
%ut the area of Slavery must be extended 1—
-4$uba on the South, Kansas and Nebraska, to
gether with a large portion of a dismembered
«id down-trodden Republic, must be added to
to their possessions and be subject to be over
run by the the blight of Slavery and this, too,
the expense of the Missouri Compromise—
-'J( Compromise sacred to the nation, because it
pealed the sores of contention, drwve dissolution
ijjjnd anarchy froai the land, and gave universal
feace to all parts of our, then already exten
sive and beautiful, country. Ju&tiot^o a weak
J|pd half-governed people, is not not thought of
this foray of Territorial annexation and ag
grandizement and the peace and quietness of
l|ie country is not at all considered. Southern
J*cn, and Northern men bought over to South
lijm interests, have set their wits to work
|)r the accuujptiflmient df'this irpo=r—the
driving out of this "great principle"—and
•othing short of wresting from them the power
—a merited rebuke from the hands of the peo
ple—will avail anything with these hot-heads,
Or the administration who upholds them. Let
Co igressmen, Governors and Legislators be
^lioscn, with an eye to this purpose, and thus
4ow to the South, and the administration that
flinders to its interests, that the people must and
to ill be heard.
Mr. Benton, in his speech, says: "I believe
)|i the futility of this bill—its absolute futility
the slaveholding States—and that not a a sin
gle slave will ever be held in Kansas or Ncbras
Haka under it. Though adapteJ to slave labor

do not believe that slave* will ever he held
there
But we differ with him in belief. The signs
of the times portends a different result. The
very fact itself, as he says, of Kansas being a
ffeaptcd to slave-labor, and lying "contiguous to
Kiddle and Southern Missouri, where the slave
{fade is profitable, and slaves held in great nuin
iMsrs—a single owner, within two hours ride of
4ke line, holding one hundred more than the five
'hundred of Randolph of Roanoke: and five
thousand in his county alone is proof con
clusive to us of a different result, aside from the
ifeps that are being taken by Missourians to
their slaves into Kansas, and keep them as
Hjivcs, at all hazards.

resolutions dcclaie for slavery in Kansas, and

The River company and Board of

Tuesday evening las?, on the steamer
Julia Dean having been as high up the
Demoine as Boonsboro, some 30 or 40
miles above Ft. Demoine, from which
place they were compelled to return, on
account of the heavy rains in that sec

highly pleased with the country, audsay
that above the Forks the country is as
good, if not better, than it is below.

that this improvement should meet the
approval of our friend of the Free Press,
who seems to be in doubt on the subject
of discarding the S, as well as that there
is such a place as Ottumwa—for in all
his "Notes of Travel'" we have never
seen any notice of the place, either com

Committee that will be managed by us,
and then go ahead. The farce was com-
tion wat called. When the meeting
was convened and organized, a gentle
man moved that tl e convention should
do as of old-—allow each township s
certain number of delegates—what pre.
sumption in the gentleman! But then it
made no difference, the troops were
surveys now progressing to motion emanating from any other than
such as the clique desired, and every
one, horse, foot and dragoons, were al
lowed to vote. Delegates were appoint
ed to the Governor's Convention. They
were al! right ol course. For School
Fund Commissioner they nominated a
good nan—personally he is ill right—
every time. But a man is judged by
the company he keeps. He went forth
endorsed by tha'. clique. He "went forth
for wool and came back shorn." He
might have known his defeat was cer
tain. A nomination emanating from such
a source would have alone defeated the
best man that treads the earth. Let him
in the future take better notice of those
with whom he politically associates.-^*
Well, their purposes, both here and at
the capital, were frustrated—right for tlto
once prevailing. The 27ih of May was
the day fixed upon for another farce, oi
Mass Convention. The same motion
as to each township representation was
made, and, of course, defeated. Dele
gates to the Congressional and Senatorial
Conventions to be held at Chariton, were
appointed. They, of course, were those
who would answer the purposes of the
clique. Al the head of them was placed
a man who has led people to expect bet
ter things of him. Everything was
transacted in a manner suitable to the

We should think that a man who was

the embodiment of democracy should at
least, show himself before the people,
and if he can't make a speech let the

As he is going to

would be well enough for him to go out

that he may not violate it like Gov.
Hempstead did in vetoing1 two bills pro

There are tome things, Mr. Bates, on
which the people would like to know
how you stand. Do you go with the
administration in sanctioning the Ne

you veto a bil! authorizing a convention
to change the Constitution? To these
and inTiny other issues we invite your
attention, and ask of you to come out
and vindicate your democracy, if you
have any.— Ml. Pleasant Observer.

A call signed by eixty-five of the lead

dishonor thrust upon the county, by the
introduction of the infamous Douglas
Nebraska Bill in Congress," independent
of party dictation, "boldly at.d freely, and

It will be seen that we have placed this

its inspiration the Whig party will sink

policy every instinct ol self d- fecce, the
most juaiif.::ble resentment for venerated
principles outraged, and sacred compro
mises disregarded at the call of selfish
interest an tamest regard for the true
and substantial welfare of the whole
country, conspire to make it the duty of
the North to protest against the further
extension of blavery, whose touch is a
withering curse. "Not another foot of

"We are apprehensive that Mr. Gil

contrary, it is clear enough that others

Mr. Clarke is a brother of Grace
Greenwood, whose fame is world wide,
whose beautiful writings and nnble
thoughts have stirred the soul, and waked
to glowing light the intellect of her le%
thousand readers.
Mr. Clarke's numerous friends in the
East will be gratified to learn that his
talent is dulv appreciated in Ihe West.
It will doubtless be urged here, as arP
oljoction, that he is not sufficiently
known, has never been indetitified with
the politics of the day. this, instead of
being an objection, will certainly result
ir his favor. Coming fresh from the
people, without having previously dab
bled in politics, with no old issues to
meet, no old prejudices to counteract,
he comes before the voters of the first
Congressional district, t!i& strongest man
that could have been placed upon the
track.
Mr. Clarfce will carvass tlie district,
and if we are not deceived, his opp».
nent and the opposition, at the end of
the canvass, wnl know him enongh to.
fear him. We anticipate a lively time,
and if his competitor will meet him^itt
the stump, there is fun ahead.
Mr. Clsrke is right upon theNeWntf.
ka question, the great issue in this cam
paign. It is to be decided the coming
election whether Iowa will sell herself to
slave power, whether she will yield to
the dictation of Southern arrogance^,
whether our Senators and Representa
tives in Congress bv thwir trtn-kling to
Southern politicians and Northern
doughfaces, meet with the approbation
of the Freemen of Iowa, whether we
"prefer" a slave population to that trff
wanderers from other climes, who leave
the land of iheir nativity ta esfeape from
tyranny and oppression, amKeek to find
here a home of Liberty, whether we
are willing lhat slavery should extend
her dimiuions over a land lhat was made
Irie more than thirty years ago by a sol
emn compact between the North and the
South, whether Iowa is willing lo be
bounded on the west by a Territory,
that can at any moment become a slave
territory, whether we as a free people,
knowing the blighting influences of
slavery, will sanction its funher extension
—these questions are to be decided in
August. Bernhart Henn, our present
Congressmen, Iras sanctioned all these,
has endorsed them all the way through
by his words and his votes and now
coines up Augustus Hall, and re endor
ses them in the Ch?riton resolutions, in
