We intend, on a future occasion, lo have
something to say upon the prospects opened
up by Livingstone's explorations in Africa
for dryiief up the slave trade and knocking
slavery into ' pi' everywhere by legitimate
commerce. We believe that Livingstone,
during his sixteen years of travel iu Africa,
has brought to light the fulcrum on which
humanitarians can place their lever, und
produce the greatest social revolution ever
brought about. Africn, wo fully believe,
contains her own euro, and if her resources
arc once developed by u proper direction ol
icr present iinedueiited labor, sbo may
servo' the world and ' rule' its commerce at
the same time.

Kansas uctiu red uy " the common bl"O.I

and whut r giit has Iowa, any more than
Kansas, to d .scrim, mite against slave prop
erty so as to deprive citizens of any portion
of the Union of their iMt.oual and constitu
tional rights? This discr.miimtioii against
slave property us regards emigration into
free States, wo luivo thus shown, has al
ways existed, anil never by the South been
considered a hardship. And why? L
c mse, perhaps, the citizens of thu slave
States felt, the privilege to vote 0:1 their
slaves, that species of property hud ubtii lli d
iccul.iir und transcendent nilvnnlnge over
all other properly in tho Union, thut more
than compensates lor its 0110 restrict, on, to
w.t: that it should not enter into uud esluu
l.sh itself in five States.
If the South is tired of this disciiiniun-
tiou against slave property, which has ex
isted since the government wus established,
uud desires it abandoned, then the South
should propose to uhnudoii uNo the privd-
'es that such properly eiijovs. hiuvly it

Inasmuch ns the entire Democratic par
ol' tiie free Stabs are as decidedly op
posed as even the Ucpuhl.cun party, to the
extension ot slavery over territory previ
ously free, it is quite evident that Congress
wdl never intervene to protect slave proper
ly iu the Terr.tories. Sueh being the fact,
those Southern men, who object lo Mr.
Hates as u slavery restrictionist, might well
ask ttiemselvis whether more of honor or
advantage is gained by asking what cannot
be hid, and submitt ug to the fatal neces
s iyof denial nnddeicat; or usking only
that the present limits, privileges, u:ul guar
antees of slavery be niainta,ned, and obtain
