FROM KANSAS.

KANSAS TERRITORY, 9Th mo. %, 1854.
10 the Editor Of the National Era:
Those who intend to come, and who feel an
interest in the success of Freedom in Kansas
cannot come too soon. Thew should be here
before the choosing of the first Legislative
Council, as upon that Council much will de.
pend; for, if it be Pro-Slavery. il will pass a
law permitting Slavery in the Territory-and
once established it will be hard to eradicate.
My main object now is to warn emigrants
against the impositions of Slavery propaganda
lists, who are In the practice of telling persons
from the free States all manner of lying stories
about Kansas to deter them from coming here.
AS an instance, may mention that gentleman
came here few days ago from Pennsylvania,
and, falling in with prominent STAKEHOLDER.
he was told that it was of no use to 90 fur
ther, for the country was all claimed, and the
emigrants were fighting over it; that the coun-
try was very sickly 80 that people could scarcely
live; with other stories of like character, all of
which he knew to be false. But small part
of the country is yet occupied, and it is now
eight years since first came here, since which
time have spent three years here, and it is
my honest opinion that Kansas is one of tho
healthiest portions Of the West. The land is
very high and rolling, and there is the least
standing or stsgnant water that have seen
in any country. There are many beautiful
streams of running water, and springs of good
water are very common.
| would say to emigrants, believe no bad
stories that you may hear by the way, but push
on; and those who come by way of Independ-
ence, or Kansas, in Missouri, may inquire for
the Friends Mission, and they will be correctly
informed about the country, and sent on their
way rejoicing. AS ever, for Freedom

HINsDALE, Mass, Sept. 2, 1854.

To the Editor of the National Era;
The people of Hinsdale, Massachusetts,, held
a meeting August 2sth, to effect town Or
ganization under the name of Republican, and
to choose delegates to the Republican Conven-
ton at Worcester, September 7th. The OBJ
jects were effected with spirit Of unity. Men
formerly acting with the old parties are heart
lily engaged in uniting the strength of the peo-
pie ON the side of Freedom. There will be
more independent acting and voting, and less
subserviency to party dictation when the time
GENES for the expression of the voice of the
people 40 the polls, next November. The lead
ers of the Wing party attempted to show their
fondness for Anti-Slavery principle in the late
Wing Conventior-lst by resolving that the
Wing party of tho State has always been true
to Liberty "a declaration historically false,
as the record of the votes of it's delegates to
the Baltimore Convention will show, when they
voted to discountenance all agitation of the
Slavery question Cd, by lodging the Cuba
question: and leaving loopholes through which
they may escape to the Southern wing. 1t yet
remains to be seen what will be the result of
such policy Unless the people have become
stupefed by resolves without action, they will
see through such "expedieDt" policy, and
place their mark of condemnation on such a
two-sided party. Yours fer Liberty,

To the Editor of the National Era:
A large and enthusiastic meeting was held
here yesterday, of electors of the first Congress
SIGNAL district in this State. They renounced
all old party names and associations, and es-
tablished new organization, solely upon the
basis of opposition to Slavery, to be called
Republican. E. B. Washburne, the present
member of Congress, was unanimously nomi-
mated.
The determination was clearly expressed
and the feeling is deep and strong, that there
shall be no compromise with Slavery, no slave
Territory, and no more slave States
Mr. Washburne will be reelected by an
overwhelming majority.
Yours, sc. FRANCIS BURNAP.

THE Protector" although but recently introdu-
