Settlement OF Kansas.

From the It. Louis Herald June 29.l
We see by paragraphs in the Eastern papers that
on antisavery principles still "sgitatng" They
are holding meetings, making speeches, getting no
reports, passing resolutions, and doing everything
to the accomplishment Of which nothing besides
tongue and pen is essential. Their actual progress
in the emigration movement is less apparent From
statement Of what took place last week in New
York at meeting comprising several different sec
tiohs OF these agtators, we should infer that the
assures US, however that the whole capital Of the
Emigrants' Aid Association viii soon be called in,
the managers have advertised for proposals for
carrying from o,00o r. 10000 persons from the
Eastern States to Kansas this fall" From the
same stattme we gather what foIlows:-
The citizens Of Rochester having sent a delegation 70
inquire into the affairs Of the company ready to take

to join the enterprise, and establish nrst class wssk

Of Nor,l ern fIeemen prevent IL Hon. Moses II
Ginne Of New York has accepted the Office Of trustee
scented to be full II hope and enthusiasm Atlas
Meanwhile the frontiersmen Of Missouri are &C.
tusly taking possession Of the land by going in true
settler fashion--each stalking out or otherwise
marking his claim and the different bodies Of men,
who are thus brought iuto proximity, meeting
chiefly for the purpose OF regulating the
settlement, by defining the manner in which
claims are to be held, and providing against con-
fcls amongst different claimants. Il is true that
at ore Of these meetings, some resolutions were
passtd in respect to the slavery question. But
there resolutions were very temperate; nor even
would these have been passed, had II not been for
the agitation at the North.
Looking FIRST ut the Northern meetings, and then
ct tie Western Ones the difference be tween the two
is striking. The tenn OF the Western meetings IL
calm, secate and resolute. Their proceedings are
practical and business like. The actors in them 90
to work like men who understand what they are
about. Tie Northern meetings show the enerves
cence OF giddy passion. they show the character
Of tie No th-which has so many solid features
on its bair-b aimed side. We satisfied that but
few among the really substantial men Of the North
countensnce this emigration excitement there. The
resolutions and oufgiyings Of the agitatos convince
rs that they do not comprehend the work they have
taken In hand, They are at any rate unwise in
raising the excittm, Mt they have, and in making
the proclamatioDs and vaunts they have Of what
they mterd to de-.
Had they proceeded more quietly and nationally,
their chances Of success would have been greatly
improved. n the North is really pervaded by
strong desire TO make sKanas FIRE soil, she needs
not tie stimulants to emigration there which these
sgitatoTs are applying. Monster meetings, high
spiccd resolutions, harangues not always free from
