IN the Eastern States, a home and compe-
fence without the suffering hitherto incident

Soch n removal of an over-crowded popula-
ZION. is one of the greatest advantages to East
ern cities. Again, the enterprise opens COM
mercial advantages to the commercial States,
inst in proportion to the population which it
creates of free men who furnish market to our
manufactures and imports. Whether the new
line of States shall be free States slave States,
is a question deeply interesting to those who
are TO provide the manufactures for their con-
sumption. Especially will prove an advan-
tage to Massachusetts,, il she create the new
State by her resight-supply the first neces-
sites to its inhabitants-and open, in the out
set, cOmmunlcatlonS between IleH MONIES ana
her ports and factories.
In return for these advantages, which the
Company's rapid and simple effort offsets to the
em;elant and to the country, its Stockholders
receive that satisfaction, ranked by Lord Ba-
con among the very highest, of becoming
founders of States,F and, more than this
States which are prosperous and Free They
secure Ills satisfaction by an Investment which
prom; ses large returns at no distant day.
Under the plan proposed, it will be but two
or three wears before the Company can dispose
of its property in the territory first occupied
aud reimburse itself for its first expenses. AT
that time,-in State Of 10000 inhabitants,
it will possess several reservations of $40 acres
each,-on which its boarding houses and mills
stand.-and the churches and school houses
w',i,h it has rendered neee 'sary. From these
ce itrs WI essttt emen of the Sta'e have
ra tated. In other words, these points will
thea be the large commercial positions of the
ne State If there were only one such, Its
val le after the region should be so far peopled
wou d make q very large dividend to the CON-
pany which sold it. besides restoring its origi-
nal capital with which to enable it to attempt
the same adventure elsewhere.
1t is to be Remembered that all accounts
agree that the ZION of Kansas is the most
desirable part of America now open to the
enigrant. 1t is accessible in four days con-
tinuous travel from Boston. Its crops areyery
boantiful,- Its sol being well adapted to the
etaDle, Of Virginia and Kentucky, and espe-
ciallv to the growth Of hemp. In its eastern sec
ton, the woodland prairie land aud inter1nix in
proportions very well adapted for the purposes
Of the settler. Its mineral resources, especially
It's coal, in the central and Western parts are
inexhaustible. A steamboat is already plying
on the Kansas River, and the Territory has
uninterrupted steamboat communication with
New Orleans, and all the tributaries of the
Mississippi river. Allthe overland emigration
to California and Oregon, by any Of the easier
routes, passes of necessity through its limits.
Whatever roads are built westward must be-
gin ia its territory. For it IS here that the
emigrant leaves the Missouri River. Of late
wears the demand for provisions aud bread
stufs made by emigrants proceeding to Cali
fornia, has given to the inhabitants of the
neighboriug parts of Missouri market at as
good rates as they could have found in the
Union.
1t is impossible that such region should
not I'LL up rapidly. The Massachusetts, Emil
grant Aid Company proposes to give conf
deaee to settlers, by giving system to emigra-
ton. BY dispelling the r, that Kansas will
be slave State,-the Company will remove
the only bar which now hinders its occupation
by tree settlers III is TO pc nopeQ tnaI sAnllar
com 2anies will be found in other Free States.
The enterprise is of that character, that for
those who first enter it, the more competition
the better.
1t is recommended that the first settlement
made by the Directors, shall receive the name
of that city in this Commonwealth which shall
have subscribed most literally to the Capital
Stock of the Company, in proportion to its last
decenIial valuation: and that the second set
Element be named from the city next in order
SO subscribing.
1t is recommended that meeting of the
Stockholders be called on the first Wednesday
in June, to organise the company for one year;
aud that the corporators, at this time, make
temporary organization, with power to obtain
subscriptions to the stock, and make any ne
ce3sary preliminary arrangements.
