SIavehokders-A6Otitio lists and Freesoilers

c0mP-Iheir movements.
To-day large number of highly respectable
citizens of Kansas Territory and of the State
of Missouri, assembled here for the purpose of
organizing /" claim association" to protect
their rights as sqatters On the soil of said terri

1.-The first resolution adopted by the meeting
declares in favor of bona .tide squatter sove-
reigHtys and acknowledges the right of any
citizen of the United States to make claim in
Kansas 'Territory,ewith- the-,ultimate.. view of
occupying it.
The third resolution declares as follows, viz: :
That every person of lawful age, or who may
be the head of a family, who shall mark out
hls claim Of 100 acres, so that it shall be appa-
rent how the same lies, and proceed with rea-
sOnable diligence to erect thereon cabin or
tent, shall be deemed to have made proper
claim
Inc eighth resolution declares as follow, viz:
That we will afford protection to no abolition
ISIS as settlers of Kansas Territory.
And the 9Th declares, That we recorniZe
the institution or slavers as already existing in
tins territory, and recommended to Shareholders
to introduce their property as early as possible"
According to these resolutions, abolitionists
or freegollers would do well not to stop in Kan.
sas Territory, hut keep on upthe Missouri river
until they reach Nebraska Territory, where
they can peacefully make claims and establish
their abolition and tree-soil notions; for if thev
do, they will be respectfully notified that bnt
one days grace will be allowed for them to
take up their bed and baggage and walk.
II Is estimated that some two thousand claims
have already been made within fifteen miles of

most energetic mechanics, has left Smyrna. to
take up his future abode in Sudlersyille, Md
lie has lived in Smyrna for some time. and was
universally esteemed as a moral and pnriobt
citizen, and as Il good mechanic. Mr.. Start
did not cOnfne' himself to the mere ordina rv
work which is every day laid before man. but
set his head to work to improve the machinery
then IN daily employ, which resulted in his OBJ
talnlng patent, in February, 1910, for tilting
wagon which answered, very well, the place of
'Ooth cart and wagon. Seeing where inlprove4
ments could be made in wheat reapers. he apain
set MS genius to work, whichre suited in oripi4
mailing and procuring, in 1852, patent for a
wheat reaper. This, however, was not finished
Tor practical use. Enr.want OF. means. and NOT
receiving the proper encouragement from his
friends, lie was forced to abandon if for the
time. Several gentlemen of ability. of SuJ.
lersvllle, have promised him the necessary aid
to complete the invention, which he is very
Sangulne of doing. This machine cuts and
lays the wheat in lunches already for the bind
