there are mary pro-Slavery incomers from Missouri

KANSAS PAPERs.--We have before us the first num-
Der of The Herald Of FreedoDs-a large, well'exe-
cued sheet issued at Wakarusa, in the Territory of
Kansas. 1t is conducted by G. w. BRows, late OF
Tie C0nneautrWe Pa Courier, and filed with in
teresiiDg matter mostly original, relative to the new
Territory Persons feeling interest in the settle
ment of Kansas, and especially those who desire to
make it free State and possess means should by all
means patronze TIE Herald If Freedom. Mr.. Brown
has opened an office in Buffalo, and subscriptions lac
companied by the CASH may be forwarded TO him
there. The price of the paper is 30 per annum. Ii
will be ably managed, and we trust it may be liber-
ally sustained.
Tie Kansas Herald, d" a horse OF another color,
hang from Loavonworth, Kansas, was put on the
track on the 18th Sept, by Osborne Adams. We
infer from it's tone that it goes in for territorial
"soveregnty" and sham Democracy The Govern
ments money, we presume, will keep this nag under
Roadway.

less many similar associations will rse up from inc
various sections of our wide extended country
EMIGRATION INTO KAssAs.-We learn from gen
teman who has just returned to this city from ksn-
sas where he has been since the passage OF the
Territorial Government bill that, so far no slaves
have been carried into the Territory, though many
Arkansas and Missouri Shareholders and other south
ern State citizens have taken up claims there.
Up 10 very recent period, the southern settlers
greatly outnumbered those from northern States Who
were going in there. Now however, the tide seems
TO have changed According to the views of this in
teligent and usually well informed gentleman, ere the
the next Presidential election comes of Kansas Will
have formed her State Constitution and will be
knocking at the door of Congress for admission into
the Union as a State WASH Star
