Agitation, sc.

Speaking Of the Nebraska question, the
Enquirer says "the great masses of the people
are sick of an agitation by which nobody
has gained anything" And who got up this
agitation! What was the first reason we urg-
ed against the introduction Of this bill u;
all! Why thatit would produce just such
agitation as the Enquirer now condemns
Douglass introduced this bill. And why did
he do il! Wherein was the necessity f. such
bill. Nothing in the world but his selfish
aspirations urged the introduction of this bill
with its amendments, when there was no ne
cessity for it. The Enquirer may well corr
denim agitation on the subject OF slavery, but
still it has no compunctons in supporting
agitators. In doing SO the editor il an agia a.
tor himself, but fortunately very small one
and most miserably weak. Before Douglass
produced this agitation and strife, the &C un-
try was in the enjoyment of peace. The
people breathed free, and anticipated hap.
ply calm for years to como. But ambitious
ds.nagogues do not like to see the people en-.
joy quiet. 1.-THE people were to remain calm
demagogues would not rise. Agitation
agitation-is the life of demagogues. We
hope it will be the political death OF one
demagogue at least, and as great dema
gogue as there is in the ccun,ry-Douglass

Bread stufs

Our friends in the eastern States who
contemplate emigrating west, will never
fnd a more favorable time for doing so
than during the present season. The
protracted drouth throughout the entire
eastern and middle States has cut off ef-
cry species of vegetation, save wheat and
the early spring crops; the result is the
cost of living there for the year to come,
well be enormous.
In the States of Iowa, western Illinois
and Wisconsin there is bountiful yield
of ali kinds of grain, and with our direct
water communication With these States it
IS but reasonable 10 suppose that Weshall
be enabled to buy our bread stuffs at rea-
soasble prices, while in more distant parts
of the country they viii be exorbitant.-
Let our friends in the east who are think
ing of removing west consider this subject
well, and beside whether it would not be
essier 10 come where grain can be purchas.

Our Head.

The engraving, forming part of the
head OF the HERALD or FREEDoH, was
designed With the purpose of illustrating
the commercial city which will soon make
its appearance IN the Kansas Valley. 1t
represents sunset view on the prairies,
with the meandering of the Kansas, and
also an indistinct view of the mouth Of
the Wakarusa; while above, on the south
ern bank of the Kansas, is seen the beau
tiful city, which will soon have an exist
ence other than In name. The steamboat
is rapidly making its way up the river.
heavily laden with human freight, while
ON the left may be seen locomotive and
train of passenger cars, probably the first
trip over the Pacific Railway In front a
train of emigrans wagons are observed,
while near them on the left is small par
tY, perhaps of our southern brethren, who
look rather disheartened in view of the inn
mense tide of free iabosers who are hour
IL making their way to the interior por-
tions of the territory. The design is a
happy one, and the artist has our thanks
for the fidelity of its execution.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1854-10-21
A Word to EmiRrants.

With one of the most salubrious eli
mates in the world, we think Kansas Ter
ritory offers inducements to the enterpri-
sing emigrant for settling in it superior to
any other country and yet We would i'm
press upon them the advantage OF locating
in the fall, or early in the winter, in pref
erence to the spring. With every country,
though no more than hundred miles dis
tant from another, there is change ia
climate, TO which ne must become aeci-
mated if We would enjoy good health
Ali experience has demonstrated that an
tumn and winter best prepares the human
constitution for atmospheric changes. He
who locates IN new country during these
seasons is seldom affected by the diseases
peculiar to the climate, whilst he who re-
moves in the spring too often falls prey
TO what appears to him an unoongenial
temperature.
It is apprehended by some that there
will be much suffering from those who To-
cate among us this fall, from the want Of
the necessaries Of life, and protection from
the inclemency of the weather; but let all
such remember that money, or that OF
which money is the representative-labor
will supply both of these wants here,
and at much lower rate than they can be
supplied in the eastern cities. Those,
however, who wish to enjoy the luxuries
of life in abundance, and who are not viii
ling To forego little present III for fu-
tare competence, have no business in the
territory. and we advise them by all means
te remain behind. Those OF us who have
located in Kansas have done SO with the
view of building up great and powerful
State. We makeit our permanent homes
and design it as the abode of-our children.
Cities, prosperous villages and cultivated
fields must soon take the place of desola-
ton !; and schools, academies, colleges and
churches are destined, in very few years
to decorate every hill side. Who Is there
whose brow indicates intelligence, and ey.
cry action energy of purpose, who is NOT
desirous of contributing his influence IN
moulding the destinies Of the future com
monwealth. Come on then NOR, this very
season, and the thousands who are bal
a few months ahead of you win welcome
you cordially to their homes, and extend
to yon every aid and protection in fheiI
power.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1854-10-21
Our Motto.

As long ago as April last we wrote WM.
WALKER. Esq, the intelligent provision
al Goyernorof the Wyandot Indians, who
are located on the north side of the Kan
sas river, where il connects with the Mis-
sour, inquiring whether he would favor
the project of our settlement in the Terri
tory with view of publishing weekly
journal. In his reply. among other things
he says:
Eli Jour object in locating in the West
is such as other ennierants haze in-Fiew-
that of bettering their own condition in
life, and becoming useful members of
society IN the Territory or State of their
adoption lin short, if your aim be to
BE JUST; LET ALL TIE ENDS THOU AId-
EST AT, BE THT CouETRTs; Cons AND
TRUTHs, would say, come and welcome.
Bring your Press with you, devote it to
the discussion Of questions in political
economy, to the cause of education, the
dissemination Of useful knowledge, &c"
We have reflected much upon that let
ter and finally have adopted the motto
thus presented as beautifully appropriate
to our paper. We locate in this garden
of the world with the view Of developing
its resources, and carrying out to the letter
the programme thus kindly presented
We will ever labor to preserve our CoUN-
TKT from dishonor, as we viii to secure the
alteration of the SuPREME BEIEo, and viii
use every effort in our power to preserve
fiom injury the yestibule which leads 10
the temple of TRurH.

Steamer on the Kansas.

1t is desirable that steamer of light
draft be put in operation as soon as posi-
BILE, on the Kansas river. A small steam
wheel boat, drawing not more than eight
cen inches of water, could ply on the riy-
er the most of the year, and be of iin-
mense value to the new colony, besides
paying great profits to the owner. If
some other plan is not resorted to soon, we
propose joint stock company be formed,
and means sufficient raised from this
source. ~
A communication from j. E. GouLD,
ESD, of Armstrong county. Pa, stated
that vessel of the kind described could
be purchased, ready for service, for from
$1,000 to $4,000. The Emigrant Aid
Company viii give such an enterprise all
the encouragement In their power, and if
necessary TO its success, if undertaken by
energetic persons, win probably favor them
with liberal loan.
1t may be proper to state IN this con
nection, that the steamer Ezcel, mention
ed BY Mr.. PARE in his trip up the Kansas,
has been Withdrawn from the river, leay-
ing us at this time with no mode of travel
inland, sffer leaving the Missouri at Kan
sas city, than private land conveyance, a
yery expensive and inconyenieat mode Of
visiting the interior.

Destinv of Kansas.

To show the sentiment on the slavery
question prevailing about Fort Leayen-
worth We quote the following resolution,
adopted at meeting held near that place
about the lst of Sept. with but four
dissenting votes. We, have no doubt it
represents the views Of the people in that
vicinity, as they are principally from
western Missouri A similar resolution
would not receive four affirmative votes
in the valley of the Kansas river, as the
people here are principally from the
northern and eastern States and, as far as
our information extends, are unanimously
opposed to slavery:
" "Resofred, That Kansas Terriiory-and
as consequence. the State Of kansas--
o.. gigkt should be and therefore SHALL
BE slave territory.

: We Are not exactly adeoeates Of slave
ry, but would prefer it by far to com

Ne.o York Ea.
Yes, sir, and you are fit to be slave
.ssarself. Il wotaid be a worse than pur-
sssssissf sa n e....slieis.. l..ss .yess the
society of such men as are to ''oecnry these
new territories" You could not live
among them and entertain the selfish
views you now do. Yonr own moral and
intellectual debasement would contrast so
forciably with the community" you speak
Of, it would induce you to retire at once
into more congenial social atmosphere
The vices of the cities, or the degrading
employment of a Legree would better
become you than mingling with the free
horn, liberty-loYing, God-wofshiping spec
pie" who who have settled the broad prai-
ries Of Kansas as their future dwelling
places.
You "ars not efactiy the advocate of
slavery, but you would prefer it, mo doubt,
to residence among us, on the same prin-
ciple that it is said the apostate fiend of
darkness shrinks away from the region Of
celestial purity, to escape the eternal con-
ciousness of his own degfsdation.-
We hope that all who are 80 lost to shame
will prefer the same eondita On, and keep
out of this community. ~

Read and Ponder.

1t is said there is a company established
at Antwerp, for the purpose of forwarding
convicts to this country, and that the au-
thorities pay premium on each one sent
over by the company. Arrests have late
" been made, but nothing definite could
be proven, and so the newly arrived male
factors are let loose upon us. These are
o sample of the ''settlers" to be forwarded
10 our new States and Territories by the
newly invented Western Emigratiug As
sociations."
We clip the above from a New York
paper, with the view of showing our read
ers the character of the arguments which
a hireling press are disposed to use against
the Pioneers for Freedom in Kansas
Could the author of that vile elander have
seen the xamples' Of SETTLERS" which
have already, and are hourly pouring into
this Territory, through the influence of
the newly invented Emigfant Aid Associ-
ations,he would hang his head with shame,
and retire into some obscure garret in his
native city 10 reflect upon his own inaig-
nifcanee compared with the high intellect
aal aud moral sudoWments, and real per-
sonal worth of those he classes with the
eonyicts OF Antwerp.
We assert, and that fearless of contra
dictioa from any one who has personal
knowledge upon the subject, that there
never was more Intelligent, industrious
and worthy population who emigraied TO a
new country, than ara those who have, or
are about leeating IN Kansas. In every
lsndable enterprise, before leaving their
eastern homes, they were foremost; and
in locating here they have the good Of
humanity at heart They come TO erect
anew the fresida circle, and worship at
the altar eff Freedom. The Bible Is in
one hand, and the school book in the 9th
ar. Schools, Colleges and Churches are
not the offshoot of sAntwerp convicts; :
and vet, wherever the eastern settler
makes location these will follow as a
maitssof course. The Massachusetts, Emil
grant Aid Company have already instruct
ed their agents TO commence Immediately
the erection of school houses at their ex-
pense, aud to give every encouragement in
thsir power to the building Of churches.
