expense of emigration, by maRArf
tracts with the lines of Transportation
Advertisements have been published to
forward 20, 600 emigrants thisfall. The
fare from Boston to Kansas will be only
S25, one half the usual rate. This is
practicable by having a responsible
moneyed company to make the contract.
In the next place, the emigrants will be
protected from the usual frauds. Fur
Their, the Company proposes to aid the
omigrant after his arrival in Kansas
The agents of the Company have ex-
plored the Territory, and have full in
formation as to all its resources also,
the Company has agents resident there
to receive the emigrants. In the next
place, there are to be receiving-hcuses,
in which the emigrants are &c be lodged
on their FIST arrival. In the meantime,
until the houses are ready, there are
fifty tents erected, in which the first ar
rivals have been already received, and
which will answer for the next draft,
when the first have their log cabins built.
Further, the Company proposes to pro-
vide everything necessary for a new col
ony in the mechanic arts, printing, and,
perhaps, education, secular and religious.
A gentleman from Crawford county, Pa,
is ready to move his power-press into
Kansas and to bring with him 200 fami-
lies, no one of which is worth less than
$4,000. The paper is to be called The
HeraLag Freedom, and the gentleman's
name is Geo. Washington Brown.
Another advantage is, that persons
from the same neighborhood can settle
compactly together, and bring with them
their own institutions. The morals of
the west suffer much from lack of schools
and churches; but, in this way, these go
in the same b oat with the emigrant.-
Thus, the interests of the Company and
the emigrants are identical. The emf
grant is no way bound to the Society /;
no pledge of any kind is demanded from
him, and any %aspersion of the kind is
false. To produce all this good, it is
evident that the Company must have
money, and be a stock company, to trans
act their affairs in a business-Iike way.
The Treasurer is Moses III. Grinnell of
this City, and the Acting Agent, r. ".
Ravens. [Applause.] There is no pos
sible room for any complaint on the part
OF the emigrant; the only operation of
the Company on him will be one of aid
and charity-it never can make n cent
ont of him. Another result will be that
wherever the Company sends emf grsnss,
there a free State must grow up. Zap
plause. 1t is proposed to operate on
Kansas for one year; after which time
she will probably be a State, and and a
free one. Twenty thousand men can, to
a certainty be put into Kansas before
winter. Numbers of persons have writ
ten to the Company that they prefer
Kansas to Nebraska for the soil and eli
mate; but that they will 60 to Nebraska
unless the Company take hold in Kan
sas, as they will not expose themselves
to the vicinity of Slavery. Whatever
the papers may say, the Missouri slave
holders have not moved one slave into
Kansas, although they have staked
claims, and left men to watch them. But
they will never occupy them there will
be less inducement in three weeks or
months, than now. The report of chol-
era OF the route are groundless. Near
ly all the applications to the Company
already made, are from native Ameri-
cans. When the emigration once be-
gins, it will be kept up in a constant
stream. The Company can send an
nually more emigrants to Kansas than
there are Shareholders in the U. States.
[Applause.J The opportunity is the
best ever offered for investment, because
the Company Immediately locates the
cities of the new Territory.
TIE Company intends, after about a
year, to remove their operations from
Kansas probably to a more southern
point, because the design is to make a
line of free States down to the Gulf.
Applause.] The result will be a chain
of railroads and a southern route to
the Pacific. The moral dignity of this
mode of emigration surpasses that OF
any on record. Those who have gone
were applauded in public when setting
out, and the gentleman who provided
them with outfits would only take so per
cent. in payment. A quarter section is
donated to every white male citizen, and
also to those who have declared their In
tentions with a few conditions. [Agen-
tleman in the audience questioned wheth-
er such was the law, as he had only seen
it stated in Tho Ne10 YOok Herald, but
Mr.. Thayer said he had seen it in an au-
thentic quarter. If Northern blood be
shed in Kansas, it will spring up in
armed men who will annihilate their as
sailants. What the Company now wants
is a thousand leagues all over the coun-
try, of which many are already in pro-
gress, each of which is to have a master
of emigration, to devote himself exclr-
sively to the business. With him the
Aid Company corresponds. This diVis-
ion of the work is Indispensable the
Company have already hundreds of let
tiers which they cannot reply to. Rella-
BILE information can be found in a book
by Rev. E. e. Hale of Worcester
Those who go should take their bibles
and their rifles; not for aggression, but
prepared to stand on their rights. lap
