sas which is being diverted from their State
in consequence Of the brutal treatment O
the settlers from the free States The
Democrat, of June 18th, says:
We have lately convcrsed with a gentle
man fIom the East, who speaks with au
thority, who snys that since the recent
troubles in Kansas, along the Missouri
border, and the bitter hostility manifested
towards Eastern emigrants, arrangements
have been made by which the tide of sett.
lers from the New England States, New
York and Pennsylvania will hereafter pass
through southern Iowa, and enter the ter
ritery in that direction.
This will be very serious loss to our
merchants, manufacturers, steamboatmep,
and our people living along the Missouri
river. The profits arising from the cmi-
grant trade have been immense to our city,
and the policy Of one portion of Missouri
ans, who have thus driven thousands Of
dollars from our doors, has been one of the
most hurtful We can conceive of. The mo-
ney which has been borne to our doors up
on this tide Of emigration will now De d.
verted to enrich the northwest, and its cit
les Of Chicago and Burlington.
We have always felt secure against the
rivalry Of our northern neighborS as long
as ports were open and our rivers free to
the thousands of the human family who
yearly seek the regions Of the West, but
we confess now, since our State has been
so falsely represented and scandalized by
AtchisUn add his rutfian gang, that there
is danger in store for us. Settlers will
avoid the Missouri river when its banks
hold OF men who are sworn foes to emisra-
tion. They will avoid our city where some
of our journals anu portion Of our iubab-
itants sympathize with and encourage
these lawless hordes, and it becomes our
merchants, our steam mboatmen and the eu-
terprising Of our whole State, who can
truly appreciate the value of Kansas trade
and Kansas emigration, and to whom its
loss will be incalculable, to look about. law
the blame upon proper persons, and strive,
by every means in their power, to rid
themselves of such deadly foes to their best
interests, and the escutcheon Of tho State
Of such disgrace. As long as Atcbison
and his followers hold places of public
trust or powe-, and wicld their destructive
influences to betray the Union, breed civil
discord, and offer insult and opposition to
emigration through our State, so long will
We suffer, not only the modification of a
bad name, but such losses in all the de-
partments of trade that Layo build US up

our progress in the most serious manner
VINO WANTS Work ?-The farmers
out West are complaining bitterly Of the
lack Of laborcrs to do harvesting work
A letter from Eaton (Ohio) dated 18th,
says: "Scveral thousand able bodied men
are needed here. They would receive SI2
to SIS month and found Several hum
drcd could find employment in this section
from now until fail, and receive good wa
ges, and be otherwise well cared for"
The Norfolk (va.) Beacon says, that
great numbers Of slaves are escaping to
the North, in consequence of the facility
with which they can be secreted on north
ern bound SHIPS, and recommends captains
to food their vessels with gas from ga ma
chine somewhat on the principle of Phil
lips's Fire Annihilator," when they leave
Southern ports. "After being fumigated,
let them proceed to sea-"
FOREIGNERS ARMING TO RESIST LAW
The Herald says in one of the French
papers Of that city, there is a call for a
meeting at the red Republican rendezvous
in Leonard street, which is part of move
ment gotten up by various foreign societies,
to resist by an armed force-a "Foreign
Brigade attempt to execute the
Prohibitcry Liquor Law, which goes into
effect on next Tuesday evening week.
We have already stated that the Germans
are organized and drilled for the same
purpose, but hope they will take the ad-
vice of the Herald: "Let the Probibitory
law alone. You will only hurt your own
cause BY being to hasty in its defence. A
foreign armed mob in the streets of New
York would be shot down like dogs in
very short space Ot time, ,and at exceeding
ly short notice. Let the French and Ger
mans remember this" "-Pailad. San.
