Rev. Mr.. ARMSTRONG, of the Congre-
gational denomination, now residing in
st. Louis, informs us that he has organ
lied nine Union Sabbath Schools in Kan
sas Territory; one at Kickapoo. also one
at Leavenworth, at Grasshopper Falls,
Pleasant Hill, Indianola, Mt. Zion 12
miles north of the latter place; Pawnee,
Big Blue-two others had beenpreyious-

Big Springs. He states that he found
schools organized atLawrence atBloom-

the Wakarusa; at Mr.. Lyons, four miles
west of Lawrence: and at Topeka. Mr..

Which is Right2

s Says the jefferson City Examiner
1--WE are afraid that the Missouri Re-
publican errs in stating that Col. Doni-
phan did not participate in the late "au-
dacious inroad'' on Kansas. We have
given him credit for stimulating Missou-
ri emigration, and with having gone into
the Territory to see that the pro-slayery
party had that fairness which Gov. Reed
er and the Aid Societies endeavored to
deny them; and we shall continue to ac-
cord him all due credit, inasmuch as We
are assured on the best authority that
he was in Kansas ON the day of election -
1t was currently reported, and is gen
orally believed by our people, that Col.
DoNIPHAN was IN attendance at the polls
in this city on the 3oth of March last
He came with the noise and hustle from
Missouri and returned with them, and

Kansas Must be Free.

It's a fact, which no man dare gain
say who has been over the Territory, that
the result Of the late elections in Kansas
has not inspired the Shareholders with
any faith in the ultimate establishment of
slavery among US. II it has given them
grounds for hope, why do they not move
in with their slaves, and "take possess
ion of the goodiy inheritance 2" It has
been our fortune. during the past two
weeks to converse with quite number of
pioneers from Missouri, who have loea-
ted on claims few miles out from Law
renee. In every instance, thus far, we
have found them in favor of making
Kansas free State. Gentlemen who
have travelled over the Territory, and
who have the means of knowing, say
that many shareholders who had come in
with their slaves, find themselves COM
pletely surrounded with freemen, and
they almost invariably gather up their
"piunder" and go back to Missouri, Civ
ing terrible report of the abolition
lists" term which has become so hor-
rible in their estimation, as to induce
them to use it, with whichto frighten
fools and children. So confident are we
of the result we would willingly submit
a Constitution to the actual residents of
the Territory, and unless two-thirds of
the voters were in favor of freedom We
would give Kansas up to slavery. Mis-
souriaRs knew this would be the result as
well as we do, and it was for this reason
they imported their invading army to
take possession of the ballot-box, in March
last. The census reports showed less
than three thousand voters in the Terri
tory, and to match this from four to six
thousand non-residents were called into
requisition.
The Leayenworth District is thestrong-
est pro-slavery portion of Kansas. and
yet We have the positive assurance of
friends who reside there that large ma
iority of the real population viii vote for
making Kansas free State. @
1t is the policy of the press and the
people to avoid all side issues. The
pro-slayery press complain of this. and
say that "Abelitionists. Freesoilers. nor
thern Wings and Democrats, and those
who are in favor of excluding free ne
groes from the Territory, all labor side
and side" and from this they infer that
all are Abolitionists.
They forget that by pursuing the
course they are doing. they are exerting
a powerful influence towards abolition
izing the entire population. If we are
to bear the stigma which they heap upon
the name. it is possible We may want to
go little further.

American Currency.

We are rather pleased to observe that
our business men in this Territory have
taken the initiative towards expelling the
fractional parts of the old Spanish coin
from among us. Everything at the
stores is counted in American currency,
three, Eve, ten, fifteen. twenty cents,
DC. Instead of 81 cents, we have 50
or 20 cents. as the case may be. Copper
coin is extremely scarce, and scarcely
nsed. In Missouri Spanish quarters viii
pass for but 90 cents. and leI cent pie
ces for 10 cents. Three centpiecesthere
are worth Eve. cents, as they have no
smaller change than fye cents.

Not All Bad.

We are conscious that our expressions
are sometimes susceptible of misconstrue-
ton, and possibly may often be in ourgen-

speaking Of our border difficulties. We
wish it distinctly understood that when
We speak of our neighbors on the other
side of our Territorial unexpectedly

sition-we do not desire to class the en-
tire population of that State. On the
contrary, we find the great mass of the
population there reasonable persons, and
believe they deprecate, as much as We do,
she course their neighbors have pursued.
Wehave talked with very many residents
of Missouri, and save the rowdies who
were here on the 3oth of March, we have
found them intelligent, and the last men
in the world who would descend so low
as to attempt to enslave the people Of an
other State or Territory. The educated
Missourian, like southern gentlemen
generally, is tenacious of his honor.
and viii go to any extent to vindicate
it. We regret to say, however. that
Missouri is cursed, as all new countries
are. with class of bar-room politici-
ans, whose principal virtue in their own
estimation, consists in the amount of al
ooholic poison they can consume in a
given period. Their dupes are the most
dsprayed wretches under heaven. They
will descend to any low pursuit to secure
their accustomed glass, and when under
the influence of their drunken rotations
no act is too desperate for them to under
take. provided their own persons are moi
exposed to harm. In consequence of
their degradation they have brought up
on the whole people of Missouri the ap-

Wen TO Observe.

Persons having property to sell fire.
queHtiy call on us and state the fact, and
desire if We hear any one inquiring for
such properly. to send the applicant to
our informant; that they win sell on fair
terms, dc. We beg all such persons to
bear in mind that we are not keeping an
Intelligence Office, and hence we do not
wish to tax our memory with such mat
ters. And then, we have an advertising
medium to which all have access, and If
they do not feel that they can afford the
expense of advertising, we hope they
viii not be so silly as to suppose We will
do it gratis.
So Tar as editorial notices are concern
ed, it is about time that it was under
stood that publishers expect pay for
such, as much as for advertising, only a
little more SO. We can't get the most
ordinary notice put in type without pay
ing for hbor. Obituary notices We are
willing.to insert gratis, provided no adj
ditional remarks, save the simple an
nouneement of the death accompany
the notice but. when an eulogy is pro-
nounced on the deceased's character, we
expect compensation according to our
advertising rates, and zee sctH not IN any
instance in the future insert such eulo-
gies without payment in advance as fos
advertisements. Friends of deceased
persons are expected to prepare notices,
and hand them to the editor. Unless
they take that amount of interest III the
publication of such matters, they must
not censure any one if such notices are
not published.
tits becoming very general practice
among newspaper publishers in the east,
to expect fee of one dollar for insert
ing marriage notices. The rule is a
good one, and we are ready to make an
agreement with our contemporaries in
Kansas, to publish no hymenial notice
without the advance payment of such
fee, and never to solicit notice, or copy
one from another sheet without the dol
lar is first paid.

Kansas and Western Missouri.

Says the Jefferson Enquirer of the
9th, 1--WE are pleased to learn that mat
ters have become quiet in Kansas, and
every thing seems to be moving along
peaceably and quietly. On our western
border, order seems to be restored, and
mob law quite at an end. We doubt not
but many who were led on few weeks
since by a few reckless persons, to aid in
doing violence to quiet and good citizens,
now sorely regret their conduct. Mis-
souri, Democrat.
We apprehend that the present appa-
rent tranquility is like the repose of ma
ture which precedes the rising Storm
While all is hushed and silent in the ma
terial world, suddenly tornado breaks
upon the vale and prostrates all within
its reach. Forest trees aud the proudest
works of art are alike laid in ruins, and
devastation isyisible on every hand. The
mariner learns to deprecate the calm as
the almost sure precursor of an impend-
ing gale, and prepares himself for the
fearfulcontingency. Should the people
of Kansas, or their friends throughout
the Union, take the present momentary
quiet as indications that the turbulent
spirit of their Missouri neighbors has
abated or as the mutterings of distant
thunder which betbkens fearful display

the ground that the American Constitu-
ton is an anti-slavery document, and
where its principles are construed IN ia
vor of the greatest freedom, as should be
the case with all laws, whether funda-
mental or otherwise, we believe it viii
|en1ancipate every slave over which the
Federal courts have exclusive jurisdie-
zion.
The Liberator was the first to give
Kansas up to slavery. The editor can
continue in Boston and throw obstacles
in the way of its becoming free State,
but can do nothing towards aiding in
making it such. The few persons of that
school of politics, like the dog in the
rnanger, does nothing and labors hard to
prevent others from doing anything. The
ballot-box, the trueexponento fthe popular
will when not enslaved, is closed against
Garrisonians. 1t matters not whether
Missourians come in mobs of thousands,
or whether it is left to the actual settlers,
they aeuer cote. and yet they are almost
wild because others do not vote to please
them.
The settlers in Kansas are practical
men. Missourians may have taken them
for non resistants and have expected them
to fold their arms while the halter is APP
Piled about their neeks. There may be
some OF this school-ofmen among us, but
the day win come. when proof, occular
proof will be furnished that we are not
all of that stamp.
The Llberator is at liberty to class US
with any journal it pleases, but 1t cannot
alter our position, until it shall convince
our Judgment. If the HERALD OF FREE
DOM is not worthy the patronage of its
readers then it should not be sustained,
and we hope it will not be. If, on the
other hand its positions are deemed cor
rect, and lift is an auxiliary in the cause
of freedom, we hope its friends will come
to its aid.
4 For US we have but little choice. There
are other fields of enterprise open to our
isand which will pay us remunerating
wages, occupations. too, in which we
would not be called upon to sacrifice
thousands of dollars and be constantly
Icensured because we don't sacrifice more.
and at the same time serve as the target
for every ill-natured fellow who desires
to discharge his pop-gun in our direc-
ton.
We have thought for years that VIM.
LLOYD GARRISON was retarding the cause
OF freedom in America. We deplored
this condition of things, but we coneeiy-
ed he was honest and pursuing a mista-
ken policy. Though we have been con-
nected for years with the anti-slavery
press, yet never before have we even ex-
pressed oursclf so far as to our opinion,
feeling that he was doing some good in
arousing the public mind to the evils of
slavery. He has differed from us all
this time as widely as We have differed
from him, and We had as good rightto
assail him and endeavor to weaken his
influence. But, as we have already said,
we have not, and shall not do it. Let him
pursue the course he deems best to Grip
pie the enemy, and We shall do the same.
Because he can fire a cannon, it is no
reason we should not use our small arms.
Besides we have been instructed that IN
close service the musket and bayonet are
the most effective instruments which can
be brought into requisition.
