I've learn HUH = tsesSh sS>S5is ~ ~ -. s-tA
city By 4 gentleman whose brother is on
Z lecsuriag tour IN Ohio. that the people
Of that State are anxiously looking towards
Kansas, and msny are expecting to come
On early IN ths spring The letter is
|daled Akron, Ohio and Says" Last
night / lectured on Kansas at this place
| to 5 good house. aud the people manifest
/ ed considerable interest in the settlement
of your Territory. Thirty families are
making preparations to go on to Kansas
early in the spring, taking their.efeets
along with them They are mostly
farmers, and people of the right stamp
Such news is encouraging, and We
hope to see the people .foeking into the
Territory by thousands next season.
There is room enough and to spare; plen-
lty Of good soil. equal to any in the States ;
the climate is delightful, and everything
augurs well for the future prosperity of
Kansas. Farmers of Ohio, pack up and
move out here, bring your cast steel
plows along with you to break up the
prairies. which are all ready for cultva-
ton. It will not require years of labori-
GUS toll in order to clear up the land, by
removing stumps, &C., before you can
use the plow. The lands only want fenc-
ing. and the first season you can reap q
crop. The Usage orange win flourish
here, and thus you can have the best OF
hedge fences in taeo or three years. II
you want good furniture while here, you
had better bring it along with you.
What little there is in this neighborhood
sells at high price; but we learn that
some cabinet-makers are getting ready to
commence the manufacture of all kinds
of furniture at an early day If SO, it
viii perhaps be to the advantage OF emf
grants to bring but little with them, and
thereby save the expense of freight,
which is very high on the Missouri river.
All kinds of seeds had better be brought
ON, each one bringing sufficient guam
tity to supply himself, and lot for his
neighbors. The most useful article to
bring into this Territory at the present
time is money. Men with large capital
can find speedy way to make fortune.
Bring the real sinners, and none of the
bank notes, which are looked upon with
suspicion by the Indians and settlers.
We also learn that a delegation is COM
ing on from old Massachusetts, to assist
in building up State here in the Kansas
valley; and friend advises US to look
out for an avalanche of freemen from the
Green Mountain State. Another party
is coming from the Nutmeg State-all
coming on to settle in Kansas early in
the spring. The returns from New York,
Pennsylvania, and the more western
States, are of a most encouraging char
acter; and we expect to hear of a great
gain in those States, over all others, of
emigrants for the great Kansas Valley.
There is also a voice from away down
East. Maine is to be represented by a
large number of hardy, industrious yeo-
manry, who have determined to Join in
the tide of emigration which will set to-
wards Kansas in the spring and they
will come here, take up farms, cultivate
them, raise large families, and assist in
every possible way to make this not only
ickly-populated, but free State.
There is movement on foot, in the
neighboring State of Missouri, calculated
to counteract the tide from the East and
secure the Territory to the dominion OF
slavery. 1t is to send in large number
OF men who are pledged to vote forsIavery,
and get them to remain in the Territory
with their slaves; and when the election
comes on, to stand united as one man,
and vote forts being slaUe State. The
movement on the part of the Missourians
does not promise much in peopling the
Territory. One reason is the want of a
sufficient amount of money to pay the
expenses of bringing up the voters and
transporting them into Kansas, and anoth-
er is the want of men, who are ready and
willing to do such things as are expected
of them by Atchison and bis band ofreg-
ulators-as many of the emigrants from
the slaveholding States have expressed
themselves in favor of this being free
State. The prospect is that there viii
be more men here to vote for freedom
than for slavery, when the time comes
for that great question to be decided
But we hope no one viii remain at home,
thinking his influence is not wanted here
at the present crisis. Men are wanted
in Kansas--the more the better; and let
them all come with determination to
do what they can to establish freedom
here, and to make this free soil-free to
every person, of whatever color, cline, or
condition. If that is done, Kansas is
destined to surpass our highest concep-
ton Of national greatness and honor.

We are glad to learn that one of our
enterprising citizens, Mr.. MACK, has been
employing several men during the last
week, to cutice on the river and move it
into house provided for il in the city for
preservation. The ice IS six inches thick,
