public prints of your State in regard to their plan and
purposes.
spousibe and peiced persons whose characters had
weight did not think them worthy of reply from US
But when we find them repeated and endorsed by men OF
influence in your community we feel that IL - due 10
ourselves and to the character Of the emgrans VINO have
gone Kansas under auspices, to state the truth
In the published resolutions OF the convention lately
held in Lexington Missouri find missatements in re-
gard to enterprise which desire TO correct THIS
company is the only incorporated association known 10
us in the United States which has for its object both
sistance and organization for western emigration We
must therefore, infer that referred to in the resolG
tons which aude to moneyed associations under the pat
ronege of sovereign States Of this Union"
| The resolutions charge this company, then
/. With recruiting armies and hiring fanatics to go to
Kansas.
q With fanatica aggression Missouri, with the in
of putting the torch to the dwellings and the knife
/ 10 the throats of its people,
3. With sending persons to Kansas who do not intend
remain there but who go only TO Interfere with ana
control the actual settlers
1t is easy for to show the entire alsehood OF every
one of these charges
les go to Kansas is very simple We bave
hired to go there, paid the passage OF u
single emigran Every settler who has gone out under
auspices has himself provided the for his pas
It's possible that you in Missouri may not have before
observed how large is the regular emigration from New
England the States Of the West Every year the
and daughters of northern States in numbers to be
by of thousands choose to enrae to those
Hhired They go with their own means, and make their
own selection Of II new home.
The favorable which reached of the soil and
climate OF Kansas and the advantages which 1t offers to
the settler turned the attention Of thousands of such emil
grants that Territory They resolved to 60 there and
were eager to obtain every information to the best
Of going and forming permanent settlements in that
country.
The fact that such persons willing to go rendered
it possible to form this company whose object s to ac-
their organization render their journey easy and safe
and aid them with its capital when there by the erection
Of mills and hotels and by the promotion of such other
enterprises found conducive to the common good
We do not hire them No company on earth could bire
them 1t would be proper say that the existence
OF such men, aud their resolution and Intention to 60 TO
Kansas, created and sustain this company.
To speak Of such as "paupers mereeneries, and
"hred adventurers," simply absurd. They are Amer-
can citizens who have the enthusiasm which all their
countrymen have for coonzng regions and bringing
them under the sway OF mar.
They carry with them their educaton their skill, their
money They erecting in Kansas their steam engines
their machine shops their factories of wood paper iron
and all things useful TO They have gone there be-
cause they had right hefe-bocauso they chose to go
because they had the TO oand because they be-
eved that in doing they could better their condition.
and perhaps do good service to God and man.
That they might go conveniently and cheaply this
pany has been organized 1t of the of New
England for organize themselves work in coop
Grafton for any object which they achieve thus better
than separate individuals This is of nststa-
tons to which attached AID to which much
of our prosperity.
g. The resolutions of the convention charge with af
natica aggression Missouri VIZ have looked in vain
for the first detailed specification by which this charge
be supported 1t is earnes, wish that the emigrants
who go unuer auspices should maintain the Andest
aud most friendly relations with all whom they
their way, whether in Missouri any other State We
have every believe that they have done So and
until some distinct of fnae aggression is made
and sustained by the citizens OF those towns where
these emigrants meet your people, must entirely deny
the truth OF the charge.
BY the accidental conditions travel the present
happens that many Of the northern emgrants pass up the
Missouri
hea grievance To you il s the less inconvenience
to them 1t tengthens their journey to Kansas than
four hundred miles. We venture say, however, that
they have SO borne this inconvenience to give
ground of complaint to those with whom they have
had dealings in your State So soon as the rapid advance
of the railroads in Iowa permits they will be able shorten
their journey materially and you may then be relieved
from their presence Till then it will be convenient for
them take steamboats, the river provide
themselves with supplies from your merchants
1t is onr belief, however, Notwithstanding the msrepre-
sentatons OF interested parties that the citizens Of
Missouri do not feel this passage of emgrants from other
States along their magnificent river any grievance all
We believe In the brotherhood of all the States in this
Union, and in the hospitality OF the people of Missouri
We confident they will cordially welcome travellers
from New England citizens of the great country
and will bid them God-speed on their way.
The remaining charge against us is that OF sending
persons to Kansas for political objects who not bona m
settlers.
The entire injustice of this charge will be evident froma
simple statement of what have doing for
emgrants IN Kansas The whole action Of company IL
based upon the presumption that they to be and remain
there actual settlers.
Our first object is to aid emigranis their journey
This do not by paying for their passage, but by pur-
chasing tickets at wholesale aud furnishing them ind
yduals at the actual cost by combining parties
that friends and neighbors travel together by APP
pointing for each party conductor acquainted with the
ronte and by making it for the interest Of rival railroads
to carry them comfortably safely ana cheaply We tlus
reduce for The settler the OF LIS Journey guard him
against frauds and bring him 10 Kansas with The utmost
expedition.
On his arrival in new country the chief difficulty of
settler is in the want OF capital This particularly
felt in Kansas. One of the resolutions of the Lexington
convention expresses regret that the settlement OF Kansas
not left TO lonely pioneers like those who settled Ohio
and Indiana We refer you 10 the letter of General b.
Strngieliow 10 Messrs Ciingmsn Brooks Others for
the opinion on this point OF who knows that country.
Gen Stringeiow assures those gentlemen that such
settlement IS mpossibe that such pioneers have hh-
erto eyeed the forests and broken the "pains of the
West cannot do the work in Kansas. His letter
shows that such aborers need the Of capital and
that capital may well be embarked assisting them TO
the mutual benefit of all concerned.
So soon as IT was evident that the westward engrauts
from New England intended ia large numbers TO
Kansas IL became clear that their urgent need
would be for those improvements which capital that
only supply They have first Of ALL comfortable
houses, school houses and churches To supply sawed
lumber for these they must have saw-nils They must
also have boes bridges, grstmIIs and other convent
