Prospects OF the Future.

tally to recover fIom their surprise and.
confusion worse confounded," itnay not be
arniss to essay few reflections upon the
bearing its result will have upon the future
destiny of Kansas.
We have achieved a glorious victory
we have, for time, ended contest on
which the entire South has looked with ca
ger interest, and in which all their sympa-
thies were enlisted. But, for all this, we
are by no means in condition to remain
idle. We have still labor before US.
Abolitionism may be stunned for the mo-
ment, but it will soon regain all its energy
and vigilance, and struggle for supremacy,
until the last link is broken that binds them
in our midst-and this will not be severed
until Kansas has been admitted into the
Union as slave State. But if we should
succeed in expelling Abolitionists from the
Territory the war viii still be continued,
in various ways, by these tenacious fanat-
les. They have not entered the arena to
be driven forth by single defeat, howey-
er signal it may be. 1t is a war Of num-
bers--a strife for actual possession. 1t be-
hooyes the South, then, TO be yigilant. It
is necessary that tie present pro-slayery
population be steadily increased by access
ions from Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee,
and other Southern States. Missouri and
Arkansas are fast peopling the Territory;
but the uncertainty attending the recent
election abroad, has restricted emigration
from more distant States. But this barrier
is now removed and the coming fall will
see strong tide of emigration setting III
from the South. In'addition to this, there
will be many good citizen settle among
us, from Illinois, Indian, and Ohio, whose
notions Of slavery are parallel with our own.
Emigrants, even from Missouri, have been
deferred from moving their slaves and 9TH
er property into the Territory through a
desire to see the question of slavery settled
beyond a doubt; bat this obstacle being
removed, the influx of emigration has been
quickened. Still, owing to the season be-
ing so far advanced, many will not take
up their "pegs" until fall, when we may
look for heavy emigration Of the fright

There is an ample field in Kansas for
the operations of citizens of every grade,
but more especially for the mechanical and
farming communities. In fact, our pro-
gfess is now much retarded through the
scarcity of labor, and the probability is
that this void viii remain untitled for some
time to come, as the increase IN the de-
mand for labor will be equivalent to, if it
does not exceed, the ratio OF the supply. For
mechanics Of every class, there is, and
will continue to he, ample employment
at richly remaneratife prices Men who
come here to york, will soon reap al ahun-
dant harvest.
To the farming community, however, we
must look for the handspring Of our pros
perity, and, from present indications, We

sents so many inducements for the indus
tricus farmer. No means are requisite.

Il is only necessary for the advantages
Kansas possesses to be thoroughly under
