Improvement.

On every hand is visible the spirit Of
improvement. Look in what direction
we may, frame is erected ready to re-
ceiye covering, and workmen are en-
gagged in completing them as rapidly as
lumber can be procured for that purpose.
Let not the reader suppose that the tene-
ments we allude to are gorgeous palaces,
such as greet his eye while journeying
along the Hudson, or Long Island Sound,
but structures of the rudest construction,
such as gree, and scanty material will
allow the pioneer to erect in haste, to
shield himself and family from the "cold
and piercing winds of March" Doctor
RoB1EsoN has erected, during the last
week, a very comfortable building on
Massachusetts, street, just below our of
fee, two-story frame edifce, twenty
five feet front by thirty-fye feet deep,
which he designs for an Office and dwell
ing. 1t is covered with green boards,
and, like our Office, viii be well yentilat-
ed in due time.
Preparations are being madeail around
US, as is evidenced by the large piles OF
sand hauled up from the river and dis
tributed over town, to erect permanent
structures of concrete, on the plan OF
FowLERs d Wells Home for All. .
Rev. g. w. HUrcHIasos is getting the
material for such an edifce on the ground,
and viii commence tho erection of the
walls, as soon as the weather is suitable,
of a building two stories high aud fifty
feet square, designed for division below
into stores, and above into commodious
halls for public purposes.
Messrs. HoRNsBYs d. FERRIL are erect
ing just south Of US, near Union Hall,
a one-story frame building, of res
peetable size, In which they viii place
their stock of merchandise, now awaiting
in Kansas city Its completion. Ere the
ides of November We hope to have occa-
sion to chronicle the completion of large
number of good frst-class structures,
which will do honor to Lawrence a year
hence, when, We trust, our population
viii be multiplied bya score, at least; and
all the facilities of supplying every neees-
sary want is increased in proportionate
ratio.

Parfiez Arriving

Parties are daily arriving in this city
from the East. filling our streets with
crowds hurrying to and fro, making OBJ
servations upon the beauty of onrlocation,
the fertility of the soil, and the thousand
and one remarks common to the tourist
in search ola new home. We welcome
them among US with great pleasure, and
regret that circumstances, over which
We have no control, have placed it out of
our power to extend to them all the cheer
and hospitality which our natures would
Otherwise prompt US to bestow. Most of
our people have thrown open their doors;
but persons accustomed to the wealth
and refinement of the East, find but poor
accommodations incur rude and truly un-
comfortable tenements. WehaYe enough
TO eat and drink-not Astor House fare,
howeyer-but We lack the conyenienees
for lodging the hundreds of newcomers
which are in the place and constantly
coming. Those who have Just come
among US. can form but ill conception,
from what they experience, of the dis
comforts experienced by the pioneers who
arrived here late last autumn, without
shelter of any kind, else in tents or kutsl
of ruder construction than any now visi-
ble, with the seventies of aprairie winter
before them.
We suggested in recent number of
the HERaLp that pioneers should remem-
Der to bring with them facilities for lodg
ing and keeping warm. We would repeat
this Injunction, and further suggest that
they bring an,oil-cloth or rubber outside
coat and pants with them, soas to be- pre-
pared for the rainy season, which may be
looked form due time. Suits of this kind
would be valuable protection against
the cold winds which we are now expert
eacing. We would say. in addition, that
tssoss who have supposed that winter
clothing would not be needed in this cli-
mate, and who have come unprepared to
battle Withold Boreas in bis widest form,
viii regret that they had not studied our
weather table to better purpose, or re-
membered our remarks about the sudden
changes n.our temperature.

LAWRENCE, March 25, 1856.
ED. HERALD. OF FREEDoM: DEAR SIN
In efery town and village of the East ne
find men who are wasiag their energies
and tleir iivesand never ge: tfas happi-
ness IN return for their efforts which il S
the object of alto secure. Young men
in poor health, lingering around tie dry
goods stores, shops, and counting rooms
Of the East, pale, inefficient, and useless
for all purposes of a manly and active
character, fit only to handle ribbons and
exchange tame nonsense in the parlors
with listless young ladies-there are
thousands of. sRch-men who are usurp-
ing wonan's sphere in the school-room,
store, or printing Office, who should be
here in this garden of the West, engaged
in pursuits adapted to manly stTengthand
character. There are no pale faces here,
as FAR as our observation extends, among
those who have been on the ground long
enough to test the claracteruf the climate.
Ali are robust and active, too stout TO be
ranked among the spiritless and insipid
members of white-gloved aristocracy
anywhere. but just of the right stamp to
be recognized as men anywhere. Those
who have the courage to brave pioneer
life, and the common sense not to expect
too much of a neWeountry, will not regret
leaving the crowded cities and over
stocked country at the East, for life Of
freedom and Independence here. We
speak of freedom as a peculiarly of this
part of Uncle Sans domain. Social
freedom Is characteristic of the West, and
there Is, we believe, much more of indi-
viduaIity and natural character in the
new than in the older States. In New
England, as in all old countries, where a
peculiar people have given character to
society, there is stiffness and stereo-
typed condition of thoughts and action
which is calling to an elastic nature 1t
is owing to this that there always have
been pioneers: always some Roger VII
Hams or Daniel Boone who could not en-
dure to be tanned and thralled by the
wishes of others, who have sought in
someremete solitude that perfectfreedom
which is SO delightful to the free-born
nature of true American. We do not
believe that there ever will be- time when
fashion and mere conyentionality will
have SO complete sway in the great West
as to lead men contrary to the dictates Of
sound judgment-when some popinjay
critic will be able to throw ridicule upon
statesmen and patriots, by showing tha
they have not conformed to some OLD
dandy's rule of etiquette. Away with
folly-let men think and act free as all
on these grand garden plainsof the mighty
West, controlled only by conscience,
which is the voice of God. You who
long for freedom, come to Kansas.

Steamers

To those who come by the riFer route
from Cincinnati To- this city, it is a
matter of much importance to receive
rooms IN good steamer. Some of those
who came By the frst boats this spring
were very much imposed upon. They
were more or less detained by ice. and
whenever the boat laid up were charged
per diem for board, which was of course
a most unwarrantable imposition. When
eyera captain contracts to take passen-
gers through to any point and receives
his money. he is bound to do it, whether
The voyage be of longer or shorter dura-
ton, unless the trip is abandoned entire
ly, in which ease he is obliged to refund
a proportionable part of the fare. We
heard OF one man with his family, who,
when the boat laid up, went on shore and
boarded at hotel rather than remain in
the boat He had paid his fare through
to ST. Louis When the boat resumed
her trip lie came on board, and extra fare
wasdemanded of him; lie refused TO pay,
and in consequence was, with all his fam
lily and baggage, put ashore. This out.
rage was characteristic of some captains
on the western rivers, though We are
glad to say, not of all. We would par
ticularly recommend for avoidance, the
Matte Wayne, COnnescago, and Fashion
Don't go on to these boats, if you wish
to avoid insult and outrage. You can
generally determine the character of the
boat by the clerk; but don't fail to observe
whether both captain and clerk put on
their smiles and pohteness merely as q
decoy, or are each of them real gentle,
men. It's very aggravating thing tc
be smiled into an engagement which in
wolves one or,two weeks happiness. and
find, too late, the smiling fellow who frs
met you and expressed himself SO much
interested in your eomfortand well-being,
turned into clustering. eursing, drunk
en- bully, as has been the sad experience
of very many. Scrutinize your men,
and be on the lookout.

Union Hall, on Tuesday morning of this

with boarders. He hopes. however, to

STEAMER KATE SwIESEY,



March II, 1861
WHEREAS, We have found the Kate
Swinney superior boat, with excellent
accommodations. and her table equal to
those of frst-class hotels in Boston or
New York. Her officers are not only

sition to make themselves agreeable
therefore,
Resolred, That we tender to Captain
CHoUTEAu and his officers our heartfelt
Acknowledgements for the uniform kind
ness and consideration we have received
during onr very pleasant passage up the
Missouri.

New England friends and others the Kate
Swinney as a boat every way worthy of
their patronage, and well calculated to
make their voyage from ST. Louis to
Kansas city not only a safe, but happy
one.
ResolUed, That ne return our sincere
thanks to Lieut.. B. Ii. RoBERTsos, u. s.
army, for his kind and gentlemanly de-
pertinent, and also TO the non commits
stoned staff and band of the Cd Dra-
goons for their kindness and fine musical
entertainment furnished for our amuse-
ment, while on our trip on the steamer
Kate Swinney up the Missouri river.

banity of our conductor, Mr.. LUXE P.

piaoulties compromiged.

The unpleasantness which has brooded
over this city for months like an incubus,
and weighed down its energies, growing
out of conflicting land claims. is said to
be compromised to the satisfaction Of all
parties We are heartily glad to chron-
icle this intelligence, as we are confident
it will be instrumental in inducing thou
sands to locate here, and in the vicinity,
who, under other circumstances, would
have sought locations where no question
existed involving controversy as to the
right of the soil. Capitalists can now
come here with safety and invest their
means to any extent, without apprehen-
sions of ultimately finding their posses
sions awarded to another without any
compensation in return.

More Subscribers.

Since our last issue we have had the
pleasure of adding over two hundred
new subscriptions to our books, mostly

ter and Boston appear to be vieing with
each other to see which shall give us the
largest number of patrons. Our ener-
getic agent at Cambridge, STEPHEN BA-

energy in soliciting subscriptions, and
for his promptness in making remittanees
to our General Agent, Mr.. BILLINes. of

new party organized in the vicinity of
Fort Leavenworth. They have publish

form, signed by seventeen of their eiti-
zens, which we insert below:
WHEREAS, Our principles as a party,
aad our motives rs men, have been gross
| ly misrepresented and illuminated; and
that we may occupy our true position in
the. estimation of our fellow citizens and
of the world. the undersigned declare
that the following are the purposes aad
principles of the Free White State Party
of Kansas Territory:
/. That we cordially approve and
heartily indorse the Kansas-Nebraska
bill, and recognize It's principles as the
only correct basis of congressional legis-
lation for Territories.
9. That in the exercise of the right of
the peopleof Territory to govern them
selves sanctioned In said bill, we will re-
-quire Of our Legislators the enactment of
laws for the exclusion of free negroes
from Kansas, to prevent the emancipa-
ton within the same of any slave that.
may be held or introduced here, and COM
pei owners to Withdraw the same FROM
Kansas, in the event of the prohibition
of slavery here.
8. That it is our well-matured con-
viction, founded in reason aud expert
ence, that @ total exclusion of the Afri-
can race, whether bond or free, viii pro-
mote the best interests of Kansas by
enhancing the value Of its lands, stimu-
lating public works, producing speedy
and dense settlement of the country. and
building up a sastem Of schools free to
the children of the poor as well as the
rich.
4. That we viii In all cases use out ut
most exertions to carry out the fugitive
slave law in its spirit and to the letter;
that we win respect and defend the right
of the owner to his slave he'd in Kansas
until the rightof holding slaves shall be
decided by the people thereof; and that.
in the event of decision against our
preference, we viii cordially and cheer
fully acquiesce.

The Slavery Issue in the territories.

John II. Bolts, OF Richmond, Virginia,
the renowned Wing politician, writing to
the Newark Know Nothing, says:
Everybody knows slavery is local
institution. requiring local laws for its
protection; and if southern man carries
bis slave into the Territory, and requires
his services, or claims the right TO pun
ish him for disobedience, he must do it
under the authority of law. Now, there
can be but two sources from which such
authority can emanate. One is the gem
eral government. and the other is the ter
ritoriaI government. The South itself
has declared that the general government
can pass no such law, because that would
be Intervention with the rights of the
people of the Territory; and IN the same
breath they have said that the people can
legislate upon no such subject. because
that would be ssquatter soTereignty.'-
There are some few. / know, who rely
upon the constitution for It's protection,
(which was one Of Calhoun's faIlacies
but I think when they look for it IN the
constitution they will hardly find It; and
if they do, they viii find that the same
clause in the constitution which protects
that species OF property in the Terrific
ries, win also protect It in the States, as
/ ana not aware that the constitution has
a less binding force In the Ststes than in
the Territories. skass =
