The Kansas herald of freedom., 1855-05-12

The unmitigated villains who have
just oyerrun Kansas, aim TO gain the
support of the more moderate and sensi-
bic men of the South, by laying before
them calculations showing that slavery
there must be profitable. These calcu-
lations are not, however, of character
to very speedily captiyate men who are
looking merely to their private interests,
or likely to induce any very sudden rush,
or indeed any rush at all, into that Ter
ritory, By the shareholders with their
chattels. The calculations are that slaves
can be made very productive in raising
hemp, wheat, corn, oats and tobacco
Now in ordinary times the raising of
these commodities, in the latitude of
Kansas, is starving business for the
masters. The estimated profits in the
raising of these articles are based upon
the fictitious price which hemp has borne
under the recent unparalleled stimulation
of the shipping interest, and upon the
past and present famine prices of bread
stuffs. All of these prices must sooner
or later recede, and be followed, through
an inevitable law, by a corresponding
depression below the average rate. The
slave States which are confined to raising
these articles drag along torpid exist
ence only through the prosperity of the
slave-trade. The business OF slave
breeding alone saves them. But a new
State cannot be a slave-breeding State.
A virgin country revolts, through an in
stinctiYe rigor of nature, against all at
tempts to devote it to such loathsome
uses. The Infamous occupation of breed
ing men and women for sale, fourishes
only in the feculent muck accumulated
from the corruptions of whole genera
tions of squalid seryitude and incompe-
tentand slothful cupidity.--N Y. Tribune.
Interesting Report.
The Newburyport, Mass, Herald, has
the following very interesting information:
"Fiye of our Kansas Emigrants arri-
we'd home on Wednesday, with sorry ae-
counts of the country and the condition
of the settlers. From what they say,
there is no danger that Kansas will be-
come free or slave State, till all the rest
of the earth is over peopled, for nobody
that has strength to walk or money to pay
for conveyance, will stop there long. The
earth, they report, is actually parched
and baked to the solidity of brick, by
the long drouth, so that it cannot be
plowed, and 10 vegeta ion appears for
cattle, and no water but OH the rivers
These emigrants are reliable men, but
others equally reliable give directly con-
trary statements, and say that it is the
garden of the world"
We would simply hint to the Herald
that those FIVE gentlemen of vcracity were
actually homesick while here, and they
could not see the beauty of the country.
The earth is indeed parched up with
drouth, SO was New England last Summer,
but that is no reason that it is always to
be so.
AS we have said on former occasions,
this has been an unusual season. The
long protracted dry weather, and the
winds of April, with the excessive dust
are uncommon to this climate. They are
incidents of all countries at some period
in their history, and it only happens un-
fortunately that it has come upon us du-
ring the first year of our settlement
We still look for rains, and bounteous
yield of the productions of the earth.
