declaring that they had left Lowell on very
short notice, and that it was quite necessary
for them to send back directions about their
business matters. Paige was willing 10
accommodate, and stopped. Ere long,
however, certain suspicious circumstances
led him TO consult New Hampshire
lawyer, to know what mischief cOndd be
brewed, provided any body should try and
he Termed just this: that If a Sheriff. Of Yer.

in such case. Warned by this law, Ptigo

KanZas.

The New England character has been
grossly 81 indcrcd by Senator Atkinson Of
Missouri, and by others on the door of Con-
crcss, in their attacks on the Emigrsnt A id
Society. The Boston .ldrcriiser replns to
these attacks IN the following well stated
facts -
q" he Now England emigration has been
one the most highly cultivated and intel-
igen' bodies which ever moved from New
England When the Rev Mr.. Lum organ
lied a church IN Llwronce City, Kanzls, he
found larger proportion Of men and women
who had been church members at home than
he would have found in any similar number,
chosen at hazard ia the eastern states And
when the Kan2as hthenmum was organized,
in the same city, it proved that in that small
population which threw vote Of about 800,
more than one voter in ten was man OF
cole gate education.
To rescue the character Of such men from
the SANDER we speak Of we say here, and
shs say TIL the assertion dcs, that there is
no northern company which has paid any
mans passage to kanzis. The omgrants
have IN every instance found means 10 pay
for their own tickets. The Emlarant AID
company, in particular, has had enough else
TO do with It's funds And ia the army of
10000 Americans every year moving into
frontier states there are quite enough ready
to 60 into the most beautiful valley open to
settlement IN the world, to save the necessity
of brIblng any.
The business Of the Emigrat Aid company
is not to hire mcn to 90, but to give to set
tiers who are gnihg the inducements which
capital well invested in kanzas will give. to
lead teen to settle there. Thus it h1s foun.
