Stare State:--Soi and Climate
The excitement along this frontier be subsd
ing. The Mssourians laugh heartily the notorety
that they have acquired in connection with the late Kan
election. They admit that many who have their
residences in Missouri went into the Territory and voted
because they had staked of their claims there
meneed improvements and intend possible to
take their families there. At present man who
CARDS tho comfort Of his wife settle in the Territory
buildings must be erected and at least raised in
advance Of the removal Of the family, unless the emil
grant be of the hardy Glass; accustomed to living in
tents or wagons, and ranging through the woods.
Philosopher Greeley and the abolitionsts generally
have overdone their work. The organization OF the
Eastern Emigrapt Aid Societies only served
Southern to action. Southern men possessed
greater facilities for occupying the Territory than the
Eastern emisrants, and the result 10 that the des
tiny Of Kansas 10 settled The Territory must and

is the opinion have forned from frequent CON.
