This has been memorable day in the annals
of High Henry. With the day has closed one of
the largest mass meetings convened to consult
upon the condition of our beloved country, ever
held in Henry county, The friends of free
speech and free press in Kansas take courage
and are inspired with new zeal in the glorious
cause Of freedom. The people are, all alive on
the subject, they think, speak and act like Elea
in earnest. The meeting was called up on short
notice and our citizens in town had no reason to
expect large gathering of the people, what was
our joy and astonishment to greet men from all
parts of the county. The farmers left their
ploughs, the mechanics their work shops, and
men of all classes and all parties met together
to renew their devotion to the true interests Of
our common country. Speeches were made by
Messrs S. Mcfarland, L. G. Palmer, Capt. Hor-
ton, j. Howard, S. L. Howe, James Marsh and
others. Resolutions we're adopted and also a
Memorial to Congress which will be extensively
circulated for signatures in this county. If the
feeling manifested here to-day is an index Of
what it is in other places let the Republicans of
Iowa take courage york on, and all win be well.
KANSAS SHALL BE FREE. tse ess

Convention, where you will hear from me agcin.

ANOTHER CHURCH.--The Second Presbyterian

They have purchased a lot ON Third street, be-
tween Columbia and Court, and purpose erect
ing fine churchto cost, according to the esti-
mates, from 81, 900 to $4,000. The plan and
drawings which we have examined are by Mr.
Winters. The structure is to be Gothic, Of
brick, substantially built, and will be an orna-
ment to the city. The Church and Congrega-
ton are small. Other Churches already provi-
ded with good houses of worship, will Of course
extend liberal helping hand. And our busi-
ness men and citizens generally, who take a nat
ural and commendable interest in the growth,
prosperity and good name of our town, should
contribute liberally, as they have heretofore done
on all proper occasions.
The fine church edifces which adorn apd
give beauty and character to our city, are one
of its best features. They speak well for US as
young and growing community. They show
that we do not sink everything in the scramble
for wealth-that schemes of ofspeculation DO not
wholly occupy the public mind. aas raa1l
