Sensible.

A recent meeting was held at Gener-
vile. Hiss, which was an attempt to
out-Herod Herod, in its fanatical defence
of the fire. eaters of the South. The last
resolution meets our hearty concurrence,
and if it could be carried out to the let.
ter, would be an act of justice to the set
tiers in Kansas. Where the word "peo-
pie" occurs, the fire-eaters, no doubt, de-
signed to use Missouri:
"Resclred, That in the opinion of this
meeting, the Legislature of Mississippi
should place twenty y-6ve thousand dol
lars. subject to the order of the Govern
er of this State, to be employed when
deemed expedient, in aid of the PEOPLE
of Kansas, in defense of their legal and
constitutional rights"

WESTON, No., Feb. Goth 1856.
CIV. EsKRIDGE, Esa.-DEAR SIR:-
A few days since. in glaneing over the
Herald of Freedom, | observed your
name prefxed to communication, ask
ing of Congress the admission of Kansas
into the Union as FREE STATE. Judge
my surprise, " Fun" to find you 6gur-
ing so extensively in the destiny of Kan
sas; moreover, from the fact that in "by-
gone-days" have looked upon you as
being a son of the Sucker State, who
would not desert her even in the hour of
peril, and moreover, that you had sufi-
cient magnanimity to ever stand loyal to
the Union of the States. Many are of
the opinion that those who hail from the
North act with the Free State Party
There are exceptions to all general rules;
but know of 100 many instances where
people north of Mason q Dixon's line are
too sound upon the Slavery Question to
ever cherish such an idea. can hardly
believe that you act with the Abolition
party of Kansas but such infer from the
Herald of Freedom, which alone should
be enough to convince the most fastidi-
Gus. | am. indeed, sorry that you have
fallen among a set of negro-steaters and
disunionists, whose invidious designs are
calculated to put you on an equal with
the highwayman OF. traitor of our coun-
try. / trust, however, you will soon see
the error of your course, and make an
honorable retreat from the Hell-ho1e of
Lawrence, and embrace principles favor
able to the Constitution of the American
Union.
In honor to your early connection with
the Press, l preserved, in 40, a copy OF
the Dew Drop, then under your super
vision, which l have now in possession,
and which l now have no further use
for, and consequently will kindle fire
in the morning with it, hoping that
"peace will attend its ashes," now that
you ara one side of the all-important
question and myself on the other.
am respectfully,

Important Notice to Kansas Emigranta

A law of Congress is in existence, by
which any person making oath at any
United States arsenal or military post,
that he is about removing to any of the
territories of the United States for set
tlement, can receive from such arsenal
or military post, any description of arms
for defence, on deposit at such arsenal or
not in use at such military post, by pay-
ing therefor the cost of the same.
Persons from the East arriving in st.
Louis, and having no weapon of defence,
should call at the U. s. arsenal there, and
procure such implements for defence
from the "Indians." as the exigency and
his own good judgment shall: demand.
We purposed stating this fact long ago,
but neglected to do SO through inadver-
tency.

Ceutropolis,


There are many, very many, pretty
sites for cities in our beautiful Territory
Yet we have had the pleasure of visiting
no point in which nature holds out great
er inducements for the building up of a
large inland city than that of Centropolis.
Situated in the center of the Territory
North and South, and within few miles
of the center East and West. taking in
to consideration the arrable land worth
settling upon. The city site is sur
rounded On three sides by beautiful
streams of pure. swift running water, and
there is upon the town plot about one
hundred acres of valuable timber. The
surrounding country being we'll watered
and timbered, the land very rich and ar
rable. is susceptible of very dense settle
ment. All the materials for building
purposes are to be found in the greatest
abundance. Stone of the different vari-
cites and quality unsurpassed in the Ter
rltory, timber, sand, &C., all at hand
There appears to be nothing in the way
of substantial buildings being erected at
a mere nominal cost. Coal is also to be
found of little better quality, and in
greater abundance than at any other
point which We know in Kansas, some OF
the veins being, at tie entrance, from
three to six feet in thickness. In fact,
from our own observation, and what
knowledge we have derived from reliable
gentlemen, the country for miles around
appears to be underlaid with coal of Bit
lmous character. Iron ore and lead
have also been discovered in small guam
titles within the vicinity, and will doubt
less be ascertained hereafter to exist in
large quantities. Marble of a fair quail
ity exists within three miles of Centrop-
oils, which will be brought into speedy
requisition.
Centropolis is situated on the north
branch of the Usage or Marais-des-
Cygnes { 4Karade=een river, on the third
or center parallel line. 1t is 65 miles
from Kansas city, Mo. On almost di-
rect line from Leayenworth city via Law
renee, through the Neosho valley, one of
the richest sections of country in the
known world.
That the first railroad which is made
running north and south through Kansas,
will be made along the center parallel,
the country, settlement, and resources
will require. Persons wishing to invest
capital could do. no better than visit
Centropolis, where Mr.. P. FULLER, or 9TH
ers ofthe gentlemanly proprietors of the
city, would be lappy to show them
around.
We may be permitted to add. in con-
clusion, that Centropolis is a competitor
for the Capital of Kansas with no small
prospect of success.

Bounty Land Warrants.

As the public lands are situated in this
Territory, We would not advise any one
to invest his money in bounty land war
rants, to be located in Kansas. The
money will be safe, and the difference
between the price of land warrants and
the cash, is not sufficient to justify the
expense, difficulty, de-, attending the 10
cation Of warrants here. After the pub
lie lands have been exposed to sale, and
are open to private entry, We should give
different advice.
