no! FOR KANSAS.
At the solicitation Of many friends, will proceed
to organize company of one hundred men to pro-
coed to Kansas about the last OF March,.
This pioneer band needs the aid OF the moneyed
citizens. They go to far-of country for the pur-
pose of occurring homes, and at the same time to de-
tend Southern institutions. They appeal to their
native State for aid with the hope that their appeal
will not be In vain.
It is Impossible that the people of South Carolina
can hear without emotion the news which daily
comes to us from Kansas. The long and bitter am
mosities have mt last ripened, and slavery and abo

rounded by the hosts Of abolition are risking their
fortunes perhaps shedding their blood IN our behalf!

We trust that these questions may be answered in
worthy and liberal manner. Let patriotism, and
State pride and Southern spirit be expressed IN

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,, Dec. 81, 1855.
Capt. 4. b. BELL:-Dear Sr-Jn reply to your
letter Of the 2sth must first repeat my proposition.
The pledge was to give hundred dollars to each
company Of one hundred Hen that might 60 to
Kansas under pledge to remain two years. When
ever you organize company Of q hundred men,
and start for Kansas, will pay to your treasurer
the amount pledged. If my colleagues ;a no.
be raised in their own districts, they authorize me
to say that each will contribute handsomely to the
aid OF your company.
to the spirit and patriotism OF the people Of the
State, is admirable. There are men scattered all
over the State, also who are willing to go, but not
in sufficient numbers to form separate company in
each district. Come out with your publication, and
when you get one hundred men solemnly pledged
to go to Kansas, feel authorized TO pledge the
South Carolina delegation for two hundred and fifty
dollars.
You will certainly have the hundred dollars from
me whenever you are ready to move with q hundred
men. Or should you fail in getting the full number
OF hundred men, then you may Call On me on the
day that you start for as many dollars as you have
men, under pledge TO go and to remain two years In
Kansas. p. s. BROOKS.
SOLICITING AID IN GEORGIA.
The Milledgeville correspondent Of the Savannah
Republican says:-On the 9Th inst gentleman
from Kansas, by the name Of White the object of
whose mission is to raige prosavery recruits for the
ballot box in that Territory, delivered, in his own pc
culiar and forcble style interesting address to
large audience. II Kansas is what he represents her
interests of the South might promote his welfare by
emigrating thither. His contempt for abolitonists
was clearly manifested and especially for such as
have been sent to that Territory by societies in the
non slaveh0lding States with view to the forma-
ton OF an antislavery constitution. He said that
the object Of his friends in Kansas was to triumph
at the ballot box; but that if they failed in this they
mouth. He urged that the Legislature would
promptly aid his enterprise or refuse to do So
der that he might, if they failed go before the peo
pie at once and raise funds by private subscription.
WEST.
SOUTHERN EhIaRASTs FOR Observation-Disclosures
COkrNG-MAJOR BUFoRD, ETC.
Prom he Westport Mss. Borcec Times, Jan %
We learn from the Montgomery (Ala) Advertiser
and Gazete Of the 18th ult., that Major Je Buford,
Of February next, with company of between two
and three hundred Southern emigrants, bound for
Kansas Territory. The company will be in charge
OF Major Buford, who is highly spoken of as a
wealthy, intelligent and energetic gentleman, and
one well calculated to carry out scheme of this
kind. 1t is individual enterprise and if few thou
sands more of our wealthy Southeners would initiate
his example, Kansas would soon be beyond the reach
of abolitionism.
AS Major Buford passes through wealthy section
of country his route, we trust that he will meet
with the encoura cement due him, and that men and
will be furnished TO carry out the scheme ina
proper manner. The spirit Of the South is risng-we
are happy to see i-ong have the fires been burning
on the borderer's altar, sometimes dimly always
seadtasty; and now that signals of recognition and
aid are looming up in the South, the warm flow of
life blood goes cheery through veins, and we bid
defiance to hordes Of Northern Goths and Vaudais
whose only aim seems to be bringing of discord,
Territory, where without them, all would he peace
and prosperity. They hal better beware the "ldes
of March" for by that time thousands Of Southern
ers will have made Kan n their home, hundreds Of
whom are staying in the border counties OF Missouri
during the winter from the fact of having been un.
able to put up comfortable winter quarters after
having made their claims in the Territory. Th are
that class which the pious ~ and refined % North
ern press denomnates as .border ruffians;' and
more, they are a class of men who know their right
and will maintain them.
In this connection, we would suggest Westport az
one of the best places of rendezvous. Here all the
necessary information to claims, situations, &c.
can be easily obtained; and in addition to this our
merchants, mechanics and business men generally
perhaps better prepared to do an Quitting bust
ness than at any otterpoint. These are mere sug-
gestions and eJnanate from desire not only to en-
courage emigration, but to afford every facility in
cur power to those at distance, who are de-
sirous of settling in Kansas, the information they
may want.
