WITH PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS FOR
ire pptirr

IN the Edttor offhe Midde6urV Register
Sin. In this days TRIBUNE CORES
pondcncc from Kansas | read the fol.
lowing; y.
Il saw man to-day whom had
known in New England. lie said to rue
Il came to Kansas with 81 800 in mon.
cy; l have served through tho whole
war; [ bavo a wifo and nine children /.
they have lived for fortnight on green
corn and squash there is in my house
neither meat, nor potatoes, nor meal,
nor flour, nor money; nor do I know
where to look for any BIT I shall
lire and die IN Kansas. ,
The writer further says:
If money is to be, or Gao be raised
in behalf of suffering Free Kansas, let it
rather be employed in sustaining the
suffering and impoverished here, than in
sending other emigrants
Kansas needs more men, let me add,
but such only should 60 MS can support
themselves. Three men well fed and
clothed are better than ten furnishing
encs. Friends Of Freedom awake. |
bcseech YOU, to action. Friends Of lfu-
manity lost moments now are golden
sands Of life vanished forever
This is the 9th of October. Beyond
the limits Of civilization, four hundred
weary miles of prairie intervene between
US and the perishipg
This is the / 9th Of October and soon
those broad wastes will lie buried be-
meath acras Of snow
When that time shall have como, out
brave but suffering people will be cut
of, as by q wall, from the entire North,
and unless previously provided for, will
be left prey TO all the villainies aud
develish atrocities Of the monsters who
have thus far so cruelty scourged them
Who then, shall succor tho widow in
her dcsolatior ? What hand shall feed
her innocents, perishng by cold and hun
ger ? in that sad hour where shall the
brave defenders of Freedom look for
relief
Upon the cxer,ious of TO-DAY depend
the issues Of ages
The time may seem short to us friendNl
between now and November; tho time
may seem short to Tia between this and
the Growing Of March We are all
locking and | trust all working, for the
election of our beloved Fremont, the
hops and morning star of crushed and
suffering Kansas. But consider oh ye
well fed ones consider, oh, ye comfort
ably clad ones consider, oh, ye well
sheltered ones that time wastes slowly
for those who are waiting their hour of
deliverancc To the pcrshing, hours
are like days, and days like weary
years
Thi, is the 9th Of October. Despot-
nm yields grudgingly to Freedom only
the desert for highway.
There is no Missouri for us The
rivers of America arc no longer open to
frecmcn. BY and by they will be open.
ed by and by, when our noble Path
finder" shall be our brave Pa;h.oponor
tbeu shall freemen oncs moro smle.
Then shall Kansas be saved
But, while watching and waiting and
praying and working for this great con-
summation, let us likewise seize the
Liberty's bravo defenders on Kansas
soil Friends, my heart is full, and l
could say much, but will say no more.
You will heed this appeal. 1t must
DO so
You ask now for information Listen:
On the 4th of last July tho citizens ap.
pointed Central Kansas Committee
within the Territory, thirteen in num-
Der, chosen one from each district of the
twelve into which Kansas is divided, and
thirteenth man from Lawrence.
On the 9th Of July, at Buffalo, the
friends of Kansas in Convention chose q
National Kansas Committee without
tho Territory, sixteen in humber, one
from each OF the Free States, with sup
Elementary working members from Hi
nois and Kansas.
The headquarters Of this organization
10 at Chicago. W. I, NJ. Army, at that
point, is our indefa,igablc and faithful
transportation agent.
The National Committee act in con.
cert with the Central Committee. The
fret relief train has just entered Kansas
The National Committee now possess
facilities for forwarding supplies. Let
ho ttnc De IoeI III seuuluS them IN.
Where.it con be done, it is best to mark
and send direct to W. +. NJ. Army, Chi
cago, paying freight for the same where
you can afford it. In such cases, mark
your consignments paid" and by letter
apprise Mr.. Army Of this fact. AS the
expense Of transportation is great. send
NEW rather than balf-worn clothing
Clothing packed in barrels lined with
"tar-psper," will 60 without risk Of inju
ry from dampness. The interstcics a.
round and among the goods may be fill.
cd with rice, banns, and such like food
as will not be injured by impregnation
from the garments or tar-papcr Blan-
ket-shawls and blankets will be very &C.
ceptatle to tho sbiveripg settlers this
Winter. Pins, needles, thread, buttons
and such small things should not be
overlooked. Where you can, send gray
or green flannel rather than red or white.
The reasons for this are important.
