sAs--"Y" the noted Whitehead" correspon-
don't of the Missouri Republican, in letter of
the 21st April, says: s7aeg
We have daily accessions from the South, of
citizens of high character, intelligence and
means. Many of them bring their slaves, who
have perfect horror of Abolltionsts. They
say: What do Abolitionists want to take us
for? They don't let free negroes come into
their States; they send them to the cold coun-
trY of the Canadas. They are not the Negroes
fir end; they are his enemy"
do not believe of these servants who have
come from Virginia, South Carolina, or Ken
tucky, that there is one who could be persua
ed to leave his master; but rather would they
all take up arms In his defense against Abo
| l.tionism
| From present indications there will be grain
enough raised and stock fatted in Kansas this
season to feed all its population in eSse ard
prospective. Everywhere can be seen new
fields and arrangements for others, while pows
are imported by wagon loads and stock by
droyes. lr-s-s~.-
