A number of members of the I. o.

noon of the 18th inst, and perfected
measures for the immediate organiza-

The meeting was organized by ap-

ter which Committees were appointed
to procure place for regular meetings,
and to obtain a charter.
Officers were elected to serve until
a regular Lodge was duly instituted,
They resolved to meet each alternate

Going to Texas. !

A gentleRan who has spent slgreat-
er portion of his life on the western
borders of Missouri, who is familiar with
the entire workings of the institution Of
slavery. and who is at this time heavy
STAKEHOLDER, assured US the other day,
that the property holders of that State,
who have been compelled to pay the
expenses Of those marauding expeditions
into Kansas, have fully determined te
array themselves. with all the power
they can command, against further in.
reference by the people of that State
with the institutions of Kansas. .Ht
said the day had gone by when there
was even hope of making Kansas I

he, "knows this to be the case.". HI
claimed that Stringfellow and Atchisor
might continue to buster, but if left t.
themselves. instead of hurting others
like Col. Benton's bull. they would xii
themselves "splurging."
Already many persons in Missouri
who apprehended all was lost if Kansa
could not be made a slave State, ar
preparing to leave with their slaves 70
Texas. This is but the natural effec
of the foolish statements of the dema
gogues of Missouri, who said 'slay
labor would be valueless if Kansas wa
an abolition State" The assertions G
those men, that Missouri would be
free State in ten years, if Kansas shout
be free State, has done more to max
it such, than all the action of the North

Selections.

For the first time in several weeks
we have been enabled to sit down
among our exchanges, and Gull from
them much valuable matter relating
to Kansas. We trust dish of selec-
'tions, such as we have made for our
readers this week, and placed on the
outside pages. will be quite as accepta-
bic as original matter from our pen.
The health of our assistant was such
as to entirely preclude his services in
our behalf this week. His sickness
was brought upon him from exposure,
while hauling our present office here
from Manhattan, in September last,
lodging about on the by-roads to es-
cape the observation of the rufians
who were lurking in the vicinity.

beneath stands displayed in bold re-
lief. 1t cannot afford to lose in such
a contest, and the first real victory won
over it. sounds its knell on the ground
where it was gained. There is no en-
ergy. no life, no vitality, to resist a
defeat, and rise above it. This is the
lesson to be learned from the past and
present of Kansas, and with all these
to prove that Slavery can never be q
permanent institution, be productive
of good, or be capable of entering
into > contest with Freedom. when the
latter bares its sinewy arm of toll and
industry; is it not to be wondered that
any one, with ordinary intelligence,
should prefer slave labor and all its eff
fects, to free, intelligent labor. with
the innumerable blessings which attend
the community that recognizes, and
honors industry? y II u

Commissioners in behalf of that State
to inquire Into the wants and necessities
of the settlers from Vermont in Kansas,
and report the same to the Governor for
relief. Mr.. Hutchinson arrived on Mon

through Missouri, and is now anxious
to gain all the reliable information in his
power in regard to the absolute neces-
sites of the Vermont settlers, that the
proper relief may be furnished as soon

Come to Kansas.

In all the Northern States, and in
their crowded cities, there are thousands
of young men. employed as mechanics.
clerks, &C., who work along from week
to week, spending all their small earn
ings to provide for Lhemselves,and those
dependent upon them. the mere neces-
saries oflife. and seldom saving ought
for future competence. Yet these men
are industrious and energetic, and in
favorable situations, would make them
selves independent. TO all such, We
say, come to Kansas in the Spring. We
have land enough for all. Millions OF
rich acres, are waiting only the toiler's
hand, to make them all beautiful with
the fruits of cultivation. Every man
can secure $50 acres of this fertile soil,
and build up for himself a home, such
as he could not procure by a life time
of hard labor in the older States.
The small capitalist will find here a
profitable investment for his funds. He
can cultivate the soil or invest in mer-
camille or mechanical business, with
equal profit, and by SO doing, he will
not only be enriching himself, but also,
by employing others. give them chance
to do the same in their turn.
To the men of talent. energy, indus
try and ambition, Kansas offers a field
wide enough for their highest fight,
and their most extended efforts. Office,
power, influence and position, will BE-
the future prizes of all such, who come
to Kansas now. We have an intelli
| gent, thinking, active and self-relian
population, who, assisted by the capita
that will pour in upon them, will devel
ope the resources of the country, faster
than ever those of other Western State.
were done. Kansas is the place for TIN
poor man; the man of moderate means
and the man of talent, energy and hon
esty; to secure that, which all are seek
ing competence, sufficient to maxi
them independent.
To those looking for Western loca
ton, we say, come to Kansas, as earl,
in the spring. as possible, and you vii
find here all that you desire-a fertil
soil, fine climate, beautiful scenery, in
telligent society, and the certainty G
ample reward for labor. Be not afrai,
of Missouri, or that Kansas will be
slave State. for its population alone ca
decide what shall be its future institu
tons, and the majority ofthem have al
ready, by word and action, declared il
favor of Freedom. Come to Kansa
land help to build the State whose foun
dations We have already laid, and thu
aid the onward progress of the Who'll

Letter from London.

In another place, we publish an in
teresting letter from England. respon-
sive to the authors reflections on re-
ceiving and reading the HERALD OF
FREEDoa, which a gentleman in cur
Office had forwarded him. 1t is q
soul inspiring letter. and viii be Pc

out hope of being favored regularly
with communications from the same

sea-girt isle, giving the authors re-
f@tions and observations on Ameri.

The ouasi-Legislature.

We attended the sittings of this
body, on Saturday evening last, and
were very much pleased with the pro-
ceedings. The message of the Gov
ernor was read, and was not only a
lengthy, but decidedly an able as well
as amusing production. Some of the
measures proposed for the considera-
ton of the house, might be adopted
with much credit by legislative bodies
of more fame than this assembly. The
usual amount of fun and repartee sea-
soned the evenings entertainment, and
the spirit with which it was conducted
was highly creditable. The dignified
and cordial manner of the Speaker,
E. D. LADD, Esq, would have done
honor to any parliamentary body. He
is evidently well versed in Jefferson
and Cushing's Manual.

Subscriptions Expiring.

The first half of volume second
of the HERALD OF FREEDOM will close
with number twenty-five, three weeks
hence. All those who subscribed for
onelyear, commencing their subscrip-
lions with No. 81, Vol 1; and all
who commenced with No. 1, Vol. 2,
paying for but six months, will find
their subscriptions ending with that
number, which will bear date January
10th, 1857. Such persons should
lose no time in renewing their sub
scriptions. We shall only publish
just papers enough to supply our list !;
hence if they neglect to renew in time,
and are stricken from the books-as
all scW be who do not re-subscri6e prior
to that time-they will miss some of
the numbers.
In renewing their subscriptions, we
hope each old subscriber will forward
as many new names as possible, ac-
companying the same, in all cases, with
the cash. Every patron of the HER
AID OF FREEDOM can get ten of his
neighbors to join with him, by proper
exertion, and SO make up a club,
which we are now furnishing for fif.
teen dollars.
The mails are safe, both to and from
Kansas and no danger is to be ap-
pretended from Border Ruffian post
masters,as we are favored with brass
lock mail between this point and St.
Louis. which is only opened at indie
pendence while on the route.
Remember that no paper is sent
from the office until it is paid for, and
it is discontinued as soon as the time
of the subscription expires.

Liberal Assistance.

ton, Mass. sends us large club of sub
scribers from that Post Office, by the
last mail, accompanying his order With a
draft for $75. So we go. The Squat.
ter Sovereign suggests that we owe a
debt to the Border Ruffians for destroy
ing our Office, and imprisoning US
through the summer. Be that as il
may, we are satisfied it was the poorest
investment that party ever made, when
they sought to crush out the freedom o.
the press by trying to crush out the

We are compelled to repeat, that
We have not single copy of any pre-

Literary Associations.


One of the most creditable features
of our northern society, is the numer-
ous and influential literary associa-
lions, libraries, reading-rooms, lyce-
Iums and lectures that furnish food for
the mind, and have been the nurseries
for SO many shining Lights in the
literary and political world. This
spirit of self improvement is one of
the marked distinctions between those
States where Freedom exists, and
those where slavery rules. In the free
States. the tendency is to spread wide
the sunlight of knowledge, and throw
open every avenue to education, while,
on the contrary, in the slave States,
the tendency is to concentrate all
knowledge and learning in the few,
and leave the masses in ignorance,
thus leading to an aristocratic, anti
republican system, and to make the
privileged few arrogant, ambitious
and overbearing; and the many, igno-
rant, depraved and ruffianly.
We have no where felt the force Of
the maxim of the celebrated English
lJurist, Lord Brougham, that "Igno-
rance may make men slaves, but Edu-
cation never" as we have done in
Kansas. Our main support here has
consisted, not in numbers, but in the
moral and intellectual superiority Of
those who were on the Free State side
which has led them to adhere to prin
ciple, and to suffer rather than fail il
adherence to its dictates.
We trust that this distinguishing
characteristic of northern society, al
lluded to, viii find ample encourage
ment on the soil of Kansas. W.
have, in our midst, large numbers o
young men who have no place bu
their clearinghouse, or the stores, il
which to spend the long winter even
1 ings. The establishment, in Law
renee, of lyceum, with library, lee
lures, &c, would be found highl.
beneficial to this class of our citizens
as we'll as TO the whole community.
! Would it not be we'll to re-organiz'
the Lawrence Athenaum, which wa
formed here the winter after tn
/ first settlement of the town, ant
which the more important duties an,
responsibilities of the exciting con
test through which we have passed
has alone caused to fall into allegiance
There was quite a valuable Library
, of over 500 volumes, belonging to tn
association, and if resuscitated, vii
form the nucleus of an institution sec
, ond to no similar one. The excite
ment and dangers of war have, w
trust, passed forever, and it become
us to lay aside its influences, and cult
f vate the arts of peace and civilization

Herald of Freedom.

We have received within the last
few days the names of two new sub
scribers to the Herald Of Freedom, each
accompanied by 50. We have also
received 50 each from two of the old
subscribers, with the request that we
forward the money, as donation, to
Mr.. Brown. We shall take great
pleasure in forwarding the funds COM
mitted to our care for these purposes,
be the same more or less. But we
shall be particularly pleased if we can
send Mr.. Brown a good, long list of
subscribers at two dollars a head, and
also good round sum made up of do
nations from old subscribers. Who
shall we place next on the list ?-H-
lenyille, Y. Y, Journal.
The editor of the Journal is one of
the very few editors who understands
the position of a Kansas publisher.
He commenced, not by sending US his
paper, and wishing an exchange, but
enclosed two dollars, ordering the pa
per to his address, remarking that his
local country paper would be of no
value to us. He received the paper,
was pleased with it. and by we'll
written notice, interested his subscri-
bers in it.. The result was, he sent us
eighteen names, with the cash, each
for year. But he is not satisfied
yet. He is conscious that Kansas
cannot be enslaved while she has a
free press. He wishes still farther to
enlist the interest of his neighbors in
behalf of Kansas. The result of his
| action is Swallowed in the paragraph
above, which we clip from his last
paper. Those who desire to see free
press crushed out in Kansas can read
such notices and weep, if they choose,
but the paper will keep fright on"
