The Settlement Of Kansas

Among the bills introduced into the House of
Delegates Of Georga.we notice one ITO promote
the. Sc tlement of the Territories Of the United
States" 1t provides or.State aid to companies
of Geergians. organized for the purpose of emi
graft ng to Kansas, but who may be disabled
from so doing from wan. Of funds IL proposes
that the leader or captain Of the company shall
give bond and security for the faithful dsburse-
ment of the funds, and with.a twelve months as
ter the receipt thereof transpos, one hundred
emgrants TO Kansas. ltproposes that the aid
shall be given in sums of $50 to each emigrant,
no &c exceed in the aggregate 5000, and TINT
the money SO expended is to be reimbursed by
special tax on slaves.
Similar schemes are under discussion in Mis-
sissippi and Alabama. 1t may be right TO re
81 ST wrong with wrong when no other means will
avail The heirling emigration sent forward
from the abolition States to Kansas, with the sole
purpose Of controlling the domestic policy of tho
Territory, was a violation of the spirit and OBJ
Jects of the Kansas act, that contemplated youn.
tary immigration and bona fde settlement. That
violation the people of Missouri felt themselves
justified in resisting in the mode that nature
prompts, fo-wt.a resort to force. II was n man.
lier way than to adopt and initiate the game of
the aboI'tionists by purchasing Immigration
We apprehend, too, that if the plan of settling
the Territory by the Northein mode be recogniz.
ed as legitimate, it will turn out that the free
Ststes will beat us in the contest They have n
greatly larger proportion Of movable and pur.
chasable population than the Southern States
And though they might not be as free to coutri-
butte their means as the South, what they might
contribute would go further and accomplish
more. The scheme is one which should not be
adopted without mature considerations

guano il the row, dropt the corn and GOV.

81 Experiment. Flushed the land,
and planted the corn with no guano, 1t
