Fancy Emigrants.

Many young gentlemen who have new
er been accustomed to labor, come to
Kansas to take up claims and settle. Some
come as far as Kansas City, in Mo-, and
return. Some come to Lawrence, and
look out of the chamber window for a
fancy location. but seeing none to their
mind, t.ke the back track. Some ven
ture even further, and hire horse and
ride out few miles. They look for
mansion houses, barns and orchards,
waiting to be occupied by some young
gent, like themselves. But finding none,
they return disguised with the country
These young men are amiable, harmless,
and short sighted. For their benefit, we
will say. that everything is waiting here
to be moulded by the plastic hand of IN
dustry. One of the English classics
saws. 1.-The statue is in the blocks of
marble, the sculptor only finds it." So
our mansion houses are in the stone

Farms, orchards and barns are ready to
spring into life at the magic touch of
labor. Let the fancy emigrant lay aside
his broadcloth, and become a creator
The materials are all here, furnished by
a beni6cent Providence 1t now remains
for man alone to perform the crowning
work. The garden of Eden can be
re-created only by thoughtand labor, and
it can only be inhabited by intelligence
and love. Animosities, strifc and fac
tons must cease before we have place
for nice young men. Lay aside your
gloves, gentlemen, and help US do ouI
frst rough work, and when We bring or

of the elements, we then may, perhaps.

which you now so much enjoy. But
trials must always precede enjoyment.-

and pleasure; but the materials are here,
and you must arrange them.

A cry from the land where the prairie blooms
With 'fhe blood-red blossoms of Nar,-
And the glare of the blazing home illuInes
The night of her darkend Shore
Comes thrilling the souls of the northern free,
The souls of the northasn brave:
Eve struggle-we die, that our land my be
Uncursed by the tread of the Slave!
But treasure its spirit and blood is poured
For The Holy Cause, in vain,
While rufiian foenen, horde on horde
From southern swamp and plain,
Sweep over our prairie land like the rage
OF her own prairie fires:
Lo. fFeemen faint in the fight they wage,
And freedoms self expiresi
"0ur hope is placed in the northern Heart
Always true 10 the right
And we wait till its answering throb shall part
The silence of our night
0 Friends, your LEADER is bold and Young,
He has trodden our plains before,
And we long TO see his banners fnug
In Victory, as of yore!
The day of the battle, it draweth nigh,
The foe are before us now,
Their martial music, the shrek and the sigh
Wrung by the slaver's blow.
Then, grid ye, grid yel o fearless and free!
Fight like the olden brave!

suggest an entire change Of programme

cient aid
1st. \ man who is worth nothing

thousands of dollars have been thrown
away in fitting out worthless young
men, who have come here and staid
few weeks, done more harm than good,
and finally left for parts unknown.

'sary for them to make any special eff
fort to raise arms and ammunition for

of the government troops and the Mis-
souri, mobs are effectually checked

effort expended to assist farmers which
has been expended in this summers
war, will set Kansas above and beyond
want. We do not expect to be called
upon again to go to war, but if we are,
the expenditures which we are suggest
ing are as important as any that can be
made We must not suffer our high
spirited and thrifty men to be broken
down, and to leave the country, for
want of few hundred dollars. We
urge this measure on the consideration
