EDS. TRIBuNE:-It is expected that by the last
Of next week, the Delaware Tract lands, will be
disposed of, and the sale closed The most of
the land already sold is in the possession ofpro-
slavery men. The Northern men allowed them
selves 10 be out bid by their Southern competi-
tors, and allowed the Slavery extensionists to
buy the soil and thus secure one of the best foot
holds, for the ultimate control of the State. The
occupied and improved claims sold at the apprai-
sails, the others went at high rate. The land
in Leavenworth City is to be put up at public
auction and sold to the highest bidder, this
week.
Ncarly.a hundred men are about ready to
leave this city for the Big Sugar Creek, about
100 miles distant, and there make settlement.
That section ofcountry is represented as being
the best watered, timbered, and fertile portion
Of Southern Kansas. 1t is near Missouri, and
subjected to invasions from without, in time of
difficulty. These men are going there to identi
fy themselves with the people and the soil, and
aid in the restoration of peace and order, make
for themselves homes and money.
In Quindaso the other day public meeting
was held, to take measures for the construction
of railroad from that city to this, up the Kan
sas Valley General Pomeroy was Chairman,
and ]. n. Winchell, Esq, Secretary. Speeches
were made by COL Parks and Burns, of Park
vile, Mo-, Gov. Robinson and other gentlemen
of Kansas. There was So, 900 subscribed, on
the spot for the project.
The Rev. Mr.. Adair, a faithful missionary of
the Congregational Church, who has been sta
toned in Ossawattomie for months. arrived here
to-day. He reports that all is quiet in that Sec
ton of country.
The U. S. troops stationed here for some time
left week ago and went into winter quarters.
Many of the settlers are in destitute condition
and thankful for the aid sent to them By the Ia
dies Of your city; also, to the ladies of Alton for
| $500 worth of clothing. More anon.

The slave Trade.

Mr. Ethridge introduced the following reso.
luton on the floor of Congress, regarding the
r-opcnng of tho slave trade:
Resolved, That the House regard all sugges.
ions or propositions of every kind, by whomso.
ever made for the revival of the slave trade. as
blocking to the moral sentiments OF the enlight-
snsd portion Of mankind, and that any act on
the part Of congress, legislating for, conniving
II, or legslizing that horrid and inhuman traffic
sould justly subject the United States to the
nproach and execration of all civilized and
Christian people throughout the world.
Yet, surprising asit may seem, there were
northern men, SO lost to every just sense Of their
responsibilities as FREQ state men, rs to vote di.
rect for laying this resolution on the table
Denever and Herbert from California, and Flor.
sncc from Pennsylvania. 1t is needless to add
that all these men were of the modern dem.
ocratc school. Thus it is that some of tho
most obvious pro slavery movements are en-
dorsed by free state men, and eveni those acts
that southern men will not stoop to perform
themselves, are perpetrated by. doughfaces, call
Ing themselves men from free states; instance,
the Fugitive Slave bill executed by Willard Fill
more, and the Kansas Nebraska act carried
through BY Doughias.
