The Kansas University.

By a notice in our last issue, the
reader will perceive that q meeting is
called, at Lawrence, for the 25th inst,
to consider the subject of selecting site
for the establishment of q University,
and appointment of trustees, &c, for
the same. Our readers have, doubt
less, perused the long and able letter Of
Mr.. ARSY, to Gov. GEARY, on the
same subject. We think the calling
of meeting so soon after its publica-
ton, and before the answer of Gov
GEaRY can be given to the public. is 9
premature step. and one which is likely
to prejudice the efforts Mr.. Army i:
making for the establishment. in Kan
sas. OF the best educational system ye
devised. @ kzs
In our Judgment, the time is too linn
tied, for a proper expression of th,
views of the people OF the Territory. t
reach Lawrence in time for the meet
ing; and any steps that may be taker
on that occasion, will be likely to Great
jealousy against the institution itself, a
being party moye-when it is desira
bic to have the most thorough expires
sion of the views of the whole people
on this point, without regard to part
or opinions.
i Would it not be better, in place G
selecting site, de-, as proposed in th
call, to draw up petition to Congress
based on the plan proposed by Ml
Army. and circulate it among the sci
! tiers?

Letter from New York.

JEDDo, n. Y, Dee. I'd, 80.
Mr.. BRowN-DEAR SIR Il left the
land of my choice, and my intended
future home, on the 7th of Nov. '56.
Reached st. Louis, by the steamer "A.
G. Goddin,' on the 11th inst. We
had pleasant trip down the river,
which was due mainly to the kindness
and attention of the noble Capt. Ivers
and his "crew."
II any person desires pleasant pas
sage up or down the Missouri. let them
secure it upon the GA. G. Goddin,"
as pleasant "set" of officers are so
rarely met with upon the Missouri stea-
mers. Capt. Ivers Is at once gentle
manly, accommodating and jovial, and
when his boat is entirely finished, it
will certainly be one of the most de-
sirable boats that plies the turbid Mis-
souri,.
When reached Illinois I found that
the election had turned in favor of Mr..
Buchanan. But this did not astonish
me SO much as to learn from his sup
porters, that they voted for him on the
grounds of his hostility to slavery
tension. l found, also, that the same
mistake prevailed in Ohio and Penn
sylvania, and on arriving in the State
of New York, l find, to my surprise,
that the so-called Democratic par
ty-excepting few paid politicians,
lis opposed to the extension of slav-
cry, and in favor of making Kansas q
free State; and not only SO, but many
of its members have expressed to me
their desire, to raise an army of vol
unteers to march to the rescue of theil
countrymen, who are suffering in thai
Lecompton slave-pen. If an organi
zation could be formed, under com
petent leader, l have not the leas
doubt that $4,000 men would volun
teer Immediately to march to the con
flict. Such is the sensation, caused by
the demands and aggressions Of slav
cry. And when the "gulled anC
hoaxed Democrats of the North ar,
undeceived, with regard to MIR. Blu
chanan's policy, it will produce tire
mendous reaction in that party, ant
Buchanan will be despised by thous
ands, who are now his warmest sup
porters. The Democratic party CARR
ed their deceptions so far as to exhibi
upon their banners Buchanan an,
Free Kansas" How will Mr.. Buch
anan reconcile, satisfactorily, the con
flicting elements of which the Demo
cratic party is composed? ? l canno
imagine. If he cannot make one ele
ment neutralize its opposite element
: they must work the certain destructio
) of that party. It is an ariom that a
immense majority of the America
/, people are violently opposed to tn
extension of slavery. l find, here i
New York, that the Democrats are a
much incensed at the Administratio
4 outrages in Kansas, as are the Repul
9 licans The Cincinnati Platform doc
:. not meet the wishes of the Norther
, Democrats, yet those who were ,cedde

DOO' - AOOS'
G. w. BRowS, Esq.-Dear SIR
I enclose you the report submitted by
me as a subcommittee on clothing,
of the Massachusetts State Kansas
COMMITTEES, accepted by them, and
provided by their authority. Our
friends in Kansas can hardly realize
the overfowing enthusiasm with
which the people of New England,
particularly the women, have moved
in this matter. I wish I could show
them, one and all, my files of letters
accompanying the various donations,
and many of them expressing, better
than / can repeat, an interest in our
brave and patient brothers and sisters
in Kansas, which l am sure would
warns their hearts better, even, than
their clothing will their bodies.
But I am grieved, and. every friend
of Kansas must be grieved, to lind
that many of those for whom we have
worked so willingly, and never grudg.
ingly, should be ready to return evil
for good, not merely because it hurts
their own feelings, as nothing but IN
gratitude can, but more especially be-
cruise it ties their hands, and disables
them from future successful efforts fol
their aid The most serious obstacle
in the way of our attempt to aid the
Free State settlers, has been a skepti-
cism in the minds of many, as te
whether any contributions made here
wonld ever reach the hands of those
for whom they were designed. This
feeling will be increased tenfold by the
hasty, ill.judged and unjust manifesto
of Col. Harvey and eighty odd of his
companions; it will cool many warm
friends and sharpen the venom of the
enemies of the Free State cause il
Kansas. 1t has already been seized
upon by the whole Buchanan press
and blazoned abroad as a justification
of their calumnies. / fear its effect
will be most disastrous-more so thar
you or those who issued it, can imag
inc. Yours for freedom and humanity
