ing Mr.. F. as good an anti-Nebraska as Mr..
Banks.

EMIGRATION TO KANzAs.-A correspondent
uf the N Y Ei,annoIioF v-s-;4:-,5 from INaIrzoo
City, under date of April 10, says;
"Crowds of emigrants are coming into the
territory every day. There is not boat ar
rives from st. Louis that does not bring null
titudes of them. Since my arrival here, three
days ago, parties have come from Massachu
sets, Vermont, Connecticut, Ohio, Virginia,
Kentucky, Illinois, Michigan, and Pennsyl-
vania; and, in estimating the extent of the
immigration into the territory, it should be
remembered that as many part es proceed up
ward to Fort Leavenworth as there are thai
stop Mt this place. There are now. upwards
of fifty steamers plying constantly between
st. Louis and ports on the Missouri at least
as high as Independence. All these steamers
are crowded with passengers, by far the great
er portion Of whom are emigrants. Among
this multitude, what portion. so far as my
inquiries have extended, are from the slave
States ? Not one in twenty. And many of
those, even, who come from these States, come
with free principles, and prepared to cultivate
their farms by the aid of free labor. A very
intelligent gentleman from Kentucky, who,
with his family, came up in our company from
st. Louis, was one of the number.
