What we Exnact.

We hope and expect that Congress
viii repeal all the laws made by the
Missouri bogus Legislature at the
Shawnee Manual Labor School. We
further expect that Congress viii enact
some laws, suited to our condition,
till such time as the actual settlers can
make laws for themselves. We also
expect an appropriation of money to
pay for the illegal destruction OF
property, by government officials, and
by bands of armed men from Missouri.
If we are granted the above, and
Congress shows q disposition to do us
jiustice,we do not feel so anxious about
being admitted as State, till such
time as our population becomes much
larger than at present, and our Terri
torial institutions have become organ
lied, and in healthfui operation.
If otherwise, we desire to be adj
mitted as q State Immediately, and
hope our friends viii press the meas
ure forward with all the force they can
command.

out freedom here. They have hired the
dissipated sons of wealthy planters to
come here and aid them In their work.
Money has been distributed with a
lavish hand to pay the passage of those
persons, and to supply them with spir-
ituous liquors while on the ground
They have been sustained at great ex-
pense while engaged in their maraud.
ing expeditions against the actual
settlers. They have made no improve
ments upon the soil, nor taken up
claims. Instead of benefit to the
party and the cause which sent them
here, they have been an unmitigated
curse. The pro-slavery party in Kan
sas is infinitely worse off to-day, in
consequence of this bought-up emigra-
ton, than it would have been without
them. They have lost in position
and numbers, because, nearly every
man who came here under the influence
alluded to, has returned, and is report
ing that it is preposterous to attempt
to make Kansas slave State. Their
violence upon the Free State party has
brought down retalitory movement
on the actual pro-slayery residents,
and they have felt compelled to leave
the Territory, taking their families and
slaves with them, and giving up the
country to the "abolitionists, as they
term all Northern men.
The Southern movement of last win
ter and spring, in paying the passage
of emigrants to Kansas, was followed
by counter movement in the North,
which, in our opinion, has not materi-
ally strengthened our cause. Many
good men came out in those expedi-
tions, and have quietly settled down on
claims, and will make valuable citi-
zens but there were some adventur-
ers who came here, like the sons of the
South, that they might give vent to
their wild natures. They have COM
mitted excuses, and injured us. Like
the Southern bravadoes, they have
"strutted their brief time on the stage,
and have passed away "a ~

State legislature,

1t viii be remembered that the regu.
lar session of the State Legislature, ac-
cording to the State Constitution, will
be held on the first Tuesday in January
next, and it is important that every
member be present. Ifthe Legislature
fails to meet, the Constitution fails, and
such failure would place our friends
in Congress in an awkward dilemma
Whether admitted into the Union OF
not, the Legislature should meet, and
memorabilia Congress, ifnothing more.
There viii be no opposition, of for
chile character, made to its ses-
sions, as we now have a Territorial
Governor who understands the Consti.
tutional rights of the people.

Literary Society.

The Kansas Philomathic Institution
is the name of a literary society lately
established at Topeka. 1t has already
a fine library of over three hundred
standard works, which bids fair to be-
come one of the finest in the Territory
Public meetings are held every Satur-
day evening for the purpose of discus
sing all subjects of interest, and every
month one of their members is chosen
to deliver a lecture. The first Satur-
day in January next is the anniversary
of the Institution, and an original
poem will be recited by Mr.. L. FARMS
WORTH, and LEWIS G. WnLMARTH, Esq,
will deliver the anniversary address.
Any donations of books, DC, that
may be sent to this society viii reach
them directed to the Philomathie
Institution, Topeka.

soon come to the conclusion, that mo-
ney, in this kind of property, was
poorly invested.
We have examined this subject in
its thousand bearings, and we say, in
all confidence to our friends in the
States: We do not desire any CON-
promises in our behalf. Plant your
selves upon the RIGHT, and sustain your
position against all odds. This We
have done in Kansas. This we WILL
do, and we know that victory will
crown our labors. The tickle hearted
may despond-they are not the kind
we want among US. Give us the good
and brave-those who can dare and do
for the triumph of q principle-who
can suffer and wait until the good time
comes, and all will be- well. But
again we say to the North: Enter
into no new compromise with slavery

shingle Manufactorv

-Four Young men who have recently
come to Kansas, have commenced
making shingles for their winters
work. They have simple machine,
costing, perhaps, $50. With this
they turn cut about 5000 good shin
giles per day. Nothing like enterprise,
boys. Kansas is bound to go. We
believe this is the first manufacturing
establishment started in the Territory

The United States Senate.

As very much of good orevil emana tes
from our Legislative bodies, citizens are
paturally anxious to know the character
sf the men who compose those bodies.
Ten Free States have elected senator's
to serve in the next Congress
Maine win elect Republican, in
place of Gov. Hamlin.
Massachusetts, viii probably re-elect
Charles Sumner.
Rhode Island viii elects Republican
in place of Democrat.
Connecticut the same.
New York will elect another Repub-
lican. There is some talk of electing
Col. Fremont.
Pennsylvania viii probably elect
another Democrat.
New Jersey will elect another Demo-
crat.
Michigan win elect Republican in
place of Gen Cass. N
Indiana viii elect two Democrats.
In California two vacancies are to be
filed, but by whom We cannot tell.
These areall the Free States that elec;
this winter. ~
Delaware, Texas, Florida, Virgins.
Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee viii
as usual send ProSlaveTy Democrats.
The result of the coming changes viii
probably be gain of three senator's to
the party of Freedom. with possibility
of one or two more from California.

Missouri.

A gentleman from Indiana called
in our Office few days ago, who had
passed through Missouri with his
goods and family. on his way to Kan
sas. He said he was never better
treated, when journeying. in any part
of the country. The citizens general
ly condemned the outrages which had
been perpetrated in Kansas.

PubI;c sehools

An adjourned meeting of the citizens
of Lawrence was held on Monday eve
ming, the sfh inst. 20 hear the report
of the Committee appointed at pre-
yious meeting. for the purpose of form
ing a system of Public Schools for this
vicinity. DR.. Prentiss was appointed
as Chairman, and G. ". hutchinson as
Secretary.
! Rev. Mr.. Mute then reported the pro-
gress of the Committee, and spoke at
some length upon the necessity of es-
tablishing a good system of education
in our midst, and hoped the day was
not far distant when Lawrence would
have fine, commodious building de-
voted to this purpose. He had that
evening received letter from gentle
man in New York City, making the en-
quiry, "What can We best do for Kan
sas 90 and he had no doubt that if by
Spring a thousand dollars was raised By
the inhabitants of Lawrence, the remain
der would be furnished by few indi-
yiduals in the East.
DR.. Prentiss, as Sub Committee for
the purpose OF soliciting subscriptions
towards the current expenses of the pro-
posed schools, reported, that he had Sc
cured $50, having commenced can
vassing the town that afternoon.
Mr.. Army, agent of the National
Committee, spoke briefly of the impor-
lance of Education to the welfare of any
people. Schools are the best lever to
make Kansas Free State. Wherever
Education is found, thinking men and
women abound, and Freedom with her
blessings follow. Good schools will
raise the value of property, for wherever
they are found, will come the refined,
intelligent and moral, and all things
will be enhanced in value. 1t is the
dnty of Kansas to show a noble exam
pie in the establishment of a thorough
system of Public Education and he
knew no place more entitled to take the
initiative in this measure, than Lawrence.
Messrs. Branscomb, Hutchinson,
Sutherland and others made remarks,
strongly approving of the plan and
pledging themselves to aid by all the
influence they could command. On
motion, the meeting adjourned.

Progress in Central America.

Gen. Walker has not succeeded very
well, in conquering Nicaragua. II he
should succeed at all, it should be
attributed more to the imbecility of
the enemy, than to his own superior
military skill and prowess. He has
lost one of his best and most wealthy
friends, "a Spaniard from Cuba, by
introducing slavery there again. This
man, Gen. De Goicouria, who had
been sent to London by Walker, to
secure the aid and friendship Of
England, stopped at New York, and
refused to go farther. In his letter,
he says
"But apart from the above consid-
erations, l am obliged to persevere in
my resolution of not proceeding to
London, when | take in view the de-
cree you have just issued in relation
to slavery in our republic"

of his lack of skill and military STRAIT.
egg. One of them says:-''The NOR
tality is awful, and our lads die of
like rotten sheep. IT'S not the eli
mate, so much as lack of proper
food"
Gen. Walker has received from the
United States, a little over 4, 900 re
cruits. OF these, IA have been killed
in battle, and 1851 have died of dis.
ease; and on the first of November, he
had only 1.275.
His decree establishing slavery has
started into life hosts of enemies in the
North, and will also array England
and France against him.
1t may, however, draw off from oul
Southern country, a host of hot-headed
young men. who will so down to spend
the winter and help Walker, and have

racy of the North, by powerful and
