Commissioners of Emigration,

At the last meeting of the Kansas
State Central Committee, the following
resolutions, which to US appear exceed
ingly important, were adopted. We be-
lieve in this movement as one which will
greatly conduce to the prosperity of Kan
sas, and wish the Committees delega-
ton all success.
ReSoiued, That the safety of the free
State cause in Kansas demands the larg-
est attainable emigration of Northern
freemen and investment of Northern cap
ital. during the coming spring and
summer
Resolced, That confidence is neces-
sary to influence these results !; and that
such confidence viii be best established
by determined assertion by the North
ern States, of their right to enforce pro-
lection to their own citizens on the soil
of Kansas, and liberal appropriation of
money to secure their protection.
Resoired, That this Committee appoint
from its number Commissioner to act
in concert with the National Committee,
consisting of two members, for the pur-
pose of representing the Importance of
these ideas to the Governments and peo-
pie of the Northern States.
Resolred, That Messrs. William Hutch
inson and j. M. Winchell be the Com
missioners thus appointed.

Letter from Mr.. shankland.

ED. HERALD OF FREEDOM i per-
ceive, from the Herald of Freedom, that
some one who signs himself Stigma, ="
in the n. Y. Times, has made use of
my name, in connection with Judge
Schuyler's, charging us with collecting
funds at the East for Kansas, and not
reporting the same. My mission East,
a year ago, was as bearer OF the memo
rial for full investigation into our af-
fairs by Congress.
The severity of the weather made APP
peals to the people proper for the suf-
fering people of Kansas. l addressed
many meetings, but directed that all
funds should be sent to Gov. Robinson,
at Lawrence. / refused to have any
participation in the collecting, receiv-
ing or discussing of the funds; and /
can confidently appeal to the people,
wherever l addressed them upon Kan
Esas affairs, for the truth of this state
nent.
/ have been faithful to Kansas, and
have had no selfish or mereenary mo-
tives. / have labored for year, and
shall yet labor on, with clean con-
science, pure hands, land an honest heart,
devoted to the great principles of free
dom. involved in the struggle and suf-
fcrings of Kansas.
! IiDpe rigid course of accountability
will be called for, and visited upon by
the suffering people of Kansas, for
whom funds were contributed. last WIN
ter. at the East. THos. SHANKLAND.

nalists. The few who had signifed
their willingness to follow us to Kan
sas, seemed to stand alone, and the
mighty responsibility, which, subse-
quently, has been assumed by millions
of free hearts in the Northern States.
then seemed to rest On us, few hum
BILE individuals, without pretensions for
anything save energy of character, in a
remote country town in North Western
Pennsylvania.
We did review our decision, and in
an hour after induced Mrs. BRows to
wipe away her tears; and, with pledge
that she would never censure us for
taking her to that unsettled region, let
what would betide, we commenced COM
pleting our arrangements for locating
in Kansas.
The difficulties attending the closing
up of heavy business of several years
standing, the collecting together of a
company of near three hundred persons
who accompanied us, and the low state
of the Ohio, which detained the party
for some time, delayed US SO that We
did not take final leave of Cur friends
in Conneautville, until the 9th of De-
tober following.
Arriving at New Brighton, On The
river. we unexpectedly found the Ohio,
which had been reported as rising, as
yet unnavigable. This changed the
plans of the company. They took the
railroad to Cleveland and Chicago,
Mrs. Brown accompanying them; while
wetook the route by way ofCincinnati,
to transact some business in that city.
The result was Mrs. Brown arrived
one aceek in adranee Of as, and was the
pioneer, in fact, of the Herald of Free
dom office to Kansas.
Will it be improper to mention, in
this connection, that Miss AIMS W.
GLEASON, our faithful clerk, and sister
of Mrs. B., cast her fortunes with the
same party, was upon the ground at the
outset, labored at the case at type-set-
ting when we were pressed with labor,
or short of assistance; and when her
health failed, SO as to incapacitate her
for longer effort in that direction, she
took her post at the table, and has kept
our books, and directed our papers,
from that time until the present?

j
G. w. BRowN, Esq.-DEAR SIR.-I
hale with great Joy. the Temperance of
the Herald of Freedom Phoenix like, it
has arisen again. Surely, Truth crushed
to earth shall rise again
You say. your contract with subscri-
bers is not complete until you have fur
nished them with fifty numbers of your
paper. The date of the destruction of
your press completed your contract with
me as subscriber, and nobly have you
performed your part. have anxiously
waited since for an opportunity to renew
it, which now am happy to do. by re-
hitting you the inclosed two dollars, your
terms per year of subscription-to COM
menee, if you please, with the current
month. Being stranger in this COM
munity, 1 cannot send you any new sub
seribers with this, as should be pleased
to do; but the number of the Herald Of
freedom, Nov. LIST, that / have just re-
ceived, is in the hands of good friend
of Kansas, and working mar, who will
introduce it to the consideration of the
lovers of Free Speech, Free Press and
of Freedom generally, in the neighbor-
hood. 7.

Cheer from Boston.

We received the following very
cheering letter from an esteemed friend
in Boston. IT was not designed for pub
location, but since we withhold has
name, we are sure he viii excuse the
liberty we have taken with part of his
letter. Under date of Nov. Goth, he
says:
ssYou NAV be assured that your friends
here, in Boston, are neither dead nor
asleep; but are up and doing, with
hearts as generous and warm as ever.
There is a meeting to-day of the book
sellers and publishers, to see what can
be done among them for Kansas. The
shoe and leather dealers are stirring in
this matter. They held meeting a
few days since, but / do not know the
result of their action. Boston alone
ought to raise $1,000 for Kansas this
coming winter, and might easily do it,
without feeling the burden; but the
truth is, and it may as well be told, the
real friends of Kansas are not those
who have the largest purses. The
bankers and men of wealth are not
more the friends of Freedom to-day,
than they were in 1776. They were to-
ries then-they are tories now. The
cotton lords of the loom, at the North,
are as much in favor of Slavery as
their brothers of the Lash, at the South.
But do not be dizheartened. Though
the wealth of the country and the pow
ers that be are against you, God is
with you. All the good and the just,
both in this world and the other, are
with you. Don't give up the ship y
Fling your colors to the breeze, from
the masthead, and nail them there, and
never strike them to the black, piratical
flag of Slavery Kansas belongs to
Freedom, and see to it that her Herald
proclaims it everywhere.
Since receiving the above, we observe
that the shoemakers of Boston, the
meeting of which was mentioned above,
pledge nearly $4,000 to the aid of
Kansas.
The Kansas herald of freedom. [volume] (Wakarusa, Kan. Territory) 1854-1860, 1856-12-06
From the Ed9efeld Is. e. Adcertiser.
General Atehisoa upon Kansas.

The following brief letter has CONS
within our reach, and we claim the priv
Hedge of publishing it, not only to
show the energy and true Southern
feeling of our esteemed fellow-eitizen,
MIR. Fuller, but that our people may be
encouraged to do something more yet
for the Kansas cause. The General,
you will see, feels that one more broad
side from the South will carry the de-
bateable land. Mark the tone of his
concise but emphatic note, and let us be
aroused to one more exertion -
"PLATTE CITY, Oct. 9, 1856.
DEAR SIR Your letter, together
with the draft for S13S 40, has been
received. and your instructions shall be
followed. l viii inquire diligently for
the Edgcfield boys. We have carried
the elections in Kansas. The new Gov
ernor gives satisfaction. But, my dear
sir, it is no time for Southern men 10
relax their exertions. Now is the very
moment to redouble our exertions. He
must do Il. If we do our duty, Kansas
will be slave State in twelve months
"a State, either IN or out of the Union.
Yours truly, d. II. ATcHIsoS.
