of emigrants for Kansas. says
''We ars opposed to the whole scheme
of sending emigrsnts TO Kansas, to sgi-
tate the slavery question. We have never
entertained the idea that Kansas would

Hedging Again.

Almost everybody in Kansas wants a
hedge. Joseph Gardener and Co., will
set hedge, and warrant it to live, at the
rate of one dollar for three rods. They
will also give instructions for its cultiya-
ton and training. The whole process
is exceedingly simple. ANY body who
has sense enough TO own farm can tend
it. PloW stripof landabout ten feet wide.
more or less. Have the center come on
the line for your hedge. In this center
run your plow eight or ten times, till the
ground is pulverized finely, about one
foot deep. Then set your plants about
six inches apart. To protect them from
being trodden down by cattle, it Is Me-
cessary to erect small barrier,as follows:
Drive stakes in the ground about eight
feet apart, and one foot high. Nail q
pole or . slat on these. and cattle, in
stepping over these. viii also step over
the hedge. This is all the protection it
viii need in field culture.

Lawrence Temperance Association.

Lawrence Temperance Association.
This society, formed but short time
since, and which meets every Tuesday
evening, has. thus far, maintained an
unusual degree of interest. Although
its organization cannot be said to be COM
pleted, still, the influence which it has
already exerted in our midst has been so
marked and apparent, that the friends of
the cause will certainly take courage.
and go on in their good work until the
last doggery shall close its door for want
of patronage.
Quite an interesting discussion took
place at the last meeting, upon the report
of committee appe inted at previous
meeting to lay before the society a sys-
tenn of innocent and healthful amuse-
ments. which it was hoped and thought
would make their efforts in the advance
ment of the temperance cause more ef-
fectual than they otherwise would be.
The amusemeHts which seemed to strike
the moral and religious sensibilities of
some most forcibly, were card playing
and dancing. After ananimated debate,
a vote of the meeting was taken, which
resulted in the acceptance of dancing as
an innocen. and healthful exercise, and
the rejection of card playing as the op-
posite to this. However, the report of
that committee was not finally disposed
of, and the same question may sarise
again; and as the next meeting will have
before it this and other very important
matters. it is hoped that all who take any
interest in the morality and temperance
of our city. will encourage these virtues
by their presence at the Hall of the As
sociation, over the tin shop, on next
Tuesday evening.

Personal.

Mr.. BRowS, the senior editor of the
Herald of Freedom, has gone East on
important. business. He will remain
absent for an indefinite period, during
which our readers will be favored with
frequent letters from him. In eighteen
months hard fighting against the foes Of
Kansas, he has found scarcely moments
respite; and takes advantage OF the
present lull in our affairs to revisit the
States lying close on to sunrise.
The associate, in taking ex-
elusive control of the paper, expects to
devote an undivided attention tothe work,
oespeaking at the same time from the
public friendly overlooking of short
comings, DC. The tone of the paper
will of course be of the old ring. We
expect not to be rufiian -beleaguered in
the future, and will therefore try to steer
clear of blood and thunder course.

Sketch of the Murdered
Barber.

THOMAS w. BAaBER, who was murder
ed by q Government official, in Decem-
Der last, while the city of Lawrence was
menaced by the Border Rufian army,
was born on the 22d of February, 1914,
in Franklin county. Pa. He was the
oldest child in the family. having two
brothers and two sisters. Such educa-
tional advantages as common schools at
forded in these days were given him.
In the spring of 1885, he, and his
brother Oliver emigrated to Richmond,
Ind. where they engaged in the woolen
manufacturing business, and continued
there until the year Al. when they re-
moved to and purchased a woolen manu-
factory at New Paris, Preble county,
Ohio. They continued in copartner-
ship in this business until the spring OF
AT. when Thomas gave it up. and went
to farming near New Paris. The same
year he married Miss MATILDA CAsLEY,
from Berkaly county, Va.
Early in the spring of '54, the Kansas
fever becoming prevalent in the States,
he and his brother Oliver, and brother
in-law, Thos. W. Pierson, and Capt
Sam'l. Walker, the two latter now resi-
ding near Lawrence, made trip to Kan.
sas Territory. and being well pleased
with the country, concluded to emigrate
Accordingly, he returned home, sold his
farm, settled up his business, and moved
here with his family in the spring of 55
He located seven or eight miles south.
west of Lawrence, on a claim, and re-
mained there until the time of his inhu-
man murder.
He left wife to mourn, in bitterness,
his sad and untimely end. They had
no children. He was peculiarly sym.
pathetic man, and eminently good man
His counsel and advice were always
sought by those who moved in his circle
and never sought in vain. He had
'.Hand open as day to melting charity,'
and was firm friend of the poor ant
lowly. He had more than ordinary tai
ents, and possessed good business quail
ications. He was perfect gentleman
a kind husband. and good citizen.
The murder of THOMAS w. BARBER
under the peculiar circumstances which
surrounded the people of Kansas at tina
time, caused profound feeling in thi
community, and aroused an indignation
elsewhere, which has not wholly subsi
ded yet. He was the second victim.-
Brown was the last. The names o
Dow and Barber and Brown, their hero
ic lives and martyr deaths. will long b.
remembered by the people of Kansas
But with what ineffable scorn and con
tempt will the acts of the Missourians
and their governmental coadjutors be re
garded by the civilized world in all com
ing time!

W. o.nno. ave,l too LONG on this beau.

We cannot dwell too long on this beau
tiful idea-for it is in this system, with
all its enterprise and beauty. its stirring
life, its cheering hopes, its ambitious
aims, its cottage homes. its happy iami-
lies, its free schools, its general intelii-
gence, its commercial greatness. its indi-
yidual and national wealth. and Its gen.
eral glorious results in happiness. peace,
prosperity and freedom. that We bring up
and compare with that other system
which is now practiced in 3 part OF these
United States, and advocated. not only
as best adapted to promote the welfare OF
Kansas, but as containing the chief ele-
ment of prosperity in ell we'll regulated
communicative mean African slavery.
The plan is to introduce into our un-
settled Territory. nation OF negroes
These negroes are to perform the labor
for white men-men who are too lazy to
work for themselves, but yet have the
taste for wealth and the luxuries which
wealth procures. To crafty these men.
who are unwilling to obtain wealth ieglt-
imately. by skill and industry, we are to
live in state of perpetual war, and COM
pei these negroes, and their Posterity af-
ter them, to work for nothing and find
themselves. Of course they are indo-
lent and unskillful, ignorant and revenge
full. To keep them in subjection, requires
terrors of no ordinary kind-whips.
chains, thumb-screws, blood hounds. and
the whole catalogue of tortures invented
by tyrrany since oppression began. All
of the opposite race must be armed, and
ready at moments warning to rush out
and quell an insurrection at any moment.
To make them as safe as possible, they
must have no learning. They cannot
invent nor manufacture-they cannot
live in, nor improve homes of their own
with them every Joy and incitement to
higher life is destroyed.
These negroes, and the mongrel breed
which springs from them, and their su-
periors are to be our neighbors and COM
panions, and if you please, our COM
petitors or enemies forever. With this
dead carcass Of ignorance and stupidity,
vice and enmity chained to US, how long
before our energies would fail, our hopes
decline, and virtue and peace bid US a
long farewell? Look on this picture, and
then on that. This, with its mongrel
race, its ignorance and unthriftiness, its
.tortures and its groans, its patrolers and
its blood hounds, its manufactures oi
whips, manacles, neckyokes and thumb
screws; its calabooses, cells and prisons;
its border ruffians, profanity, drunkeness
and crime, and compare it with the fruits
Iof freedom-then choose ye this day
which ye will serve.
To illustrate and enforce our srgu,
iments, we refer the reader to outrages
which we are now suffering from slavery

Middle and Southern Kansas 4Easterr

part.)
While much has been said and written
about the sections of this State adjacent
to the Missouri and Kansas rivers, there
is much that it is profitable to be known
of that part more South. Indeed, con-
sidering the advantages which are there
offered to settlers, it is remarkable that
the merits of that region have not been
more generally brought into notice. 1t
is true, there are no navigable rivers in
that section, furnishing facilities for water
communication with the States, yet this
may be said to be practically true of any
other part during a considerable portion
of each year. The streams afford abun-
dance of water for stock at all times, are
swift running, clear and pure, and along
their courses for the most part, heavily
timbered. Springs are abundant, though
they more frequently appear low down
in the ravines, or near the beds of the
streams. The water of these, though
generally limestone or "hard," is clear
and cold. Face of the country gently
rolling-soil deep and rich. Good
building stone in abundance, in many
places superior sandstone; though lime
stone, and stone composed of lime and
sand predominates. Coal is also found
in the region. giving assurance that
much more will be found. Uusuallv,
the winters are so mild that stock do well
on the range along the streams, with lit
tie feed besides what grass they get.
This part of the State is now being
settled rapidly by persons chiefly from
the Eastern and Middle States; are an
enterprising. industrious. go-ahead peo-
pie, and though principally engaged in
farming pursuits, are doing something
in the way of erecting mills and setting
in motion various kinds of machinery.
Much interest is felt by the settlers
there in favor of schools. especially in
securing. at the earliest day possible. the
benefits of the bes. common school sys-
tenn which can be devised. There are
also, many there who are ardent friends
of the temperance cause. and viii lend
ther influence in favor of Prehibitory
Liquor Law.
Good timber claims can yet be taken
there, especially on the tributaries and
head waters of Pctswotamie Greek. and
upon the Southern tributaries of the
Neridozine. Many, vhoss claims are
mostly timber. are willing, at reasonable
rates, to dispose of . portion of their
timber in lots of ten and twenty acres.
and even in larger quantities.
We viii add, that to those who prefer
settling where they win be sure of sssis-
lance in maintaining and preserving their
inalienable rights, we can recommend
the region within twenty miles west and
and southwest of Osawatomie.
