But notwithstanding I'll these fine arrange
ments and fair promises, we cannot venture to
encourage our readers to take q hand In this
New York State Kansas speculation. Land
Spectators in Kansas are just now blowing up
quite number oflarge sized bubblea Men who
fancy themselves rich there today, may be beg
gars by next December. Better be cautious till
Mr.. Walker shows bis band. This Auburn enter
prise may possibly prove to be q good thing but
1t may prove to be nsorrs mMtioaulis operation.
We think, therefore, we shall have to endorse
this certificate over to poor Pierce.
From the past experience of the country in Lake
Superior copper mining companies, California
gold mining companies, Parker Vein coal mining
companies, Potoei Lead mining companies, and
various land specializing companies the chances
are that in the end it will prove to be swindle,
a humbug, bubble, or failure What will
avail the names of all the great men of the State
as endoIsers of this Auburn-Kansas scheme,
should it happen to explode or break down
through some mysterious rascality, defalcation,
or bad management Look at the F0urierite
phalanxes, and how they were pulled and blown
into life by Horace Greeley. Where are they
now? Bursted and dispersed Look at the
Pennsylvania Norwegian Colony purchase, in
which Ole Bull was entrapped. with his pockets
full of msney. The concern exploded, but not
till the honest but foolish Norwegian had his
pockets cleaned out-aad where is Ole Bull nov.
Back again at his fiddle, which he had dropped to
become the Landgave of great Norwegian set
Element among the Pennsylvania mountains.
With the hint thrown out by the original Mas
sacbusetts Kansas Emigrant Aid Society, new
class OF speculative projects appears to have
sprung up-a class of joint stock colonization
companies. Mr.. Thayer, the original inventor,
has extended the idea to q grand consolidated
waste land purchasing company, for the free
white re-colonization and regeneration of Old
Virginia; and this project may be made to pay
to all concerned. And 80, too, may all other
we'll organized schemes for the purchase aud SET
Element of the waste lands of the border slave
States But with the increasing prospects
in favor Of Kansas becoming free State,
the Northern emigration to that region is, we
fear, beginning to be taken up for Wall street
stocSjobbiDg and kite-fying purposes Under
this impression, We approve the knock-down argu-
ments used by Archbishop Hughes the other night
against certain scheme for q concentrated Irish

with the Archbishop, that In these days Of Wall
street swindling in everything that can be TUNED
into . fancy stock, these stockjobbing West
ern pAilanthropic emigration companies are not
to be trusted by poor Pat, nor BY honest Tom,
Dick or Harry.
Our land and town lot certificate from the
''New York Kansas Emigration Company" Il,
therefore, at their service. They have sent it to
The wrong shop. Our business IL not done in
that way. If Mr.. Hall should desire 1t, we can
deliver up our scrip TO the chief of the Tribune
Feurierite phalanx, or to the Wall street propre-
tor, or the 'little villain" 90 called, Of the
Times. We dare say that with the Tribune phi
losophers or the Times fnanciers this new fancy
Kansas free State emigration scrip from Auburn
viii. If offered, be accepted by the ream. We
give the Auburn company the full benefit of their
own statement Of their case, through our columns,
in the publication of the papers aforesaid; but
we warn our readers against dabbllng in NE lots
Of great New York city ia Kansas. the very
site Of which has yet to be discovered, and which
may never be found.
The political views Of the general object sug-
gested by our Rochester correspondent opea up
an extensive field of discussion. II is quite DOS
sibe that from the germ Of Mr.. Thayer's Kansas.
Massachusetts, Emigrant Aid Society, which came
20 near a revolution in the government in 1856,
there may spring up by the year 1860 such cata-
logue Of Northern emigration companies for
Southern colonization, as wholly to change the
present political issues Of the country in that
campaign At oil events, II appears that ME-.
Seward is the political head Of the Auburn Kansas
company. and that their great object as political
land operators is to take the wind out of the sails
Of Robert j. Walker for the succession.
