KANSAS ITEMS


We clip the following items from the Kansas
Herald Of Freedom, published at Lawrence, X.
T.:
Laurence.
Our streets and dwellings, and places of bus
mess are crowded with strangers. Lawrence
is the headquarters for the thousands and the
this point they diverge to all places in the Ter
ritory. Does the pioneer wish to go to the Up
per Neosho, Emporia or Burlingame? He comes
to Lawrence. Does he visit Manhattan,
Wabonsa, Topeka, Tecumseh or any of the
places west of usl He comes to Lawrence and
procures his outfit here. Does he wish TO go
south to Hampden, Neosho City, Centropoiis, or
any of the new towns south OF course he
comes to Lawrence, for, from here there are
teams constantly going out loaded with passen-
gers and baggage.
"Why is everything going to Lawrence q
inquiries the citizens of Lsavenworth. why
do they exhibit such haste to get away from
here? They never stop to buy anything. A
perfect Juror seems to incite them to get away
/ from u.s. But, at Lawrence, where expenses
are much greater, in consequence of the endless
numbers hourly arriving there, all are anxious
to reach that poin: 1t seems the goal OF the
hopes of the pioneer. The altama thule of al
| their aspirations"
Our friends of Leavenworth see the thing as
it is. Lawrence is the great point of attraction
in Kansas. 1t has the reputation in the NORTH
and East of having "back-bene." The people
here have stood in defense of the RIGHT, and
when other points have given way before op
posing odds, she mas stood invulnerable, and re
ceiyed the shafts of official outrage and tyrann
cal misrue, and increased in strength as new
difficulties have gathered round her. Lawrence
has, in fact been the Thermopye of freedom
in America and she stands to-day as proud as
ever in vindcaton of the principles which gave
her being. 1t will continue the leading point
in the Territory, and her destiny is one which
the 'untry will have occasion TO be proud OF
AS years roll on our people will point to hei
Notifications and the monuments of last years
violence as peculiar proof of the stormy time
through which we have passed, and triumphed
u The Kansas river is low and entirely un
navigable. Freight and passengers should SHY
to Delaware or Leavenworth, as there is little
hopes ofnayigating the Kansas river the presen
season, and the overland distance is fourteen t.
fifteen miles less to Delaware than to any psin
below that on the Missouri river.
- The winds continue to blow the dust flies
and the prospect is quite cherries. We neeC
rain and warm weather.
; adjourned.
The land sales, as will be seen by the adver
tsement, are adjourned one month. We wish i
were possible Tor bona tde settlers TO go forW arr
and empt every claim, and thus keep it on
ofthe hands Of spectators. We dislike the ide
of other men profitng by the toll and privation
of the pioneers in Kansas. 1t would afford u
genuine pleasure to see the whole tide of eastern
emigration turned in upon the Delaware am
Indian Trust Lands, which are to be sold il
| June next. and thus keep it out of the hands Of
Hand sharks, who wish it for specializing Pun
poses.
: Ne,c Postmaster.
! We should have mentioned last week that tn
: gentlemanly and obligng postmaster at Law
, renee, G. w. Babcock, Esq, has been remove
r to make room for DIR. Garvin, the only pro-saver
man residing within our city limits 1t seem
1 the policy OF the administration at Washington
} to impose upon us pro-savery officers, and thos
: whose hands have been the most deeply Undue
in the blood of Free State settlers are given tn
) highest posts. Did the Democratic party of tn
: North understand this to be the lin
of policy Of JAMES BUCHANAN when castn
their votes for him last autumn
Eg' The overland emigration is daily arrivin
in large numbers The two ferries at this pOiu
, are busy from morning until night passing owe
Il loaded teams who have come mostly from Iowa
& The overland emigration from eastern Iowa
Il Wisconsin, Illinois, &c, will not begin to Al
rive till the middle or last of May.
