EMIGRANys GOING WEsT.-Mr. N. II. Williams,
OF this city, who is Agent tor the Oquawka Fer.
ry Company has given US the following item of
news in relation to the emigration going west at
this time. From April rs to May 26-;ust four
weeks-the number Of teams passing this city

300 wagons with 1923 horses attached,
4S q with lS6 oxen attached,
224 loose cattle, and As loose horses.
These emigrants were principally from llii-
| nos, Indiana Ohio and Michigan. large share
Of them destined for Iowa. many tor Kan
sas and Nebraska, some for Missouri and few
| for Minnesota. They usually had good teams
and were well acknowledgements Atlas.
| THE EMorIoNALs-The Spiritual Conference
| at Boston has been one of the most exhuber-
ent springs OF indescribable nonsense We have
ever met with. By the way, our innumerable
conventions, conference meetings, &c, answer Il
very good purpose IN letting off steam What
would all these excitable people do, if they
were obliged to mind their own business.
The President of the Spiritual Convention at
Boston is Mrs. Eliza J. King. In her opening
| speech she wanders off into chaos of indetna
bic ideas. Being woman, she is great on the
"emotionals,' of which the following is speci
! men:
Seeing, then, that the emotionals are a part OF
the inmosts of man, they should have oppor
tunity to express themselves in their own natu
raj channels. Undertake to eradicate the emo
! tionals, and it will be found that could this work
be done man would not be improved, but, in fact
| would be in a lower condition because of the
eradicaton; rather should the emotionais be
cultivated, intensified, and opportunities SHOULD
be enjoyed for their natural expression. Each
sect, clique clan, has its modes of worship:
For crecds and forms let raceiess zealots fight,
He can't be wrong, whose life is in the right
Persons who revisit earth for important pur.
poses have no desire to engage in wrangllng il
respect to mere modes forms OF relig iouS
expression, but they would cherish and encour
age the cultivation Of the emotionals in man.
Coming of the emotionals there springs mo-
rality; cut of the emotionals, morality has nc
| basis, it acts irregularly, unreliaby; but When
| it springs from the deepest in man, 1t Is
perpetual placid, ever flowing. ever swelling
stream. All the great moral questions of an
aye spring FROM the enlotionals The reiormeI
comes; he addresses the interconscious faculty;
it responds and says, 81 feel that you are right,
| you speak to my inmoss."
Swift, who reasoned upon the folly of the
the dread of death, sums up thus:
ut is impossible that anything so natural, so
necessary, and so universal as death, should ev-
CIR have been designed by Providence as an evil
to mankind"
photographic dispatch from St. Louis indica ties
the appearance of a Free State National Demo-
cratic party in Kansas, which proposes to enter
| upon the canvass for the bogus Constitutional
| Election against the outspoken Border Ruftans.
Here is another good result Of the published re-
solve of the earnest Free State men to ignore
this bogus Election. Up to this month, the
Free State National Democracy Of Kansas had
| lain as torpid as a frozen snakc-had given no
sign of exis,ence-and had not even a name
| No closeness and nicely of observation could
detect any sign of vitality in its movements. 1t
never organized, never issued call, nor even
a circular and Mr.. Ely Moore, who is Pierce
| Indian Agent in Kansas, and has been there
| from the outset, never avOwed himself Free
| State man, never uttered an audible whisper in
condemnation of the Missouri invasions, frauds
| and Border Ruilian outrages-never even peep
ed, except when he took advantage Of the iden-
| tity Of his name with that of another Eli Moore,
who was an out and-out Rufiian, and pcrpe
traitor of those outrages, to discredit the state
ments of the Free State men by an ostentatous
denial that he had ever shot anybody, as was
reported. He is nice boy, and his is partic-
ularly nice party, though rather late in thawins
| ont Room, by all means, room for "the Free
State National Democratic party" OF Kansas

DON'T PAY.-The Journal ald other papers
say that the people Of the West do not 'pay
up" but use the money belonging to the mer-
| chants OF the East in specializing in Western
land. AS a reply to this, we would say tina.
| the amount of wheat which arrived in New York
from the West for the year ending May LIST,
1856, was s3,94l,6 $40 bushels. For the year
ending May LIST, 1857, the amount was over
100000 bushels. This not only shows that
| the West "pays up,' but that the West is pay
ing up in manner never before equaled.-
