Judging by the patronage bestowed

that in eight days, upwards of one thou

ceived. What pro-slavery paper in
Kansas can boast of one fifth of such

with treachery and treason. disorgau-

Southern degradation. or absolute des-
potism, scarcely breathes afresh its
wanton vows of love of universal equal,

thousands of Free State men flock to its

dific ulties and trials, receiving no Other

Quindara.

This is the name of q new town re-
Gently laid out on the Missouri river,
two miles above the mouth Of the
Kansas. on the Kansas sEde Of the
river. Several of cur leading and In
| ffuential citizens are connected With it.
Il is believed by many that It is des-
tined te be the leading town on the
Missouri river. and the great center of
commerce for the Territory From
the amount Of capital already rep
resented by owners of shares there.
| it is evident that it is destined TO fig
ure conspicuously in our future histe-
y. Measures have already been taken
to construct good wagon road from
there to Lawrence, at an expense of
several thousand dollars. as soon as
spring shall open. A railroad is also
projected to the same point. The
landing is said to be equal to any
other on the Missouri river. 1t is so
near the mouth of Kansas, that steam
ers on the Kansas river will probably
arrive and depart from that point.
| The forests which cover the town
lsite are now being cut away. With
the opening Of spring levee will be
graded, and business will spring up as
if by magic. Kansas City has thought
to claim the commerce of Kansas Ter
ritory, but she is doomed, by the bad
acts of some of her leading citizens, to
neglect. Free State men. with which
Kansas is and will only be settled. can
not forget the villainous acts which
have been perpetrated in that town.
| We are glad to see new town built
| up which shall be her rival in every
thing but rowdyism.
/ We are told it derives its name from
the daughter of one ofthe former chiefs
of the Wyandots from whom the title
to the soil was obtained, and means,
in their language, a bundle of sticks.
There is difference in the habit OF
pronouncing it, but it seems more eu-
phoneous to call it Quin-da-ro, giving
the vowel in the second syllable the
Italian sound of a in far.
| Whether the early spring emigra-
Ition designed for Lawrence and the
interior of the Territory, will stop at
Quindaro, or pass on to Leayenworth,
must depend upon circumstances in the
future. 1t will be seen by advertise
ments in our business columns, that a
warehouse will be in readiness to re.
ceive goods, and that workmen of va
rious descriptions are wanted to en-
gage in business there at an early day.

~ Every day persons are arriv
ing in the Territory from the States,
and all tell of heavy spring emigra-
tion. Preparations are being made
all over the North to move to Kansas
in the spring. The people there de-
sire milder climate and a more fer
tile soil than they can find in the new
Territories in the more Northern lati-
tudes. While the climate here is
more genial to Northern men, it is
quite too cold for pioneers from the
South. The fillibusters from the South,
who visited US last spring, beat a
hasty retreat on the approach of win
ter. saying hard things of our climate.

Yindication.

The Kansas City Enterprise objects
to our position that Leayenworth City
| is nearer to Lawrence than Kansas City,
and charges us with trying to humbug
our readers into the beliefthat seventy
miles is less than forty miles. We
stated two weeks ago, that Leaven-
worth City was ten miles nearer to
Lawrence than was Kansas City. Of
course we have never measured either
distance, but we do know that
tcamsters unite in calling it forty-five
miles to Kansas City, while they call
it but thirty-fiye miles to Leavenworth.
By an examination of every good
map of Kansas, it viii be seen that
the Missouri, on which Leavenworth
City is situated, is considerably nearer
Lawrence at the location of that city,
than it is at the mouth where Kansas
City is situated.
We know too, that teams require
less time to go to Leavenworth for a
load, than is required to Kansas City,
andthat the hauling of freight between
the two points is about one-quarter
less in favor of Leavenworth. The
Enterprise suggests that a steamer
will be put upon the Kansas river in
the spring, and consequently. pass
engers and freight should be dis
charged at that point to go up the
river from there. Even were such the
case, we should advise passengers
to pass on to Quindaro, and thus avoid
the danger of being robbed and plum
dered at Kansas City. When the En-
terpriss desires to call US out on these
matters, we have some facts We shall
be most happy to furnish the public
in regard to the conservative char
acter of the people of Kansas City,
or. more particularly, of come of
her mos, prominent citizens. Kansas
City has many good men there who
were opposed to the rowdyism of last
season, and they have some of another
class who would desire to pass for
conservative. whose conduct has been
very reprehensible. to say the least.
The side thrusts of the Enterprise
at the editor of the Herald Of Freedom,
is. not q paying investment at this
time, and tends only to indnce bad
feeling where harmony is desired. We
do not feel particularly belligerent at
] this period, and trust such IS not the

"crape on their Faces. /"

4 friend of ours and citizen of this
place, who has just arrived from the
East. speaks thus Of ths feeling in
Missouri, IN regard to Kansas matters.
The gentlemen with four others, hired
Q hack st Jefferson City to bring them
to the Territory, and by this mode Of
travel. had sn opportunity Of easy In
tereourse with the inhabitants. They
were treated with the utmost polite
ness, not a question being asked as to
their politics. on the contrary it SEEM
ed to be taken for granted, that they
were Free State men, as none others
were now entering the Territory.
It was most amusing, says our in
formant, to observe the erestfallen ex-
preston Of their countenanees, as in
conversation, either with travellers OF
among themselves. they denied hav-
ing been in any way connected with
the late iny.sions and outrages in
Kansas. The moro violent pro-slav-
cry sympathisers, are quite downeast.
To use the graphic expression of our
friend, 'ethey seem to wear Grape on
their faces
Quite a iaughable incident occurred
to the party, the evening previous to
arriving at Westport. 1t appears,
that they came to point where two
roads diverged, and they did not
know which to take. One of them
proceeded to neighboring house to
make inquiries. and by mistake called
at the negro quarters, instead of the
farm house. The inmates, however
heard the question asked of the Ne
groes. The man returned to the car
riage, and Just as the party were about
proceeding on their journey, the door
Of the house opened and two men
| were seen to rush hurriedly down the
pathway, revolver in hand. They
reached the carriage. and upon seeing
the party, stopped short and burst int
loud laugh. One of the men step
ped forward and bowling politely
said - M
"Gentlemen, we are completely sold
and / must tell you the joke. We
overheard the enquiry made at the hut
as to which was the road to Westport
and concluded that You were party
of runaway niggers and that is the
cause of our abrupt appearance here. .
The travellers laughed heartily and
proceeded on their journey. On arriv.
ing in Kansas they came to the same
conclusion, that we arrived at some time
since, viz that Missouri has virtually
concluded to let Kansas alone, and
that the majority of her people are
ashamed of the part she had taken.
They have found that even a worm
will turn when trod upon, and that the
North, which has hitherto allowed the
South to control the government, is
becoming more and more aroused tothe
dangcr-cf this policy and is now de.
termined th at Kansas must and shall
be frea.

An intelligent merchant Of this city
remarked to Us the other day that It
was surprising TO see the change which
had come over the town since our diff
fculties here last spring. Then. near
ly all our produce was brought here by
Missouri teams. It was not unusual
to see dozen teams in town at the
same time. each loaded with -four,
corn meal. beans, bacon. lard and 9TH
er edibles, the surplus products of
Missouri farms. The proprietors of
those teams called themselves t'sound
on the goose" but they always de-
ported themselves properly while here
and frequently brought their negroes
with them. They always returned to
Missouri with higher opinion of the
Yankees than they had when they
came among us. Now. there Is rarely
seen ia Lawrence team from Missou-
ri. Our merchants and groccrymen
have ceased to encourage their visits;
the result is seen in the fact that less
than one-fohrth of the traffic is now
carried on directly with Missouri than
there was prior to the disturbances.
Another raid on their part would dis.
solve all connection with our people,
permanently.
For two years, while all other por-
tions of the country were suffering from
the pressure in the money market,
Western Missouri stood firm and re-
joiced that she had never experienced
easier times. But change has come
over their dreams, and what changel
Rarely has any portion Of the country
suffered more from the scarcity of
money than that same Western Mis-
souri, is suffering at this time. And
why? Have they less cattle or horses
to dispose of, or less farm produce?
Has the demand abated? Is there less
money to pay for stock or provisions?
IL there is it owes its cause to the in
vasion from Missouri npon the people
Of Kansas; preventing the emigration
of moneyed men to the Territory, as
also SO unsettling things as to dis
courage those having money in the
East from bringing 1t here and invest
ing it.
What, then. is the cause of the
pressure upon business men in West.
ern Missouri? It can only be traced
to the fact of the repeated disturbances
and the invssions by the people of
that State upon Kansas. While they
have impoverished US it has recoiled
npon them and they are now suffering
quite as severely as we are. Every
fresh disturbance makes US less de-
pendent upon them. and they derive
fewer advantages from their close
proximity with US,
Had the people OF Missouri cultiya-
ted our acquaintance and engaged with
US in reciprocal acts of kindness, the
prejudices now existing between the
two parties would have been measura-
bly, removed; not that the anti-slavery
men would have become apologists
for slavery, but they would have sup
posed that Shareholders could be kind
hearted men, who. though they were
pursuing 8. mistaken and highly OBJ
jectionable policy. yet on him was the
consequences. BY outrages upon the
Free State men they have aroused ev-
cry member of the party into active
hostility to their cherished institutions
and it viii require long time to break
down those prejudices.

Another Outrage.

We give, on our fourth page, the
particulars of an outrage, practised a
few weeks ago, on free negro, who
was residing with the Delawares.-
Another free eolored man, who, for
over year, had werked among these
Indians, was assaulted in a similar
manner, and under the same pretext.
They did not succeed in shooting him,
but, on the contrary, when the negro
was coming out of q house into which
he had gone, with gun in his hand,
determined to sell his liberty at the
cost ofhis life. if need be, they incon-
tinently sloped. The men were both
armed with rifles and revolvers, yet
they fed before the muzzle of an old
musket. tits said the negro came to
the conclusion that the neighborhood
was not safe one for him, and SO he
left for parts unknown.

JOIN G. BREcKENRIDGE, the Vice PreSi-
dent elect Of the United States, is nephew
of the Rev Robert j. Breckenridge, ID. D.,
Of Kentucky. The reverend uncle of the
Vice-Presdent is a great controversalist,
splendid debater, and if he had followed the
law instead of the gospel, would have led
senates as he has the church. So much is
the said uncle given to discussion, that he
would be fighting parson if he were not u
praying one.
1t so happened few years ago that the
uncle and the nephew were candidates for
ofice-not the same ollice--in the same dis
trict, at the same time.
The Doctor was up for the convention to
amend the Constitution, and John O. was
running for the Legislature. They were
candidates Of opposite parties, and were
therefore in danger of coming into collision.
One day they were on the stump together,
and the reverend Doctor took occasion to
deprecate all feelings of hostility between
himself and his nephew, who, he said, was
always successful whatever Office he sought;
and mentioning several instances in illustra-
ton, he added, "And during the war with
Mexico a regiment was raised in Kentucky,
and as soon as it was known that Mr. Breck-
enridge was appointed to its command the
Mexcans made peace"
Young Breckenridge did not wait for his
turn, but exclaimed at once, Ii Uncle Rob
