" 1t will be seen at glance that there
now remains but little hope for the friends
of freedom. Her destiny is evidently
sealed-her virgin soil and salubrious
cline will soon be desecrated by the ac-
cursed institution of human bondage.
Soon the gentle zephyrs that now grace
fully fan the wild untrodden prairie, viii

chains, and of the oyerseer's lash 1t

honest white laborer who obtains his
bread by an honest livelihood. No long
er Will it be mart for trade. No longer
will the enterprising young man repair to
this at present inviting field to seek a
home and his fortune in the far off West. +"
Thus diseourses an alarmist print of the
East, in the course of rather lengthy
article. Why it should do SO We are at
a loss to say. People of all shades of pol
itics, here in Kansas, freely and unhesita-
tingly say that this must be Free State.
The prospects of freedom never were
brighter than to-day. The world does
move and that Alright. Error may for a
time hold sway, but Truth will eventually
prevail. We are not of the responding
class, but are ever hopeful of the right.
No person well acquainted with the
state of affairs in Kansas would have, in
truth, written the above, and we do entreat
the friends of freedom to be cautious how
| they give circulation to such injurious re-
ports. Such accounts from professed friends
are doing much to retarsl the prosperity of
our growing country. From reading the
above article from which we have extract
ed, one would be led to believe that our
case is hopeless. 1t is, however, a will
full pcrversion or the emanation of ignor-
ance. If Eastern papers cannot speak of
Kansas without making prophecies which
will never be fulfilled, we advise them to
be silent. Fate has decreed it and it is
useless to further strive,'' said one of the
leading border rnffians, few days since,
when speaking of the certainty of Kansas
being free. Look at the results of the
last election-see the meager handful,
when compared with our whole popula-
ton, that is thus represented. Does that
indicate that those woeful forebodingS are
correct ? Come to Kansas and converse
with the inhabitants about this matter
and if the most dubious have not their
doubts dispelled we will be much mista-
ken. Let the Contemplating young man
repair to this at present inviting field"
and do not endeavor to discourage him.
The cry about slavery in Kansas at the
present time is all humbug. Unjust le-
gislation will have no effect in preventing
an expression of the popular will The
people of Kansas are determined to have
a voice in this matter, and that voice will
be for the right

The singular turn Kansas affairs have
taken recently must need TO bring many
citizens of Missouri ludierous reflections.
They have only to look back through the
vista of the past year, at the amount of
patriotism wasted. money expended, and
whisky spilled-for nothing, unless it be
the enrichment of men who duped them,
to see much 10 regret. ROLLINS, said in
his speech here that up in the counties OF
