the poor drunkard, many of which are now
enjoying the sweets Gifts reforming influences.
We feel greatly the want Of a paper devo-

Division room, has attracted our notice and
the names of six are herein sent to you.

THE RESULT.

Some of the Free State men had de-
tcrmined to 60 into an election, if there
was anything like prospect of fairness; =.
All who have expressed an opinion on this
bill, declare it impossible to 60 into cleo
ton with the slightest hope of not being
overwhelmed by Missouri voters: Tha
bill appears framed to further such g pur-
pose. There is no doubt but it is conten-
plated. The whole of the election will be-
in the hands of the bogus pro-slavery Off
cials. These are almost invariably the
meanest men in the several localities. No
honest pro-slavcry man would take Office
on such terms. If this is the pro-slavery
programme and there can be no doubt of it
there are some heavy clouds darkening the
future, which the double-faced policy Of
GOV. Geary will be unable 10 dispel.

LOCAL INFORMATION, MAPS, &C.

The emlgrant to a new country, feels at
once the need of accurate information
| To meet this want Messrs. E. B. Whitman
and A. D. Scarf have opened Offices at
IWyandotte and Lawrence. W. F. NJ. Ar
my, Esq, will also have similar office at
Lawrence. They will furnish guides and
teams on reasonable terms. They have an
extensive knowledge of the country and
will give reliable information to all who
seek it, for small fee. Mr.. Scarf will be
found at Wyandotte ready to serve all
iwho desire his aid. Whitman & Searrs
Map is the best yet published. Every
one should procure it who travels in Kan
sas. Ar excellent pamphlet by Dr.Webb
of Boston, and book on Kansas by the
Rev. G. B. Boyington, contain much val
liable matter.
To the emigrant and the capitalist, alike
Kansas holds out the most tempting in
ducements. It's magnificent physical re-
sources, its proximity to the great river Of
the continent, its prospect of speedy
Railroad connection, with the Atlantic
cities, and its 10000 capable, enterprising
and intelligent people, guarantee sure
and rapid growth. The schools the church
and the refined social circle are already
there to nuture, protect, and develope the
growth of model commonwealth. There,
if anywhere in the West, life will be sur
rounded with fine conditions, and enter
prise and industry will reap sure har-
vest Of competence and wealth.
