KANSAS MEN IN BOSTON.
CorIespond..ss Of The y Y. Tribune.


BosToS, Jan. :, 1867.
old Brown Of Osswatamie is in town. He is
hale and vigorous old man Of fty-seyen, of spare
figure. with piercing daIkbla eyes, and face eI.
pressive Of indomiable VIII. He is accomp .nied by
ore Of his sOns. 1t is proposed BY the friends of
Free KaLsas here TO presen. him with purse, TO
enable him, il Kansas is sgain invaded, 10 continue
his invaluable services for Freedom. Certainly
there is no man more deserving Of such testimo-
NAL.
Gov. Robinson is here. His views of Territorial
sffaiIs very encouraging. He seems inclined 70
believe that Geary 10 disposed 10 act impartally,
far as bis oath of Cice will permit him TO do 80. Ii
the be gus code of the RUtans was repealed, and an
act passed BY Congress to preserve, at all hazards
the purity of the ballot. box there would soon 0e no
difficulty nor apprehension of future trouble be-
tween the friends of Freedom and the mlnions oil
slavery. The Free State men Outnumber their OPP
ponens in the proportion at least OF ten to one, but
hot one Of them will vote appeal to the courts
until their political rights are secured TO them oy
Congress. They will not vote until the test-oaths
sre repealed. They will not swear to pursue the
painting fugitive from despOtism, even to secure
their own rights and liberties. They are Republi-
caIs by birth and 10 creed, and VIII not become
Dougbfsces in order 10 vote.
Governor Robinson has resigned. Lieut-Gov-
ernor Roberts is now the Free State Executive.
Governor Robinson's time is absorbed in the busi-
ness sppertanipg to the establishment of the new
town of QuindarO. 1t is situated on high bluffs on
the banks of the Missouri, about three miles above
it's union with the Kansas. There is no secure
landing at the mouth of the Kansas. 100000
have all eady been subscribed investments ia the
town. Arrangements have been made 10 have
hotel erected before Spring, saw-mill, grist-mll
ard machine shop. A manufacturer of paper in
this vicinity will build mill worth $4,000 in May
June next.
The Free State Legislature will meet at Topeka,
receive message from Governor Roberts, memo
rialize Congress, and adjourn.
Toe Border Ruiiians will assemble at Lec0mptOn
about the same time. What they will do. when
they will adjourn, or what they expect from Con-
press we do not know and do not care.

Mr.. Robinson, " sectional cane to their eloquent

For months the Committee in Kansas have been
disbursing TO the needy settlers, or the wants OF
the Free state cause such funds or articles "a came
10 their hands. During the Summer and early part
NJ the Fall the amounts thus TO disburse by COM
mittees were comparatively small much oil what
was raised being used TO send and aid emlgrant.
coiug into the Territory, and the larger portion OF
What was sent directly to the Territory finding ITS
wsv through private channels For nearly two
months the committees baye kept on hand and dis.
tribpted large amount of goods clothing OF all
kinds. and also articles Of food. The amount thus
distributed reaches TO very many thousand dollars
in value Considerable sums OF money have
reached the Territory beside the clothing, part Of
the latter being employed to purchase provisions
and other articles MS 1t has been Inc determination
for some time back TO distribute nearly all that was
Given in the shape of some necessary article, geDer-
ally food and clothing.
prior 70 his departure for Chicago, Mr.. Army,

Messrs. Hyatt and Army have taken great deal

Gently, been members OF Capt Walkers compan!
