Two New Free State Towns in
Ksnsas


The boot, shoe and leather trade of
the city of Boston have subscribed the
sum of $4,000 to the stock of the
New England Emigrant Aid Conpa-
ny. They intend to invest it in the
purchase of two saw-mills, and in
making Improvements wherever they
are erected. Thus two new towns viii
be founded in Kansas in the Spring.
For, as soon as a saw-mill is erected,
a population hocks around it-takes
up claims, builds houses, establishes
stores, and thus community with all
the advantages of fEastern society, is
instantly organized. The money that
remains, after the purchase and cree
ton of the mills, will be expended
either in building a bridge, ferry,
in erecting q hotel or privgte houses,
according to the exigencies of the
time and place. a meeting of the
trade win be held at the American
House on Saturday afternoon, at a
quarter before two o'clock, TO select a
name for each of these coming muni-
cipalities.-TesegrGph.
A friend writing us from Boston,
states that the shoe and leather dealers
of that city have recently held meet
ing and deelded upon naming the
towns to be settled in Kansas under
fheir auspices. .CHAEIzs and BATcHEL-

Important INQUIRIES.

The Missouri press is showing indi-
cations of returning reason. Even the
.SguaHer. .Souer;gn shows this fact, and
is getting up bitter lament on ac-
count of it. 1t is really desirous Of
knowing whether that State is about
to desert the pro-slavery party of Kan
sas. The editor inquiries =
"Do they think that those gallant
souls on the border and those oi
us in the Territory who have been
standing the brunt of the battle, with
our bodies and our purses till both
are well nigh used up have been
acting against her interests, or wishes?
Does she desire that we shall cease
our efforts, and permit the Abolition
lists to take quiet possession Does
she intend to denounce those of her
own sons who have aided in the
struggle? Will she when the whole
North and St. Louis at her back, are
bowling on their scent, will she, too,
turn upon them, or refuse to endorse
them ?''
The Sovereign closes by saying -
eve will fight on as long as the
South sustains us by her approval,
when that is Withdrawn we will LAY
down our arms.
Missouri does not sanction the out
RACES which have been practiced here
for the last few months, on the con-
trary she is conscious that the action
of Atchinson, Stringfellow and others
of that character have done much
towards fastening the downfall OF
slavery in Missouri. The people ut
terly repudiate their action. The fact
that the editor rarely "hears the sym
pathetic chink of dime" should be
evidence that his course is not approx
ed, therefore he should "lay down his
arms" and retire from the field.

Is He a Negro 1?

The last Squater Sovereign rep
resents that we permitted a negro to
arrest" us last spring on our way to
Kansas "when armed with two revoly-
ers and bowie knife" If Col. E. IL.
Nc Gee, of Kansas City, who stands
so high with the pro-slavery party
along the border, and several other
persons OF the same complexion with
him. are aegroes, then the assertion is
true, otherwise it is false. The story
that we were arrested by negro was
set in circulation by Breuerton and
Henry Clay Pate. One of them boast
ed in our presence. while prisoner
at Westport, that he should set such
story in circulation for effect. Brew
erton had stated in the New York Her
aid that He Gee and two others had ar
rested us. We thought if he desired
to publish in the Missouri Republican,
that We were taken by negro, and
thus disgrace his own friend we could
not prevent it. He did it, and McGes
is the man who should punish Pate and
Brererton for applying opprohious
epithets to him, we shall not.
Col. JEKSrNs, of this. city, was with
us at the time of our arrest and was
made prisoner by the same parties.
Heis personally acquainted with Nc.
Gee, and knows that he is the man
who arrested us, but we never heard
the Colonel speak of Me Gee as being
q negro.

a Promise.

The Sqaatter SoUereign has long
article headed .'The Plot Thickens.' .
He closes with an appeal to Missouri,
to appropriate one hundred thousand
dollars from its treasury ''to aid in
defending its borders against avowed
negro thieves y It says. in addi-
tion -
"If she viii thus lead the way the,
South will follow and if we are thus
enabled to bring our Territory in as
. slave State, we viii show our graft
tude by making so liberal a use ofhemp
on these gentlemen negro thieves, that
We will increase Its market value suf-
ficiently to pay for all the negroes
stolen by these worthless -
