nopsis Of its main features: He recognl
yes the Territorial enactments, and all con

urges all parties to partisipate in the cleo

init the constitution to the people, II
which case he thinks Congress will not re
iect It. He earnestly impresses the neees
sty of removing the slavery agitation
from the Halls of Congress and the Presi
Dental elections. He says slavery will ul
timately be determined by the law Of eli
mate. 1t is this law that is now opening
for or against slavery in Kansas:
In case slavery does net exist in KANSAS
he has unconstitutional duties to perform
to its sister States, especially Missouri.
He trusts the constitution will contalr

A Fact Worth, Considering.

The Galena Courier says it may per-
haps appear like wbistling againts the wind
to attempt to convince Eastern emigrants,
tho have made up their minds to "moye
TO the West" that they make a grand
mistake when they 60 several hundred
miles INTO Iowa and Minnesota, and leave
behind them such chances as are to be had
in Western Wisconsin, and in fact through
the whole lead region. As good land can
be purchased in this county, or in Lafay-
cite and Grant, adjoining, for ten dollars
an acre as can be got in Minnesota for
twenty five dollars an acre, besides the adj
vantage of being several hundred miles
nearer market. Yet the great mass of en-
igrants rush through it as if it were of no
account. There are some, however, who
have been more wise, and they have reason
50 congratulate themselves that they pos
sess as handsome farms as can be found
in the country. In this connection we in
sert the following from the Mineral Point
Democrat.
"The editor of the Madison Patriot,
Who has recently been on visit to st.
Paul. Hudson, and Prescott, in returning
down the river, found that there were on
she boat number Of persons who, dissat-
isfsed with the appearance and prospects of
Minnesota, were returning to their homes.
He particularly mentioned "one man, by
the name of Green, from Iowa County,"
who "declared be could buy better land
within sight of Mineral Point or Dodge
vile, for ten dollars per acre-under fair
cultivation than he could buy within
twenty-five miles of St. Paul for twenty
five dollars per acre.
''The man was right. Nowhere in the
vest is there better opening for farmers
than in the lead mining region of Wiscon-
sin. The prairies Of the Northern part OF
Lafayette County, all the country imme-
diately around Dodgeville, and the hills
and bottom lands as well as the prairies
near Mineral Point, are as well adapted to
agriculture as any lands in the West. A
failure of crops is misfortune unknown as
yet in this County. Although all the best
Land here is taken up, yet very little is IN
der cultivation, and farms can be purchas- 1
ed from the second hands at reasonable
rates. The Increased cost over Govern
ment prices is more than made up by the
fact that we have now Railroad compile
ted, to take away all surplus to markets of
the East and South, which gives certain
iy of ready sale and cash for the farmers

you cannot get one unless you go back over
one hundred miles; every quarter section
section for that distance back is occupied
by hardy Free State man who will fight
for his rights. Last evening had the
pleasure of listening to an address from
the Hon. JAMES II. LANE, in the city of
Leavcnworth. He opened by thanking
God that the time had come when free
discussion was not prohibited in this city,
where last summer it would have been in
lstant death for man to have uttered his
Iopiuions; and Il any of our dcughfaces OF
the north asks what has caused this great
change, answer because the pros slavery
party have become weak and the Free
State party has grown strong. Let them
remember this is the city where the Free
State press was thrown in the Missouri
river-the place where a peaceable citizen
was cut to pieces with hatchets for attempt
ing to exercise the rights of a free born
citizen-the place where the ashes of their
dwellings are yet to be seen, and the blood
is not yet washed from their hands; the
place where a pro-slayery man last sum
mer murdered a Free State man and
scalced him; but thank God the scamp
landed here yesterday and was arrested
Think not, gentle reader, that this is a fan
cy sketch. No body here denies it, but
boasts of it as a heroic deed.
I will not attempt to give detail of
Lanes speech, hut Suffice it TO say, he told
them of their rasca.ity from beginning to
end, and told slten the policy Of the Free
State party; and that was simply to Keep
away from the polls the first Of June and
attend the Topeka Convention on the
10th, and there and then they intended to
die rather than rum He told them plain
y not to wake up the lion, for when he
cared again there would be death in that
oar He closed his address without any
and quietly retired.

bids fair TO become a second ST. LoUis.-
