Whilst bitter political strife and an un-
exampled interference of sectional Adj
ministration in the legitimate business and
rights of the people Of Kansas, in framing
their domestic laws, Subject alone to the
Constitution of the United States, have
given it a worldwide celebrity, there has
also been attained for its great natural re-
sources a just and appreciative renown,
which has caused general desire through
the States to emigrate to the Territory

people labor under the misapprehension
that this immigration is very small that
but few people have arrived within the
last year. 1t is a great mistake. There
has been no immense impression Of idlera
led here by curiosity or general excite
ment; no inconstant, fillibustering, carpet
sack arrivals, carrying the idea abroad Of
tremendous rush ;" but there has been
steady, constant influx Of people, COM

Upon every psd leading hither has
daily been seen teams loaded with fami-
