The enow being some fourteen inches deep, it was impossible to follow the trail, and the horses bemg broken down, there being no forage, he came into the settlements to refit.

But what Nebraska lacks in agricultural, it is said to possess in mineral wealth. As far as tho political destiny of these new terri- tories 18 con! , the general appearances are Eee neither of them will ever come in as a slave State, The soil of Kansas may be very well fitted for Lemp, but evenif hemp shoula be cultivated—which for the present is almost out of the question, siace all settlers begin with the raising of cora—but oven if, by and by, bemp should be cultivated in Kansas, { this world not be suificient to make slave labor generally a Nor can the few slavea who are brought here out of spite by some stabbora slavery propagandist, stamp it as a slave State. It is understood here, that Kansas will be essentially a farming country, and that the haod- ss of cate are bg b shy) brought ere at a |, Dot al y but simply for the fanatical and Fdledout par. pose of giving to the North an exaggerated of their power to extend the institution. In the instance of Kansas, the fanaticism of the South for ) universal slavery will wreck againat the decree of Pro- | vidence, who, as if to aseist all hovest men in their opposition to the iniquity, bas unfitted the soil of ansas or Nel for any labor which is not the | labor of freemen. Let them, therefore, bring their slaves along. The miserable bravado will oaly hurt the short-sighted men who follow blindly their bad pee or their rotten political leaders, witaout re- erence to their own benefit and to the beneiit of their fellow men. Their dictatorship in the territories, although backed now by the pro-slavery or; throughout the Union, and altheugh sup v0: by the barracks of Fort Leavenworth and Fort Riley, and by all these government emp) whose conscience and Shed wea ga of pan ap alia so elastic that give way under reasure of a acanty salary, will nevertheless be of sho:t duration. God Almighty has decreed that Kansas and Nebraska shall soil. The soil is unfit for slave labor, and those who attempt to force slave labor into it, | will aocn be ruined of crowded out by the superior intelligence of the emigrants from the East. Those emigrants have not arrived yet. In the meanwhiic the folly of the sham emigrants who set settlers of the country is ccr- tainly not free from mischief. They number al- ready from three thousand to four thousand, chiefly drawn from the most characters of Afis- a ieee Kentucky. Men who cannot stand the control which civillzation im; upon every citizen, and who revel with delight in the license which frontier life holds out to all lawless tendencies. They are squatted all over the Terri- tory, marking out tracts of land, which they never intend to cultivate, roving about like ruthless savages, drinking like beasts, swearing like furies, convening savage meetings to proclaim siav. heavenly blessing, to denounce op; ts of rey extension as oriminals fit for the 8, to prosti- tute and intoxicate the Indian women, and to dese- crate with their banditti presence the inexpressible beauty of the virgin soil of Kansas. Another ot their wild meetinga is to be held to morrow at Wall uge, the seat of the Shawnee Indians, forty miles northwest of the city of Kau- coh es mischief of all this is not as great as i OKS. Mort of those people are the very scum of the worst ¢laza of speculators and peculatorsof their lespective communities. Here and there you find a less indecent speculator from,Ohio or Ilfinois; but even they don’t intend aettling here. Al) they want 19 to a a claim, and to make some money by Teee! it. In this scheme, however, they will find them selves grievously disappointed. No survey of the land has as yet taken place, and only the through | and ‘through practical and experienced farmor weed al tie mere loek at it, tell whether it is valuable, Most of the fellows who are here, are novices in the ecience of farming. The majority of them have no idea of settiing permanently. A few of them in- teno to goso far'as to break the ground open, and withont even raising fences they endeavor to grow some A boca for the purpose of selling it to the emi- grants. In one word, they want*to make much mone; with as little work a8 possible; but Tecklossneas and laziness bear within them the germs of destruction, and all Bod derived from such sources will fail here as they fail everywhere else.
