mountains of Vermont as an inveterate
horse dealer, was one day called upon. by
gm amateur of the ‘.‘ equine" in search of
‘something fast.” The result is told as
follcws in the ortliern Gazette :

trot her mile in. two minutes and twenty

‘nd 5119 «°°“1d_ 8‘0 ti mile in 2,20, were it

‘F Well, whatis it ?” was the‘ query,
__ “That mare}? resumed the jockey ;. “is
in every re ct a goodjpicce of property,
She has a eavy mane’, switch-tail, trots
fair and square, and yet there is one ‘thing
why she can’t go a milein 2,20.”
“ -What in the Old Harry is it, then ?”
cried the amateur, impatiently. '
“ The distance is too. great for the
time I” was the old wag’s reply.

Information for Emigrants to Kansas.
H. B. Hard, of Chicago, the‘Secretary
of. the National Kansas ‘Committee, has
issued a circular. containing much valuable
information for the benefit of- those who
propose to make their homes in Kansas.
In view of the contemplated emigration
from Connecticut and in answer to the
frequent inquiries made of _us, weshould
be glad to lay the document before our
readers, but it would take up too much
room for it all‘ in our paper. We will
try, however, to give a synopsis of the
statement of the Secretary, advising all
who are determined to emigrate, to com-
municute with Edward Daniels, the agent
of Emigration at Chicago. _
The territory of Kansas extends from
the 37 deg. to the 40 deg. north latitude,
and stretches westward from the Missou-
ri line 800 miles, being in the latitude of
Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland,
Delaware, and lower Illinois and Indiana.
Its surface is described as a series of ter-
races, rising from the rivers, and stretch-
ing out in level intervals, between smooth,
gentle slopes, almost the entire country
being arable land, with a drainage so
perfect that not 9. pond or swamp -exists
over’ its whole extent. In all parts of
clay abounds, afibrding cheap and dura-
this respect, a decided‘ advantage over
the States and Territories lying ‘north-
ward of the latitude of Kansas; a ‘bitu-
minous cosl is. scattered freely over. the
territory, indicating a. mineral wealth
which is sure to be the foundation of fu-
ture prosperity.
best. soils of Illinois and Iowa; it is
quite uniform in composition, everywhere
preserving the character of a rich heavy
loam. . . .
The first terrace above the rivers is
coveredwith an alluvial soil often 4 to
6 feet in depth. The higher terraces and
uploads have the common prairie soil of
‘the west; the subsoil is usually a, still‘
clay, in some localities mixed with gravel.
Patches of sandy soil occur, bnt- they are
rare ; lime is everywhere a prominent in-
gredieut of the soil.
There are numerous streams all over
the territory, but the Missouri is the only
navigable river, except that the Kan-
sas is navigable for small boats during
half the year, and may by means of
slack-water docks, be made deep enough
for crafts of moderate burden. The cli-
-mate is agreeable; the atmosphere is
dry and pure, being so far inland as not
to be affected by the moisture‘ from the
sea. The winter has short cold speils, but
is on the whole, mild, the summers are
pleasant and long enough to allow all
frosts.
. The dryness, purity and free circula-
tion of the air, the absence of "swamp
and stagnant waters, which we find in
Kansas, are conditions favorable ‘to
health. The experience of early settlers
also indicates a healthy climate. Cases
of bilious fever and ague occur more fre-
quently than in older settled countries,
but in most cases they are the result of
gross ignorance or carelessness. Let the
settler take‘ only a. reasonable care of
himself and family, and he will rarely
suffer in acclimation. ‘ On the contrary,
as has been the experience of many,'he
willfind himself rejuvenated, old com-
plaints gone, and endowed with a fresh
fund of constitutional vigor.
In comparison with Indians, Illinois,
and Iowa, Kansas is well supplied with
timber, which is principally found in the
valleys ; the abundance of ‘bituminous
coal obviates the necessity of relyiug'en-
tirely upon wood for fuel, and thus makes
it cheaper for building.
The soil and climate of Kansas are
adapted to most of the grains, grasses
andvfruits raised in the north. 'Winter
wheat, corn, oats, rye, barley, buck-
wheat, potatoes, sweet potatoes and all
common garden products, pumpkins,
squashes, melons, have been tried and
succeed admirably. Hemp and tobacco
may be profitably cultivated and the
new Chinese sugar cane would probably
be at home there.
Among fruits may be mentioned ap-
ples, pears, peaches, plums, cherries, ap-
ricots, grapes, cnrrants, and strawberries.
The choice and tender varieties of these
fruits may be grown successfully." The
grape culture promises to be a profitable
branch of business. The dryness of the
atmosphere ripeus the fruit and concen-
trates its juices to the finest flavors. A
fine nutritious grass grows everywhere,
yielding even on the dry prairies, two
tons of hay per acre. Clover, timothy,
and red-top grass do well where tried.
The winters are short and attended with
so little snow that cattle are kept with-
out fodder in many parts of Kansas. To
those who wish to raise cattle, horses and
sheep for market, the best inducements
are here offered. ,
The markets for produce are the depots
-on the route of the Santa Fe and Cali-
fornia traders, who reqnire 40,000 teams
of horses, males and oxen, and a corres-
- from $2 to $3
ponding number of men for their busi-
mess.
The cost of opening a farm, and living
depends upon the location. Breekin
costs from 32:50 t0 $4 '1‘ MP9; 1'3“
per hun red; sod fence
from 301:0, 40 cents per rod ; hedge est,
32 cents " per rod; stone fence 80 ‘cents
to $1 per rod : timber sells for from $_25
to $30 per, thousand, one-half of which
cost is in sawing. Oak, black walnut
and cotton wood are generally used.—_—-
Brick will bc cheep when business is fair-
ly started. Working cattle sell at from
80 to 100 dollars per yoke ; horses from
$75 to $150, males from $100 to $200
per head. ,’
Rents are high, and board in Law-
rence is from $3 to $5 per. week. The
Lawrence price current indicates prices
about the same as in Illinois or Indiana,
farmers products ruling somewhat higher,‘
perhaps. Flour, superfine, is $4 per
hundred ; wheat $l,50 per bushel ; com
50 and 60 cents; potatoes $1,25 and
$1,513, etc. Mechanics are in great (le-
mand, especially house-builders, smith,
and wagon-makers ; mgsons and carpen-
ters earn from $2.50 lb 33 P" dais and
indeed, all kinds of mechanical skill is ‘
much sought for and well paid.
Settlers are advised to start for the
territory as soon as the navigation of the
Missouriis open. If, says the circular,

and get in a few acres of corn, beans,

the 15th of April, and may be continued
until the 1st of June. Corn planted On
the sod yields from 30 -to 40 bushels to
the acre, or about half its yield on ‘old
land. Any farmer of ordinary capacity,
having his team and tools, and being on
the ground by the 1st of April, Will be
able to raise food enough tokeep his fam-
ily through the winter, till another har-
vest. The land is ready for the plow in
March, and continues so till .the first of
December. The ground may be worked
for all Agricultural purposes during nine
months of the year.
The Missouri river is always open as
early as the 1st of March, and affords a
cheap, comfortable and easy transit to
Kansas.
Emigrants are advised to take all nec-
essary household furniture, except very
bulky articles, garden seed, fruit seed,
and fruit tree roots.
Freights up the Missouri to Kansas
are from 30 cents to $2,50 per hundred,
according to the stage of the water. The
highest rates occur in March, October
and November. Lowest in May and
June. Present rates are 50 cents.
Through tickets are sold at the princi-
pal oflices of the New York and Eric
‘Road, in New York, Fall River route in
Boston, at a deduction of 25 per cent.,
baggage checked through. The passage
from New York‘ or Boston occupies about
-a. week,«of which four or five days are
on the Missouri river.
Freight may be consigned with proper
directions to “care Simmons & Leadbe-
._ter, St. Louis, Mo.”
An estimate of the expense of reach-
ing the territory by these routes. may be
formed by noticing the prices "of tickets
from the following points‘:
Boston to Ka.nsas,(approximately) $34
New York or Albany, 30
=Bufi’alo or Dunkirk, 24

The overland routes through Iowa or
Missouri, are by good wagon roads, from
-Burlington or Davenport, Iowa; the dis-
«tance is about 400 miles,’ and loaded
teams will make 25 per day. Persons
going overland should hardly start -before
the 1st. of May, if. green fe“ed,for the teams '-
is depended on. The expense is trifling
if provision is made for camping. Every
party should have a. tent, cooking ntensgls
and abundant bedding. They can live
in their wagons and tents hfter arriving
in the territory, until a. home is secured.
The best landing "point in Kansas is
Wyandota city,‘or Quindaro, near the
mouth of the Kansas river. They are
Free State towns, and hacks and steam-
ers communicate with Lawrence daily and
tri-weekly, at the fare of $3.00 ‘
Persons not familiar with the method of
acquiring titles to lands in new States,
we are apt to overestimate the difiicul-
ties, and suffer needless anxiety. Any
person who isa citizen of the U. States,
or has filed notice of intention to become
such, who is either the head of a family,
a widow, or’ single man, over 21 years of
age, may enter upon 160 acres of Gov-
ernment land, wherever ' he or she may
choose to select it, if not already occu-
pied, and-by residing upon and improving
it, secure the same at $1,25 per acre.—--
It is necessary only to make an actual
residence on the land, to file a notice of
intention to preempt the" same,-and to be
ready tomake the payment before the
public sale, which will be advertised for
three months.
The land ofiices of Kansas will be
opened soon, but at what precise time it
is impossible to say. Three months are
allowed for the payment of pre—empti_ons
after the offices are opened. The land is
then offered at public auction, after which
it is liable to private entry. Land War-
rants can probably be used in payment
for pre-emptions. No man who has made
and kept ii. claim by a genuine residence
need be in fear of losing it. The Settlers
will protect each others claims while nec-
essarily absent for their families,‘ or on
business. The Indian reservations are
now open for settlement. The Shawnee
lands south of the Kansas river and near
its mouth, will be 0 en for pre-emption in
a few weeks, and 0 er excellent chances
for farms. The 16th and 32d sections of
every township are reserved for school
pu1'poses, and cannot be pre-empted or
entered at the land oflice. Those who
settle on these lands will have a long time
for payment, but must expect to pay a
high price. We shall soon be in receipt
of more accurate information, as ts open-
ing of land ofiices. Messrs. E. B, Whit-
man, A. D. Seal, and W. F. M. Avery,
at Lawrence, will give settlers all neces-
sgry information as to country, locations,
c.
We have thus endeavored to condense
the information contained in the circular,
referring persons who wish to emigrate to
the quarters mentioned for whatever
more they may desire.
There is a prospect of a large emigra-
tion fromthis section this spring. Mr.
Chas. B.--Lines will leave for Wabonsee
in a few weeks.

of State Politics.‘ Though it was strong-

warmly on that topic, it does not think
the action of that really irresponsible con
vention, furnishes any reason for refusing
to support either the Ticket or the Plot-
form of the “ Union” Convention. Hear
it :—
The late Union Convention, which was
a large one, came to very satisfactory re-
sults, both in respect‘ to the platform
and the ticket, and with far less diversity
of opinion than we anticicipate. The del-
egates were generally strong men,’ who
knew what they ‘wanted to do, and they
did their -whole duty fearlessly. The can-
didate at the head af the ticket
ALEXANDER H. HOLLEY,
of Salisbury, is "well known throughout’
the State, particularlarly as having been
its Lieutenant Governor. V He attracted
favorable comment several years ago as
the presiding officer of a Whig State
Convention, when it was predicted that
it would not be many years before he
would be called to the Execntivc_ Chair of
the State. He has always been the con-
sistent advocate of free labor, and has
made reports and speeches on that theme
worthy of any of its renowned advocates.
As a friend of free soil and constitutional
liberty everywhere, he is perfectly reliable.
The moral tone of his character gives full
assurance to all of his_proi'essIcns on this
subject. He is _no time-serving Union-
saver—no timid opponent of slavery ._ex-

that he may be “ abolitiomzed.” We
are share that those who vote for Alexan-
der H. Holley for Governor, will vote for
a. goodaud true man. Mr. Holley’s.oc-
cupation is that of amannfacturer. V g
In a. similar manner, it comments"-up
on the names on the State Ticket, and
feels, as we feel, that in adopting these
names, it adopts no distinctive tenets of’
any of the four parties that are represented
onthat ticket. ,

There neverwas a. time when the pro-
priety. of going back to the foundation
principles of the government for a plat-
form of principles was more appropriate
than this—and the occasion is peculiarly
proper, being that of a union of men who
are agreed on these great national and re-
publican doctrines yet holding deiferent
opinions, in varionsgradatious on other
matters. ‘ ‘
The aims and purposes of the founders
of the government have been widely de-
parted from by the present National Ad-
ministration and its supporters——aud it is
necessary now to_ recur continually to the
original charters of American liberty,
namely, the DECLARATION of INDEPEN-
DANCE from foreign domination, and the
domestic compact for the government of
the free, -known as the CONSTITUTION of the
United States. ‘
Slavery has not a hiding place in the
DECLARA’l'ION—-bill; the CONSITUTION has
allowed it. a place in‘the STATES,‘ where it
is—aud when we proclaim the UNIVERSAL
LAW or LIBERTY, we have to "except. those
places which-the Constitution excepts.-—

tion of another foot of free soil with the
iron heel of the slave power,—foI' with

by any ‘true American or Republican,
Democrat or Whig. ' . .
The old Democrats, who have enlisted
in the army of freedom, desire particularly
to recur to the first principles. -They re-
member that Madison and Jefferson ex-
pounded the great ideas of Constitutional
State Rights in the Report and Resolu-
tions of1'l98, which were adopted by the
Republican Legislatures of Virginia and
Kentucky. If the government is adminis-
tered upon those principles, there will be
no bogus laws in Kansas—no Passmoro

in a free State that he cannot be kept a
captive there--no systematic efforts on
the part of the Nation Governinent to
force slavery in to free State and free Ter-
ritories under the hypocritical pretence of
non-iuteference and squatter sovereignty.
The platform of January 8th pledges all
concerned to “ abide by and maintain” the
law of the Constitution, which the people
ordained “in order to form a more per-
fect union, establish justice, ensure domes-
tic tranquility, provide for the common
