I had heretofore, from misin- fermaiion, suppt*»ed pre-empiions assign¬ able before patent, but on examining the act 1 find they are not. Neither does the donatioa act apply tu Kansas, but each mnde of full age, widow, or head of family, who has not had a pre-emption under the act of 184L and does not own 320 acres of land, and who has improv¬ ed and scttltii on it ngt to sell on specu¬ lation, but for his own use and  cultiva-

Besides taking only free males over eighteen, the iHreai number of appHca- tions compels this further modification, i. e..—I will receive only those emigrants who rendezvous at the places above des¬ ignated—ill either of which places, i.e., Eufaula, Columbus or M'o.';tgoinery, 1 will receive nil males over eighteen iipm any Suuihern State, who join me at the time above designated; their rations lo begin from llie times above named for rendezvous. Emigrants must pay their own expanses to the place and day of rendezvous. Those gentlemen in Cali¬ fornia and other States, forming com¬ panies to join me, can very easily obtain free iransporiation for their companies, by proper applications to the directors ••f the railroads over which they must pass. They give free passage to cattle and agricultural productions to fairs, and whv not to volunteers perilling all in iheii defence? Without Kansas and slavery, free nrgrodnmAvill soon crush out cattle, cotton, colleges, property and progress—drones will eat   up  tiie   hiv
defend its beneficiaries ; first, by send¬ ing the federal army to protect them, and ultimately hy giving them the right to bear arms, to vote, tesiify, make and administer laws—to eai out your sub¬ stance, to pull you down to their level, to taint tbe blood of vour posterity, and bring it IO a degradation from which millions of ages cannot redeem it. This is a question of races. Am I mad for perilling mr estate in the aitempt—call It linpeless rttiempt—in tninstiiil conser¬ vative insliiuti»n» to my chil'Jren ? But rather are noi you mad who eagerly :r'<ii.her vealih, not for your p')slerity, bul ihm free negro drones may have hoarded it? Are not you mad nho construct railroads, not for travel and commerce, but thai tht rank foiests may choke ihem up—you who build cities and palaces, not for a high civilizalion, but that grass may grow in the streets, and foxes look out ofthe windows?
Let every one awake to the terrible issues now upon us. Let us cease fid dling and dancing while RoiVie is burn¬ ing; let every one man the engines, Jet ail contribute according to his means. Let us awaken the prayers of tbe church, the enthusiasm of our beautiful daugh¬ ters;  let them hold fairs   and put in use

The way to quell the lury Ol Ihe iiinatic niid wild ^east, is noi to crouch and flee, but to turn and look him in thf-eye. for else he will spiing Upon and rend you in pieces; and de¬ pend on it, when once the Nortli catch¬ es Ine steady firm gaze of Southern Rea¬ son, her Commercial and conservative insiinct ^vill awaken and sa-'e us, our instiiulionsi and the Union, from her niitdmen.

And who is perilling the Union, hut the impious, intermeddlers, who lain woiild make ns accountable to ihem rather than God, for the trust which he has committed lo our keeping ? And is not slavery a trust give;, us of Provi¬ dence for Ih« benefit ot both races? Can republican equality, as yet, he perpeiaa- leo without sugar, coiton nnd cheap clothing, can civilization maintain its progress ? and can these be supplied to the world wiihout slavery ? Nay! slnveiy is the only school in which the (lebiis.-il son .if Ham, by attrition with a superior race, cm be elevated.

Look not to the slow, inadequate ac tion of political leaders; paralized by the shackless of party, we fear they can on¬ ly amuse you with vain scruples and "strifes of words," or only "cry peace! peace! when there is no peace." And yet, what politician so demented, thai he would renew old strifes to dissuade Stale action and organized defence, un der the vain hope ihat disconiiecteii in¬ dividual efTort could meet ihe emergen¬ cy ? And ret for this let not individuals despai"^, but rather let them increase iheir contributions and redouble their energies. Let chivalrous and hopeful seekers of fair climes come o:i and join our expedition. J have before told you what Judge Cato (Judge of the Territo¬ ry) says of thai fertile region. In his letter of November last, he says, "corn is.pleiuy at twenty-five cents per bu¬ shel. This is as fine a country as any on earth, the profii.s on its production far exceed that in the cotton regions. All grain, grass, clover and hemp, give large retuins—at least from thirty to forty dollars "per acie annually. I have seen no poor land; it all .seems richer than the best Chattahoochee bottom, and most of it is just like adjoining Mis¬ souri lands tha: now sell ai iwenlv lo fifty dollars per acre. The estimated average ofthe corn is one hundred bu¬ shels per acre, and six tons hemp per hand, worth $140 per tor.. I can give no idea ofthe beauty and lertility ofthe soil aiiii country ; good wells car. be ob¬ tained anywhere, and running streams arefiequent."
Dr. Walker, a long resident of its borders', and of high character and intel¬ ligence, says, "as far as health, climate a;-d profits of lab<ir fs concerned, Kansas is b'-iter Ihan an> part of the Union. There is no country where a man can he more independent, and make his bread and meat with less capital ihun here; ten or'iwelve furrows will make ten ba.-rels of com per acre, ^ne thou- s"d iiouna's ^IMU!'"

mechanies $600; white men $25 per month; any number of young men in the spring, can find leady employment at that price, and then they have other advantages. Kansas is the starling point for California, Oregon, Utah, and N«w Mexico—thousands ot wagons leave every spring—they cwry ihree millions of goods p«r annum l« New Mexico, besides immense e»viemmen< supplies to pay Indians and sustain our military posts.

Let every one wishing to go urge his neighbors to hold meetings fo apprfint agents 10 solicit every man's contribu¬ tion, either in money or note payable af¬ ter the emegrant3 are taken out. Con¬ tributions must n»t be to individual members, bul for the common benelit. I could by the last of March raise i thousand men, if tha contributions reached, say $150 per head—t'u' ihat would enable me to furnish all with their military and agricultural' outfit. I am asked, "what military and other service do 1 require ?"—none except that when he gets to Kansas, the emigrants shall begin s^me honest employment for a living—if it be woiking on his claim— that will give him credit to buy bread on. On his way there be is expected to be orderly and temperate, to attend the reading of the Scripture and prayer, night and morning, learn to fear God, to be charitable to our enemies—gentle with females and those in our power— inerciful lo slaves and beast, and just to all men.

A Drunkard's Speech.
The London Eijipire states that a drunkard found his way a short time since into a temperance meeting One of the speakers was defending ihe princi¬ ple ni moral suasion, and was. also, ex¬ patiating upon its effiscts u[)on the drunk¬ ard. The inebriate interrupted the speaker and broke forth in the following language:
"Moral suasion to drunkards ? it's no use, and it's worse than no use. I know it. 1 lell vou I am one of 'em. I am, I am, and I know."
The whole room was startlift^ intp perfect silence. In the pause the very fire seemed to hold its breath.
" I've been a drunkard these ten years. You know it. Yau've seep noe loafing about your streets ten years, and yo«'ve had a chance to try your moral suasion. And 1 ain'i the only chance, God knows. Yes, and you've ti ied it too. You know I used to want to knock off You haven't tailed to say kind words, and try your sausion. You all try it. The very man that sells me rum, says, when he pours me out a glass, 'Come, come, Jer¬ ry, you'd better not drink any more.' "
His profanity   was   terrible,   but   the equally terrible earnestness of his speech red not even the  chairman  to  re- t.
ou think a drunkard needs persua- din"||r There's not a drunkard in the country that's wonh saviiig who doesn't wish, two hours out of three, every day of   his  life,  that he   could  knock off.
How to Commence Busineiss.
Well boys, we doubl Hot th«l you would like to rise high in the world and become good farmers, merchants, dtc. Here is a good, motto for you, begin at the lowest round an ihe ladder and keep climbing; and here is a story which will illnslrate just what we want to say. One ol the most wealthy merchants of New York city tells us how he commenced business.    He   says:
"I entered a store and asked if a clerk was not wanted. 'No,' in a rough tone, was the answer, all being too busy to bother with me, when I reflected that if they did not want a clerk they might want a laborer, but I was dressed too fine for that. I weni to my lodging.«, put on a rough garb, and the next day went in to the same store and demanded if they did not want a porf«r, and 'No, sir,' was the respons; when I exclaimed, ha de¬ spair, almost, 'a laborer ?' Sir, I will work al any-wages. Wages is not my object; I must have employ, and I want to be useful in business.' These last re¬ marks attracted their attention, and in the end I was hired as a laborer in the basement aod sub-cellar, in every low pay, scarcely enough to keep body and souKogelher. In ihebusament and sub- cellar I scon attiacted tha attention of the counting house and chief clerks. I saved enough for my employers in little things to pay mv wages ten times over, and they soon found il out. I did not let any person about coiimit petty lar¬ cenies without remonstrance and threats of exposure, and real exposure if remon¬ strance would not do I did not ask for any tan haur law. If I was wanted at S a. m., I nevei growled, but told every t>ady to go hone, and I would see avery thing right. 1 loaded off at daybreak packages for the morning boats, or car¬ ried them myself. In short, I soon be¬ came indispensable to my employers, and I rose and rose until I became the head of the house, with money enough, as you see, to give me any luxury or any position a mercantile man may de¬ sire for himself and children in this great city."

CoMvMWBHT AaaAweairtirT.—Th« ingenious French milliners have invent¬ ed a hoop of Indiarubber. a thin tube in point of fad, which can be blown up or collapsed with great faciiitt. to suit ihe convenience of the wearer. When a lady wishes to pass through a doer or enter« carriage or aay other narrow place, she toU'.lies a spring which opens the valve and allows the air to escape. When the lady enters a place roomy enough for the fashion, she has only to put a delicate little pi|>e to her mouth and blow herself into the required siinpe. Could anything be more charming ?
