Only a .'few dayslaince a large party (some hundreds) of Germans, who had started for Nebraska, left the steiimboat at the mouth , of 'the Kansai • and entered the Kansas insteaCor NebraSka, as they first conitsiplated. All, the emigm don froinaowa and Missouri is now to Kan - MS. The title of the Indians 'will expire in, Novemberond there are thousands of whites who will then cross. the river ,here Tout at' points above. Ati a, ferry ioniei few miles - above here, the fer i ry man informed me that he had daily averaged forty families 'across his ferry. This may seem ineredible,but it is true. At least 39 1 88 - . persons froM lowa alone are believed to hare 'crossed the riier for Kan sas befween this plaCe and Westport; and at this moment there are eight or ten thousand white persons new hi that territory. In twelve.months there will be a sufficient number of persons there to , form a State gov ernment; and, mark ; my prediction, at the next 'session. of Congress, Kansas will' be. knocking for admission into the Union as a _ sovereign State.. _ And now, gentlemen, you may ask how about slavery! Will their. State Constitu tions recognize slavery 9 I answer no. .I.on - the great Nemataw • Rivers_ there. is ,a I.rge settlements of Missourians; I was among them for three weeks; knowing the deep - in terest felt.through the country on this tion, I have made it, a special subject of in . ouiry, anal assure you :that _'l have never seen one person who is in favor of slaVery, who is now residing in either Kansas or INe bracla. Ahc Nl:s,,KAirians give IL up ,as a settled matter. j - You may also desire to knew which parts of the country are most to -be preferredfor settlers. This is a hard question to ans wer. In Kansas anywhere on the Vermillion or Blue River counties Or anywhere betweeti the latter and Gr. Nemahaw river, ,a settler lean - hardly go wrong. I prefer the last named place, and there I shall most probably end my days. In Nebraska there is much more sr, 'land than in Kansas, but as 1r eaid j)el there are large bodies of splendid lan d -• • L , parts of the territory. , - I may also mention another advanl which Kansas -has over Nebraska. All _ grants for. California or . Oregon leave the steamboatat the mouth of the Kansas, and . start from Westport, five miles from the mouth of that river. This 'is Col. Fremont's stating place. They felloW up the Kansas a ong distance, and ;then cross over to the Platte or Nebraska; but do not reach that river till' • they advance some •Inindred of miles west of the ,Missouri. The' great highliay between - the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, you will thui perceive, passes chiefly through' Kansas, and this secures to the latter the great railroad route. On ;this subject I- shall write more fatly in - a fiiture letter. It is, or ought • thelreat restion of the day..
