aWhat We need at this time is aid We
need good press, and candid snd dis

reveal the real character of the giant
wrong We want yoa, my friends, il you
have not already done il, to devise some

people who wipe out the God-oTdaiaed
relation which man sustaiDs to his broth

dark waters will, applied, continue to dash
till all political, moral, and social good

4 want every true friend of the slave
have share in the happy reflection, that
when the hills of Kansas were being
shrouded with slayish, perpetual night,
and her valleys were beginning to elank
with the poor man chain, then it was that
they had share in the great moral con-
fiict which gave freedom for the tears and
groans which would have went up from

as an individual, wish it to be the strug-
gle of the friends of Freedom throughout
this Nation. Let each man share little.
Let it be national victory-a triumph
of right over wrong"
Whether we can meet the wants of The
friends Of freedom is the question to be
tested, and it must be settled by those
who have the pecuniary ability to sustain
an enterprise of this character. What
ne want is a large list Of cash paying
patrons, and that Immediately. To pub
lisll a paper of the size of the Herald Of
Freedom weekly, and fill it almost exclu-
sively with original matter-which We
expect TO do as soon as We get fully estab-
lished-will COS. a very large sum- Our
bin of paper for this issue alone, at the
paper mills, cost rs one hundred and
eighty-nine dollars. Then there is a
large amount To be paid for labor and in
cidentals which haseto be met weekly.
The COST of our establishment will fall
but trifie short of ten thousand dollars.
Will not the friends of Kansas hear these
facts in mind, and work with zeal to place
the enterprise in the front ground, 50 that
