We sold out our interesfia the st. Joseph
Gazette, simply because we wanted to dis
solve the copartnership then existing. We
bought one-half of the. Herald because
we had the money, and believed it to be a
good investment. All the Luminary has
to say about the caucus arrangements, SO
far as we are concerned, are simply untrue.
What we have done; in either paper, has
been of our own voluntary choice, and with
our own means. - 'ss.,'.i- Z. .'.'-27
Our views on the Nebraska Kansas bill
were clearly defined in our valedictory to
the patrons of the Gazette. That bill SIM
ply gives to the people of the Territory the
right to manage their own affairs. If this
is getting off the National Democratic Plat
form, then we are off with both feet. But
where, does the Editor Of the Luminary
stand! with Fred. Douglass and his co-ad-
tutors of Chicago, in preventing Hon. s. A.
Douglas from speaking? Does he en-
dorse the Benton resolutions passed at St.
Louis on the 9Th January last, recognising
no one as Democrat who opposes the I'M
mediate organization of Nebraska or Kan
sas under ANY eircums tances And did
the editor follow off after Benton in oppo-
sing the organization of this Territory2 Il
he did, was it because he considered it an
abolition instrument, or that it did not favor
them? Just at this point the Luminary is
mum? -. e.'.yf ..---
B@ A Correspondent Of the Frontier

the signature Of Delaware" !" assumes as a
fact, that he is not in favor with the Herald !,
and that it IS not the exponent Of the senti-
ments of the citizens of Kansas, and he is
therefore compelled to throw himself upon
the generosity of the News, and then lets
off in strain of abuse upon the Goyerner.
"a His assumptions are far-fetched, and
without foundation, for we assume as fact
that Delaware never asked for place in
the columns of the Herald, and yet he grave
iIy says he is compelled to throw himself upon
the generosity of the News. This astute
gentleman may satisfy the people of West
port as to the truth of his statements. but
we apprehend he would have hard road
to travel, in convincing the settlers of Kan
sas. The columns of the Herald shall ever
be opened to respectful communications,
but never the willing conduit of vitupera-
tion and abuse. Other channels must be
sought for such articles. Eft article over
the signature of Delaware was written at
the Fort. it was only TO crafty the personal
pique, of some disappointed office seeker.
