A Kansas Newspaper.

We often entertain our readers by ex-
tracts from the Home journal, and we
might fairly enough call the Kansas Her
aid OF Freedom, the distant Home Jour
nal,-as the representative of Journaldom
in the wilderness latest attacked by civil
ization. 1t is very remarkable sign oI
the times,-and in trying to give ouI
readers some idea of it, we have the wish
that we may show how rapidly the sub
iusatiOn of the wilderness is going on.
The Herald of Freedom is a. paper as
large and as well printed as the Home
Journal, with which we compared it,
A year ago there was not resident
white man within forty miles of the spoi
where it is printed, except such as were
there for temporary occasion, as soldiers,
missionaries, and Indian agents. The
number before us contains advertisements
of books, fruit trees, bread, lime, lawyers,
physicians and religious meetings.
wide range of correspondence,-hearty
editorials, and calls and proceedings oI
conventions, good first pages, origin
al and selected poetry, and whateverelse
You have right to look for in a first rate
weekly newspaper.
Yet there is racy tang of the wilder
ness about the sheet, which does not
desert it even in the mail bags. We
commend again This interesting Journal
10 everybody WHO'S watching the growth
of Kansas. The subscription is but two

A Kansas Joke.

Major Andrew Mcdonald, member
of the Council of Kansas, after figuring
about ever since it has been thought thai
Gov. Reeder would be removed in order
to get a recommendation from the Legis-
lature and Council to be himself appoint
ed Governor of Kansas, and having got
the documents" along with the petition
to remove Gov. Reeder, started for Wash
ihgton. aad just got to St. Louis in time
to find a dispatch announcing the ap-
.pointment of JOHN L. DAYS son, Governor
OF the Territory However, the Major
has gone right on to Washington, deter
mined apparently not TO 'sgise it up so. .
As the legislative mob at the Shawnee
Mission are quite regardless of law, he
perhaps thinks hecan bluff off the Pres.
ident himself, and secure TIE exaltatior
to which heaspires.-Er.

Notification of Mob Rule

We copy an article from the Herald OF
Freedom, which counsels total disre-
gard of the aets of the mob legislature
by the people, on the ground, first, that
they have been nullifed by the xetoes of
Governor Rse1er. aud, secondly, that AS
the legislature was sitting In the Shaw
nee Reservation, it was in no legal sense
within the Territory The indications
are that thisFis the view which a large
portion Of the bona fde citizens of Kan
sas viii take of the matter. Indeed, it is
the only view they can take under the
circumstances. The election of the leg
islature was gross piece of fraud and
outrage, and It's proceedings since have
been an attempted fraud 50 far as they
have not been farce. In point Of legal
validity, the notification of these acts by
the people viii be entitled TO much greater
consideration than the acts themselves.
Therefore We hope they viii be nulli6ed.

A friend in New England has given

which he has our thanks. We love to

it always inspires SO much Eope. The
letter was not designed for the public
eye, but we know he viii excuse us the
liberty We take in making an extract:
81 am sometimes sickened at the sight
of few pale, palpitating youths who
have returned with dismal tidings from
the Eden of the West. There is one
consolation-what is our loss by their
presence, is your gain by their absence.
1t is useless to contend against their weak
ness, for it is strife against destiny
God never designed them for heroes, such
as can wW and dehieve the freedom of a
State. They are not the bone and mus
Gle of the body polite, but the mucous
membrane of some small intestine, never
designed to be seen even, much less to be
exposed to rough usage. / hope some OF
our witty boys in Kansas will write them
a hymn to sing on their return. Let IT
be soft as the sigh of a woe stricken maid
en-put it in the Herald of Freedom, and
it shall meet them in every village. We
think but little of the whining ours, and
would gladly improve. or berid of them. .

You think he was doin' ? Well, Sir, as
sure as you live he WAS out with his axe
whalin' away on big oak as hard as
he could crack it-jist like other men.
SAYS /, ssee here old fellow. are you
goin' for total exclusion ?'' "Well |
;sint says he. why not ?" said L.
Because says he, sit is anti-republi-
can it excludes men who are now citi-
zens of these United States, and if you
exclude one man or one class of men of
course you have the right to exclude
others at any rate. this is not ''equal
and exact justice to all men,

"As to that Sir, l don't expect to en-
gage in dragging men in or dragging
them out of the Territory-neither ne

try's bein' oyerrun with any one or all

equal and exact justice to all men ; now
whenever you can convince me that In
this declaration Jefferson uttered an un-
truth, then l abandon it instanter. The
organic act, of course you are aware, al
ready excludes the African race from the
benefit of pre-emption therefore you
are perfectly safe in that direction; if
you wish to set yourself up as a scdtth
dog for the Missourian's plantation you
have The fugitive slave act to indemnify
YOU just get your bloodhounds and

sal bug bear is big niggar at an cleo
ton; now, for my own part have
but little fear on that head we see
there are already thousands of free me-
groes in these United States who do
not vote; besides, if man is intelli-
gent and honest. why should we ask
whether he be Dutch, Irish, red, yellow
or black-so far as his vote goes. AS
to amalgamation all l can say rs this
the man who feels sensible that he
cannot with safety trust himself in the
