TIE amend Honorable.

Our friend PORTER, OF the West6eld
News Letter, comedies that his statement,
made sometime since, that "the editors
in Kansas are hired to stay there and
concoctlarge stories for the Emigrant Aid
Company" was probably" incorrect.
and bases his reasons fer arriving at such
a conclusion upon a private letter from
us. Very well, we will be content with
a partial correction of the wrong he did
US, not probably" intentionally, but
nevertheless Crong. Having corrected
himself SO far we take pleasure in with
drawing all the harsh remarks We made
against Mr.. PORTER based upon that in
yidious remark of his.
DIR. PORTER seems to think it our duty
to regain our "old home" in Penn
syivania, and return to it, rather than
continue to sink money in Kansas
That may be his idea of duty, but it is
not ours. That ''old home" in Penn
sylyania is ours still. and we can return
to it whenever we choose, but we wegtd
prefer to part with it and expend the pro-
ceeds in laboring to make Kansas free
State, though it should be necessary to
sink every dolar'in the enterprise. Our
ancestors pledged their lives, their for
tQass, and their sacred honor" towards
securing the freedom of America. We
haze adopted Kansas as our permanent
hame, and similar VOW to that taken
by them is registered in heaven as
taken BY us for securing the freedom
of this Territory. That VOW shall be
fulfilled to the latter, or ALI shall be sac
rifced to attain it. What is gold, o.
honor, or life even compared % freedom
"Give me Liberty OF give me>Death'
was the emphatic language of Pa<lci
Henry. He did not expatriate himSeG
for the purpose of securing freedom ant
saving life, and he is cowQrd and siav
who will do it.
Many have come to Kansas, and afte
learning the imaginary dangers that ell
vironed them, and fearing determination
from the "border rufans," have appa
lrently adopted the motto that
He who fights and runs away
May live to fight another day"
hence their exit from the Territory wa
rather hasty. Whether our friend O
the News Letter adopted that motto W
are not advised, but the fact Of his leav
ing our beautiful country SO hastily, an
his advice TO us to do the same. would b
strong circumstantial proof against him
Friend PORTER, "the Ratchet is bur
ried and the pipe of peace is smoked.
You look after Massachusetts, matters

interests of Kansas. We are satisfe
that our residence of nearly one yea
