ALibeller.

The last Free State has pitched into
US personally with any number of false
and malicious statements which is char
acteristic OF Miller, its drunken editor
The article was probably written on the
day he was last seen rceling through our
streets from the effects of intoxication.
He has not asserted truth in his COM
munication, with the exception of his
acknowledgment of receiving several
city interests as donation from Messrs.
BALDWIN and others. The proposition
he represents US to have made in regard
to printing for Messrs. CHRISTIAN and
WooD is false in every particular, as is
every other assertion which he has made.
Had he been sober enough to have dis
cerned between truth and falsehood he
would have known such to hswebeen the
case. His sneaking pigmy soul need not
think of escaping just censure from this
time forth because of his insignifcance,
as We purpose doing him ample justice,
and presenting him before the public as
he is. He will never know what is due
from him to contemporary until it is
taught him by "hard digs" and disa-
greeable as it may be, we suppose it will
deyolye on us to administer them to him.

The Election.

The election returns come in exceed
ingly slow both for size lst and 9th inst
AS soon as received in full we shall pub
lish both sides, but until then We do not
care to lumber up our space with an i'm
perfectreport. Suffice it to say the pros
poets are favorable to the Free State par
ty, as the sequel will show.
In this city there were 557 votes polled
for Gov. REEDER. This will show favor
ably by the side of 42 for Whitfield.
We have heard of no disturbances at
either election. The idea of opposing
parties going up to the ballot-box on diff
ferens days.is novel to Kansas. but if gen.
orally practiced would save unnecessary
collisions and much excitement.
We are preparing a table of returns
which viii be published as soon as all
are received.

Winter Campaign.

The Emigrant Aid Company are NOV
ing for the Winter campaign. They
propose to send lecturers into every part
Of New England, where such services
are desired. By informing the Socreta-
ry of the Company at No. 3 Winter
street, Boston, of the desire for such
meetings. an agent will be sent as soon
as possible thereafter. This Company
has rendered invaluable aid to Kansas
BY interesting the people of the North in
its settlement, and should receive other
encouragement than such as has been in
too many instances extended to them.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1855-10-13
The Laws must be enforced.

We see that there is a determinations Oh
the part of the Abolition papers at Law
renee, and faction who act and think
with them, to resist the laws passed by
our Legislature. This state of affairs is
to be regretted, and the matter should
be Immediately looked into. The laws
must be rigidly enforced, and that i'm
mediately, or else anarchy and confusion
will spread over the Territory.
We notice in late issues of the Law
renee papers, language that cannot be
misconstrued. and will admit of no other
construction but of bold and daring null
LITIGATION. We now call the attention OF
the officers in that section of the Terri
tory to the matter, and request them to
perform their duty. If resistance, as is
threatened, is made, then let sufficient
number be summoned, though it should
take every law and order man in the Ter
ritory, and the offenders be brought to
justice. Atchison county pledges five
hundred good and true men, who are will
ling to assist in enforcing the laws though
death should overtake them in the dis
charge of their duty. Other portions Of
the Territory will furnish their quota il
needed, and this rebellion must aud will
be quaShed. If blood must flow, let il
run freely. Let each individual prose
lyle of the higher law doctrine, be sim
gied out and brought to trial where JUS
tlce wiilbe done, though Heaven and tie
Union should fall-SQaatter Sovereign.

Quo Warranto.

A gentleman visited Leeompton few
days ago with the view of ascertaining
The factthat the operations had been com
menced on the Territorial Buildings that
he might furnish the proper evidence on
which to base writ of Gao Harranto
from the Supreme Court of the United
States against the public officers, inquir-
ing by what authority they were expend
ing public moneys at that point, but to
his surprise no movement whateyerhsd
been made looking to the expenditure of
means, and hence no action could be COM
menced. The best legal talent in the
Territory are sanguine in the opinionthat
a process against the Territorial officers
can be maintained in case anopportunity
is given to commence proceedings.
The public mind has been agitated for
a long time on Kansas matters; but the
halls of Congress aud the Judicial Bench
have to be convulsed to still greater ex-
tent before this question is finally settled.

Map of Osawatomie.


Through the politeness of our friend
A. D. SEARL, City Surveyor, We have
been favored with Autographed map
of Osawatomie. The town is situ-
ted on the South side of Usage river,
with avenues running east and west par
allel with the river, and streets crossing
these at right angles. with several
squares and parks reserved for public
purposes. In addition to the map of the
city is a map of all that portion of the
Territory lying south of the Kansas-river
and east of Fort Riley. aud is the most
complete of any we have previously seen
of the Territory. Mr.. SEARL, from his
long residence in the Territory. and his
general acquaintance with every part Of
it, seems to us we'll qualified for getting
upa complete map of Kansas. and we
hope he well be induced to prepare one
Immediately after the completion of the
surveys.

Another Outrage.

One of the hirelings of the Abolition
party, who has been very busy during
the past week postingup and distributing
the Freesoil call for second election,
and also notice for the holdings of meet
ings in the different Counties to frame a
free State Constitution, insulIed our citi-
zens by attempting to put up some of the
aforesaid bills in this place. He was
Caught in the act," and large roll Of
his contraband goods taken from him and
burned before his eyes. 1t was with the
greatest difficulty that some of our citi-
zens were prevented from hanging the
culprit but he was permitted to return
after first denying any knowledge of the
contents of the bills, and promising to
''sin no more" lie mounted his horse,
and instead of going to the upper part of
the Territory, as he was paid to do, he
started for home going through Nilsson
ri, rather than travel on this side of the
river and risk himself in the hands of the
indignant squatters of Kansas. This fell
low halls from the vicinity of Leayen-
worth City, where his masters viii no
doubt be indignant at his treatment. We
think he has cause to congratulate HIM
self ON lucky escape from punishment
he SO justly deserved. Let future ennis
saries beware! forbearanee is not always
virtue l-Sgudtter Sovereign.

Back Nurnhers--Suhscriha-

Subscribers who have neglected to re-
new their subscriptions to the HERALD OF
FREEDOM, whose term expired with No,
80, will not be able to keep their files
complete, as last weeks issue was ex-
hausted long before the week expired.
We are entirely destitute of Nos. 33, 81,
35, 38, and 40. Persons missing these
numbers need not order them, as We can
not supply them to any one, save those
who purchase the file for year, and We
have buta few more copies of these left.
We would suggest that those who de-
sire the HERALD OF FREEDOM for another
year would do US favor to renew their
subscriptions Immediately, as we have
our stock paper to buy for the winter,
and can only do so with ready money
Old subscribers should incloSe two dol
lars in letter and mail it to the edi,er
direct, at this point. All moneys Loss in
the mails. if properly registered, will be
at our loss. "a ~
The new volume willcommence ON the
1st of January. But a few weeks will
intervene, and no time should be lost By
those who wish to do us a favor in sub
scribing, and themselves by being sup
piled with complete file.

pelegates to the States.

The Executive Committee of Kansas
Territory have appointed four Delegates
to visit the several States, aad Legis-
latures, to present to them by living
Witnesses the grievances of the people ol
Kansas, that they may have full knowl-
edge of all the facts. JoHS HUTcHrNsoE,
Esq, one ofour worthy expelled mem
bers from the House, has been appointed
to visit New York and New England,
and will leave on bis mission on Tuesday
next.
The press and people of the east viii
receive him as such. and extend to him
every encouragement in their power.

Voted for Whitfield.

An attempt is being made by a portion
of the eastern press to deny that Gov.
SHANNON declared himself in favor OF
slavery in Kansas. Will they be so kind
as TO explain what the Governor meant
when he wentup to the Pro-slayery polls
on the Isl inst, and voted for Gen. Whit
field as a Delegate to Congress, when he
was aware that w. declared himself un-
compromisingly for slavery in Kansas. in
the following unequivocal language, when
nominated at the Shawnee Mission. and
who reiterated the same ideas repeatedly
on the stump during the canvass in Coy
SIS hearing, and who, it is said, on two
occasions, at least, urged Mr.. Whitfield $
claims upon the voters of Kansas by
speeches Of his own. Gen. w. said /:
eff you place upon me the response
bility of the formation of platform,
gentlemen, you may rest certain that the
enemy will be met on the square-witll
only two slavery" and "no
slavery and that | will allow no other
thing whatever to distract the settlement
of this question:. | cannot, however,
denounce every man from the North as
an abolitionist.
1--WE can recognize but two parties in
the Territory-the pro-slavery and the
anti-slavery parties. If the citizens oi
Kansas want to live in this community
in peace and feel at home they must be-
come pro-slavery men; but if they want
to live with gangs of thieves and robbers
they must go with the abolition party
There can be no third party-no more
than two issues-slavery and no slavery
in Kansas Territory"

New Building Material.

We had an opportunity, few days
ago, says the editor of an eastern paper.
of examining new building material,
which, from its appearance, and the rep
resentations made 10 US, weshottld Judge
can hardly fail to supercede most Others,
uHless time should affect il injuriously.
1t is a manufacture of actual stone, by
the use of the same materials which ma
ture uses. brought together, and the pro-
cess so hastened by the aid of art and
science, that the results which would re-
quire centuries of natures slow work
manship, is effected in 4 few hours.
The invention is of western origin, the
process having been discovered by Mr
Ambrose Foster. Acting on the estab-
lished fact, that bydrated- (wet) lime,
when exposed TO the action of the atmos-
phere again, takes up the carbonic acid
which is lost in the process of burning
and Stacking, and so becomes endurated,
Mr.. Foster sets himself to work TO find
ont the proper proportions of sand and
lime to form a species of sandstone.-
These he found were one part lime to
twelve of sand lie also found that in
order to effect more perfect combina-
ton, the lime and sand should be mix
ed together in nearly dry state. The
mixture is then run into moulds and sub
jected to great pressure. When placed
ont in the atmosphere, chemical change
begins. The moisture of the atmosphere
enables the lime to again take up the
cafbonic acid, and the whole is transform
ed in the course of a few days into a
stone of remarkable hardness, cast into
the proper form, and in all other respects
ready for ordinary building purposes.
The surface now presents the appear
ance of whitish sandstone, while month
after month, and year after year, the
same chemical changes are going on, and
the blocks become harder and harder, till
at last they ale said to be as indestruct-
ible as granite itself The blocks area
SO, from their nature. imperyious to damp,
and one great advantage is, that from
their smoothness and beauty, lathing and
plastering become unnecessary, and the
outside and inside of a wall are made at
the same time.
Messrs. BLOOD, Morrow & Co., have
arrived in this city from Wisconsin, with
the right to manufacture this new spe-
cies of brick, and purpose commencing
work next week. With the natural ma
tcrial in abundance, and the great demand
for building material we predict for our
friends profitable investment of their
capital and skill. If success attends
their enterprise, of which there can be
no doubt, the appearance of our town
will soon be changed for the better, and
instead of the present unsightly residen-
ces, nice houses will be met with on every
hand.

A sale of lots is to take place at Le-
compton on the 23l inst. We would
suggest that those who do not prefer be-
ing injured by the movement, viii keep
aloof from that "elephant." If the
State Constitutional movement succeeds,
of which there cannot be reasonable
doubt, Lecompton viii never be the cap
ital of Kansas. That fact should be na-

Leavenworth Herald.

and its articles have another character
from that formerly assumed. Instead
of threats, il, has assumed that the pro-
slavery party has been shamefuhy
abused and ill-neated in Kansas, and it
makes piteous complaint of its griev-
ances. 1t says the Free State party.

expressed opinion of the Supreme Court

different day for voting. thus showing
their contempt of the law, and stand in
the position of nullifers, and traitors and
should be treated as such. They have
disregarded the authority Of the Execu-
tive and shown their disrespect of his
person by Kisses and groans. They
have created all the excitement and i'll
feeling which unhappily exists in the
Ferritory-they have ensendered all the
violence committed by their unwarrant-
able conduct and action, and upon them
rests the responsibility of all our diff
culties past or to come"
Now is not that decidedly rich j.? Free
State men the aggessors! On them all
the responsibility! Ye Gods Has it
come to this that the public press can
promulgate such falshoods and not receive
a visit from Jupitsr's fiery messenger
We should suppose the scathing light
nings of Omnipotence would sweep from
existence the last vestige of a press
which could give currency to such vile
slanders upon party which has submit
ted to every indignity, and is. but just
throwing off the chains which have en-
thralled it.

News from Big Blue.

Rev. MIR. LoyEJor, from Juniatta,
states that there is considerable sickness
along the woodlands and streams in the
vicinity of Juniatta, but few deaths. A
company from Cincinnati has established
a dry goods store at Manhattan. Their
sales the first day amounted to 5000. A
yeariing buffalo was killed within two
miles of Juniatta, the other day on the
Big Blue by one of the citizens. 1t was
hearding with the cattle. A pumpkin
measuring five feet in circumference,
and weighing le4 pounds was raised in
the vicinity this year. Crops are good
with the exception that the corn has
been injured by the worm. Grass is
still green and is tall enough so our in-
fromant could tie the tops together over
his head while setting on horseback on
the prairie. Work is suspended at
Pawnee.
