The Kansas herald of freedom., 1855-10-13
Great CIV and Little Wool.

All tie opposition papers have been
making the hair ''stani right upon end |
on the fat heads of the grannies among
their resders,-bs publishing string OF
nonsense called bill, which Il IS said
some feel ike their Believers has been
proposing to the Kansas legislature
The bin proposes to punish with death
every person who shall attempt to raise a
rebellion among the slaves of that Ter
ritory, entice them away. harbor them,
&c. The t'tar on the heef' papers have
published the bill in all its>detailS, cried
over it, boo-hooed over it, and made
such blubbering about the inid uitons
moonshinc. that their readers probably
suppose that such is really the law of
Kansas. There was some such thing
introduced in the Legislature of that
Territory, whether for the purpose of
setting the northern Abolitionists To over
flowing with "borror,'' or whether it
was done by some southern ultra fool, or
merely for the fun of the thing, does
not appear However, our fusion-fed-
eral-Hindoo papers have all wept and
wifted away in their affection at the
terrible outrage, and no doubt many
a granny in pantaloons has groaned over
the Goddess heathern of the South who
have passed such law.
Now, We dislike to do anything to
sLock and disturb their tender grief. for
we know that this class of martyrs 'loye
to be persecuted;'' y they love to sing
tunes ON the minor key but their great
"sioppage" in this whole matter is, the
shocking" law to kill people for inter-
fering with slave property did not pass,
but was kicked out by the Legislature
of that Territory.-N. II. Democrat.
| A friend from New-England sends US
the above item, and desires to know
what the facts are in regard to it. If
our friend has read the HERALD OF
FREEDOM he knows what the facts are !;
if not if he will send US two dollars the
HERALD shall be forwarded to him a
whole year and thus he shall be enabled
| to learn the truth Of the statement, as
well as thousands of other similar ones
which are in circulation in regard to
Kansas.
1t is surprising to what ends the politi
cal press will resort, with view of car
ry.ng favorite measure, or to defeat an
opponent. No regard whatever is paid
to truth. However much inclined the
n. H. Democrat may be to avoid the
odium upon the Democratic party which
the passage of that damning act to
which it alludeS, and however forcibly
it may make tie denial, the act never
theless passed through all the forms of
legislation by the bogus Legislature of
Kansas, and is as much law as any en-
actment~of that body. Instead of being
"hooted out of the Legislature, it
passed unanimously; and bill offered
by Col. CoFFEY to repeal the 1lth and
12th sections of the act, which in the
language of Gov. REEDER "repeals the
Constitution of the United States,'' was
voted down unanimously.
The offensive act is, Notwithstanding
dead letter, as in fact are all the laws
of that Legislature up to this date. No
man dare, as he values his own life, at
tempt prosecution under that law( ,
and no officer dare execute process up
on citizen of this Territory. 1t was
designed TO frighten the timid, but it has
proved "too big boo," and its pur-
pose is lost in consequence.
The n. II. Democrat can have no re-
gard for truth, or it would never publish
an article of that character, with all the
evidence before the public of its correct
ness.
