FRIEND BRowN:-It is very common
remark among the ac.ual settlers of this
Territory, when interro5 gated as to what
they think of the country. what sort of a
claim they have, &c, to ay that they are
delighted with everything they behold
that it is most beau iiul country, aud
that their attachment To, aud admiration
of it. increases every day. But they
think the particular locality where they
have located tl.eir claim is far superior
to any other part. Now this is just as
it should be, AMI the con rary Of this
would be most disastrous, for in that case
Improvements would be suspended and
much time lost. which now is employed
for the benefit of tie settler and the
country generally. Hence it is very nat
ural for persons when writing to their
friends at home, or in addressing them
through the columns OF the public press,
to invite them tosetlle in their neighbor-
Ieod, urging the depth and fertility of
the soil. the bean of the scenery, the

Eard to Please.

Our nei.hbor of the Free State is
difficult to please. When we commen-
ced the publication OF the HERALD OF
FREEDOM in January last, the Free State,
the week after, charged us with being
neutral or conservative on the slavery
question" while, for itself, it was to take
the most ultra ground. Now we find
its principle editor eo-opera ing with the
pro slavery party and associating with
men OF that stamp principally. doing
heir printing DC, and occupying a
conservative position, Or Hate m,rs
so, while it is denouncing the Herald for
being ianatica on the slavery question.
And yet we are not conscious Of any
change in our feelings or actions. When
our journal was commenced last winie,
The political elements were resting qui-
city. AMI there was no occasion to DIS
cuss the subject of slavery. There were
other matters before the public which
was paramount with Us at the moment,
and these interests we labored to sub
serve, fully conscious shat The other
question would be forced upon US in
good time, and wien legi lmateIy before
lie public We would be the last to cea
The agi ion.
We labored in the winter to encourage
emf misra.iun, and the Free State found
.auit with US Tor stimulating it, and de-
nounced u week y for 80 many pion sers

months We thought i. impolitic to en-
courage emf grafton and as more press
ing mat ers were before the public We
booked after those matters. Ii Miller

State. Those who are familiar with the
history of that event. viii recollect that
no offence was dreamed of being COM
niitied against the laws, until an effort
was made TO supplans the old govern
meut By force Of Orms. Treason is de-
fined by Congress as an offence by ''per-
sons owing allegiance to the United
States who shall levy war against them,
or shall adhere to their enemies, giving
them aid and comfort" and this is the
only law touching the subject in force
in Kansas.
Gov. SHANNON, with all bis folly and
subServiency to the slave power. Is not so
idioiic as to suppose that movement Of
the people to frame government of tleir
own. which they purpose submitting to
Congress for its approval. before they
expect to make move to set the whoels
of government in motion, is reasonable
or in=urrectionaIy in its character. On
the contrary lie well knows tLat it is the
expectation that the organic act. by
which lie las any authority above a
private citizen, and all the lars. if any
such there are, enacted under it, will be
repealed at tie same time the State Con-
stitution is adopted by that body. If
he attempts. in the name of law, TO pre-
yent the people from peaceably ass m
bling on Tuesday next, it is clearly tLeir
duty to resist tthis tyranical Entertainments
unto blood. if necessary TO prevent such
an unjust usurpaticn of power. If he
issues proclamation forbidding the
people to assemble, it should be disre-
garded; and If an armed mob, from
Missouri, or elswhere, attempts to wres'
from US our Constitutional rights they
should be dealt with as tie exigency ol
the times may demand.

Our merchants are getting on good
stocks of merchandise for The fall and

their advertisement. HUTcHissoS. HAR-

person will come into the place soon and
establish himself in business, and by
adopting 3 judieioussystem OF advertising
knock those already in business into a
cooked hat," As coulI be done by using
printers ink literally. The penurious
habit Of carrying on business from month
to month. without advertising at all, or
only square or SO, is but poor encour-
agement for a printer. In other places
business men appreciate the worth of
newspapers by paying something towards
their support in advertising, and they
find, too, that they a.e amply repai,l for
all the money expended in this direction.
1t is matter of mutual advantage. In
Lawrence, on the contrary, it would be
supposed that our business men thou sh.
printers were rich, an1 coull afford to
spend tLeir time and money in building
up the place without any return what
ever.
In Conneauiyille, Pa. from which
place we hail, our business men, however
much they differed from US in politics,
could lend friendly hand in sHs aiming

per to send to their friends. they advertised
one-third of a column constantly. We
had from twelve to fifteen of this class oi
customers, aud vet our town, or the
country around it, was but little if any
more populOus than Lawrence is to-day.
There is not press in this city but has
sunk thousands of dollars since it's estab-
lishment; and there is not merchant OF
business man WHO has invested the same
amount of capital but has made his
thousands. If the same illiberal policy
is pursued towards the press by the basi-
ness men for the next few months which
has characterized them for the last nine
months. it would be but just that those

Impressions Confirmed.

that whoever lives to see ten years hence
viii see Missouri a free State! The late
movement of Atchisou, Stringfellow &
Co.. is the suicide of slavery. Il has
set thousands Of good mon to thinking in
that State, in q different direction from
what they have been accustomed to, and
the result is that many prominent slave
holders have come to The conclusion that
the institution is prejudicial TO their best
interests. The early settlers who came
into Kansas from Missouri, although not
shareholders themselves, nor desiring to
be, yet they sympathized with their for
mer neighbors who remained behind,
and it was but natural when they en-
gagged in bitter strife against the North
ern pioneers, who were charged with be-
ing "aboliiionists," that they should join
with their old friends in their crusade

it would be well for Miller to get copy

it was no more of a prisots letter than

for the fact that it FIRST appeared in that
