The Free State had two column at.
ticle two weeks ago touching the Herald
of Freedom, the Emigrant Aid Compa-
ny and Doet. Robinson. So far as we
are concerned we had no desire to reply,
as we conceived that envy was Furnishing
itself. The object of this brief notice is
not to revive any controversy. bu.
simply to quote the following from the
Boston Telegraph, as sound, reliable,
and influential an anti-slayery pubiica-
ton as there is in the Union. Speaking
of the different papers and their news,
it says -
"The Free STATE displays its pro-sIa.
very afflinities of which the HERALD has
frequently accused it. by denoancing
DR.. ROBINSON for delivering an anti-sla,
very address on the 4th, when many
National" men were present. Those
who desire TO patronize Kansas paper
must not be deceived by the title of this
sheet Nis bogus affair It has prob
ably been corrupted by government ad.
versising, of which il has Eve or six col.

Donkey Legislation.

We gave last week specimen OF Dom
key Legislation It affords US pleasure
to copy another chapter from the Stat
utes of Kansas" as enacted by the S4ons
elected By the Missouri rowdies to make
laws for US. "Shall suffer death seems
to be fayorite penalty with our would be
lawgiyers. The bloody Draco was a
mild and sagacious statesman compared
with the code of the slave power, as it IS
being framed by their minions at the
Shawnee Mission. In the Sd section of
the act quoted below, they propose to
punish individuals for crimes committed
Gin any State or Territory of the United
States"
II we recollect the story as it was,
Nebuchadnezzar was virtually changed
into donkey and compelled to eat grass
''seven years." because of his tyrannies.
These men have proved themselves don
keys, in advance of any action of ProTi-
dence in their case, and the people will
welcome the time when they are turned
out to pasture. Such legislation as the
following may be conceived to be the
genuine essence of wisdom; we think it
is, for il anything can show the degrada-
ton of the slaveocrasy, 1t is to enact laws
which eagender the supreme contempt of
every intelligent person. whether of the
North or South -

We publish in another place an article
from pro-siavery resident Of this vicin-

reference to the adaptation of our soil
for hemp-growing. are correct enough,
probably, but the idea Of southern men

Iterous, when but short time viii eiapse

Cholera and Intempsranoe.

Reports from Fort Riley and Pawnee
sre very disheartening. tits represented
that the cholera has broken out among
the Government troops, and that many
persons are being carried off. 1t is said
that Maj. OGDEN and one hundred and
twenty-eigh. troops have become victims
to the epidemic.
When at Pawnee few weeks ago we
were confident that some fatal disease
would break out there, and destroy the
people. Intemperance seemed to rule
with iron sway. There were then but
FIVE houses in the place, and, as the read
er will reeollect We reported on our re-
turn, three of these were liquor houses.
Since then we are informed that two
booths have been erected and used for
the sale of liquor.
Numbers of government troops were
stationed at Fort Riley, one mile distant,
and most of these were new recruits from
the States. With great portion of them,
when not on drill, their time was spent
around those hell-holes, engaged in drink,
ing. gambling. profanity and fighting
During the whole period ofour existence
we are confident we never saw as much
intemperance, were it all united, as We
saw in those three days we spent at Paw
nee. Disease breaks out among them,
and dozens are cut down suddenly, while
those who are able to drag themselves
away join in general stampede. 1t is
reported that between deaths and deser-
tiops the Fort is almost wholly abandon
ed and the fate of Pawnee is sealed for
many years.
Had the people there discharged their
duty to themselves they would have uni
ted to man in expelling the demon OF
intemperance from amongthem Iutox-
ication produced disease, and when once
eagendered in locality it is not limited
to those only who drink to excess but it
is extended to all classes.
The people of Lawrence, as health
regulation, are bound by their love for
their families, as they value their own
lives and those of their neighbors, to join
as one man in excluding now and perma-
nently the sale of intoxicating drinks
fro", this vicinity, unless they wish a
powerful lesson, practically, as has been
SO recently experienced at Pawnee. We
have prohibitory liquor law in this city,
enacted by the people direct, and the
people will be proud to sustain it. We
trust every infringement it will be
Immediately reported to the Board of Ar
bitFators, and we are confident if the
proper evidence is submitted to them,
they will discharge their duty promptly.
The whisky influence at Pawnee should
serve as specimen of liquor doings in
the Territory. and should be satisfactory
for all time. Let every new town laid
out in the Territory, as an incipient step,
take measures to Danish the rum-fend
from its midst
