Kansas CITY Enterprise.

Our friends of the Kansas City Enter
prise have our thanks for their kind ex-
pressions in regard to the HERALD OF
FREEDOM. They may rest assured that
we shall ever endeavor to be consistent
with ourself, and the cause We advocate.
We are in favor of UNIVERSAL FREEDOM,
and as such seek to restrain no mans po-
litieal opinions but if We can satisfy his
judgment that he is in an error, by argu-
ment, we shall be most happy to do So
Fault finding and denunciation is not cal
culated for governing the world or re-
forming its vices. The clergyman who
deals the most literally in the threaten
ings of Providence is the least success
full in his mission and the newspaper
editor, in our humble judgment, will
come the furthest short of accomplishing
his purpose who vents hisspleen ormalice
ina yindlctiye manner on everybody who
does not chance to square his conduct by
said EDITORS narrow rule of right. When
We located the HERALD in Kansas, we re-
solved that we would have no controversy
with any paper, either in the Territory or
out of it; and that we would maintain
friendly relations with all, else no rela-
tionship whatever. This resolution shall
remain inviolate, and we are glad to find
that friend STRONG takes the enlarged
views of gentleman, and is disposed to
maintain similar connection.

We are in the immediate want of some
Printers, and cannot get along without
some additional assistance. Unless we
get a pressman Immediately, it viii be
impossible for us to issue paper next
week. Our own health is such that we
cannot labor either at the press or case,
and can only at great risk of permanent
injury sit at the table through the day
and write or make selections. With the
heavy eastern emigration, now under way
here, we hope to get relief soon.

a Short and Plain Catechisrn

For Abolition Negro -Ssealers, who affirm that
Slavery is :. great Moral aud Political eyil.n
Question !. Did God establish great
moral and political evil when He estab-
lished slavery by law in Israel, in His
own church, and among His own people I?
See Exodus, chap. xxi, V. 2, 3, 4, 5.
2. Did God give perpetuity and uni
versatility to a great moral and political
evil by guarding and protecting slave
property, with every other species of
property, by the 10th Commandment
seeing that Commandment, rs well as the
Others, was designed to be of perpetual
and universal obligation? See the 10th
Command.
3. Did the Apostles sanction great
moral and political evil in the Christian
church, when they placed the Institution
of slavery, with all the other institutions
OF society, under the obligations of the
Gospel? See l Cor chap. vii, V. 20, 81.
Also, Ephesians, chap. vi, V. 5, 6, 7, 8;
Collossians, chap. iii, v. g; Peter,
chap. ii, v. IS; / Timothy, chap. vi, v. 1 !,
=, 3, 4, o. See particularly the Sd, 4th,
and 9TH verses of this, the sixth chapter
of Timothy.
4. Did St. Paul give "aid and com
fort'' to a great moral and political evil
when he returned fugitive slave" to
his master? See Philemon, v. 10, IL,
12, IS, ID.
5. Whence do Eli Thayer, Greeley,
Garrison & Co, derive the " "higher law
by which they justify the stealing of ne
groes from their masters? See Abolition
journals. LEANDER KER.
