Reply to the True American.

Several of our most prominent citi-
zens are now canyassing the Territory
in behalf of Gov. Reeder's election to
Congress.-Kansas Herald of Freedom.
Can Anti-Slavery men in Kansas be in
no better business than "canvassing" for
the election of a man identified with the
party and the Administration that has
originated, consummated, and is carry
ing on all the aggressions and outrages
from which they suffer ?''-Erie True
american.
Does our friend CArL1N understand
that the Free State party of Kansas is
made up of all the elements of the old as
well as new parties in the East. and that
many who were active in securing the
repeal Of the Missouri Compromise are
now active in getting the same principle
adopted by the people of Kansas ? Would
it be policy, or even just, to drive a large
part of our Free State strength from us
merely because We formerly differed on
other questions -? We believe Gov.
REEDER as true to freedom as is our
friend of the True American, with whom
we labored for years in getting our free
soil views adopted by the county. The
Governor views many things differently
from US, and has been connected with
party with which We have been battling
from our earliest connection with politi-
cal matters; and yet we see no reason
why we should not hail with pleasure his
hearty cooperation in making Kansas a
free State, as also every other member of
that party who take the same views of
the questions of to-day with us. Does
our friend stop to inquire from which
party person came who nnites his des-
tiny in the future with the Republican
party, and who labors to advance its in
terests. Col. LANE was a member of the
last Congress, and we regret to say, vo-
ted for the Kansas Nebraska bill with
all its Infamous provisions, yet we find
him laboring apparently, as devotedly as
any of US, to secure freedom to the people
of this Territory. We are truly glad to
receive his services, and know he labors
as efficiently as any one to carry for
ward the measures we are struggling to
advance. 1t would afford us equal pleas
ure to find Gov. Shannon and Frank
Pierce laboring in the same direction.
The present settlers of Kansas came
here to build up for themselves perma-
nent homes. The questions of party
distinction, which had influenced them
in the old States, were lost sight of. and
all their hopes for the future were GEN.
tered here. The insignificant questions
of Banks and Tariffs, and lesser still,
who should be President, was merged in
the great question of freedom for our
selves and our children.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1855-12-15

tlhcations were erected, and the men
organized forefect;ve resistance. There
is not doubt that with the redoudts and
means of defence so hastily thrown up.
we could have repulsed a foe six times
our superiors in numbers. Gen. LANE,
having seen service, was the better quail
lied for the task imposed upon him. The
people owe much to his intrepidity and
gallantry.
We have trespassed upon the patience
of the reader and excluded large num-
Der of articles from this number of our
paper to make room for the particulars
of the first "war in Kansas" Much
remains to be said at another time; but
this much seemed necessary, to place
the full facts before the country as
soon as possible. We have endeavored
to be impartial, and to do justice to all j;
and yet where so much was due we are
very conscious of having come short of
our purpose. The Council of Safety
have appointed G. P. LOWRY, ESQ.,, the
historian of the events, and requested
him to prepare complete statement to
be filed in the archieves of the Territory.
1t will be done, and well done, and
wherein we have come short he will sup,
ply with pleasure. In the meantime the
public must be satisfied with this outline
sketch, with such additional items as will
be furnished by other journals and letter
writers.

The HefaIo Of FREEDOM.
G. W. BROWN, Editor.
Lawrence. Saturday, Dec. Is. 1855.
The Herald of Freedom.

We appear before the reader this week
shorn somewhat of our fair proportions.
Our stock of paper, which we ordered on
the Sd of October, has not arrived-the
river is closed, and our only remedy for
the winter is to diminish the length and
number of our columns to fit some paper
which we have found at Kansas City,
Mo-, and which We have secured for our
use. This will carry US to the opening
of navigation in the spring, when we
shall go back to our former size. None
candeprecate the necessity ofcutting down
our columns more than ourself. 1t has
ever been our ambition to publish good
paper, one that would equal in spirit,
size, and mechanical appearance the
best of our country exchanges and our
motto ever has been OUTWARD AND on
WARD" We trust our temporary dimi-
mutton of size, under the present circum-
stances, will not be taken as a retrogade
step, as weare confident that with the
arrangements which we are now perfect
ing we shall be able, by the first of
March next, to get fully under way
again with our sails all set, on wide
and open sea. In the mean time, the
kind reader will receive the small sheet,
made as rich and as interesting with
short articles as our pen and scissors can
make it.

The Mobile Advertiser says that 81
the coming session of the Alabama be
islature, a proposition to aPpropra%
100000 from the Treasury, TO aid ID
making Kansas slave State, will b
warmly pressed upon that body.-Ef'
Alabama and every slave State il TIE
Union, may each appropriate 81 900, OV-
with the view of making Kansas
slave State, and they cannot succeed ID
their purpose.
If Alabama desires to strengthen the
bonds of slavery, let them turn their 81
tention homeward, for Freedom, Wh'
has so long been oppressed, has deer
mined on indicating herself in tn'
future, and will carry the war into t0s
enemy's camp.
