The Kansas herald of freedom., 1856-02-02


sober facts as seen from this stand point.
We appeal to each patron whose sub
scription has now closed to renew imme-
diately! We ask him to inclose two
dollar bill on some current bank in his
own State, and forward the same to our
address with his own name, post-e6fee,
county and State. carefully written in a
perfectly legihle hand. and we will guar
an;ee the arrival of every number of the
paper through the volume. If any num-
bers shall be missing at the close of each
quarter. by addressing US they shall be
fe-supplied.
Some seem apprehensive that our Of
fee may be destroyed. and thatthey may
not get their moneys worth. To such
We may say: The paper ssiH go on :
Even our own destruction will not pre-
vent its continuance, for our little means,
still left in our native State, stands
pledged to the publication of the HERALD
OF FREEDOM, and in case of violent
death our executors are instructed to
spend every dollar in sustaining a free
press in Kansas.
We not only ask our old patrons to re-
new their subscriptions, but urgently So
lieit them to ask their neighbors to join
with them. Every additional reader to
the HERALD OF FREEDOM will be an ad-
ditional friend of Kansas in the fiery or
deal to which she is exposed, and must
soon pass through. ft ~
We also appeal to the free press of
| the North to aid US. It seems as if they
must have some idea of our difficulties
and embarrassments. They also know
how important it is tina: faithful senti-
mel be ever at his post ready to sound the
clarion of alarm. THE HERALD OF FREE
DOM occupies the position of that senti-
mel, and each reader of its columns
through the last year will concede it has
been faithful to the cause. 1t has never
occupied a doubtful position f)r mo-
ment. Its bitterest enemies will cheer
fully concede this fact. The next Presi-
| dental election will undoubtedly be
fought upon the great issues involved in
the Kansas question How important,
then, that each public journal, on each
side of The question be fully advised as
to the facts here.
Congress for two months las remained
unorganized, owing to questions grow
ing out of the Kansas difficulties. When
organized, every member, both from the
North and South, will desire to be post
ed in regard to our movements. We re-
speetfully invite them to order the HER
AID OF FREEDOM through the Secretary
of their respective Houses, and it shall
be forthcoming. Those desiring perfect
files of the last volume can be supplied
by forwarding US two dollars in cur
rency.
To those friends in every part of the
country who have given US their patron
age, and have exerted themselves to
widen our circulation, we now extend
our hearty thanks. Many of these will
be remembered with grateful recollec-
tions while We live for their friendly
cheer and sympathy. We trust the
smiles of Heaven will ever rest on them
and theirs.
To those who shall not renew their
subscriptions We may be permitted a
word of regret at parting. Our journey
thus far has been, in many respects, an
agreeable one. Since they conclude to
go with US no further We can only thank
them for their past encouragement, and
bid them a1ieu, with hope that when
these tempestuous times shall have pass
ed away We shall meet under more favor
able circumstances.
