True Friends.

Among the many active friends O
the Herald of Freedom, who are labor
ing to extend its circulation and infiu
ence, none has been more successful
than Mrs. 4. I'll. HUBBARD, of this city
Through her influence forty-four sub
seribers, with the cash, was received
from Warsaw, y. Y, few days ago
besides several other large lists from
other points.
We may also state that Mrs. Hell,
EN- NJ. LEAvITT, who, with her hus.
band, were expelled from Leavenwortll
last September, because of their anti
slavery principles, has sent us list OF
forty eight subscribers from Keokuk,
Iowa. She and her husband both pro-
pose to devote the winter to our SER
vice.
There are quite a number of indi-
viduals in the States, who have volun.
teered their labors in our behalf, and
are doing yeomen's service. Among
that number, we are happy to recog-
nize our old friend, Rev. W. F. Par
msH, of Rockford, ILL.,, in whom there
is not more devoted friend of free in
stitutions in the Union, or one more
willing to make sacrifices in its be-
half.
If time would permit, we should be
pleased to mention others who are also
active for us. We shall take the lib
erty of doing so at another time.

Returning Reason.

The Citizen, pro-slayery newspa-
per, published at Huntsville. No.,
has the following very sensible article
on Kansas affairs. When the pro-
slavery press commences telling the
truth, there is some hope of the right
triumphing:
"FRoM KANsAs.-Some time since,
two gentlemen of this place, Messrs.
Boniface and Austin, took a trip to
Kansas, for the purpose of prospect
ing the Territory. They are inclined
to the belief that the soil of that Ter
ritory has been greatly oyerrated,
though there are many desirable loca-
tions for the farmer or business man.
The Territory at present seems to be
enjoying state of peace, though dead
ly enmity still exists between the two
parties. They hold no manner of So
cial intercourse, but curse and denounce
each other in the most unsparing
terms. A deep-seated and illy-sup-
pressed feeling of hatred and revenge
rankles in the bosoms of the majority
of both the pro-slavery and free State
parties, which is only kept from man
ifesting itself in open warfare and
bloodshed by the power of the law,
and their temporary mutual interest
in securing their squatter claims. SO
far as law and order is concerned, one
| party is about as good as the other.
''six in one hand and half dozen in
the other" And we were somewhat
surprised to hear the same in regard
to the last general outbreaks, as the
border papers had led us to believe
that the aggressors were the Free State
men. Although the pro-slavery men
carried the late elections, these gentle
men believe that the Free State party
outnumber their opponents three to
one or more, but they are cowed and
kept under, and many of them voted
for Whitfield to prevent matters. for
the present, from getting worse. A
State Constitution, as our readers are
aware, is soon to be formed, and when
the final issue is presented for free or
slave state, the free state men express
their firm determination to vote their
full strength, cost what it may. Our
informant has no doubt but what they
will carry the day by overwhelming
maiorities. In almost all the river
towns the parties are about equally di-
vided, and such is the bitter state of
feeling existing between them. that he
thinks one party will eventually have
to give way for the other. Back in the
country there is difference of nine to
one in favor of the Free State men.
Emigrants are constantly arrivingin the
Territory-mostly from the free States.

Come, brothers all, JOIN IN song
Join with one voice and heart,
That Truth and Right we may prOlong,
And bravely act our pait,
In that fair land to which we go,
Crush'd now by tyrant hand.
That backward We may drive the foe,
Tofheir dishonor'd land.

Saw, Freemen, shall that virgin soil,
So fertile and so fair,
Forever be the despots spoil,
And chains forever wear
Shall Freedom, pierc'd on sacred ground,
Die in this land so wide.
Shall liberty in chains be bound,
And we in thraldom bide.
Raise our banners rally around
Ring out the battle cry,

OF Bunker blazing high,
OF noble men who wonders wrought,
That Freedom might not die j;
Raise our banners iraily around,

H The Herald of Ereedom,

~ The Herald of Freedom, the
leading Free State paper of Kansas,
the Office of which was demolished by
the pro-slayery mob, and its editor
made treason prisoner by the Gov
ernment officials, has again made its
appearance. The first number, under
date of November 1st, is before us,
giving evidence of undiminished zeal
In the cause for which the editor has
periled his life. We commend the pa
per to the kind regard of all friends
of Free Kansas and Freedom. Terms,

Kansas Homes.

This is an age of enterprise. The
wide vast prairies here. but three short
years ago, was almost without a hu.
man inhabitant, save the untutored In.
dian; now they are teeming with bu.
sy life. Thousands have poured in
from the North, East and West, to
find on Kansas plains home. Thei,
dwellings have risen as if by the touch
ofthe magician's wand and busy lnarts
are opened. Each day brings new ac-
cessions to our rapidly increasing pop
ulation, and, with the coming spring,
the vast tide of emigration will peo-
pie almost every fertile vale in Kansas.
The enterprizing man can, in few
short years, make for himself a com
potency, if not a fortune. With :
soil that is unsurpassed, fine climate,
it offers to the industrious man chance
that is unequaled in any part of our
Union. Let the hard working man,
the poor man, who depends on his dali
ly labor. come to these lovely plains
and make for himself home, where
he can be independent of the mere pit
tanee for which, for long years, he has
toiled. Let him come with the first
days of Spring and home awaits
him.

Advertise.

This should be the motto OF
every man who desires to ex-
tend his trade, and to build up for
himself an increasing and paying bu-
siness. The merchant now-s-dsys who
takes q store and exposes his goods
for sale without announcing to the
public through the press, what his
stock consists of, and how it viii be
sold, is set down as an "old fogy," .
regular "take in :" his house is avei-
ded. and he finally is compelled to
close out "And why % People
say he has not much of a store, else
he would not be ashamed TO advertise
it. And people" are right enough
about that.
If business men would see their
stores and shops filed with customers
their clerks always busy-their mon
Iesedrawers looking fat and full,' and
realize that the "good time
was at hand, they must adj
-. They NEST hang out their
signs upon the columns Of the news
papers Of their towns and cities-for
the world is as much given 10 reading
as Il is to buying. Advertise, there
fore, if you would flourish like the
green bay tree" Plant your dimes in
this way. and your harvest will be a
golden one.

twill be remembered that an account of d Gaming
at the Metropolitan Hotel by Mr.. Vicks, who thrash

days SINCE Connected with Mr.. Nicks we have tale
to unfold which will make the abolitionsts of Phia

1t seems that when Mr. Vieks was about to leave
North Carolina in company with Mr.. Haywood on a
Northern tour he was requested the State
sentenced to Punishment from North Carolina for a
glaring outrage upon the laws Of that State. Mr.. v
consented and on his arrival at the Hotel in Philadel

after the abolitionsts appeared and used every per
suaslon to induce the negro to abscond and he in
formed Mr.. Y that they had offered him $50 to run

amount was paid and the banished negro who was
taken to the North to be left there received aid u-
eXpectedy and is now residing among class Of peg
