We have the Lawrence Herald of Freedom
of the'12th, which boasts a list of over two
thousand and seems to be fourishing. The
publisher acknowledges fifty new names
ceived from E. Jones at Wilbraham. who is
lately from Lawrence. A stage route is to be
opened from Leayenworth to Lawrence, and
the Herald advises emigrants to proceed from
st. Louis to Leavenworth by steamboat, Inc
stead of stopping at any of the towns in Mis-
souri, to give business to the border ruhians.
''By doing SD, they will aid in building up
Leayenworth, free state city in Kanzas,
keeping down kanzas city, a pro-slavery town
in Missouri, and, on their arrival, be nearer
Lawrence by fifteen miles, than they would
be by the other route. Our merchants here
after intend to trade with Leavenworth, ex-
clusiyely, instead of aiding and building up
Westpert and Kanzas City, which sent out a
rabbe against u.s."
1t continued very cold in Kanzas, the Their
mometer keeping in the ueighborhood of zero
most of the time for three weeks. The deal
ers at Lawrence were laying in large stock
of ice.
The completion of the railroad to Kanzas,
through Iowa, is earnestly discussed in that
State, and movement for the project will
soon be made. 1t woudbe a great affair for
the Development of that State, as well as
dependent of Missouri in every respect.
The recent false report of a battle at East
on, Kanzas, was started by the Kicapoo PiOn-
eer, Pierce and Atchison sheet, with the
purpose to get up new foray from Missouri,
but it proved failure. The cowardly New
England allies of the border rufiians, use these
very tabncations of the enemies of the Kan
zas settlers to bring into discIedit the state
ment OF their grievances. So does crime al
ways seek refuge in falsehood and calumny,
against those it Injuries.
In his SqUGtter Sovereign of Jan. 1st String
fellow mikes pitiful appeal to the North, to
allow Kanzas to become slave State, as the
only means Of saving the Union.
Il. X. G. Carney, editor of the Topeka
freeman, giving an account of his experience
as prisoner of war in the Missouri camp,
tells this anecdote:
Suffering ourselves severely from the Sc
verify OF the weather, we approached our ven
cradle friend, Ozas Judd, late of Lockport,
N. y, that we might sympathize with him as
fellow sufferer. We were struck with the
fofttude of the old gentleman, and the de-
gree of patience manifested by him. Upon
our approach, the first words we heard from
him were, Thank the Lord fol this cold night
. Lord send it a little COLDER" We inquired
why the shiyering old friend was dcsrous of
greater suffering. His reply was, 'One more
cold night would send the Missourians home
to care for their slaves The reply was fol-
lowed by an earnest petition TO the Throne of
Grace for the conversion of tho rufians. As
for ourself, we honestly prayed that those WHO
detained us, might have GARNER place in the
other, if not in this world
There was a mass meeting at the hotel in
Lawrence, on ,he evening of the 18th, at
which the republican platform was adopted
no more slsve teritory-no more slave States
Resistance to the further aggressions Of the
slave power Gen. Lane said in a speech,
that "slavery had become so aggressive it
would force the accuIsed institution into heav.
en-, even if an archangel stood at the gate, un-
less he should have Sharpe's rifle in his
hand!"
