The most encouraging thing we have seen for
Press. The Herald of Freedom" that our
readers will remember was destroyed by the
Border Rufians, and the type, presses, &C.,
thrown into the river, has been revived, and
will work all the better and harder now for free

Freedom that is to be-. than in giving some ex-
tracts from its first number.
Our BUSINESS WANTs.-On the LIST of May
last our printing Office was destroyed. We had
three presses and large supply of good type,
worth altogether $4,000. Looking upon our
ruin from our prison, We saw no way open till
Mrs. Brown, like true wife, offered to go and
solicit donations to re-establish the press.
She went, and Providence smiled on her eff.
forts. Kind friends greeted her everywhere
Their donations have furnished us with one press
and type for small Office.
Out of this fund we must supply all our sub
| scribers the arrearage due them. We hope they

subscriber; and all the advertisements they can
get. ii

Culture VS. slavery.

Ralph waldo Emerson has spoken in Boston
in aid of the funds for Kansas His was the
second lecture of the course inaugurated by the
Young Mems Kansas Relief Society. Mr.. Elmer
son treated of the "Culture of Life" but intro
duced his remarks by saying:
"That, as in the recent contest, the day had
gone against Freedom, it seemed as If nothing
were left but suicide or emigration. de was
happy to say, however, that it had not come to
this. The ireemen of the country were yet
alive Culture, said the lecturer, is Freedom,
and every step in this course is breaking the
chains of slave; we must not expect the lmme'
date contamination ofour desires, as the Divine
Providence meant that Liberty should be no
hasty fruit. Thinking men will not advocate

The Question Settled.

It is said that President Pierce, as we'll as his
cabinet, were anxious to smooth the way for the
incoming administration, and of late had put
said that all difficulties between this government
and Great Britain had been definitely settled
Mr.. Dallas had the most positive instructions to
bring to close the long contested question of
Central American affairs, and we believe his in
structions have been promptly acted upon,
and an amicable adjustment has been made of
that question, so far as relates to the cession of
the Bay Islands, the remuneration of the Mos
quito protectorate, and the constitution of San
Juan as a free port sgE..e al.
The settlement of these questions, though
they do not cover the whole ground, will be re-
ceiyed with approval 'by most of our citizens
friendly to an amcable intercourse between the
two countries. We are willing TO give credit
where and to the extent credit is due, and to the
administration of franklin Pierce we would
award all the praise possible, but we are not vii
ling it should take too much credit for but little
work. That Mr.. Dallas has, in some degree,
ment may be true, but it is well known thss
these questions have been under discussion for
some time, and the proposition and basis of this
settlement was submitted by other parties, and
under former administration. This settlement
will be set down as Feather in the cap of the
retiring President, and when there are SO few,
we are not disposed to rob him of it, or be very
nice as to his real motive, be it selfaggrandize-
ment or obedience to the dictu of the powers
that be, preparatory to anticipated movements
in; Central America.

Marine Disasters,

In no season within our recollection, has It
been our duty to record so. many Of these pain
full disasters on the lakes as this. In nearly ev-
cry week for = month or two past, losses on the
lakes have been reported, and in most every in
stance, great loss of life has occurred.
By some, these disasters are in part attributed
to want OF harbors, and this want is again
charged to short-sighted policy on the part of
the general government. However this may be,
we are not going into an accusation in general
or porticular, but are willing that an enlighten-
ed public sentiment should decide as to where
the blame should lie. That there is want Of
harbors, convenient of access and capacious,
there is not doubt and that these serious evils
should be reached and remedied, as far as posi-
BILE in human provisions, admits of not doubt
or cavil.
Dangers on the lakes and disasters are provi-
dences of Him who holds the angry pillows in
His hand, but it is nevertheless the duty of gov
ernments to provide sufficient harbors, and to
prevent these calamites as far as possible.
The season Of navigation on the lakes, which
is now drawing to close, has been stormy
one, and greater destruction of life and pro-
perty has taken place than in many years before.
The loss of the Northern Indiana, the Mag
ara, the Toledo, the Superior, the Brooks, the
Ayers,-all involving great loss Of life, by fire
or by flood, are but few instances that might
be mentioned, say nothing of the many schoon-
ers and other sail craft that have been lost with
in the few weeks past.
