TO OUR PATRONS.

The notice we gave two or three weeks
ago, acquainting u SUI scrlbers and all
indebted 10 us, with u Strengthened cir
cun1stances, has brought many to see and
act their duty, not enough how to
clear us from embarrassment. We still
need about $500 90 to keep oar heads a
bove water. This we must have from a
mong those who owe us over 1000 90.
Dunning is an unpleasant resort-especial-
" in such times as these. We would
willingly suspend business if we thought
the public good required it. Believing
that it is Lest for creditor and debtor that
we should continue the publication of the
HERALD. we have resolved 10 do so, even
though we have to resort to extreme
measures. There are 100 rich persons
every one owing US S. GO to $40 90,
clear of debt and loaning their money at
20 per. cent these must pay anyhow
Then there are 800 others owing as who
never go in debt! These can pay, just as
we'll now as anytime. a few hundred
dollars will enable US to weather tbs
times.

Steadman, though a personal and a polili-
cal friend Of Douglas, is openly in for the
Kansas policy Of the Administration. The
editor of the Leavenworth Journal ar
rived here this morning, and says that he
himself and his pro-slayery friends intend
voting for the free State clause
when submitted to the peopls. He an
nounces positively that Gen. Calhoun will
pursue the same course, and is unreserved
in his declaration to that effect. He re.
turns on Thursday to participate in the

there would be a decided majority for a

have added that a share of this wheat goes

of it goes for helping the rational poor aud
