WHAT IS SAID Ir.-The recent article in the
Washington Union, approving the policy O.
Walker in Kansas, is the subject Of no little
comment in all sections of the country. II
evidently speaks by authority, and places the
Administration at variance with its party iu
Georgia and Mississippi.
But this article is quite refreshing to the
Black Republicans Here is what the New
York Post says Of it:
"The article assuming It to be authorized
BY the government, marks an era in the po'
litical history of the country; it is the first
tribute Of respect to the antislavery senti
ment of the Northern States which has come
from the Federal Executive for the last TWEEN
ty years. After a contest conducted with
great bitterness, and, so far as the North was
concerned, under every imaginable advan.
tnge. we have today to record the very first
act Of eny federal administration wearing an
aspect Of resistance to the pro'slavery policy
OF the southern oligarchy."
This is not very refreshing consolation to
those Southern papers which have concided
with the Union, in approval of the Kansas
question.

THE POST.
ATHENS. FRIDAY, JULY "a, 1857.

True AS PRsAcHISe.-A contemporary
says, ask a plain, honest but Ignorant Demo-
crat If he is in favor Of encouraging the i'm
migration of foreigners here, to mould our
political institutions, to trample upon our
social rightsand to seize upon his lands and
the lands Of his children Qhe noble heritage
bequeathed by the blood of his fathtrs> and
then be- subjected to heavy taxas in order to
school his children aud afford facilities to q
market for his labor, while the foreigner is
furnished all these advantages BY his free
soil associates, from the resources Of the
General Government, and he will tell you
no! Ask him the next day the same ques-
tion and he will inform you that Squire A
or Gen. B. (both political aSs-pirants) have
informed him that this is Whig-Ameriean
principle-it will never do to quit the old
double breasted, hard-isted Democracy, let
US Ticker! The good man meets you the
next time with frown-he turns away from
his own interests and the interests Of his
country to party-he curses you for dark
lantern, now-Nothing "Fetherel," a some
thing that faint human" and guilty Of fits.

Winter Stock Arrived.

Weare happy to inform our friends that
notwithstanding the fact that the Missou-
ri has closed this year, nearly a month in
advance of the usual period, yet we have
secured our stock of paper for the winter,
enough to supply ten Thousand subscri-
bers from this until after the opening of
navigation in the spring. In consequence
of this arrangement we shall be able to
keep up our regular weekly issues. Some
of the vile slanderers who could not sue
coed in lying us down, by charging US
with border ruffianism, have lately at
tempted it by saying that we were about
to suspend our paper, and that our list was
falling off very rapidly, and thousand
other falsehoods of "a like character.
The truth is, the Herald of Freedom is
established on permanent basis, and it is
not dependent on the caprice of its enc
mics single hour for its existence. 1t
has lived and flourished in despite of their
opposition, and it will continue to do So.
1t is the oldest Free State paper in Kan
sas, and Yields an influence equalled by
none; and more than that, its editor has
been connected with the press long
enough to know that the more violently
apaper is assailed with falsehood the more
it will prosper in the end So, gentle
men, "pitch in'' and give us as great a
notoriety as possible. 'Let those laugh

UuEise Policy.

We publish in another column the pro-
ceedings of Convention held few days
ago at Topeka. 1t seems to us unwise to
convene the Topeka Legislature with the
view of setting in motion the State Gov
eminent We have the Territorial Leg
islature in our hands. It's action, if con-
vened independent of the Governor, will
carry infinitely more force with it than
will the action of the Topeka Legislature
The latter is looked upon by powerful
party in the States as factional. Let us
not give our enemies the advantage of
such charge against us in this crisis,
when we have stronger weapon to work
with.
