-Four Teezs age Thursday morning
OF this wesk. We loft hem, for the
Ess. to procure soIns machinery for
our printing oni,c. We expected to
have been absent two weeks. Before
leaYing. we visited tho printers de-
partmeut, and received a promise from
the workmen. that on the happening
of any contingency they would not
leave the office until our return. To
prevent delays We forwarded some
printing paper in store for ua at Lsav-
enworth. paying So hundred from
that point, to get the same through.
On the river we met with numerous
delays, Instead of 6nling suitable
machinery, as we had hoped, in Alton.
or St. Louis. We were compelled to
visit Chicago. Instead of getting
heme in two weeks, we were detained
three weeks and one day. On arriv-
ing at home ne found ali hands, save
our clerk and faithful apprentice had
partaken of ths elaim-specuiating
mania, and had deserted the Office,
leaving it vacant, and no paper had
been issued for two weeks. Those
who have been similarly eircum-
stanced could feel as we dfd, but 9TH
ers cannot. We are not profane
man. SO We did not swear. Neither
are we given to crying for what is
passed. and can't be helped.
Without delay We commenced re-
organizing our Office. New hands
were employed in every department,
though printers were exceedingly
scarce. After one week and two days
effort, We have succeeded in getting
this number of the Herald of Free
dom. before the public. Matter has
accumulated. in our hands, and our
"eopy drawer" is running over with
advertisements. correspondence, and
editorials. We have crowded every
tiins aside, rave few old article:
which were in type. SO IS o@get the
most importan. n .ws before the publ,
at once.
We are not conscious of any cir
cum,tanec whfsh can delay US for tn
future. We are at our post and her,
shall remain. Until We can be satisfied
We have person in the office, in tn
capacity of foreman, who will prefe
his honor TO interest, we shall no
voluntarily leave it again, even tenn
porarily.
Subscribers have complained
They had cause. Our table is cover
ell with complaints. 70 answer al
personally would prevent Us from
writing a word for the paper for tn
next month. If they will do as the,
would be done By. however much dis.
posed to censure. they would pass u
by lightly.
Several numbers which have beer
issued, have never reached the East
This was probably caused by th'
floods. which prevented the mails from
going through. They may bring VI
in time. Two years ago papers wer'
delayed three months on the route
and finally reached their destination

The Route to Kansas.

We are not sure that we may not
have misled Iur Eastern friends who
are en- route for Kansas, by recent
article recommending them to take.
at Chicago, the Illinois Central Road,
for Alton. We intended to advise
persons to take passage from Chicago
by the Alton d st. Louis Road. This
road has recently changed hands, and
now is managed by new and enterpri-
sing men. 1t offers inducements that
no other road between the two cities
possesses. Il is the most direct, and,
of course, the shortest. 1t has been
put in complete repair, with new roll
ing stock and engines, and is run with
a great punctuality and despatch.-
Passengers leaving Chicago or Joliet
in the morning, arrive at ST. Louis or
Alton about Ii o'clock. all the way
by rail. the track between Alton and
st. Louis being now completed and in
running order. Doubtless. until we
can have an airline route through
Iowa, this road will be the favored
line offravel Tor alI Kansasemigrants.
1t is reached at Chicago by both the
Michigan Southern and Michigan Gen.
tral, and, at Joliet. by the sCut OFF,
Ia short road divefging from the
head of Lake Michigan to that point.
Eastern papers will do US and the
Spring emigration favor by noting
these important facts, for with men
bound Kansas-ward time aad money
are matters to be closely looked after.

A Good Law.

- 0VV4 AA8Bs
Our Republican friends are hard to
please, else they would not find fault
with ssAolesome laws enacted for their
benefit.
The bogus Legislature at its last ses-
sion passed the following act. aad it is
reported that Gov. Geary approved
the Law. Place an impartial judge on
the bench, and give US an honest and
upright q. S. Marshal and District At
torney, and a jury, such as any honest
officer would select. and no free State
man, unless he is . disturber of the
peace, viii complain Of single enact
meat; on the contrary, it would be 8
perfect securily TO him against yio-
lence. We are decidedly in fasor of
the law, and on the first infraction of
| it, we trust it will be enforced to the
letter. Had it been law two years a.
go, and enforced. half of the people
of Western Missouri would now be
gracing the penitent;ary or swinging
on gibbet. They have combined
by force to usurp the government of
this Territory" and they have labored
| to "overturn the same" No persons
iu Kansas but the pro-slavery party
have ''interfered sorcibly with the ad-
ministration of the government OF any
of its departments"
The pro-slavery party have con-
spired to and actually levied "war up
on the people of this Territory" and
deserve death, as shown by their own
laws. 1t is the same party which has
forcibly elected the actual settlers from
the Territory. They, probably, con-
template reforming, and have passed
the act which follows to keep them
within proper limits -
AN ACT TO PUNISH REBELLION.
Be it enacted by the Governor and
Legislative Assembly of, Kansas
Sec. l. If two Or more persons
shall combine, by force, TO usurp the
Government of this Territory, or to
ovei turn the same, orto interfere forci-
bly, with the administration of the
government or any department thereof,
evidenced by forcible attempts within
the Territory to accomplish such pur-
pose, the person so offending shall be
deemed guilty of rebellion, and shall
suffer death or imprisonment and hard
labor.
Sec. 2. IF twelve or more persons
shall conspire to levy war against any
part of the people of this Territory,
they ,haIl be deemed guilty of rebel
lion, and shall suffer death or contine-
nlent and hard labor.
TSec. 8 was pied in making up the
form. We can neither find the proof
nor copy, and as we are in hurry to
go to press, we do so without it.
Sec. 4. Confinement and hard la
Dor as provided Tor in-this act shall
not exceed twenty years.
This act is to take effect and be in
force from and after its passage.

are each the centre of the most populous

no further outlay than the amoant of sim
