cluied that the establishment was a great tempta-

Herald Of rrsedom

We have received number of this
paper which is edited and published by
G. w. DRowS, at Lawrence, Kansas. Il
is nearly an entire original paper, giving
the history Of Kansas from its first discoy.
cry by the French down to the present
year. 1857. 1t was the first Free State
paper published in the Territory, but soon
after it made its first appearance, it was
for short time suspended, owing to the
destruction of the press by a mob. and
the arrest and incarceration of its editor
in prison for his bold and independent
course in the advocacy of the rights of the
Free State party. It was in few months
again revived. greatly improved in its ap-
pearance, being in much better eondi-
ton, financially.
1t is now at the close Of its second vol
ume, with an increased circulation of
nearly 5000. 1t IS ably edited and well
conducted, affording more original reading
matter than any other paper in the Terri
