T Our terms for advertising ar.

re- Our terms for advertising are
ten cents line for the first insertion,
and five cents a line for each subse-
quent insertion. 4 paper of melon
seeds will not remunerate us for de-
voting half column to a communi-
cation, the object of which is to induce
the people to purchase it from a par
ticular individual. We frequently re-
ceive articles of trihing value for which
a long notice is expected. We wish
all the world and the rest of man
kind to understand that We have pub
lished paper long enough for glory
Hereafter we shall labor to make ii
pay, and this we are bound to do OF
abandon the business. We have Ia
bored as faithfully and sacrificed as
much, we believe, as any man in Kan
sas, to aid the cause of freedom, and
yet mary are rQlaiaous enough to i'm
pugn our motives, and do it continu-
ally. Such persons, and all others
will understand that while our paper
will remain our organ, and ours only,
those who wish to use it for sinister
motives must seek another sheet, and
those who wish to advertise their
wares, or seeds, must pay the printer.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1857-01-17

ly indicating, at the same time, the
State organization as the remedy we
deem best adapted to our political
exigeneies, we pray now, as we have
hitherto done, that this work of free
spirited and intelligent people. may,
by your sanction and approval, be
made operative and efficient to the
great end for which it was prepared.
Tins We ask for the protection of
your honorable body. whose province
and whose constitutional duty it is TO
afford it. AS faithful and obedient
citizens we are entitled to this inalien-
able right; we are entitled to it by all
the glorious events of our history as a
nation, in whose fame we in common
with the whole American people feel
just pride, and we respectfully sub
NIT whether, if our humble petitions
for redress are to be answered only
with contempt.
May not the example of those who,
in the earlier days of the Republic,
struggled for constitutional freedom,
suggest a course whidh it will be our
right and duty to adopt?'
And your Memorialists will ever
pray.

At this stage of proceedings, re-
port reached the Legislature that Z. S.
Deputy Marshal Pardee was in town,
with a writ from Judge Cato for the
arrest of members, on the charge of
usurping the government on the 4th of
March, 1856. After consultation, it
was resolved to adjourn till the second
Tuesday in June next. The Marshal
then appeared in the hall, read the
writ, which was sworn out by Ex-
Sheriff Jones. The persons arrested
were taken to Tecumseh, and on
Thursday Were brought before Judge
Cato, who admitted them to bail in
the sum of $500, on their own per-
sonal recognizances.

Surveyors Esozen.

About four weeks since, a terrible
accident occurred to party of U. S,
Surveyors, who were engaged in the
survey, some distance west of Fort
Riley. They were eamped on the
open prairie, in two separate parties,
when a terrible storm of snow and
wind came up and one tent in which
were seven men, was blown over, and
the party set out across the prairie
with the intention of reaching the 9TH
er camp.
They did not succeed in this and
wandered about all night, till the dawn
of day showed them their position
Two brothers were frozen to death, and
were found next morning in the spot
where they had fallen exhausted. OF
the other FIVE, all but one were SO bad
" frozen, that they had to be lifted in
and out of the wagon which conveyed
them down to the eastern part of the
Territory. All accounts make the
weather Intensely cold in the section
around Ft. Riley.

Governors Message,

Let every body read the Governor S
Message. Were it not for the fact
that he is compelled, from his posi-
tion. to endorse the bogus Legislature,
and had he omitted to refer to the re.
peal Of the Missouri Compromise with
evident qualification, we should have
been very well pleased with it. 1t is
very fair, straight forward, business
document, pleasant to read, and deal
ing generally in facts; and, on the
whole, it is a meritorious State paper,
and will be sought after with deep in
terest all over the States. Indeed it
will be copied nearly as widely aswas
the Presidents Message, and its facts
will serve to guide politicians and di-
rect Congressional action. We are
apprehensive, from what information
we have already received from Lecomp-
ton, that his suggestions will be little
needed by those to whom it was par
ticularly directed.
