The Kansas herald of freedom., 1857-08-15

Free State though they may be, scattered
over Kansas. In all confidence we must
beg of Free State men to keep alocf from
them until the local issue, the only real
issue in Kansas, that between freedom
and slavery, is first settled.
Since our publication OF an extract from
Gov. Ransom's Message to the LegisIa-
ture of Michigan, in our last issue. we
learn that the sol disamt National Demo-
Gratis have been thrown into very great
confusion at Leeompton. and they are
circulating letter for signatures, ask
ing him to withdraw from the can
vass. If the party is what it processes,
and nothing else, why this sensitiveness
on the slavery question? Though Mr..
Ransom's fidelity to the Democratic par
ty of ofaMichigan has never been doubted.
and though he is bosom friend and warm
supporter of Lewis Cass, yet it is true
that ultra Democrats of the Fred. Easoru,
szs-G. w. Clark, and Col. Titus school, did
declare in Lecompton but q few days ago,
that they would vote for Mr.. PARROT in
preference to Mr.. RANSOM.
We submit it, to the Judgment of the
reader, to decide whether he shall act
with that party, which has no affinity
with him, or whether he will first unite
with the Free State party, and contribute
his influence in laying the foundations of
freedom here, and then look after ma
tional politics, when the issue is national
one.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1857-08-15
Col, Cooke.


This officer, now in command of the
Z. 8. forces near Lawrence, was stationed
at Fort Leavenworth as early as 1929.
de was then a Lieutenant under Mai.
Riley. Most of his time since has bee,,
spent in frontier service; ten wears of il
IN Kansas. He is an officer of much en-
crgt and decision. He returned on Mon
day last from Fit. Riley, where he had
been to meet the hostile Indians. The
Express from IT. Riley reached Col.
Cooke on Monday, the 3rd of August In
! half an hour he was on the road march
ing to that place, and in twentv-nine
hours arrived at the Fort-a distance of
nearly one hundred miles. On reaching
there, he found the alarm had been caus.
ed, first, by fight on the Smoky Hill
River between company of Pottowato-
mic and Cheyenne Indians, in which one
Pottowatomie was killed, one taken pris-
os-Sty oA0 OAlC AO1fACus L le WOuD0G0
Indian on his return created an alarm by
calling on the settlers and nlagnifying, in
broken English, the numbers and wariike
intentions of the Cheyennes. The coin
;idenee of the return of large hunting
party of friendly Pottowatomies on about
he same time, and camping in sight of
he settlements. eorroborated the state |
nent Of the frst Indian and so prodaced
perfect panic. Men, women and chill |
lren fled in terror to the Fort. Forty |
lofsemen from Manhattan mustered i'm |
nediately On receiving the intelligence, |
nd fastened to join in defense of the
rontier. Citizens in all parts of the Ter
tory were in readiness to join the troops
necessary. But, happily, it proved
false alarm. The citizens returned TO
heir homes in peace, and the soldiers to
harding the rebels in Lawrence.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1857-08-15
Madam EUrnor.

Hardly day passes but some report,
calculated to excite the populace, is
brought into town, and, of course, is sent
out broadcast over the country. On Mon
day last it was reported that Gov. WALK
ER was coming into Lawrence to collect
taxes and make arrests. As might be ex-
pected, those who believed the report,
were thrown into great excitement. Tues
day came, but no troops visited the town;
Wednesday passed with the same result,
as did Thursday, and as will the balance
of the week. That arrests may be made
we deem probable; but we cannot believe
that Gov. WALKER, with his knowledge
of the Territory, and the ease with which
it can be converted into boiling eamldron,
will consent that an effort shall be made
to collect Territorial tax. This is the
only question on which We consider there
is any danger Of collision. On it our
people are sensitive, as they have Just
right to be. They recollect the incidents
which gave birth to the American rcvolu-
ton, and they feel that they would not
be worthy of their ancestry were they to
allow foreign body to usurp our govern
ment, and tax them without having any
voice in the representation.
Whether the people would fight the
United States authorities, in case an at
teElpt was made to collect the taxes, by
force, We cannot say; but VIC do not de-
sire to see the experiment tried for fear
OF the consequences. 0ur own course
would be to appeal to the Courts, and test
the judicial departments of the govern
ment before desponding or resorting to
violence; and this we think, will be the
policy of the party generally.
There is no cause for this constant ap-
prehension of war and violence. There
is no sense in these false reports, gotten
up for effect, and to furnish capital for
ietter-wrlters. The whole thing is trick
of these men to make their productions
valuable to metropolitan journals; in whose
service they are. A half d dozen men in
secret session, getting out offnateriai, send
one of their number abroad to gather up !,
the news. He is gone day, returns and
spreads like wildfire his inventions while
gone, and after passing from mouth to
mouth for an hour, it assumes the reality
of truth. Then it is sent East as facts.
never to be contradicted, save through
the Herald Of Ffeeaom; and we are pro-
nouneed traitor to our party and princi. |
pies because we expose these falseboods. |
We are also charged with being in league
with Gov. WALKER, and laboring with
him to subvert the liberties of the people
for the same reason.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1857-08-15
Position No, Changed.

1t is sneeringly and insrltingly said BY
seme of the fre-eating journals of Kan
sas. and of the East, that the Herald OF
Freedom owes its existence to the fact that
twas re-established by the charities Of
the friends of freedom, and that it has
proved reereant to its former position
The facts are, we lost something over
$4,000 by the outrages upon our prop
erty, in May, 1854, by border rufians.-
The friends of the cause wished to sec us
established in business again, and they
generously gave of their means to enable
us to resume the publication of our Jour.
nal. The Herald Of Freedom had been
for long time before the public, was ex-
tensively read, and its independent position
fully known of all men. In the fourth
number of our second volume, published
on the 1st day of March, 1856, nearly
three months before the Office was de-
stroyed, in the leader we said
"0ur paper isthe organ of no partv or
person, save ourself. Noperson is respon-
'ible for single thought or word ex-
pressed by US, and so we wish all the
world to understand. We always have.

That is precisely our position today. |

'ositien it will live and prosper when the |

epresenting it shall have ceased to have |
