The Kansas herald of freedom. [volume] (Wakarusa, Kan. Territory) 1854-1860, 1858-06-26
suO.erlb. for the Herald of Freedom.

Those in want of a first-cIass newspa-
per from Kansas, indspendant in politics,
and strictly truthful, and just as prompt to
censure one party guilty of wrong as the
other, should subscribe for the Herald of
Freedom. Three more numbers will close
the volume, when we shall enter upon
the fourth, at which time we would be
glad to commence with the addition of
two thousand new names to our list.
The long experience of the editor as a
Journalist, and his intimate acquaintance
with every phase of Kansas history and
politics, enables him to publish a news
paper which cannot have a successful
rival.
The Herald of Freedom is the oldest
Free State newspaper in Kansas, and the
first established on Kansas soil. 1t has
survived the attacks made upon it by
Border Rufian violence, and has been
equally successful in living down fanatical
opposition from interested demagogues
and letter writers. While it does not
claim to be an organ of any party, it is
believed that it has contributed its full in
fiuence towards moulding popular opin-
ions, and in giving to Kansas her present
exalted position on the platform of free
dom.
In asking for our journal further sup
port, we dose only with the hope that
those who can endure the truth will pa
tronize it. Those who want newspaper
to follow in the wake of some self-styled
leader, or to suppress the truth when it
initiates against the party with which
we have always acted, and with whom we
always expect to labor, should seek some
other printing establishment for their
Kansas news. FEARLESS, TRUTHFUL and
FREE" must be our motto in every place
and relation of life. Adopting this motto
for ourselves, We hope to see others who are
clothed in the garb of humanity, rough
though it be, doing service under the same
banner.
We ought to have 10000 subscribers
the next year, and believe We should if
those in the east who want reliable infor-
nation from Kansas would consult their
true interests. We are happy to say,
however, that we had rather have five
Kansas subscribers than one eastern one.
so if all the friends of the Herald of Free
dom will go to work, and labor for the
next four weeks to swell our list, we will
pledge them in return, that if we fail in
getting the 10000 subscribers, we shall
come much nearer to it than we should
had they made no effort in our behalf.
We have facilities for printing a very
large edition of our paper; indeed, the
heavy expense incurred last year to en-
able US to meetsuch an extended circula-
ton as we then enjoyed, has greatly en-
barrassed us pecuniarily, and we need lib
eral assistance now, to enable us to main |
tain our position. Without this, we must
necessarily suffer in our business relations, |
though we trust we have still means |
enough left, to carry the Herald of Free
dom along for time without this aid.
For our new volume we have no |
promises to make, only that we shall do |
the best we know how to make an interest |
ing and reliable newspaper. While we
are patronized by the public, and continue
to publish newspaper, we expect to pub
lish an interesting one, and will devote
our attention to such subjects as we deem
will best advance the interests of its pa
irons, and the principles which our paper
was established to promulgate.
