FREE STATE.
For TIE Herald Of Freedom.
Letter from Gov, Robinson.

hcan is still very bad with The "Nushes."
The present editor says that Mr.. Allen
took the disease first, but he now has it in
its secondary form, in all its malignity.
Ny prescription for patients who are dan
gerously afflicted with bushes for other
people, is ga reUieaO of their own acts and
life" and if this gives no relief, then 1
recommend this prayer:
90 that some power the gift would give me.
To see myself as others see me-"
As soon as this prayer is answered, the
disease is cured-I never knew it to fail.
I hope my friends, Allen and Thacher,
will apply this remedy in time, as it will
be pity to lose them, especially the lat
ter. What a God-ssnd it is for Kansas
that a Solomon-yea, wiser than Solomon
should come among us just at the close
of our struggle, to tell us how to act
What pity we poor "mudsills" could
not have had him for overseer while We
were getting ont the first timbers and lay
ing the keel of our new ship of State !
o! ye fellow "mudsills" of '54, '55 and
'56, awake to the consciousness of the
greatness Of his presence, and beware how
We send any communication to the Herald
Of Freedom, or in any way stir up the dis
pleasure of his omniscience, lest We sud-
denly become fools and idiots, and lose
all your friends, for, as to one man intox-
icated, all are drunk, so when you lose
this Solomon's friendship, all is lost.
What an oversight it was in the last
Legislature that they did not provide,
pains and penalties, that all men who
have differed, politically or personally,
should forever remain enemies orif they
should ever cease their hostilities, that
fact, with the particulars of the reconcile
alton, shall be published, not less than
three months, in the Lawrence Republi-
can, before they should be permitted to
speak with each other. In my ignorance
1 had supposed that the general burial Of
hatchets last winter, in the dining room
of the Morrow House, in presence of the
editors of the Republican and large num-
Der of distinguished witnesses, was sufi-
cient notice that Brown and myself had
quit quarreling over past issues, and buried
our old hatchets for the good of Kansas
but it seems that twas not done up right
and hence the necessity of law on the
subject. (By the way, if Mr.. 7. has been
and dug up those old hatchets, he had
better be careful about using them, for il
mistake not, Browns hatchet cuts both
wsys.)
1 guess will not join brother T. in hii
prayer that his enemy would "write {
book" for my enemy, if 1 have one, i,
already writing soriter, and that will de-
him.
1 hope Mr.. 7. will not suppose tina
these are Senatoriap communications
by no means. When l write those, shal
take some dignifed subject. These art
mere "mudsill" communications, which
J sometimes indulge in, in order to make
friends. Friendless and forlorn, 1 remain
yours, c. R.
P. ST. wonder if he who talked lik,
the following had any manliness: "Y
have heard that it hath been said, thol
shalt love thy neighbor and hate thin
5 enemy. But 1 say unto you, love you
: enemies, bless them that curse you, d
good to them that hate you, and pray 70
5 them which despitefully use You and per
secute you. For if ye love them whicl
love you, what reward have ye? Do no
l even the publicans* the same? And if y
l salute your brethren only, what do y
= more than others Do not even the pub
: licans so ?'
Supposed to be q misprint for Republican.
