NORMAN ALLEN, Esq.--DEAR SIR:
Yours Of the llth instant arrived
only to-day. The recent high, waters
have detained the mails for q week
past. This has been quite a privation,
as we usually receive our mails regu-
larly three tines q week from Law
renee and Kanzas City, by four horse
coaches running through to Fort
Scott. They arrive here in day and
a half from Lawrence, stopping over
night at Osawatomie.
A person acquainted with Kanzas
affairs need have no difficulty in un-
derstanding our troubles here. Here
are the same actors, the same outra-
ges, the same resistance, and the
same calumnies in the Pro-Slayery
or Democratic press, as in years past.
j trusted to your experience, and to
your instincts, to comprehend the
whole matter, thinking it useless to
write. About yourself, ! was not
mistaken but the public seem TO
have very short memory. Torelresh
this, | will refer back to '55 and '56,
when Capt. b. Walker, now Sheriff
Of Douglas County and U. S. Deputy
Marshal, headed a band of brave men
and met the RulIians and held them
in check till they were finally defeat
cd, and how the Prc-Slavcry press
howled on his track, and tho courts
issued their writs, and the officials,
with The U. s. Dragons at their hcels,
hunted him from one covert to an
other, and did not find him til the

1t is indeed encouraging to know
that printers arc occasionally duly
appreciated. The. following extract
from the report of the Committee
on Printing, Of the Legislature Of
Wisconsin, pays q refreshing COM
pliipent to editors and printers
Read il: "We are not aware that
printers and newspaper proprietors
are class Of SO little use in the COM
munity, orso destructive Of its inter
ests, as to be entitled to but half com
pensation for the labor and services
which they perform. But your com
mittee do believe that no class OF
men perform more gratuitous scrvi-
cos for all general and local interests,
or are moro actively and eflectually
engaged in disseminating informa-
ton, making known the resources Of
tho country, and melting to action
the energies Of the people, than the
printers, proprietors and editors ol
newspapers"
Freeman's champion., 1858-07-01
Always Finding Fault.

There are certain people who can
not live without finding fault. No
matter what subject, orperson, comes
up in the course of conversation, they
start some frivolous objection, or
make some censorious remark. In
stead of trying to be in charity with
their neighbors, they take malicious
pleasure in speaking evil about them.
They obstinately shut their eyes to
good qualities while they employ
microscopes to discover and magnify
evil ones and Afterwards they tor
ture language to exagerate what they
have seen, SO as to depreciate as much
as possible.
The provcrbial fault-fnder little
thinks that, in .censuring so malic-
iously and malignantly, he is only
painting his own portrait. 1t is a
secret consciousness Of his dsmerits,
gnawing rage at the superiority Of
others, (which is the real cause OF his
charity, the principal inducement to
his abuse. His own heart is the mir
ror from which he describes mankind.
The best men have been those inva-
riably who spoke the most kindly Of
their race. The great type Of all
manhood, whose perfect humanity is
the admiration even Of Pagans and
Atheists; ever spoke in benignant
terms, having charity even for "pub-
licans and sinners" II is to his pre-
cepts that we owe tho great doctrine
of human brotherhood. We never
listen to the benefcent language fhim
who isin charity with his race, with
out feeling that he is advancing more
and more to :" tho perfect man"
