The Kansas herald of freedom., 1858-07-10

It is not an unfrequent remark and COM
plaint Of the E4stern subscribers and
readers of our Territorial papers-thst
we publish so little important or startling
Territorial news. compared with Eastern
papers. From a letter lately received ct
this place We quote the following for the
purpose of making some remarks which
we think will show the difficulty IN its
right light:
There is not much Territorial news
in your papers. The Eastern papers con-
tain FIVE times more news from Kansas
than papers printed in the Territory
Whit about those numerous affrays and
depredations that are almost daily COM
mitred? see nothing of them in your
papers, comparatively. Our Eastern pa
pers are teeming with news of that kind;
they seem to know more of Kansas af-
fairs than you who live there. We have
accounts of large parties that have organ
lied themselves and invaded Missouri, and
that the. Missourians have armed them
selves fully for the expected attack OF the
Free State marauders, led on by the noto-
rious jim LANE Let Us know more of
this matter"
The above is taken from letter dated
in New York, June 9th, 1858. and is q
fair sample of many that We have seen
and heard Of. Now we explain all this
by calling the attention ofthe people to the
swarm of Eastern news. makers which
travel through cur country, hired espe-
cally for the purpose of flooding the
E ,stern States with startling news from
this point, which is the theatre of so
much political interest and importance.
The time was when the news received
in the East from his place was not made
up of exaggerations and fancies, when
perhaps the whole Of the fearful realities
tharthen existed were not exhibited, but
at that time the letter writers were per-
sons who hail come here to All almost
unknown country to settle, and whose
interest was 10 make their statements as
carefully as possible, so as to quiet the
fears of those near and dear left behind,
and to induce as far as possible hasty
immigration into the country, knowing
that that was the most sure mode OF set
ding our difficulties.
Now the matter is entirely changed,
our country has become more popuious,
and political affairs comparatively quiet,
and under the control of majority
Our Territory is now full of Eastern cor
respondents under high salaries, who come
out here without the slightest knowledge
Of our country, politically or socially. and
circulate through the Territory, feeling
c, m ,elled by the position they occupy to
wit, in such way that their letters will
attract attention. Having no real founda-
ton on which to build their romantic
castles, they pick up every little social and
personal rencounter or quarrel, and mag
nify it an hundred fold, giving /: the
color of their own political bias and COM
plexion, then forward by express to their
employers. These are nine tenths OF the

Now for enc of orr papers to publish
that style of literature, would at once
brand il in its own community as lying
