Some two or three months ago We no.
ticed in our columns that we wanted
couple of printers Immediately, qualified
for book work. On the strength of that
notice, we are every few days in the re-
eeipt of letters from printers desiring the
situation, if not filled.
We are happy to state that the places
were promptly filed, and that we have a
full complement of compos!tors, press
men, jobbers, &c, who viii do honor to
any Office. The mechanical arrangement
Of the Herald of Freedom, and the regu
larity OF its appearance, is the highest
evidence we can offer of the ability of Mr.
CUTLEg, as foreman in the newspaper of
fee; while the statutes of Kansas, which
We are printing, will show for themselves
that Mr.. TRAsK, the foreman of the book
department., is at home in the business.
The neatness of the press work, both on
the newspaper and book jo6, is guaranty
that we have no need of any other press,
man than Mr.. McALLIsTER. In the gene
ral jobbing department, all we need say
IS that Mr.. WBITcoMB, who served his

tain Indian lands would come into market
soon. 1t is also rumored that he would
become millionaire if these lands were

as the Free State party, Cf he had the
pOwer,) to the present delectable Demo-
cratic Administration, to accomplish this
result. OF course we do not believe these
rumors.-Ffeedomss Champion.
But the best part of the rumor, undoubt-

have sold out cheap. But Buchanan said
