ne Of his land ten fold in the future,
either annually in increase, or in the sale
of his land, and that without paying out
q single cent
| s. Such mortgage would not hinder
the owner in the least if he should be un-
der the necessity Of mortgaging the same
to raise money for some other purpose
but the road mortgage would always make
it easier sold, or re-mortgaged, because il
would increase its value every year as
years roll on, the interest in the road be-
ing inseparable from the land forever.
6. This proposition will answer to start
any kind of public works, or any joint
stock company. I always thought it q
poor plan to look to Congress for assis-
lance to carry on our public works. We
should always learn todepend on our own
resources. The farmers are too apt to
think it the business of merchants and
spectators to carry on such works. But
that is great mistake; they have as good
a chance, and often better, than many
others, and they always reap the most
benefit from such improvements.
Z. All of US would like to make money,
especially whom we can do it without lay
ing out any money at all. This is the
way to do it, and hope this plan VIII be
fairly tried before it is condemned. Az
for myself, am quite ready to pitch in.

In Jail

A young man, aged about twenty-eight
with many aliases, whose parents live in
Toronto, Canada, and whose real name
according to papers found in his posses
sion, is Henry James Wilson, was ar
raigned for horse stealing, before Justice
Howard and Hening, on Saturday last,
was convicted, and, in default Of bail, was
lodged in the county Jail. He formerly
lived in Buffalo, N. Y, and it is believed,
is the same person, disguised as . Catho-
lie priest, whom the Chicago and ST. Louis
police were after some weeks since, and
who escaped on an up Missouri river boat
He is an Englishman, well featured, and

~ James Wilson,
The horse and buggy, for which he wa
overtaken and convicted here, belonged
to McCarty & Greenlesse; and it appear,
that he has been travelling this way from

Mr.. EDIToR-SIR IL noticed a ~.

Of the mines. As 1 have Just rs,un.a

from being imperfect.
According to his own account bs LA

they found q few men at work mo,,,r
with pans, making from three to four doi

The best diggings that were worked
when We left, were from FIVE to ten mils.

ever were, as can be proved by men WIN
returned with US, and who were with
Smedley all the time he was there. Tia
Georgians who were left on the Platte bv
Smedley and his company, were still
there when we left. They had spen. tn,
Summer in prospecting the country, and
are highly satisfied with the result. They
showed one thousand or fifteen hundred
dollars Of gold dust, which they had
washed out with pans and rockers.
The reason why our party, who have
returned. have brought in no mora gold, !,
because We were in the gold country but
few days, and spent our whole time in
prospecting. We found from five cent?

Cheering Indications.

The receipts of the Herald of Freedom
Office have been greater the last week than
during the entire four weeks directly pre-
ceding it. With these substantial evil
dences that our services are appreciated,
we feel more hopeful, and feel more like
laboring to keep alive and publish good
paper in Lawrence. Disguise it as we
may, when our services meet with no re-
Enumeration, or when compelled to sacrifice
means to keep our paper afloat, we don't
feel half as cheerful, and can't make half
as good paper as we can with our "pock-
cts full ofrocks." We frequently think Of
the preacher who was in the habit of Dor.
rowing ten dollars each Sabbath morning,
before entering the pulpit, and returning
the same money at the close of his ssrvic-
es. On one occasion he wished twenty
five dollars. Said the friend, of whom he
was in the habit of making the loan:
"What use do you make of the money
you borrow of me so regularly, returning
the same piece so promptly? have
observed it for some time, and this morn
ing you want twenty-five dollars"
"The truth is, BROTHER" was the modest
reply, "I am extremely destitute in my
family, and frequently find it difficult fol
want of means, to sustain myself through
the week. A few dollars of money il
my pocket, when in the pulpit, makes me-
more Independent. of surrounding circum.
stances, and feel while preaching tina
the future existence of myself and family
is not dependent upon the caprice of thos,
who have occasion to listen to my minis
traitor. To-day / feel called upon t.
attack the enemy, who has disguiseG
himself, and crept into our own church
I know it will create q storm to expos,
him; but my duty to God demands it
and feel that it will require twenty-fv,
dollars to give me that independence
which will qualify me for the task"
We have been struggling for several year
to do our whole duty, have labored to b,
an independent Journalist, and have en-
deavored to prove ourself such; but Their
are times when pressed with debts, ant
suffering the greatest inconvenience TO
the want of few dollars, we have fel
that with twenty-five dollars inourpsckei
which we could call our own, we coult
discharge the obligation which We hav'
imposed upon ourself more fearlessl!
thar we could under existing circumstan
ces. Pass up the rocks.

R.uuh,ie.uiuu.

freedoms Champion, of Atchison, has
urged the immediate organization OF the
Republican party in Kansas, or the en-
grating of Republication upon the Free
State party. In its last number it does us
the Justice to show that we have opposed
this movement with great pertinacity. but
it attempts through column and a half ar
ticle to show that our positions are incor-
rect, and wishes US to reconsider Them
The editor labors to show that the argu-
ments we employed against the Topeka
Consultation, are Just as valid against the
Big Springs platform. In this the editor
eru. The only bond which holds the
Free State party together, is that plat
form. Ifthat bond is divided, we should
fall to pieces at once. No new platform
could be made sufficiently broad to en-
brace all the present elements Of the par
ty. Our own belief, founded upon extern
tive observation, is, that if the party was
dissolved and Republican party was or
ganized upon its ruins, the Democracy
would organize and triumph in nearly
every county in this Territory. 1t has
been for this reason, and this only, that
we have opposed the organization of a
Republican party. We have had no de-
sire to see two Democratic Senators rep
resenring Kansas in the Senate of the
United States, and yet such will be the
result if parties are organized upon q ma
tional basis prior to our admission into
the Union.
We know it is not polite to make this
acknowledgment, and yet the radicals are
determined on having our principal rea-
sons for opposing the mad movement Of
these professed friends of freedom.
The radicals had purposed to have or.
ganized on the 10th inst. So well were
their intentions known to the public, the
Democrats of tho Territory, on the
strength of that movement, called Con.
vention to meet at Leavenworth On tbs
25th inst, to organize on a Democratic
basis. Instead of trying to play pirate, and
rob the Free State party of its name, they
have come out openly and called a Dem
ocratic Convention to organize Demo
cratic party. What will be the result
Why, the party lines will be drawn, ant
we shall have Democratic and Republi
can party here at once. We hope tn
radical journals will be wise enough II
rally around and maintain the Free Stat,
organization on the Big Springs platform
against all opposition. Unless they d.
so, they must expect defeat.
We are getting weary of this struggle
and would chserfully retire from it coul'
we consistently do SO. If the issue, how
ever, is to be forced upon US of Democra
cy Us. Republicanism, we have no inclina
ton to remain in the fight, and shall YER
quietly retire, not that we shall have n
choice between these parties; on the con
trary, our sympathies must necessarily b
with the latter; but the mission whic
brought US to Kansas, will be ended, an
we shall seek a more congenial employ
ment in some other calling.
