The "copy" for the INDEX to the laws
was placed in the laid; Of the printers
on Tuesday last. All possible dispatch
will now be employed in putting the
same in type, and working it off for the
binder. It's probable that in a couple Of
weeks copies of the laws will be in the
hands Of Mr.. WALSH for delivery to
County Clerks who will distribute them to
township and county officers. No person
need apply at the HERALD OF FREEDOM
Office for copies provided by the govern
ment as the 800 copies ordered by the
Secretary of the Territory will only be
delivered to him. We shall have about
forty copies only of the laws which will
be bound up and sold to persons desiring
them for five dollars. We have a few
copies of the laws of 1858 for sale at a
reduced price, to wit: The General Laws,

The Territorial Convention.

A Republican Delegate Convention is
called to be held at Lawrence, the Sd day
Of August, 1859.
We notice that the apportionment is
much fairer towards the smaller counties,
than those previously made. If due no.
tice is given of primary meetings for the
selection of delegates, the people may
have fair representation but in all
probability, the wires will be laid for the
return of men in league with the central
clique at Lawrence. Let it be remem-
bered, that the people of Douglas county,
were misrepresented at the last county
Convention, by men who were self-ap-
pointed, and used the power placed in
their hands to secure their own nomina-
ton. Also that the President of the
OsawatOmie Convention, was a self-ap-
pointed delegate from Coffey county.
Perhaps Phillips advice to the party,
to be ian honest party" may be needed,
but there is no reason to think it will
Watch the triCksters closely, and if they
are not fair in the formation Of the dele
cations, repudiate them. A party which
calrot be trusted in nominating conven-
tons, is unit to control the government.
The Wyandott Gazette remarks as fol-
lows, about the apportionment:
This Central Committee has allotted to
Wyandott county three delegates, and to
johnson county SCI; whereas, we are
entitled by any just estimate, to at least
an equal representation. If the calcula-
ton Is based either on the Republican OF
the total vote, the result is the same
We are 10th to believe, that bold eff
fort is made by the committee to cheat us
and yet cannot discover how the mistdk
could have happened. Unless a salts
factory explanation is granted, we shall
not support the nominee of that conven
ton. We have been DISTINGUISHED lon.
enough.

T,,n,,pd Dollar Donation to Freedom.


The fourth volume of the HERALD OF
r,rvpoM will soon close. Though we
odsinally contemplated that our Kansas
.,,ugple for freedom would be considera-
Nv protracted, yet it has been extended
,l-oggh a much longer period than an
,;.i,ated. IL has always been our pur-
"a to close our connection with the
nublic press On the complete triumph of
free principles on Kansas soil. This is
tbo twelfth year since our connection with
psxspaperdom, two years longer than we
rv,posed when we first became connected
with the press. Fortune has not wholly
fDwned upon Us in that period. We have
seen many bright, Joyous days, and, gen
orally. there has been "silver lining" TO
every cloud. With the close of the 4th
vol of the HERALD OF FREEDOM, we are
extremely anxious to close up business
and give place to another. We believe
,ba. we can offer inducements to some
good man to engage in business in Law
renee superior to that which can be found
elsewhere,
We have first class printing Office,
with hand and power-presses, and an
almost endless variety of JOB type, for
any amount of business also large list
of paying subscribers and regular adyer-
tisers, with good book bindery, and
handbook mandatory attached. We
would prefer to sell to Republican who
would labor to h1rmonize the anti slavery
clement of Kansas. To make it an OBJ
iect for such a person to undertake the
enterprise, we wW make donation to him
If one thousand dollars in material, OF
sell the establishment one thousand dol
lars less than good judges will say the
Office is worth. If Republicans do not
consent to tuy it on these terms, we shall
deem it proper to sell to any party who
will pay us our price for the same, though
We shall try and stipulate, that it shall
continue Independent, as in the past, unit
Kansas is q State in the Union.
II there are any parties who wish t.
buy on those terms, now is the time t.
make the strike, for there is no time t
lose. Remember, genuine anti slaUer,
men who will labor to build up ant
harmOnize the anti-slavery element o
Kansas will have the preference.
