Negro Inaurreo,ion

The telegraph announces that an insur-
rection among the negroes has broken out
at HarpeI's Ferry, Va. 1t seems to be
headed by old John Brown and four 9th.
ers, late from this Territory. Only some
two hundred persons were concerned-
The plan seemed to be to take possession
of the U. S. Armory, pluuder the treasu-
ry and raise the devil generally. The
Federal troops and others, at last advices,
had gone to quell the insurrection.-
Brown is crazy, but "he has method in
his madness" and is dangerous person
to be at liberty. The idea of successful
negro insurrection, in the heart of Vir
ginia, is just as impracticable as it is for a
few crazy fanatics like Brown, Redpath
and Lane, to overthrow the Federal Gov
ernment by acts of theirs. Poor, silly fel-
lows A straight jacket should be theil
reward, for they lack moral responsibility
because Of lunacy.
Since writing the above, later news au-
nOunces the capture of the Armory, the
fatal wOunding of Capt Brown, and the
death of his son. Brown talked freely
and says his object was to free the slaves

Advertise

If our business men would succeed in
making Lawrence the great commercial
emporium Of Kansas, they must advertise
more literally. Several of them are do
ing their full share towards inviting trade
here, particularly Mr.. SOLOMON. He seems
to understand the secret Of success in bus
mess first, to have something to sell
second, to tell the people of it, bring it
home to every mans door aud, third,
when customer calls on him, instead of
trying to maxi fortune out of him, deal
with him in such a manner that he will
be sure to call again, and bring his friends
with him.
Some of our business men content them
selves with advertising in single paper
which indorSes their political views, or
for short time, aud then seem to think
they have done all that is necessary TO en-
sure large trade. II it is politics which
men have to sell, it is proper that they
should advertise only in those papers of
their own political school; or if their OBJ,
lect is only to sustain the paper to which
they give their patronage but il, on the
contrary, their desire is to sell GOODS,
without regard to the politics of the pur-
chaser, then they should advertise in any
paper which has large list of readers,
and that paper with the largest circulation
within the range Of trade is the best one
in which to advertise.
The best evidence of the prosperity of
place is large number of advertisers in
their city papers. Our Lawrence mer-
chants have been very negligent of their
best interests, but we are not without hope
that with the heavy stock Of goods row
in market, they will feel the necessity of
making their business more generally
known.
For an advertising medium, we know
the HERALD OF FREEDOM does not occupy
a secondary position to any paper in Kan
sas. Its circulation is very large, and is
just where it is most needed 10 advance
the material interests of this vicinity.
With papers now in nearly every county
in Kansas, it will of course be expected
that from this forth ours will be moro de-
voted to sectional interests than in the
past, not neglecting, however, to do full
justice to every locality in which the
HERALD circulates.
| While we respectfully invite our mer.
chants and traders to consider these mat
ters, we would also invite our present sub.
scribers to lend us their influence in Civ.
ing a wider circulation to the HERALD OF
FREEDOM, that its influence for good may
,, be still greater in the Territory.

Trade Of LRWroncO

With the completion of the road across
the Wakaruss bottoms, Lawrence will be
one of the most accessible towns in Kan
sas during the winter, when Kansas roads
are almost impossible. Such being the
case, and with the enormous stocks of
goods in the Lawrence market, everybody,
and his wife, will be sure to visit the town
and do his trading here. No longer will
our merchants and business men think of
supplying Pixies Peak emigrating parties,
but will labor to outfit the honest agricul-
turists of southern and south western
Kansas, and intercept business here which
has for years been pouring through here
to Leavenworth and Kansas city.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1859-10-22

W A merchant from Boston, visiting
the store of the FILLMoRE's, remarked
the other day, that they had the finest
stock of dress and staple dry goods, and
best put up of any he had seen in Kan
sas. A deserved compliment we believe.
Reader, call on them. a-
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1859-10-22

@ A recent brief trip to some of the
river towns has satisfied US, fully, that
Lawrence is doing more business, and has
more brilliant future before it, than any
other town in Kansas, unless, perhaps,
Leavenworth or Atchison. The latter is
in fair way to outstrip all competition,
and we feel like excepting her in all cases.
Leavenworth has overdone, and must suf-
fer relapse in consequence.

0F There are probably double, if not
treble the amount of goods in Lawrence
at this time, than were ever before exhib-
tied in town. Dry goods, groceries, hard
ware, crockery, boots and shoes, clothing,
iron and nails, in short, everything, are
here in the greatest abundance, to supply
both the wholesale and retail trade. SOL
ONION has beat himself, and bids defiance
to all competition. His stock is general,
and embraces every department Of mer-
chsndise, and every variety Of pattern.
The FILLMoRE's are fully up to the times,
with an endless stock for the ladies'
BARKER is fully up to the times with his
stoves and hardware. SUTLIFF, with hats,

pared to supply the whole country, and
DALTON is not a whit behind. DUNCAN

each heavily stocked with groceries and
all will be sold before spring opens, or W,

Upon next Saturday, the Republicans Of the
various precincts in this county are to select
the delegates to county convention which. in

county in the Territorial Convention for the

primary meetings on that day will determine who
that candidate shall be. Let the people look
well to this matter. II is for them to say whether
We shall have a candidate who will stand square

Passing the Eldridge House the other

shelves loaded down with manufactured

too, made expressly for him, and stamped
with his name. were just such as every
