Fremont, but in day or two, upon
promising TO retract and apologize, was
graciously permitted to resume its pub

from the Cleveland Herald, one of, the
most rabid abolition papers at the North,
tells Of an attempt now being made to
| stop its ejaculation. In fact there is now
no freedom of speech or action at the
! North, and all law is unhesitatingly set
| aside hen it clashes in the slightest de-

God for the marked contrast the South
| presents to all this! Here we still breathe
the pure, free air of heaven. The free
dom of speech and of the press is un-

garded, AID The humblest individual is

And while we are all prepared and viii
ling to suffer ali the trials and sufferiugs
we may be called upon to endure, while
struggling for our liberties against a
powerful foe that is maddened at the
glowing prospect before him, and is de-
termined, if possible, to subjugate US, we
look to the future with unswavering con-
fdence, and when our independence is
secured We will enter upon a career
which, under the blessings of Heaven,
will soon make us the freest, the hap
piest, the most independent, and the most
prosperous nation on the face of the
globe.

From the Cleveland Herald of Nov 21st
20 OUR READERS ON THE LINE OF THE MA
HoNING RAILROAD.
| 1t becomes necessary to explain TO our
readers and subscribers along the line of
the Mahoning Railroad, the cause of the
Herald's failure for day or two back.
On Tuesday word came to US that Mr..
Chas. L. Rhodes, the Superintendent of
the Mahoning Railroad, had declared
that the Cleveland Herald should not be
carried upon any of the trains upon that
read, under penalty of a discharge to
any person who attempted to carry said
paper. Wishing to protect ourselves
and those who got their papers by pack :
age, we Immediately made an arrange
ment with the Express Company for
| transmission of our packages. The
packages on Tuesday afternoon were so
carried by the express messenger, and on
| Wednesday afternoon were taken from
our office by the messenger TO the train,
| but under orders from Mr.. Rhodes were
taken from the carve suppose when
| the messenger was not presont-and re-
turned tie our officce with notice that no
HeraIds could go over that road.
| Why this extraordinary proceeding by
| the Superintendent we cannot explain,
and of course there can be no explanation
to Justify such an outrage upon our rights
and those of our readers.
| We expect to remedy this thing, and
presume our express will not be again
molested.
| ]. If those who have depended upon the
train boys for paper will have patience
for day or two, we have no doubt the
unwarrantable order of the Superinten-
dent will be revoked. We make this ex-
| planation that our disappointed readers
may know to whom they owe this treat
! ment. 3
