If by the liberty of the press we understand merely the liberty of discussing the propriety of public measures and political opinions, let us bare as much of it as too please; bnt if it mean the liberty of affronting, calumniating and defam-iaj on another. for my part, own myself will-isc to part with mr share of it wheneTer oar legators shall please to alter the law and ball cheerfully consent to exchange mjr liberty abusing others for the privilege of not being tbmi myself. Franiltn. Hews from Waihingion. The Senate passed a resolution! nvit-jag a committee of conference from the House, which was considered on the 14th iusL, and after a severe strtijgle was finally carried fcy the casting rote of the Speaker the voting standing 108 to 108.

On the 15th the clerk of the House notified the Senate cf the appointment of the Committee of Conference, which consists of Messrs. English, Stevens and Hoard. The Lecomptonites are jet hopeful of finally carrying their infamous fraud through Congress, and this vote, though a small one, indicates a possibility of it Whilst we feel to rejoice for victories already won, we are frank to admit that we are not yet out of the woods. 0Gov. Waxkeb's recent letter to the Democracy of New Jersey, dated Ho-boken, March 27th, is the best thing we haTe seen from his pen, and shows that his heart is in the right place.

Sold out to Gov. Walker," was the contemptible language of our enemies last summer. Now they are silent as death on that subject, as they are about 44 Brown's Cellar Kitchen nominations." 5" Congress has resolved to adjourn on the 1st Monday of June. A Suggestion. The Tecumseh Settler has some suggestions in regard to the coming land sale which probably can be turned to practical account without much difSculty.

We extract: We are aware that a largo porportion of the settlers of Kansas are unprepared, at present, to pay for their lands. They have been compelled to submit to so many troubles, plunderings and outrages, that they are mostly reduced to comparative poverty, and yet their industry, enterprise and obstinacy do not desert them. The lands advertised for sale in July are very valuable and mostly occupied by pre-eraptors or surrounded by improved claims. Eastern capitalists can now make safe and profitable investments, by loaning to settlers at comparatively moderate rates. A few hundred thousand dollars would be a great help to our people at present, if loaned at 15 to 20 per cent, per annum.

This our people can afford to pay and will pay willingly. If those who were so anxious to assist "bleeding Kansas" a year or two ago, will now loan their funds to the settlers, they can do more good than was ever effected by "Sharp's rifles." The ruling rates now are 4 and 5 percent a month. We have no expectation that the sales will be postponed. The whole matter was considered fully in the Cabinet and the policy will be carried out The right course for the people of Kansas to pursue is to secure 83 much competition as possible, by urging their friends and Eastern capitalists to send hither as much money or as many Land Warrants as possible for investment and location. Fear not the darkest hour is just before day! "The question naturally arises, what is to be done by those who can get neither money or land-warrants, wherewith to pre-empt? Of course there are thousands of vacant quarter sections which can and will be sold to the highest bidder, without any opposition or objection on the part of the settlers.

These will afford to capitalists all the opportunity they can desire for investment and speculation. But it will be necessary for the settler to unite for their own protection and form organizations in the several Townships, either municipal or surveyed, to secure their "As will bo seen by the above notice, all pro-emptors must pay up before the day of sale or they forfeit their right The land will then be put up at auction. If bid in by the General Government, (no speculator or outsider bidding or be ing permitted to bid on such land) the occupant can immediately fie notice of his pre-emption anew, build a new shanty and aate us pre-emption from the time of sack fling. He will thes be entitled to TWELVE K0WTHS WITH HT WHICH TO PAT fob his land, such being the law in relation to pre-emptions upon lands sub ject to private entry. In order to provide for this contingency, we suppose, the proclamation of the President prohibits any private entries of lands offered at the firsf sale, between July 5th and 19th, and of tanas ottered at the second sale between July 19th ana Auzust 2d.

But this will not preclude actual settlers and residents from filing their notices anew and claim lng their pre-emDtion rights. No man must be permitted to lose his claim for want of means to pay for it immediately. vi are requested to give notice that a public meeting of the settlers of Shaw nee county, will be held at the Court uousein Tecumseh, on Saturday, April 24th, at 12 o'clock noon, to effect a county organization for. the protection of pre- emptors, and transact such other business maT be necessary.

Jl Grand lodge of Good Templars. A Grand Lodge of Good Templars for Kansas Territory, was organized in this city on Tuesday and Wednesday last. Ten subordinate Lodges were represented. A. N.

BicKXincE, of Tecumseh, was elected Grand W. C. Miss E. L. Smith, G.

W. V. Miss Heles M. Hewitt, G. W.

Mr. Jexeis of Lawrence, G. W.S.; Mr.Miu.EB, of Topeka, G. W. T.

A Constitution for the Grand Lodge was adopted and a committee was appointed to prepare a Constitution for subordinate Lodges. Grand Lodge was located at Lawrence, and the first annual meeting is. to be held on the first Wednesday of May. We understand that there are thirteen Lodges now in active operation in the Territory, and a large number of others will be instituted'at an early day. Wher ever the Order has been established, the greatest good has resulted from it.

Leavenworth Constitution. The.Leavenworth.i5eZ?r is not pleased with the Leavenworth Constitution. We copy We have not yet seen this document, but from the synopsis of it as published in both the Lawrence papers, we confess that we are inclined to dislike it. Most of its provisions are, as a matter of course, similar to those in the Lecompton and Topeka Constitutions and the Constitutions of all the States but in two essential points it is objectionable to the people of Kansas. It partakes too strongly of the Ritchey-abolition school.

The right of suffrage is conferred upon all male inhabitants oyer 21 years" which will include mulattoes and Indians, whether they have adopted tho customs of the white man or not 'The other point is the equality of white and negro children in the free schools to be established by law. If ap proved bv the people, negroes will be en titled to equal privileges with the whites, under the Leavenworth Constitution. We dont believe in, nor can we recognize, the equality of the negro race. We want to make Kansas a Free White State, and exclude negroes entirely." "Had the bill authorizing tno late Convention been passed without a doubt in regard to its legality, thousands of per sons who remained at home would have participated in the late election for delegates and thus have voted and secured a more conservative tone in the instrument offered. As it is it will be hard work to rally the people to the support of the new document and the ridership of the old jockies, as long as thero is the remotest prospect of Congress giving us anything but the Lecompton Constitution under the Senate bill.

As passed by the House with the Crittenden amendment, perfect fairness and equality can be obtained, and all par ties will vote and readily submit to the result. The child's play of forming constitution after constitution, with the ex press design of rendering it so objectionable to a large proportion of the people as to induce them to refrain from paying any attention to it, or voting under it by which means theframers hope to have everything their own way if successful, de'serves rebuke. We hop that Congress will speedily adopt either Douglas's or Crittenden's bill in relation to Kansas. The people of the Territory would be satisfied with either. It is folly for the Bepublicans or Democrats to at tempt longer, by intrigues and ciiicanery, to control the people at large.

Congress will not admit us under the Lieaven worth Constitution." The Kansas Chief is disposed to give the Constitution a cold shoulder. The editor says "We learn from a gentlemen just from Leavenworth, that the Constitutional Convention has finished its labors, and ad journed. The result will no doubt be published to the world forthwith, somehow, we have had, and still have, a notion that this business is premature that, whatever be the fate of the Lecompton Constitution, the labors of thi Conven tion will have been for nought But it will do to keep people awake, and to keep up brisk times." J. H. Clarpoole.

We regret to notice the death of J. H. Claypoole, for several years resident of this citv. He breathed hi3 last near Mt Car- mel, Illinois, among friends who loved him while living, and mourn him now dead. He was a partner in the House of Claypoole 2ewoy.

Many will lament his death here all who Know nim lor he was an honest man. Leavenworth Times. A Gem from the Crusader of Freedom. To SrBSCBIBER3 AND EXCHANGES. I have entered into partnership with Robert St.

Clair Graham, who will attend to the business affairs of the office. I will continue to edit the Crusader of Freedom, which will resume its original size, and appear regularly every week, as soon as we can get a new staa oi printers. The Crusader of Freedom, henceforth, will not be the organ of any party, or of anv man. the Editor alone excepted, and will refuse to snpport any ticket or any rjolitical aspirant who does not announce himself openly a3 a Republican. Re-sarding the Free State party as an orga nized Hvpocrisv, kept up solely for the Durrose oi promoting ine puuutaiuesiirii of a number of ambitious demagogues I Shall refuse to fight under that banner any longer, but will hoist the Republican Flag.

Kansas is free. The mission of the ree State party ended. There is no organized Pro-slavery partv in Kansas now, and no possible use of any organized 0( position to nothing. Uut there ere two distinct political parties in Kansas the Republicans and the Democrats and the tendency of the present ree state organi zation is to invest the Uemocrats wun power.5 If they are in a majority, we are willing to submit to their rule but believing as we do that they are in a hopeless minority, we shall hereafter respectfully decline to vote for them. Having bn nearly ruined by the conduct of Gen.

James LL Lane, I shall not continue to write his Autobiography, Articles, Reports, or any other of his effusions, nor publish, them, except as Advertisements, when they are written by other young men who have not yet been deceived by his specious promises. Gen. Lane will have no control, direct or indirect over the columns of this journal; and if any attempt is made by him, or by. any of his agents, to renew the disturbances in the Territory, I shall oppose him as resolutely as I would resist any other aspiring politician. The illustrations which we promised, will appear as soon as we can recover from the losses wo have met in consequence of our foolish faith in a politician's worcu i Having now received a local support; we will hereafter give more attention to the'interests of the city and county.

We will resolutely oppose all mob law here. It has been necessary, because thero was no Government But now, having a municipal organization, it is the duty of every citizen to put down at any and every cost the further supremacy of mob rale, and we shall heartily sustain effort shall be made to enforce obedience to the law.

It should be known, however, that all such acts of incorporation have no force until they have been approved by Uongress. We call at tention to the act of Congress, approved July 1, 1836, which may be found on page 01 of the otn volume ot tne btatutes at Large "Be it Exacted, fec. That no act of the Territorial Legislature of any of the Territories of the United States, incorporating any bank, or any institution with banking powers or privileges, hereafter to be passed, shall have any force or effect whatever until approved and confirmed by Congress." The act of Congress organizing Kansas Territory, declares that the Constitution and all laws of the United btates, not locally inapplicable, shall have the same force and effect within the lemtory of Kansas as elsewhere within the United States, excepting the 8th section of the act preparatory to the admission of Missouri into the Union. The same provision is in that part which, organizes Ne braska. Baiae Grain.

The farmers of Kansas cannot raise too much crain this season. Every bushel of wheat, oat3, ana corn raisea, enncnes vj its market valne. this Territory. "We must surpl the home marketat least, and should ba doing something in the way of exports, or we shall soon be bankrupt. Our merchants import rarge stocks of Goods, and drain the lerntory of ite medium to pay for them, Our provisions are purchased in ilissoun.

and are paid for in specie. VVe export nothing but cash; we import everything but cash. Such a course must eventually prove ruinous. The Land Offices, also assist in draining the country of money. And to supply all these deficits, we have only the hard do'lara brought in by speculators, emigrants and the Government annuities to the Indians.

The only remedy for this state of things is for us to produce every thing possible within ourselves. Then let every farmer raise all he can consume in his own family, or exchange for something that he cannot pro dnceor sell for cash. Too much wheat, oats, corn, potatoes, and garden-truck cannot be raised here. Then let every farmer exert himself to the utmost this season, to avert the "bard times' that we must necessarily have unless things are soon reversed, and we import specie instead pf exporting it Kansas Leader. FaiUipa the Great.

Some of the extra superfine Tree State papers are urging the claims of Wm. A Phillips, as the Free State candidate for Governor of Kansas. For God's sake, let us have an American citizen (or one who has been naturalized, at least,) for our first Governor; and let us have a person who has not gained the great bulk of his notoriety "by abasing good Free State men who do not agree 'with his conceited and and impracticable notions. With a certain elass, it is nothing but Phillips, Phillips! Phillips must be one of the nited States Senators, without fail; Phillips must be Governor; and Phillips must be everything else. We would respectfully suggest, that there are some other people in Kansas besides Phillips!

KANSAS TERRITORY W. EEOWSV Editor. Tba TTtb itr rv Furrr. tie eldest Free State paper published in Kansas Territory, waa established in tha Autumn ct end is ucwin its third volume. Its projecter bad been tha publisher of an independent news jonraal for several rears ia western resmarlvaai, wbfccn was.

devoted mainly to the ef moral and ncformatorr question, and fea-i devoted a great portion of iu colamss fa the dissuasion of temperance and aati-aiaverr reiorma. Enthusiastic loTer ef she right, be never hesitated to advocate anr mesare be deemed inst b- eanse it was. for the time being, sspopular. It always afford ot 1 im pleasure to eomnat error, whether sustained by individuals er masses, and it was his delieht te see aOiraj en the one band and Gonrraim on be other, yieblia to nrTB. When theMissonri Corrprnnitse was rereeled.

In the Spring of lfSC, be lot-ked over the field, of bis laooraw icat section 01 rwafjnin the great revolution there effected, acd the rrrra of still greater reforms taking root, and looking out cpon the expoeed eoeditioa of the ereat West, and the strong probability of ita becomina deeeerated to slavery, he resolved, a early the fore part of arch tf that rear, in adeoa er any Emigrant Aid Compear movement; aad in advance ef any other movement in any other direction in theNorthern State, te remove te Kansas with bis family and press, and through the isfia-ence of that press, aid, by "squatter sovereignty," in building bp a the soil of Kansas tboss restrictions against slavery, which demajgues, for sinister purposes, had broken down ia the uaiis or Congress. From that time forth thaprciecW ef this paper labored continuously tecTgane a eompanr to emigrate to Kansas, it was not uniu than two hundred names were regtstered for the. expedition that Mr. B. beard ef the Em'grant Aid Company, or of ita organisation chusetta.

He continued his efforts nntil tbewtlt of September, when SI.Ouu copies er tne ars. issue of the Ufrxild of Freedom were given to. ths Fublie from his power press ia 'irenmstanees. over which he bad eomrbl. delayed the publication cf bis journal in Kansas until the 3d ef Janrjf rj, 1S, wben the second number was issued.

It continued to be published with rreat regularitj. nntil the destrue-tionof his office, in May, VX, when the editor was imprisoned, and the paper was temporarily suspended. Through the exertions ef lrs. Brown, and the generous contributions 1 ue friends of the cause in Kansas, the paper was revived en the 1st of November. lfS.

bineetbat time, with the exception of three weeks in arc it has been regulany issued. The plan adopted by the publisher for restoring freedom to Kansa. was not by antiHlavery agitation, nor a eruade upon Southern institutions, but by developing the resources of the country, and neon re ring lonmjde emirratMm from the States, believing that iateret and early education would result ia the exclusion of slavery from the Territory. Devoted from youth to theUxiOH ef the States, and with implicit confidence in the ultimate triumph of the sight, be never turned aside from his purpose. At times his journal was violently assailed for its eotuerratiem.

and the Gar-risonian abolition press, with the IMxrmtor at its bead, denounced it in unmeasured terras; while the pro-slavery press, because cf its violent denunciations of the invaders from Missouri, snd ita unrelenting devotion to the Free State cause, denounced it as an abolition affair, and when the leaders of that party eonld not suppress by ether means, its editor was imprisoned aad the press destroyed. With its revival and tne addition of Mr. Wat-TU8. as one of its editors, who had been long known to the anti-slsyery public, and who was the co-laborer and joint proprietor with rM O. in the establishment and the Philanthropiet.

nearly a quarter ef a century ago, in Cincinnati, snd whs bad continued a devoted snd active friend of the cause down to the present, it was deemed proper to let by-rones be by-gones as far as possible, snd to go to work Benin with as little acrimony as possible, to invite among us a heavy emigration or permanent settlers, with the view of controlling the future destinies of the Territory. As both of the editors bad always cTPesed war and violence, it was deemed proper to discard the bayonet, and resort to the remedial influence of the ballot box for a redress of our political difficulties. When Gov. Geakt cam hers it was determined to sustain his administration so long as it seemed to the editors he was pursuing an impartial policy. This brought them ia connection with him, and the motives for many of bis acts which were not apparent to the public, were understood a long time in advance by them; but the confidential relations existing between the parties forbade Its publication, hence they were compelled for a time to rest under false imputations, preferring such to a breach of confidence on the one hand, or explanations to the publio on the other.

They felt that their long devotion to the cause, their sacrifices ia its behalf, and their exertions continuously to secure a tn-nmnh ftf nrinninln. entitled the confi dence of the public; and though assailed violently by partisans for pursuing this pol icy, they continued in the path marked out, and saw in the end their course approved by tbe Republican press, which bad been partisularly severe upon When Gov.

Its infiuenee in restraining the passions, in preventing civil strife, and in inspiring confidence at home and abroad is second to no other journal.

In looking over tbe country, and out upon the old well tried friends of the eaue, we nod eur' policy approved by nearly the whole of them.
