The kanxax Election.

There can no longer be any doubt as to the
result of the election of members of the Leg
islature in kanzas. The pro-slavery ticket
has carried everywhere. even IN those dis
tricis where every SETTLER nearly WAS oppos-
ed TO slavery Here is an account of the re-
suit in the Missouri Republican of the Cd in

Election passed off quietly. and with very lit
tie disturbance.
And here is the explanation of 1t:

hundred returning emigrants from kanzas
have just entered city. They were pre-
ceded by the Westport and Independence
Brass Bands. They came in at the west side
of the public square. and proceeded entirely
around it, the bands cheering us with fine
music and the emigrants with good news. Inn
