A Voice from Kansas.

If our readers woud know how wide
spread and deep isthe interest felt over
this whole Uuion in the coi'ring election
in this State, they will find the answer in
the following, which we clip from the
Kansas Tribune. ,
Three cheers for Ohio! The Buckeye
State all right Chase nominated fol
Governor; Ford for Lieut.. Governor
Brinkerhof, Supreme Judge ; and Kim
ball fer Att'y General. Now if the PEG
pie UfOhio will do as they say they will
elect them by 100000 majoliIy-iI
viii be a moral triumph unprecedented
in the history of our nation. Mr.. Chase
has a world wide reputation. and his
election VIII have a national effect thai
the election Of no other man could have.
We are glad he is nominated. 1t was he
who so boldly and nobly led the anti
slavery or amin ebraska forces in the
Senate during the struggle of the Kan-
ssas- Nebraska bill. Had his and his
faithful coadjutors' counsels prevailed,
Kansas to day would nave been in peace,
no body of men elected by foreign votes
would have been le.islaling for her, and
nc bloodshed would have occurred, but
all would have been quiet. But Atchi
son and Douglas assisted by a corrupt
Administration, triumphed and establish
ed what ley called Popular Sovereign
ty," or what poor old C4ss compliment
ed "Squatter Sovereignty" but which
in Kansas as carried out under the su.
perintendence of Atchison d Co., and
with the silent acquiescence of the Ad-
ministration, means that the people OF
Missouri Rave a right to invade the ter
ritory with cannon, rifle, revolver and
bowie knife, and impose Legislators and
laws upon us, contrary to our wishes.
Il has been frequently said hat Chase
was not representing the people Of Ohio.
We have even been told in Kansas, by
pro slavery men, that Ohio did not and
would not sustain Chase. They now
have a chance to speak out, and that, too,
in language ghatcannot be misunderstood
If the people of Ohio sanction the doctrine
Ofsquattersovereign ty as practiced in Kan
sas, and acquitsced in by the Admins
tration-if they woulu see our beautiful
territory, run over by an armed force
from arother State, and legislatures and
laws forced upon it, then let them vote
the Administ alton ticket, headed by
Medill a; but if they would see law and
order prevail in Kansas-if they believe
we have Alright to the protection of Con-
gress against the inroads of the hordes
from Missouri-then let them vote the
Republican ticket, headed by Chase
Ohio could not have formed n better
ticket. The triumph of Chase will be a
national triumph. 1t will be a triumph
for Kansas. The election of no other
man car have same effect. Ford won a
worldwide regulations at the National
Know Nothing Convention where the
stand he took endeared him to the. peo-
pie of Kansas. To the Buckeyes we say:
Go on-do your duty, the eyes of all
Kansas are upon you We almost wish
we could join and help fight the good
fight in Ohio, and drive their opponents.
the dough faces, the advocates OF Squat
ter Sovereignty, up Salt River so far that
they could new get back, for lear they
might come to Kansas, knowing, if they
did, that every soul Of them would enlist
Atchison, Douglas IL Co.'S army of sla-
very pl~opagandists. Did We think the
Buckeyes would submit to The exercise
Of squatier sovereignty upon them, we
would be almost willing to go, armed
and equipped as sovereignty directs, and
assist in the coming struggle.
