Eceiived only 149 votes out Of 595 votes polle
ed. The Marysviile precinct had TO be set
aside to give Conway majority, and it
was accordingly done. The only excuse
for this is, that the voters name and for
whom he voted, was recorded. The. polls
were all returned in due form, the Govern

IS set aside and Conway declared elected :

Etice that a large and enthusiastic. meeting
of the citizens of Andrew county was held
In Savannah, Mo-, on the 2Sth .ultimo,
for the purpose Of passing resolutions, ex-
pressive of the sentiments of Andrew eouna
ty In relation to the means = and course
Missouri should devise and adopt to pro
Etect herself against the usurpation of her
rights by the encroachments and interfer.,
ance of. the North to exclude slavery, from
Kansas through the instrnmentalitys of the
E1higrant Aid Societies. s The resolutions
passed by the meeting, are not given, but
We hope they are characterized by stern
and infexible decision on the part the
people to overthrow and anpihilate the Aid
Societies which are .adenoralizing our sor
eiety, blighting our prosperity and dissem-
mating vagabondism, pauperism, and fa-
naticism throughout our fair and beautiful

We propose. and We hope, we will not
be deemed presunptuous for doing SO, that
an early day be designated by other towns
through Missouri tolimitate the example of
Savannah. We believe. that our PROPOSE
tion, which is made with all due Difference
will not meet with one dtsseateat voice from
the pro-slaEery party of Missouri, for such
a movement as we propose, becomes the
duty of all towns which feel an interest In
the destiny Of Kansas and We well know

T A BITTEa PILL FOR ABoLI-
r1oN1srs.-The abolitionists of Cincinnati
recently made an attempt to induce two
slaves to leave their master who was. pass
ing through that city from Virginia en- route
for Mississippi The following paragraph
will show the result of this mischierous at
tempt Of the abolitionists:
s.The two slaves arrested here onfSatur-
day, on a writ OF habeas corpus, were brought
into Court TO day, when Judge Story infor-
med them that they we're at liberty TO be
| free, but they preferred tofetnrn with their
master, and were at sonee conveyed across
the river without exeitement." 50
This preference for slavery, which was
unhesilatingly declared by the slaves when
Iinterrogated by Judge Story as to their pre-
ference for freedom OF slavery, is the more
astounding and ineouprehensible to the
abotitionistss since eyery inducement was
male f,r iEenegroes TO leave their master;
I a ptrsesof fifty dollars hay.f G been made
up and constant employment promisedthem
if they would remain. but the negroes in
spite of all these liberal promises preferred
serving their master. 0 & 7'i
