The Election held on Monday week,
though not so fully amended as we would
wish. shows a decided majority of the
Squa,ters of Kansas to have been in favor
of GEN. WHITFIELD and Pro-Slafery.
There was a misunderstanding Of the
Eection Law, which kept thousands of
Pro-Slavery votes from the Polls. The
day of the election, by many. not being
known, also lessened our, vote. Notwith-
standing all this, the Pro-Slavery party
have achieved victory that viii be hailed

country. The South viii have more con-
fidence in her Kansas friends, and the
North will better understand our wishes

tide of emigrants daily arriving with slave

Notwithstanding the danger to which the
question has been exposed by the malign
and despotic action Of President Pierce, a
happy solution might yet be obtained if at
this moment we had man at the head of
our government, and another TO represent
us at Madrid, Of the praeticability and
ease with which grand results could be ac-
complished, with the right sort of men at
the head of our affairs, I have not the
slightest doubt.
Spain would hare declared republic.
if our minister could have assured the re-
publicans Of the active sympathy and sup
port OF the government at Washington.
By bold democratic action We would ac-
quire Cuba, without in the least disturbing
otr relations, commercial or political. with
any country ;, without blood-shed and with
out price; and thus the Queen of the An
TILES would become one of our sovereign

The Speaking at Deason's BOx.
Ed. BANNER:
Having been present at a numerous assem-
blage, at Deasons Store. on Saturday the 7th
inst, to hear the political questions OF the day
discoursed upon, have thought it sufficiently in
teresting to allude to the subject, and those who
participated in the debate. DR.. Holmes ard E.
M. Yerger, ESQ.,, were the champions of the Ma
tive American party; Hon. H. Barksdale aud
Col. Battaile, on behalf of the Foreign isms Of
the Anti-American party. In conformity with
previous arrangement, Messrs. Holmes and Barks-
dale opened under limitation of one hour each:
Yerger and Battaile being unlimited as to time.
DR.. Holmes, in the Introductory part of his
remarks, alluded to the fact that he appeared be-
fore the audience as thoroughbred Democrat In
its broadest and most enlarged sense; yet he
hoped, freed and discharged from the pandering
influence Of principle derogatory, as he con.
ceived, to the native character and patriotism Of
truly independent member of the Democratic
Iparty.-He had cast off his allegiance to q pfin
lcpe inimical TO free institutions, and the perpe
tnity of free and enlightened government, nov
in issue between Native Americans as party
and those who espoused the other side of the cues
ton. Thus, it was he felt pride and an honor t,
make known to his -citizens thai, as Dem
ocrat, he proclaimed his cordial support of prin
lciple, now advocated by Freemen. He mos
lably defended the patriotic sentiment, that
, laAMERICANS SHOULD RULE AMERI
CAP and that the perty, as such, had likewis
assumed higher ground, and more lofty posi
: ton upon the question Of Slavery than either Q
the old parties Of the past. In reference to th
oft-repeated charge of prescription, so frequentl
E lharped upon by the s'unterri6ed," he most tr
5 umphantly responded to the baseles imputatior
, / In short, the Dr.s speech was elevated In ton
and spirit.
q Mr.. Barksdale then mounted the stump. "a
+ generally makes sensible talk, as "he unde
