Freedom, says that the entire cost OF a
journey from Boston 10 Kansas city, Nilsson.
ri including incidental expenses, cannot fall

Lawrence, distance fihy miles, is depend

KANzAs ELECTION. The returns indicate
that the pro-slavery party has swept the
Territory, carrying oil the members OF the
Legislature. This has unquesiionably been
accomplished by fraud. The telegraph an.
nounces one thousand pro-slavery majority
on the north side Of Kansas River, when
there are not so many pro-slavery voters in
the Territory. We anxiously wait for full
particulars.
Ixnr,rAr.cr Mo a,,;l, We have
returns from Kansas, showing the election
of the pro.slavery tickets at Bull Creek,
Lawrence, Douglas, Doniphan, Tecumseh,
Shawnee Mission, and Hockey Point, by
majorities OF from 200 to 500. The cleo
tons were conducted with iolerable quiz
eiude. The editor OF the Kansas Free
State was ducked in Kerr River by a mob,
on account ola speech delivered by him.
Probably no antislavery men are elected
10 the Legislature. A large procession
paraded here 10 celebrate the victory.
