KANSAS ELECTvON AGAIN

The worst suspicious which were entertained,
last week. in relation to the entire defeat of the
friends Of freedom, at the recent election in
Kansas, have been more than realized. It is
now ascertained that, instead of the scattered
irruption of the shareholders and their tools, at
The last falls election the aggressors, at the re-
cent election, absolutely became an army of in
vasion, organized into companies and regiments,
Differed and equipped with arms and ammuni-
ton as fully as troops going to battle, and in
numbers, too, which must have outnumbered
the actual settlers more than two to one. Our
account states that 5000 Of these political ma
rauders were encamped around Lawrence alone,
and enough of them voted to elect the pro-slav-
cry candidate by a an overwhelming majority.
This was repeated everywhere, and in many
places they drove the legal judges and keepers
of the poll book from the ground under threat
of instant death, and appointed judges from
their own number and we do not see that any,
thing. but resistance on the part of the legal
voters, was wanting, to produce state of open
war throughout the whole territory.
Atrocities 50 fragrant and daring are wholly
without parallel in our political history The
peaceful exercise of the right of suffrage with
out restraint or fear, has ever been our boast
and no one, four months ago, dreamed ia would.
or could be subverted by armed forces in any
part of the country short of civil war But it
has most clearly been done in the election in
question; and Heaven only knows what will be
the result. For ourself, we recoil from the at
tempt to predict the consequences of that days
work in Kansas But one thing may pretty
safely be said, that if those who administer the
Federal government give their sanction to this
outrage, so as to encourage its repetition they
will find it difficult task to keep this Union
together even for the short period for which they
will now be permitted to hold their places.

met by four strong squadrons of regular Rus
sian cavalry. Notwithstanding the dlsproporr-
ton of numbers an obstinate struggle ensued'
AT last hard pressed, SLENDER Bey was
compelled to retreat, retiring slowly, and hight
ing inch by inch of the ground. In the affair
the Russians lost about thirty men. The Tar
tars made five prisoners, but they afterwards
escaped. SLENDER Bey had eleven men killed
and two wounded, and he himself received
very severe wound.
The Notifications of Eupatoria are being
carried on with great activity, and will soon
be terminated.
We take the following from leader in the
London Times of the 9th: 1.-THE last ac-
counts from the Crmea allow US to entertain
belief that the condition of the troops is
materially improved"
The fire of the Russian Batteries on the
heights of Baaklava opened on the 18th, but
without effect for the enemy was routed by
the British troops assisted by French Divi-
sion; aud four days later when the Russians
attacked the whole line Of the Allies, they
were driven back with great loss, and victory
thus marks the opening Of the second cam
paign.
We accept for-al they arc worth these IN
dcations of an improvement in the aspect OF
our affairs, and we heartily wish that we could
extend these encouraging representations to
all the circumstances of our present military
position, but neither the last public dispatches
from the allied camp, nor the private commu-
nications we receive from the numerous au-
thentic sources. are of nature to heighten
our confidence, and we cannot but regard with
considerable anxiety the inert character of op'
srations at aSnoment which appears to us to
be'in the highest degree critical. The object
Of exposing the troops Of the allied armies tc
the hardships Of u winter passed among the
bleak hills and deep ravines before Sebastopol
was to enable them to take eAectual advan-
tage of the first return Of the dry season, anc
especially of that interval during which the
Russians must still be cut off from their rein
forcements. We are unwilling to PREJUDICE
the conduct of the allied generals.
We hope that the successful engagement o
the 18th or March may be speedily followed
by more decisive results, but it is impossible
not to remark that of late all the originate,
and enterprise shown in these operations ha
been on the side of the Russians, while tn
French and English armies seem condemne'
by their commanders to remain on the defcn
sive within their lines. Yet their number
are reported to be not far short of 100, 0O'
men, force amply sufficient to undcrtak
with success two or three distinct operation
of war upon scene of action so contracts
as the south of the Crimea, in the presence c
an enemy not now superior in numbers, Will
we ourselves have abundant means of trans
port to every part of the Coast.

taker bad as the thief-the Buffalo platform to
the contrary notwithstanding!
Time has been when Slavery could and should
have been confined to the original thirteen States
and ere long it would have been there aban-
doned. Jefferson procured an act combining it
to certain metes and bounds, which however are
overleaped by merceuary agents. And should
they have sought to terminate it by violence, I
know of no reader project; collision will be
the result, and it remains to be seen who are the
victors. Some of our States have resolved to
disregard the Fugitive Slave Act; and no seri-
Gus fighting is anticipated from the fact that
right and justice must prevail Should it be
enforced, the late scene at Boston would be re-
enacted.
Finally, let US, while we may, improve the
advantage put into our hands to remove an un-
scrupulous Administrations that has be-
come weak by its own folly. Let us struggle
on, bearing the indignation of our adversaries
with becoming fortitude. The day of universal
Freedom is dawning in the east The crowned
league, for the suppression of inalienable rights,
is tottering to its fall. The Kingdom is divided,
and must therefore fall Let US look forward to

SOUTHERN CANDIDATE FOR THE
PRESIDENCY.

The Charleston Mercury, Of the 18th inst.
in copying an article from Columbus paper,
advising joint convention of Wings and
Democrats, to select Southern candidate tor
the Presidency, thus speaks of Franklin Pierce:
eve cannot understand why the Southern
people should feel any necessity for hunting
up candidate for the Presidency. We have
"a President who has faithfully performed his
duties; who has in no instance failed 10 defend
the constitutional rights of the South and we
cannot, if we hunt the whole country over,
expect to find a truer man than President
Pierce. why need we trouble ourselves
about candidate; We have tried the Presi-
dent and know what he is.
What pledges could Mr.. Dickinson, or
any other candidate give, that would weigh
against the tried 6rmpess and worth of Gen.
Pierce! We have fallen upon bad times
full of confusion, and doubt, and distru st.
But it is hoped we are not so far gone that
we cannot trust those who have been weighed
in tho balance and not found wanting and it
is especially to be hoped that we have not ar
rived at that last and worst condition Of
doubt, when men believe there is no longer
any obligation torecognize good faith in Others
and to repay friendship with friendship"
This language must be gratifying to the
poor man in the White House. Whatever
bad times" the South may have fallen on
this Southern editor could not have selected
better time for the utterance of such sym.
patty and praise Of his president. When State
after State, of his own free North has sem
back his pet bill protested, and his own native
State, which, for nearly thirty years, has beer
the Thermopol@ of Democracy, has turned
against him, it must be consoling to know
that he has the approving voice of one South
ern editor. He has sold his birthright, ant
we wish him much joy over his mess of pot
tage. In 1857, when his political remains
shall be borne from the Capital to their last
quiet resting place, we hope this Charleston
editor will be there to pay his last honors tt
the great departed.-Fort Wayne STANDARD

The NORTHERN ALLIES OF SLAvERY.-We
have more than once expressed the opinion
that indignation against the SOuth, for the en-
croachments of slavery, is misspent. The
South pursues its aggressive policy no farther
than it is led by Northern venal doughfaces,
as is we'll expressed in the following SEN
tence from the Columbus, (Ga.) Sentinel:-
" The South must unite. But even then we
will be outaanked and overpowered. We
must haze Northern allies. IF they will en-
list under our banner, we will not stop to en-
quire into their antecedents, nor question their
motives. IF they desire spoiis, let them strip
the dead. They necessarily march in tie
uan, and this is guarantee enough of their f.
deity. But where are these allies? They
are the Democracy whe stood by the Ncbras-
ka BILL With their aid, the South is certain
of victory. "-Salem Register.

THE Boo oos. The New York Tribune has
invented new name for an old party The
party referred to embraces all those who are con-
stantly croaking over the imaginary danger of a
dissolution of the union. This numerous and
highly respectable party the Tribune christens
the " Boo-hoos " In recent elaborate article
it speaks of them as follows:
: This party is that of the lamentng, the
apprehensive, The depecatory, the terrified, the
fearful, the snivelling, the whimperng, the cry
ing outright over the dangers and disasters OF
the country, and the dissolution of the Union in
particular. Its members are weeping willows
every one. Shutting and maudlin, they go
about with Jeremaids for every actual and posi-
Bile emergency. They are self appointed profess
sors of the art of alarm and lamentation. They
start an imaginary peril, and groan over it, and
magnify its present and prospective woes, till
their hearts collapse, and their voices creak again
II is an extensive and an interesting subject Of
observation-this party-and its vote sometimes
tells powerfully at the elections. 1t lacks moth
ing but name. and with that we have resolved
after ample reAectlon-t to provide it. Let i,
be known, henceforth and forever, as the Boo.
hoo party"

The LIBERTY BILL, or, as the Hunkers call it,
Bill to nullify the Fugitive Slave Law, has
been defeated in the New York Legislature by
vote of5s to 80, or 10 majority, against the pas
sage. The bill was copy Of the one passed by
our Legislature, last fall at least, we conclude
so, from the fact, that the drafting eommitte
were furnished, at their request, with copy Of
our bill, for the purpose, as they wrote, of
adopting it. New York is doing we'll, but is
not yet quite up to the mark. to which every
free State will yet attain. Let our opponents
call it notification, if they will for it is just
what we Abolitionists Intend to do, SO far as
respects this thrice accursed Fugitive Slave Act

ANOTHER PUSH FOR CUBA PoRTENDED.

ANOTHER PUSH FOR CUBA PORTENDED.
The attention of the public has been a good
deal attracted, the past week, to the fact of the
Steamer San Jacinto, the Susquehanna and one
or tw, other War Ships sailing, or being put
under orders for Cuba, under pretext of protec-
ting our commercial vessels from molestation by
the Spanish Ships, now lowering round that
Island on the lookout, as they have good reason
to do, for the Fillibustering expedition, so no.
torioasly in preparation in the Southern cities.
A formidable conspiracy, having for its object
the assassination of the Governor of Cuba, and
the overthrow of the Spanish rule in Cuba, has
recently been discovered and repressed and its
connection with the Ellibusters of the United
States, has been clearly established In view
of these facts, the Spanish Authorities have
placed their Island in partial etate Of block
ade, and assumed the right, as own nation
would have doubtless done in like circumstan-
ces, of hailing, and bringing to, our ships APP
preaching their shore, for the purpose of ascer.
tanning if they had any connection with the
expected expedition of the Fillibusteru. To
effect this object, they have, in one or two in
stances. fred cannon shot before and behind our
vessels, which gave evidence of eluding the sum-
mons This seems to have been eagerly seized
on as pretext by our Cabinet, always wonder
sully patriotic where the interests, desires and
prospects of the Slave Power are involved, to
despatch these war vessels, to pick quarrel, if
it is among the possibles, with the Government
of Cuba And who does not soc, that, in the
excited and alarmed state of feeling there, such
quarrel between our armed ships and theirs,
is not only among the possibles but the proba-
bles. Marcy, and Gushing even, it is said were
opposed to sending out this armament; but the
President, backed by Jefferson Davis, determn-
ed on the move, calculating, prabably, that
there was two chances out of three, that it
would lead to something which would serve for
decent excuse for making war with Spain, for
the long desired seizure of Cuba.
All this, to be sure, may amount to nothing,
but it is very evident that President Pierce is
getting fairly desperate to do something to di-
rect the public attention from the odium that
he sees settling on his administration. Even
his war against the Know Nothings,h he probably
thinks may be worth something, but nothing to
war for Cuba for then he could raise the
cry to his opposers, ooh, you are fighting
against your country" and in the present de-
moralized state of public opioon, we fear, with
too much effect.
But however this and the Kansas affair may
terminate, one thing is deducible from them,
and that is that such bold and desperate move
ments as the Slave Power has made, and is still
making, most clearly show that the crisis in the
great struggle between Freedom and Slavery is
rapidly approaching-i not even now at tho
door,

The REMOVAL OF JUDGE LoRINe.-The final
question of the removal of Judge Loring came
up in the House, in the Massachusetts, Leeisla-
ture last Saturday, and was carried in the af
frmative by a vote of 207 to l1l-96 majority.
The Boston Telegraph says if the House had
been full it would have been over hundred -
The question remains to be acted on by the SEN
ate, who will hardly dare to go counter to such
a majority in the House. So we trust to be able
next week to announce the final passage of this
most important measure.

Z" have no doubt that Kansas Territory will
be a free State sometime, but whether its first
Legislature will make it a free territory or not
is very doubtful. I believe that, could fair
vote of the actual settlers in that territory be
taken, it would be free now, but citizens of Mis-
souri, will, by thousands, vote at the election for
mem bcrs of the Legislature, which will take
place day after tomorrow and while am now
writing they are crossing by hundreds into the
territory, for the purpose of elecing pro-slavery
men to the Legislature. Secret soci ties have
been formed all along the frontier of this State
tor this purpose, and the members are bound to
secrecy. Not a word or hint could be obtained
by which their object or their name could be
known but as it is now manifcsting itself, we
have guessed it out from the persons who are
engaged in it. None but decided pro-slavery
men, or those that they have perfect control of,
were in the secret. Those persons are now
swarming across the line, leaving their families
and all their possessions, except so much as
would be absolutely necessary for their comfort
for the few days they must camp out in The ter
ritory, at their old homes which homes the
most of them could not be induced to leave for
any location they could obtain in the new terri
