In answer to the constant question whether
Kansas is in any danger of becoming slave
state, we can only answer--ihat the election Of
Delegate to Congress showed that large ma
joriiy of those residing there wished it TO be
free state. Almost every voter Of those who
voted for General Whitfield, the pro-slavery
candidate, passed into the territory from Mis-
souri,, for the day, and returned after he had
voted. Those persons who saw the trains Of
wagons from Westport containing those illegal
voters, and tho boat loads who crossed the
Missouri with the same purpose, were surprised
that the vote they gave for their candate was
not even larger than it proved to be.

New England, New York, and the northwest

recorded of those who propose to 60, we are
certain, that with proper effort to keep the
subject before the people, and assist the emf
grants by the means proposed by the Emgrani
Aid Company, much larger number than this
will go forward.
