He was only some eighty or ninety thousand

The New York News, Democratic paper,

KASsAs.-A correspondent Of tho New
York Times says the election in Kansas for
delegates to the constitutional convention
resulted in the election OF all the anti-slave.
ry candidates. The pro.slavery party, being
in minority in nearly every precinct in the
territory, thought it advisable not to attend
the polls. There are now six thousand vot.
ers in the territory, and the number is rap.
idly increasing. In regard 10 admission to
the Union the writer says -
"The South is not likely to gain by q
postponement of the time Of our admission.
A vast majority OF our people are determin-
ed 10 exclude slavery from the territory
Exclusion from the Union will not coerce
them into an abandonment Of this purpose,
Every effort to prevent an expression Of pub
lie opinion at the polls, or to thwart the
wishes of the settlers, has but added new
barriers to the introduction Of the darling
institution OF the South. The strongest
friends Of freedom among US are from the
South.
They have been won 10 the cause OF liberty
by the repeated outrages to which our citi
zens have been subjected. II the pro-s!ave

will render slave property in Missouri worth

the indisnities which have already beef
heaped upon u.s."

In this section Of the State, where the lar

Ill.,, has received official notice from Kelley
! tho postmaster Of Atchison, Kansas, that b
will not deliver copies Of that paper to sub
