KANzAs ELECTION.

The recent election for delegate in Kan.
sas must have opened The eyes Of all per.
Sons who were unenlightened before, on the
true position Of the pro-siavery men Of the
Sou th in reference to our new territories -
Never has greater outrage been perpetra-
led in our country under the protection and
sanction of law. The right Of suffrage hor-
ribiy prostitutcd, ana the very ballot box ta-
ken possession of by set of lawless depre-
dators, imported from Missouri, who had no
more right to vote in Kansas than We have,
is certainly huge stride towards an anar-
chy. lh fair, open contest, on the subject
of slavery, VIC ermly believe that the anti
slavery men of Kansas would have com off
victorious. But when they are threatened
by set of hired bulies, who present load
instant death, to vote for freedom, how else
could an election result than it has. Free
men from The North went there in gool faith,
intending to make it their home, and with
this feeling they desired it to be free home
such os they had left. Met, not with the
accustomed open hand and warm heart of tho
squatter, they were &c. upon from the very
moment of their arrival by set OF rnffians
who make their living, and eat their bread in
the sweat, tears and blood Of others, and not
Of themselves. They were btowbeaten, and
insulted day after day, but being men of
peace, they forbore--but the last act of
| southern brutality is more than northern for
bearance should suffer, for it is no longer vir-
tuous to forbear.
Yet notwithstanding the barefaced fraud
in the election of Delegate, that delegate,
(hr. Whitfed) has taken his seat at WASH
ington, where he has no more right than has
Tom Benton in the British Parliament But
the contest is not yet ove--no it is not yet
begun. Future elections will tell different
tale. Rasculity may fl urish for a while, but
it cannot survive tho searching scrutiny of a
nation, which whatever else may be said of
her, 10 right at heart.

and the Queens speech delivered, which
was wholly occupied with the war, except
ing one sentence, where she says: I have
concluded treaty with the United States, by
which subjects of long and difficult discussion
have been equitably adjusted. The rest Of
the speech speaks OF the nrmyn the Crimea
with admiration and gratitude, and praises
the co cooperation ofthe French

Inducements to go TO Crimea.
