Mr.. Ruff, from the same ward, said this was the

How the Voting was Done in Kansas

Every one has a general idea of the manner
in which the Missouri invaders took possession
Of the Kansas polls at the late election but
few, we presume, arc posted up as to the de-
tails of the operation We have heard from a
gentleman who took an active part in the cleo
ton at Lawrence an account of the matter in
teresting enough to be repeated.
The day before the election, some nine him.
drcd men came into town from Missouri, with
teams, wagons, tents, &C. and encamped The
polls were to be open in the morning, and three
judges were to preside and decide on the eligi-
bility of voters. One of these was Judge AB-
Borr, from Massachusetts another was HUGI
CAMERON, from Washington and the post of
the third was vacant.
The first thing to be done was to fill the va
cancy. Nobody could be found on whom the
two agreed but one CUMMINGS, recommended
by the Pro Slavery men, was finally accepted
CAMERON securing ABBorr's consent by the
most solemn assurances that he would stand by
him in refusing to allow the Missouri men to
vote.
When the polls were opened, the first man
who presented himself was MiSsourian Judge
Abbott asked him if he lived in the Territory
he said he did He asked him if he intended
70 make that his permanent residence he re
piled he didn't know whether he should OF
not
lie asked him if he was going back to Mis-
souri, he said he should-the next day.
Judge Abbott refused to allow him to vote
and Cameron said he thought he couldn't vote,
but he would like to ask him question. "Can
you swear" said he, that you are bona. fde
resident ~ :" Yes, sir" was the answer,
can" "Then," said Judge Cameron, 4" think
he must vote )" and Judge Cummings agreed
with him. So he voted.
The next man that came up was one Young,
who said he was the captain of the company,
and if he could vote, he guessed they all could
So he went through the same farce-declaring,
in reply to some of Judge Abbott's questions,
that if anybody doubted his word he would
kill him,-and swearing that he was a b0Ha
fdc resident of the Territory" Judges Came
ron and Cummings allowed him to vote Judge
Abbott resigned his seat !; u pro-slavcry man
was put in his placc-and then the whole Mis-
souri, regiment voted, one after the other
The next day they struck their tents, got
up their teams, and went back to Missouri The
same thing was done all along the border
And the men elected by that process are max
ing what are called lars for the government of
the people of the Territory " Y Daly

gSg" President Pierce is most unfortunate in
the prostitution of his high position to schemes
of sectional advantage and political corruption.
Those for whose benefit he degrades himself
the lowest, spurn him with the greatest con-
tempt. Who ought to be more grateful to him
than the pro-slavery men, yet they have not
the slightest regard for him, as was shown by
q scene in the Kansas Legislature on the 9th
instant.
The concurrent resolutions, dcnunciatory of
President Pierce for removing Judge Elmore
were debated Mr.. McMeeking thought that
the President should be taught to know his
place. Mr. Stringfellow did not object to the
vote of ccnsurc, but thought they were making
themselves ridiculous Mr. Blair said that
Rcedcr was removed only to prepare the way
for EImore's removal Mr. Whitlock thought
the President should have sent battalion of
soldiers to slaughter the whole crowd of Free
Solers Mr.. Wcddcl looked upon the Pre-
Sdcnt as IL mean Yankee and doubledycd
coward. An amendment was finally adopted,
leaving the resolution about the same as the
original.
