Aietter is publishd in the Baltimore Sun.
dated Fort Leavenworth, Dec g, over the sigma
ture of NJ. F. c., who we believe to be NJ. F.
Conway, and who is well known as the person
who came here under the hypocriticd garb' Of
pro-sIavefy views, but who could not long de-
ceive any one, and now appears in his true col
ours, under the flag of abolitionism, in the ranks
of Fred Douglass & Co. ~ ga
Much is said by this correspondent Of the Sun,
about the Esinsolent invaders,,' as he terms the
- ILL of
Leavenworth, driving away voters who were not
for Whitfield and voting at the point of revoVers,
that he himself 'swas crowded out from voting
that the Judges were afraid of being murdered;
and finally winds up by saying, that two-thirds
of the settlers in the Territory free soiiers,
aud that Whitfield is not the Delegate of Kan
sas, but of Missouri, that Missourians elected
him.
Now we undertake to say, for We were pres
ent on the day of election, that the above ac-
count of the election, is base libel, gross
and wilful perversion of facts. The election
was conducted as elections in Missouri. There
was no fighting, no driving men away from the
polls, no revolvers that we seen or heard of, ex-
cept ole an abolitionist had out, who was too
cowardly to make any use of it; all voted who
had disposition to do SO; majority of the
judges were anti Whitfield men, and they deci-
ded who were and who were not legal voters.
and that too, we presume, without the fear of
being murdered!!
And yet this dwelling correspondent of an
Eastern paper, undertakes to perpetrate most
gross and Infamous fraud upon the public. by
making repres entations as to the election here,
that he must know to be false, and denounce
men ''drunken rabble, insoIent inveders,
&c, forsooth because they dared to exercise the
rights OF freemen. It is false that Gen. Whitfield
was not legally elected, if he had not been, Gov.
Reeder, who this correspondent says was oppos-
cd to Gen. Whitfield, and with the anti-slavery
party, would not have given him the certificate
of election. Gen W. was legally elected, for
the highest number of votes against him was on
ly 305. He is the true and legal representative
of the people of Kansas, and as such is now al
Washington, discharging his duty faithfully anc
