Slavery party, as it was supposed 1T would
be, and by another invasion of Missourians,
such MS disgraced the former election of dele
gate to Congress. The latest accounts from

the temporary encampmcnts of hundreds OF
Missourians who had come over to vote. Tho
Geographic dispatches since the election, are
not very full, but 90 to show that the opera
tons Of the Shareholders have met with entire
success. They state that in eleven orthe cigh-
teen legislative districts, the slavery ticket pre-
vailed by majorities varying from 200 to 500,
and that probably no anti-Slavcry men are
elected. On the north side of Kanzas river the
slavery ticket had thousand majority " inch.
it is stated, is more than the whole number Of
legal Slavery votes in the entire territory.
The legal voters in the territory numbered
203S, by the recent Census. We wait for
fuller information before commenting on the
affair
