DEVELOPMENTS OF THE DA

In the late political contest, we had but one OBJ
iect, one desire-that New-Yorh should take such
position as would express most distinctly and
enphatically her determination that Kansas must
and shall be a Free State. Others may have wished
to keep in or turn out the Office holdersto elevate
this or defeat the other set of candidates-tO ad-
vance the fortunes of this or that aspirant for the
Presidency we had no such purpose. We are not
aware that it would have made any sensible differ
ence, pecuDiarily, with any friend of ours whether
the Republican ticket should succeed or be defeat
ed in that canvass. But we believed it ,oonld make
a serious difference with the gallant pioneers Of
Kansas who are striving and daring to make her
Free State and in their behalf we fought our
battle
The Buffalo Courier DEM truly says:
at is self-eyident that had the 'Fusonists been
able convince the people of the State that the issus
they presented true one, that the principle of
Freed at stake, and that they were the proper
champions of that principle, they would have succeed
ed in carrying majority OF the freemen With them"
But the people-that is, great many of them
did rot believe THE We were beaten, moreover,
because we had no organization whereby the voters
who went to the polls intending to vote the Repub-
lcan ticket could procure ballots when there. Hun
dreds went away from the polls Of our city with
out voting, OF voted some second choice, simply
because Republican ballots We're not to be had.
So it was in many counties beside. Let every
voter in our State be waited on to day with :" Re-
publican American" " Hard and "Soft "
ballots respectively, and asked to drop that which
he prefers into ballot box then presented, and
the aggregate would chow majority of at leas.
twenty thousand for the Republican ticket. But
we were unable to effect Republican organiza.
ton to bling our voters to the pOlls-we could not
even place ballots beside them, so that those
who actually went thither intending to vote our
ticket could do SO thousands who fully SYM
patbize with respe citing Kansas did not believe
the question OF Freedom or Slavery for that en-
bryo State was in issue; and so we are beaten.
Andlog, If we were indeed mistaken, and the re-
suit in New. York does not prove ga heavy blow
land great encouragement to the cause Of
Freedom for Kansas, we shall be most agreeably
disappointed Meantime, let us consider the
developments of the day:
