A gentleman from Chicago with whom we
are intimately acquainted, and in whom we
have the utmost confidence, informs us Of one
of the most bold, daring and INSCRIPTIONS
games of the Black Republican leaders Of
that city, that was ever attempted by any
political party, to operate upon the approach
ing elections in this State, in Ohio and Penn
sylvania-
In accordance with the Proclamation of
Governor GEARR, an election was held in
Kansas, on Monday, the 9th instant for
Delegate to Congress and members Of the
Territorial Legislature. For weeks past it
has been announced by Abolition letter
writers in that Territory, and by the Abolition
press throughout the country, that the
Free State men" would take no part
in the election. 1t has been agreed, be-
tween those men and their friends in the
States, that none of them should offer to vote,
but let the election go by default. This has
been done to give plausibility to the charge
that the Free State men had been driven
from the polls, and that the government of
the Territory was again thrown, by violence
and fraud, exclusively into the hands of the
"border rufians.7 They hoped that, by this
scheme, the state of the vote would enable
them to point to the result, brought about by
their own voluntary act, as proof that they
had been forcibly denied the right of suf-
frage.
Upon these circumstances it is, that the
Black Republican leaders of Chicago have
based the infamous scheme by which they
hope to make political capital in Indiana,
Ohio and Pennsylvania. After waiting
sufficient time to render it possible that their
manufactured falsehoods may have reached
them in the shape of ''news from Kansas
their design is to food the States, where elec-
tions are to be held on Tuesday next, with
lying hand bills and circulars filed with hor
rible details of violence and outrage upon
the "Free State men, of the Territory. All
the scenes of murder and bioodehed that
have been so graphically wrought out 10 ex-
cite the sympathy and shock the sensibilities
of the people, will be re-enacted, ON PAPER,
for the special benefit of these vile and mer-
cenary political demagogues.
When these infamous Rombdchs are thrust
before the public, let it be remembered that
thew were Matched out in that hot-bed of
Abolition Rufianism, Chicago, for the ex-
press purpose Of being used as an election
eering "stalking horse" Let no one be de-
ceiyed BY them. Whatever may transpire at
the election in Kansas, no authentic account
can reach us from that quarter FOR THE NEXT
TEN DAYS. Let this fact be borne in mind
No one apprehends any disturbance or vio-
lence at the polls in Kansas. The Free State
men have every guaranty from Gov. GEARY,
that they can exercise the right of suffrage,
free from threat or molestation, if they choose
to do so. Ifthey do not, the fault is their
own.
Again we say, pay no attention TO auy sto-
ries that may be put afioat, within the next
qseek, in reference to Kansas, from whatever
source it nay come, or whatever may be its
object. Rest ass ,red that they are and must
be tissue of falsehooai from beginning to end,
manufactured expressly for POLITICAL effect In
Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
