Elections In Kansas.

In January and February, 1855, the Gov
ernor of the Territory of Kansas caused q
census Of the inhabitants and legal voters
to be taken. This census showed that The
number of inhabitants was eight thousand
six hundred and one, of whom one hundred
and Pinety-two were slaves. The number
of legsl voters was two thousand nine huR-
dred and Eve.
The election for Territorial Legisture
was held March 80, 1855. At that election
six thousand three hundred and seven votes
were polled, being more than double the
number of voters by the census taken lit
tie more than one month before.
Of the six thousand three hundred and
seven votes polled at this election only one
thousand four hundred and ten were given
by legal voters, and the remainder, more
than thrse-fourihs Of all by, illegal voters.
II is the barbarian laws of a Legislature
thus elected that the FaGersl Government
is required to enforce, while hundreds OF
Of robbers, house burners, and murderers are
at large, and many Of them actually en-
ployed and paid by the Government to ar
rest and guard those who do not bow sub
missively to those laws. These are stub
born, uncontroverted, and incontrover ible
facts. All thus ia done because, as was said
by STRIKGFELLow, "ths interests of Slavery
require it."

BULLY BRooKs.-This silly creature has
had his head turned by the oyations paid
him in South Carolina for his brutal as

speech at home. from which we take the
following extract:

Finally nv friends, believe there is no
vout ideas than that of the heavenly bodies;
no branch of natural science which bears
clearer testimony to the power and wisdom
of God, than that to which you this day
consecrate a temple.
There is much by day to engage the at
tentieR Of the Observatory; the sun, his ap-
parent motions, his dimensions, the spots on
his disc, Ito us the faint indications of move
ments of unimagined grandeur in his lumi-
nous atmosphere solar eclipse, transit
of the inferior planets, the mysteries of the
Spetrum;-all phenomena of vast impor-
tance and interest. But night is the as
tronomers accepted time; he goes to his
delightful labors when the busy world goes
to its rest. A dark pail spreads over the re-
sorts of active life; terrestrial objects, hill
and valley, and rock and stream, and the
abodes OF men disappear; but the curtain is
drawn up which concealed the heavenly
hosts. There they shine and there they
move, as they moved and shine to the eyes
of Newton and Galileo. of Kepler and Co
perncus, of Ptolemy and Hipparcus; yes,
as they moved and shone when the morning
stars sang together and all the sons Of God
shouted for joy. All has changed on earth:
but the glorious heavens remain un-
changed. The plough passes over the size
of mighty cities; tine homes of pow erful na-
tions are desolate; the languages they spoke
are forgotten; but the stars that shone for
them are shining for us; the same eclispses
run their cycle;--the same equinoxes call
out the flowers of spring and send the hus
bandman - the harvest:--the sun pauses at
either tropic as he did when his course be-
gan; and sun and moon, and planet and
satellite, and star and constellation and
galaxy, still bear witness to The power, the
wisdom and the love, which placed them in
the heavens, and upholds them there.
