Pennsylvania Election i.

The State election in Pennsylvania
resulted in the triumph of the pro-
slavery party by two or three thousand
majority. This is no evidence its
electoral vote will be given for Buehan-
an. The same frauds which have char
acterized the elections in Kansas was
observed in Philadelphia, and $4,000
votes were said to be polled by persons
from adjoining States. The frauds
and outrages practiced in Kansas have
aroused the Quaker population and
though usually they take no part in
political contests, it is asserted they
win poll their entire strength this year
for Fremont, amounting in the aggre-
gate to about 10000. We do not
despond over Pennsylvania, but have
strong hopes that she will bring up
right on the Presidential question.

Important Decision.

The Supreme Court of Utah Terrific
~ has decided that the Organic Act ex-
tended the common law over Utah, and
the act being In the nature of consti-
tuition, the common law therefore over
rides all the statutes of the Mormon leg
islature. This renders illegal polygamy
and all the statutes made by order Of
Gov. Young.-Erc.
That decision, if correct, as we be-
liey it to be, would extend the common
lsss over Kansas, and abrogate the stat
the bogus Legislature protecting
'tls saasenofaer Ia his ps6perty In lnan.
Are We not justified, then, in saying
that Slavery does not rightfully exist in
Kansas, even though the Courts should
declair the bogus Legislature to be legally
constituted ? We think so, and so ex-
press ourself orally and through the
press. the penalty of the bogus laws to
the contrary, notwithstanding.

The Roads Safe.

We learn that many people in the
Territory are fearful that it is not yet
safe for traders to order goods from
this point. This is all mistake, and
such reports are only circulated by other
towns, to draw trade from this point.
The roads leading from Kansas City
are Just as secure as any other roads in
the Union.-Ramsas Gig Enterprise.
What if the roads are safe? Does
the Enterprise suppose that the people
Of Kansas Territory will again hazard
their property and lives by trading
with the business men of that city2 The
merchants of Kansas City have con-
tributed means to sustain the robbers
who have infested the highways lead
ing from thence to the Territory, and
those merchants shall suffer in conse-
quence. We will not charge them
with sharing in the plumber, but we do
believe some of the principal houses
there have induced those desperadoes
to perpetrate the outrages which have
been committed. We have some facts
and personal experience to narrate, if
called upon to do so.

It gives us pleasure to observe that the

ton was nearly 900. The usual Dem

two thousand for Fremont on Tuesday
last. The largest emigration from any
one locality to Kansas, came with us
two years ago. from Conneautville,

Emigrauts.

We would suggest to our Central
Committee the importance of opening
an office here, to give information con-
cerning claims, to emigrants on their
first arrival; and also of employing
an agent to go with them to select a
location. We must take more pains
to inform strangers, when they come.
and to keep them when they are here.
A few dollars spent in this direction
would save to us many valuable set

choice lot of horses. Let them keep
one pair of them, and wagon, for
this use. The money cannot be better

Disal,ion.


1t is believed by many that let the
issue be what it may in the Presidential
contest, civil war will follow the re-
turns from the several States. Ii Col.
Fremont is elected, the Southern ma
rauders will think their time for plum
der is during the remainder of President
Pierce's term; so they will "pitch in !"
generally, and attempt to carry out
their long delayed threat of expulsion
of all anti-slavery settlers. They think
such contest will involve the extremes
of the Union, and that an inter-necine
war, ending only in dissolution, will
follow. If Buchanan is elected they
understand it as license, by lnajori-
ty of the legally constituted voters OF
the country for the pro-slavery propa-
gandi to commit any outrage they
please in Kansas. No crime, no OUT
rage will be too great for them Muir
der and arson will be every day occur
ences. The expulsion OF the entire
population of Territory, the Saeking
of cities, and the indiscriminate slaugh-
ter of the inhabitants win lie but the
sport of rabble. Many. we say, en-
terrain these opinions in regard to the
contest which has been waging between
the parties in the States.
We have looked az this question dis
passionately; with an interest. too, prob
ably as great as any other resident OF
the Territory, or of the States. We
we're among the early pioneers We
brought our family with US, and came
here to erect a home for life. We
brought our all, and have it invested in
Lawrence. Our liberty and life are
perhaps dependent On the issue-as
much as is the liberty or life of any
man. Yet we firmly believe that this
Union is not dependent on the caprice
of a few disappointed Office seekers,
North or South; that civil diseord
viii not become general with the view
of erecting q monarchy over the tomb
of Washington; that the freedom of
Kansas is dependent on the actual resi-
dents of the Territory. not upon the
threats of bar-room politicians and fl
libusters from Missouri or the South.
We may be too hopeful. We are con-
scious that we have seen and experien-
ced much to discourage US, and yet
there has been no time when We have
despondsd.

No Account.

Exchanges are of no account during
these times. Our office is filed with
them, but they do not contain matter
which is of any interest to large ma
jority of our readers. We have tired
of opening them, and wish three -fourths
of our friends of the press would for
get to send us their sheets. for then we
could spend our time in collecting Kan
sas items. insteal Of looking over local
newspapers, not one in a hundred of

form the bright constellation which has
gone before US, and guided our steps

formation. The wisdom of sages and

to their attainment: they should be

safety"
Thomas jefferson would have been
branded as an abolitionist, in this fast
age, for advocating the Freedom of
the Press, and Freedom of Person"
and trial by juries impartially select
ed" Here in Kansas, the statutes,
which the President of the United
States is enforcing, instead of provid-
ing for an impartial trial, has taken
precautions against such, packing ju-
ries composed exclusively of the pro-
slavery party. The Grand Jury of
this county is now in session, and
their acts are looked upon with as
much horror as were those of the Span
ish Inquisition during its most bloody
period. The army of the nation staDds
ready to enforce their edicts. Under
their finding, hotels, and plining
offices, and individuals are indicted to-
gether, and each are summary dis
posed of. No trial is needed, as the
simple finding of property nuisance
is equal to an order for its abatement.
1t is well for Thomas jefferson that
he has been "gathered to his fathers, :"
for were he in Kansas, to-day, and
should he dare enunciate such princi-
pies as the foregoing, the hatchet,
scalping knife, bullet or hemp would
have a task to perform.

Avoid Westporr and Kansas City
Trade has entirely stopped between
Kansas City, Mo-, and the Free State
settlers Of Kansas Territory. Business
men ship their freight to Leavenworth
City, and traders pass On to that point,
and avoid Kansas and Westport as
though they were infected with the
plague And is there not plague-spot
on those places, and win it not remain
until by long years of contrition they
show they are not the infamous wretch
es the damning deeds committed in the
vicinity of those places would indicate?
Capt. Emory. who was at the head
of the party which drove the Free State
settlers of Leavenworth City from their
homes on the 31st of August is one of
the proprietor of the stage line between
this city and Westport. 1t is believed
by many that he committed the out
RACES he was guilty of sheres partly with
the view of cutting off travel between
that city and the interior, hoping there
by to divert it again to his line. He
should have known that the travel was
changed from Kansas City to Leaven-
worth for good cause, and that violence
at the latter place could not change it
to another point. He should have
known that the people who come to
Kansas were reading people, and that
they were aware of his completely with
the border troubles, and would be with
his connection with the affair at Leaven-
worth, and that they would avoid him
ON that account.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1856-11-08

Before we came to Kansas we pre-
dieted what has followed, We said in
the leading article of the first number
of the Herald of Freedom-published
in Pennsylvania two years ago last
September-that 1.-The struggle viii
be long and arduous We may be
stricken down at first, but NOT DEFEAT-
Ed" We are not stricken down now
we are not defeated; neither shall we
be with Buchanan in the Presidential
chair The labor and sacrifice viii be
greafer to ensure freedom 70 Rsnsass'
but the end will be the same. Even
were pro-slayery constitution saddled
upon US by fraud there would yet be
grounds for hope. With fve-sixths OF
the population of Kansas in favor of
freedom, it will aeyer do to think of
giuing 1t over to slavery.
Let no MAN leave Kansas who desires
to see her free; on the other hand lei
the thousands in the free North who
wish to build up homes OF comfort and
refinement for themselves and families,
seek on this beautiful prairie soil, in
this inviting climate, home which
will be the more endeared to them be-
cause of ths>struggies and the sacrifices
it has pe4uired, to clothe it with the
Institutions which were essential to its
permanent prosperity.
