Buchanan snail live up TO it, well and good
we will be the first to throw the mantle Of
forgiveness over nj his past political ems of
omission or commission. Meantime. M we
heve often said before, though mot unexrcp-
tonable, he is our choice Tor President; but
In supporting him we have chosen To do 80
with our eyes open, and have desired that
the Southern people should have their eyes
open also. II they vote with them shut, il
will be no fault Of oufs if deceived in any
particular, they cannot shake their heads
and say We did it."
A distinguished Louisianian," writing
to the Delta from Washington, finishes his
letter as follows.
But The time is now past to discuss this
maiter ldisunion.) A truce Of four years 10

From Kansas.

following Information fron Kansas:
We saw On Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Har.
vey, for a long time connected with Che
Friends Mission ln Kansas, who leit I.e-
compton, *. T., only four days before. he
says THAI the Grand Jury bad found indici.
mems for murder 20 the fret degree"
against most of The hundred and nine Free
State prisoners, bu; three had been dscharg-
ed for want Of evidence II was reported
90 Lcrumptou tl,a, Caory oesJ DO .~s..ia ,--
don them Z convicted, but W oods0n and the
decided Buchanan men were insisting upon
the execution of ihe whole of them What
ihe result viii bc cannot easily be nucsscd;
but if Fremont is elected. The people feel
pretty confident that nothing will came oft.
The prisoners are confined n most foul
and nois0me hole, ns Mr. Harvey says.
"Worse than a hog wailow.n aud are guarded
By Titus band OF Mss0urans.
Mr.. Harvey reports that very large NUM-
beers of Free State rmgmu's were entering
the Territory. An the wagons. carts, hicks
and carriages procurable were in constant
use between Lcaycuwurth and Lawrence, by
cmgflnts passing up into the Territory
Very few settlers were coming away and
those few, chiefly Ike himself on business,
intending 20 return ns soon possible. a
number % Pro-SIavey men taken 10 the
Territory 10 fight aud vote. were going
home Some of them were returning al the
umo Mr.. Harvey come away
The bnrbarltes pmcuced by these men,
Mr. Harvey says. exceed ANYTHING that has
been said about them. He lived M this
STATE when % was a territory, and remembers
an The outrHgcs perpeiTated by Toe Indians
before and during he late war, bu, he says
be never heard OF halfso many atrocities by
the Indians an he knew were committed by
those Border Ruilians An old PolaNaiome
Indian named Burnett cuid to Mr.. Harvey,
" You need never talk OF the cruelty of lndl-
ans hereaner these men beat anything the
Indians ever did"
Whthelds election, Mr.. Harvey, says,
was mere farce. The tree State men did
not vote, and the pfo-slav ~ vote WIS almost
nothing. In one precinct, which gave
Winfield 7C0 Missouri votes at his first
election, there were bot fourteen votes cast,
and they were all prosayery. At another
there was similar falling OIL, md in four
precincts named by Mr. H., where Whit
fields former vote was over one thousand, he
got al the election bot about thirty ahogoth-
or. Secretary Woodson's statemen, that the
total vote for Whitfield 90 tie Terr.toy was
bYe thousand Mr.. H., says IS positive
wholesale he. Mr. II. is quaker, and well
known for his long connection with The In
dian missions, and hls word IL worth W ood-
sons oath, with the aihdovis OF all the
BUCCANEERS IN Kansas any day.

Indiana in Doubt.

NEw YoaK, Nov. 7lh, Evc.- Relnrn'
from Indiana are conflicting, aud much doubt
is felt here whether buchanan hus carried
the State.
The returns are getting to be interesting.
Giving Buchanan all the South except Ma
ryland, yet he must have either Indiana or
California or lose. But Louisiana. Florida.
Kentucky and Tennessee will probably DC
close on the official count We think it will
take some days to settle the question.
Boston, Saturday morn.

mlttee on Election, that Mr.. Whitfield wa
not entitled to a seat as delegate from Kan
sas, was adopted by yeas 10, nays go.
The seconed resolution-that Mr.. Reeder
be admitted to the scat-was rejected by yeas
IS, nays ll3.
NJ. WashJIrne OF Milne asked, but he
was denied, a unanimous consent to paw Mr..
Reeder mileage and Per diem to date.
On the I'd the House passed the Fortified
tion Appropriation Bill.
Mr.. Sherman of Ohio replied to Mr.. Oil.
ver's minority report of the Kansas Investi-
eating Committee, and maintained the truth
oil the statements set forth by the ,.ajorlty
concerning the invasion of Kansas by Mis-
sourans, and thoir violent control of elections,
by trampling on the rights of resident voters.
lie argued that the remedy for the Free State
men by judicial process was utterly futile.
lie would vote for unseating Mr.. Whitfield,
because the latter represents the forces who
invaded Kansas. The laws Of that Territory,
illegally passed, ought to be repeated, the
militia disarmel, AMI the whole federal
treasure, 1t necessary, expended TO keep the
peace.
Mr.. Oliver Of Missouri contended that
under the resolution providing for the Kan
sas Investigating Committee, they had no au.
thority to inquire into the validity of the
Legislative Assembly. 1t was violation of
every principe of law and degrading in his
colleagues on the Committee thus to tran
scend their power. He asked whether the
House was.wling to trampe on law by ad-
hitting Mr. Reeder! Were men so lost to
justice and decency as to be guilty Of such
a monstrosity? He should not believe it I'm.
til it was recorded and then he should see
it with shame and notification
