When / wrote you a few weeks ago, little did
dream that the Republicans Of the State would give
the Slave Democracy such drubbng at our August
election as has, indeed, transpired
Tie rout of the enemy is complete and overwhem-
inp in results We have carried our candidates for
Auditor Treasurer and Secretary of Stste by some SIX
or eight thousand majority as near as We can ascer-
tain before the vote is officially announced by the
State Canyassers. We have carried onr Legislature,
al tber. by ndosed the bold blows dealt by Senator
Harlan in tie Senate OF the Dited States IN behs OF
Free Kansas and the guarantees OF the Constitution
in bshsli of An ecsn edom 10 the Territories OF the
nation We have elected our candidate for Congress

the let District by majority OF about l,o0O over
Hall whose Slave Democratic proclyities and votes
in Congress have brougb. down on hlIn the general
Ioliiical Indignation Of the ree voters OF Iowa.
Len you are informed, Sir, that full one thir OF all
the voters in this lIGlsl district we're born in Ken
tucky, Tennessee, Virginia, Moth Cafolna, and othrr
sayei oloipg States, ard that IN TACT very large
sioy of this portion of our voters are the most ar
dent and oct We Republicans, and fought best
for the defeat of Hal, you will be enabled TO
properly appreciate how much the non-slavehod'
ing potion OF the Soutn nate tne tAeensiOh
Of Slavery, ard will speak out their sentiments
on he subj, ct where they do II with safety. Hav
iIg come 10 Iowa 10 erjoy the blessings of free labor
ar progressive industry and by experience learned
how iai superior ore Free Institutions TO those of
slavery We never can will consent but will oppose
the bitter end every effort of ths Save Ogarchy to
extend Slavery over our sster kanfas Tue ssoun

boil Iowa and Kansas and though the letter OF il has
been violated as TO Kansas you msy rest assured We

heated political excitement really believe the Union
is in danger they still The storm III days time,

tiOn, 10y the IetDactment OF the Missouri ComprO-
mife. What do these 81 600 slave-owners of the
Slave States want The whole white population of
the ave States s less than half great that
of the Free States, while tue Slave States have
200 coo square miles Of territory more than the Free
Saes. Surely this advantage Of territory for Slavery
over Freedom shoud induce the Shareholders to yield
Kansas to the white population of the United ates,
from the Slave as well as the Free States.
