KANSAS TO be "a Free State.

Already the good effects of the late
election in Kansas are being manifested
TIE Chicago Times has the credit Of re-
fccting the sentiments Of Senator Doug
las, the most influential Of the Buchanan
supporters in the Free States. And thus
the Times speaks Of the late election and
the Constitutional Convention:
"What that convention will Go, or what
it will not do, we have not the means Of
knowing. But we know that any attempt
to force a pro-slayery constitution upon
the people without the opportunity ofYot-
ing it down at the polls, Will be regarded,
after the recent expression Of sentiment,
as SO decidedly unjust, oppressive and un-
worthy of a free people, that the people
Of the United States will not sanction it.
1t would add thousands to the vote of the
Republican party in every State Of the
Union, and give to that organization what
it has never had yct-a show OF justice
and truth. TO the democratic members
of that convention, the course is plain
The people have decided in favor Of a
Free State-though they have not r0,ca

"Siave State, they have voted practical
lY in favor Of Free State Two-tAirds
Of the democratic party in Kansas have
voted with the ''free-state" party At the
recent election, in order to make he pop
ular decision more emphatic. AS Kan
sas must be a free state, even those per-
sons in the territory who are known as
pro-slayery men must recognise in the
late election a decision which must not
be sighted nor put at defiance To that
expression Of the popular will there should
be d graceful, if not a cheerful submis-
sion. Kansas is TO be free state That
fact being ascertained, let the convention
frame con5titution to suit her best in
terests upon all other questions, and let
the prohlbiti4n Of slarery be pet into 1t,

The Republican Triumph I'm
5ss7Ee,

S,e reelection Of Governor Chase, Of
Ohio, we believe is no longer doubtful.
His majority IS likely to exceed a thou
sand. In Hamilton county his vote cx-
cecds that given for Fremont last year,
and doubles the vote he received there
two years ago. The result Is crafty
ing one in every poiat Of view. 1t is the
most complete political victory that the
Governor has achieved. His previous
successes, numerals as they have been,
were obtained partly through the diyis-
ion of his opponents. He was elected to
the Juited States Senate by minority f.;
and when lie first ran for Governor, had
the opposition been united, he would
have been defeated by about ten thou
sand votes. In the late election the op-
position were united; the vote Of the
Americans was-oo iacchsiderab!e to be
chronicled by the Qh:o ,9rsss, their mer-
ges in the administration party having
become absolute; so that the vote just
given was a fair test of the opposition
strength Of the state.
In the two years Of his gubenatorial
administration Mr.. Chase has built up
'he Republican party from a small plu-
rality to majority, and had placed the
future administration Of its affairs upon
a firm basis. lie has purified it Of its
secret foes as well as Of It's transient and
unreliable allies, and has consolidated all
the friends of freedom and economy into
a compact political organization. This
is the fruit of wise craftsmanship 1t IS
ripened confidence which his good sense,
probity and forecast have inspired. No
one who looks at his administration with
out prejudice, any longer doubts that,
like Saul in Israel, he is superior by a
head and shoulders to any Governor that
Ohio ever had before him. Governor
Chase is one of the few men now in pub
lie life, who has Away been faithful to
his convictions, and whom no immediate
or prospective political advantage has Sc
duced into improper dalliance.
The Cincinnati Gazette thinks that
the rest Of the Republican State ticket is
elected, with the exception Of Bhckens-
derfer, but for whose nomination the
triumph of the Republicans would have
been more unqualified, 1t attributes
the Governors large vote in Hamilton
county to the fact, that BFckensderfcr
was repudiated by the Republicans

We publish the above item Of news, as
evidence OF the consistency OF the dunk
or Democracy on the Banking question,
The leaders of that party are always
talking against the Banks, and yet they
are the most active in starting one whcn-
ever there is a dollar to be made by the
operation and more than that, they have
made the system Of Banking in this
state, the most favorable to Banks Of any
Of the surrounding statos, and therefore
the most unfavorahIe to the people.
The people u Jersey Shore are nearly
equally divided in Politics, and yet
when bank is to be startedsthree-fourths
of its managers are bunker democrats. We
presume the same rule will hold good
throughout the state. Hence the Bank:

MORMON 0UTRAGEs.-A letter has been received in
Washington from w. P. Landon, one of the clerks
whom the late SurveyorGeneral Burr left in charge
of the Office, when he for his own safety, left the
Territory of Utah. last spring. He was, on the 18th
Of September, at Pacerville Cal. In giving an ac-
count Of his escape from Salt Lake City, he says that
while engaged in conversation with party of emf
grants, he was assaulted by gang Of Mormons, led
on by fellow named Dick Petit, and rufIian asso-
ciate, who. without cause, severely beat him with
stones and clubs. He was scarcely able to reach
home in consequence of his wounds. The same after
noon they attacked the Deputy Surveyor, Mogo, by
stoning him.
Landon was driven from home at night, leaving
his wife and child at Salt Lake City. After adrotly
eluding his armed pursuers he reached Paceryille in
the most distressing condition. He says he met on
the road the Indian, Peter who used frequently to
visit the SurveyorGenerals Office. Peter informed
him that Brigham Young had sent him out to get
horses and carbnes. The Indian spared his life be-
cause he had ON several occasions given him red
paint. Landon had not long parted from him, before
the Indian shot man with four balls. The man es-
capped, though much injured.
| Another clerk, Mr.. Wilson, in the Suryeyor-Gene-
rails office, was also attacked by the Mormons they
roughly seized him, tearing him away from his fam
lily. They commanded him to "come along and make
no FUSS Or they would "d--n soon show him wha
they were going to do with him."
Mr. Landon concludes by saying, that all the Nor
mons have left Pacerville and Carson Valley for th
purpose of defending "Zion.''
