MISSOURI RIVER, Oct. 10, 1857.
When ! lef; WyAndot last Wednesday, l4sh
inst, the oficil returns had no. al been re-
ceiye1. But enough has already TRANSFERRED to
alarm even those who had been most sa1guine Of
good results from. tbs election. l think you may
safely copcude-fi5s: That, even with all the odds
against them and tied hsod sud foot as they were,
yet the Free State party base PEELED ten votes, at
least, n one of their opponents Second Inst the
frauds by which the pretended " Democritic' Leg
i,,ture has been secured were too bold and sIarlDs
and reckless u admit Of any other inference than
that the sole purpose OF them is 20 throw the matter
into Congress 70 benefit aspirant for the Pres
deDcy. Thiro: Tbat in this gam. Walker supposes
h. 10 working for Walker, but in fac: i, only work
ing for Douglas.
In my Judgment the grand "conp Gda' of the
nsurpers has at length been effected. But whether,
now that they have drawn the elephant in the rattle,
they will be able 10 feed hun, remains 70 De sean.
We are yet to see whether the Free State party
will igboby consent 70 90 IN o. d minority and 81
with the usIlrpers in council.
The calculation is, that while this point IS being
wraneed over Congress will cut the Gordlan kno.
and save the party thus relieving the consprators
here from al danger OF pressing their n'urpatlon to
its limit
Out of this imbroglio Stephen A. Douglas will
turn up at the close OF the game AN ADVOCATE FOR
THE ADMISSION OF KANSAS INTO THE UNION A.
A FREE STATE And the South will get what, and
now all that che expects-AN EQUIVALENT.
We begin 10 see through the dust of the battle.
II is not difficult to forecast the future. Two more
Presidential contests won by the Scuth-Cubi pIr
cbssed-Mexico and Central America absorbed
National grants for Southern Steamship lines-Na-
tlOnaI grants for Southern Pacific Roads, Nc; and
the end Southern Republic and the reopeuing Of
the execrabe African Slave Trade.
The North has fought this battle badly-tought
it like men Of uncertain purpose-ike men blind to
the character of their foe The South has fought it
with the smartness of a brgand. And yet 1 am
convinced that Southern pluck is seems. Should
the North ever manifest ths sort of talent, IL would
be real" But when that era of proves will
dawn, no prophet can tell-prcbaby not until after
all her " corner lots" and merchandise are sold.
But Kansas to- day-Kausas naked as she staDds-is
once more the victim of her Oppressors Into the trap
baited for her by her enemies, and set with deVlIsh
ingenuity, her feet are taken-not from any fault
blindness of her-she has no. fallen into it-shs has
been dTren-not by her enemies, bat dri06R By her
friends!

all right in sentiment, but right in nothing else-s
