The whcle number Of votes in this county

from there, that there has been practically no
election there. When he left lie could only
hear Of about 80 votes that had been roIcd
in the whole county.

STRENGTH oT THE PRo-SLAvERY PARTY IN
kANsAs.-A comparison of the votes cast at
the recent election in Kansas, wherein only
the resident ProSlavery men took part, with
the votes at previous contests, when droyeS of
MiSSourans went over 10 help their nigger-
breeding brethren, shows not only what the
actual strength of the Niger party is, but the
extent also Of tie frauds that have been here
tofore pcrpctratcd. This time it was well un-
dcrStood that the Free State men would not
vote hence another invasion Of the Border
Rufians was unnecessary. They stayed at
home and now We know exactly w,,t the
resident Pro Slavery force is-not over 500
III the whole Territory OF course this figure
does not accord with the aggregate Of the
registry lists but as the MiSSourans on those
lists were busy at home and there was no
pressing occasion for them to cross the river,
We must excuse them for not coming up to the
expectations Of their friends
Let it now be remembered that. if Pro
Slavery Constitution is formed for Kansas, it
70 is the work Of this meagrc minority, backed
up by STEruGN A. DorGIAs and the National
Administcation.-Ch Chic4go TiJHne.
