Kansas EfectIOn.

Tie Republican party have undoubtedly
carried the election in Kansas (Which took
place on the 9th and 9th inst by a large
majority Parrot. TIE republican candidate
for q, lccatc to Congress. j. elected by n.
least 5000. and notwithstanding the loud
coanpllints OF the unjust apporti"nmen'. the
Republicans appear to have elected u of
the So members Of the legislature.
All accounts agree in stating that the cleo
ton was very animated one, but without
any disturbance whatever. The only - out
rage" we have seen noted, was that pro-
slavery man was driven out of Lawrence for
attempting To challenge some voters in that
city. The republicans allege that Missouri
ans voted at some OF tine precincts, and even
thafU. s. troops had voted, but this, and
particularly the last part, is positively de-
MED.
This result has taken nobody by surprise
Ii has shown what We have always maintain
ed, that the free state party in Kansas was
so largely in the majority, that they could
ut anv time take the rcins of government in
their own hands. and no invasion Of border
ruffians, or fanced paitial;ty on the part Of
L. S officers for the opposite party, Gould
ever in the slightest degree endanger Kan
sas' becoming a free State. Hence the
Topeka movement. and the refusal of the
fee state men to participate i'll the elections,
e., was all useless. and worse than useless,
because to some extent reasonable, num-
m.rv Even Of those who voted for the
democratic candidates, third or more were
free stale men--Ransom, the candidate OPP
posing Parrot, being one himself, 30 tn the
pro-s'avery party in the territory must com
pose so small minority as to be little bet
ter than trfl ug.
We know Of no party in this region that
has deprecated this result ofthe Kansas cleo
ton mere than the abolition republicans
All hope o; making further political capital
by freedom sIriekirg about Kansas is now
blown TO the winds. The contest is over
the question is settled. The Nebraska act
gave the people the right TO settle the qucs-
ton fo- themselves, and Notwithstanding
every cifns, of the Greeley's Wilson's, c.,
to induce the people to abstain from exer-
cis'ns this right at the polls, they have done
il, and by the act have also done the bust
Bess for those who had hoped to carry more
elections ly keeping up disturbances and
excitcments in Kansas. We hcpr, in all
conscience, the people of Kansas will he al.
lowed To 20 on aud frame their constitution
and establish their free state ins,itu ions
without further interference from abroad
either from Massachusetts or Missouri.
