and unnecessary turn Of the II prevents them
from afordrg the least relief to the extraordinary

THE GREAT FRAUD IN KANSAS.
csusspouaencs Of The q. Y Tribune.


PHILADELPHIA Oct. ~, 1851.
The telegraph has brought us at last what ii de-
slares to be the official returns from Kansas. All
tAe counties are not reported, and it may be that
those emitted from the list have been disranchised,
- II has been intimased such a proceeding was iu
soetemplation. 1t would that diflusive falsi-
fsation has not been resorted to, but that the
viIlAiny has been packed close. There is no a..
tempt at eoncealment of the fraud-it presents no
veneer Of plausibility, but is proclaimed 10 its
Wholesale proportions, with unexampled audacity
JoAnson County is double.bsrrtled, and charged to
he nuzyles
=. And IN this is betrayed the appreciation by the
South and its instruments Of the temper OF the
free States. 1t is thought no longer necessary to
icA out aggression with specious p.etenses and false
shows oil fairness. The forbearance of the North ia
Weauseabie; and that portion of the Coufederscy
BOW stands before the world with the gauntlet fuog
full intohs face. Perhaps it is well Where injury
has been tanely submitted to, insult may stir the
stsgnant blood and nerve the ayenpinp arm. Even
the 6anaiAe Of Paris have not been found nscnsble

And If the hope of apathy among the free masses
Of the North upon whicb the South relies should be
disappointed, ii has resources 10 reserve, which
Aere can be no doubt it has provided for the ocea.
