1t is thought the legitimate vote will be
very small, but there are many Missourians
going into the territory to vote, which
taken in connection wit Stantons re

Important from Kansas.

Passengers who came down ON the cars
from Jefferson City last night, bring some
what later advices from Kansas, though
their statements are rather vague and con
Trajectory. The most direct and specific,
SO far as we can gather, are from Lecomp-
ton, to "Wednesday, the 10th inst
The Legislature was still in session, and
actively making preparations in regard TO
the election to be held to-day. Gen. Don
yer had arrived at the territorial seat of
government, but had not, as yet. superse
dcd Stanton. The fraudulenty elected
slavery members from IIeavenworth
and Atkinson counties had been displaced.
and their Free State competitors admitted
On Tuesday the Legislature had passed a
bill calling out the militia to preserve peace
on the Dist, and had provided for major
general and nine brigadier- generals to com
mand the troops They were likewise re-
ported as having passed an act submitting
the whole constitution to vote of the peo-
pie on the DIST, and also the Topeka con-
stitution--thc one receiving majority of
all the votes cast to be sent to Congress-
They had also passed an election law ma
king it felony to return fraudulent votes,
punishable by fine and imprisonment,
and containing other guarantees to secure
full and free expression of the people. 1t
would be inferred from this that the Cal
houn Judges of election had not been super
celed, but we incline TO doubt it. These
laws were said to have been sent in to Sec
rotary Stanton for approval on Tuesday
evening; but our informant had it from sour
ces in which he placed confidence, that he
would veto them on Wednesday, The free
State men hal, however, full control over
both houses, and could pass them over his
head. 1t was thought that the Legislature
would adjourn the next day. unless diff
culties in regard to their action were inter
posed.
There was much excitement at Lecomp-
ton. Men had gathered there from all
parts of the territory. Lane was present
with volunteer force of five OF six hun
dred men. Denver, it was said would,
when he took Stanton's place, call out the
United States troops. We have given the
substance of the various reports above with
out attaching to them any explicit faith

W ASIIISGTON, Dec. ~
Southern gentlemen have an Important
movement on foot which promises an easy
settlement oh the Kansas question 1t is
intended when the l.ecompton Constitution
comes on to take it up BY the friends OF
the Administration as party measure and
as formal assertion of the Democratic
principle of popular sovereignty The
Constitution will be passed with proyiso
that it shall be presented to the people OF
Kansas for final acceptance and ratification
and an Enabling Act will be incorporated
in the New bill as an alternative in case the
Lccompton Constitution is rejected by the
people of Kansas.
Judge Hall. Of Iowa. who was in the
last Congress. had been appointed Chief
Justice ofthc Territory of Nebraska.
Jas. NJ Buchanan, of Baltimore, will be
appointed minister 10 st. Pctcrsburgh.
1t Is rumored that the Tennessee del
egation in Congress have unanimously re-
solved to reject the Lccompton Constitu-
ton.

r4y- Our new neighbor announced las

E1- Our new neighbor announced last
week the appointment of Gen. Denver, as
Secretary of Kansas, in place Of Stanton,
and also that Gov. Walker, should he at
tempt to return to Kansas, would be i'm
metliately removed, but made no note or
comment in relation to these strange acts
of the President. Wonder if he will tell
his readers what he thinks about them in
this days issue? Several Democrats have
within few days past expressed to us
their astonishment at Mr.. Buchanan
course, and intmated that they feared the
Democratic party would be thoroughly
pro-slavcryizc,l; that there seemed to be
no reason any longer to hope for anything
from Buchanan that did not favor the
South and Slavery. This is the man who
was said before the election to be in favor
Of free Kansas" How long will the
people suffer themselves to be deluded by
the cry of dishonest politicians? Parties,
like individuals, should be Judged by their
acts-not alone by professions; and that
person who votes with party right or
wrong, is composed of the stuff that am
bilious dennagogucS and tyrants WELD for
the overthrow Of Republics

The Eeputiicon has Kansas dates to the

towards carrying out the recommendations
of Stanton's Message.
