How THE DELEGATES TO THE CoNsTIr1J-
TIoNAL CONVENTION WERE ELECTED IN KAN.
sAs.-The Leavenworth Times of Satur-
day, June goth, says that on the previous
Monday the ''great day of election" fol
delegates to the Constitutional Convention
came round. The "National Democratic
party, after energetic exertions for weeks,
and preparing list of voters for Leaven-
worth county, containing 1897 names,
could only poll 600 votes. The Leaven-
worth Times says:
What spectacle for a great republican
nation to look upon! What ratification
of the policy Of Mr.. Gov. Walker! What
an enthusiastic response to Mr. Buchanan's s
inaugural! What an exemplilication of
squatter sovereignty What witherinp,
biting, blasting, killing rebuke to the Off
cials, in and out of the Territory, who
have favored this scheme. One more req
lstry, backed zap by another cargo of broken
down Eastern politicians, and there would
not be vote to sustain the President.
Gov. CHAsE.-There seems to be great
unanimity in the Republican party in this
State, in favor of the re nomination of S.
L. Chase for the reelection TO the Office of
Governor of this great Commonwealth.
This is all right. His integrity and abili-
ty to fill the station beyond question, and
there is but little doubt that he will be re-
nominated and reelected. STAN
dard.
