The election yesterday, at this place, and as far as
learn in the country, passed Of quietly Indeed
it was the mot quiet election ever saw. There was
company of United States troops n the vicinity Of
town. They did not make their appearance at or in
around the polls for the ostensbe purpose of preserv
ing ORDER but they aided in getting their Free
State" brethren to the polls than anything else. At
the door where the votes were reoesed oairesae
TO the door, the place OF voting. A long line was
formed. and each man advanced as the front meo
voted taking it by turns The Free State, or Repuo-
caD party got possession Of this line, and, conse
quenty, gave The largest number Of votes.
There are twenty.seyen candidates to be voted for,
from Delegate to Congress, to Legislature county aud
township officers The clerks were not very last,
ard consequently there was not large, vote given.
The polls however open here to-day, and also at
Kickapoo. The polls only be kept open two days.
We very much fear that halt our vote at this precinct
will not be given.
l think can safely say, having heard from three
precincts out Ct FIVE in the county that the entire
Democratic ticket is elected by $50 majority Rsn-
SONS majority for Congress will probably be over that
The majorities in the precincts heard from are as
follows:
Leavenwcth City, Free State maj tfrIt day).... 1873
Kickapoo, Democratic ms. first day.. ....... 10
Delaware, Democratic maj, polls closed. IS
Easip and WyaDdot not heard from.
Kickapoo will increase the Democratic majorities
today. Leavenworth will probably increase the
so-cailed Free-State majority q few votes to-day.
Eastin will give majority against, and Wyando; IN
favor Of the Democratic ticket.
vote was taken in this city to raise 5000 O0O, by

LAWRENCE, X T., Oct. 5, 1857.
The citizens Of johnson County applied TO Gov.
Walker for troops 10 protect the pols They had
most convincing proof that 1t was the intention to per-
petrate fraud at the election. An invasion expect
ed and troops wold be needed at all events in this
exposed quarter. The Governor refused. He said
that would not do to divide the forces under his COM
mand in this manner. 1t would cause the edumon OF
blood to comply with their request. He had stationed
troops at Lawrence, and would do so at Lecompton,
and other places where ne thought they would be
needed but he would send none to the Dor
der. He said that he had received rehaole
information, from most authentic sources OF in.
tell gence in Missouri, that there would be no in

cevng an application for aid in the moot exposed pat
Of the Territory. He has Stationed two companies,
one Of artillery and another Of light infantry, In
menacing attitude in West Lawrence. lie has die
posed his forces at other points where they cannot be
neeoed. and withheld them from the only places where
they cou be Of service. All this exhibits premedita-
tion land design. II shows studied intention on
his part TO countenance any violation OF the laws If
respts in the OF the interests of the Pro-
Slavery party. The Governor has become moan and
miserable tool in the hands Of the Pro Slavery De-
mocracy to whom the entire sway OF affairs given up
The Democracy in johnson County have made ar
raDgemepts admirably adapted to their purposes This
county has been divided into eight precincts For
county 30 thiny settled this is most unusual number.
The most populous county in the Territory has only
four. These eight precincts all lie within few miles
Of the Missouri border. Eacn preclnct mas three
Judges of Election. The Judges Of Election at one
precinct all reside in Missouri. One or two of the
Judges at several other precincts also Mssourans.
IL be supposed that these judges viii prevent
their BROTHER Missourisns from voting 1t is expected
that at least 900 votes will be poed in the township
of Little Santa Fe. This town lies just within the
Missouri border A few houses have, however, been
built ON tie Kansas side of the line and polls have
been opened. 1t is from places like this that the Ma
tonal Democrats will receive their large mejortes.
Who will wonder if they succeed

Yesterday was the first dey Of the election. Ac-

many localities. The polls are TO be opened again to-
day in Lawrence. When they were closed last even
