The recent election in Kansas proves that
Robert J.. Walker, with all his hypocritcal
professions Of fairness, has let himself down
lower than Shannon, and the mcancst tools
Of Pierce's administration. The following
summar, of the outrages committsl against
the free state men, and against tie purify d
the ballet. under the countenance Of Mr. Blu.
chanan and the Sepoy satrip, R. J. Walker. ia
enough to bring discredit upon oil republican
or representative governments. We copy from
the N. Y. Tribune.
J. That there was heavy fraudulent
vote polled along the Missouri border. all
on the side Of National Democracy"
and slavery.
ll.That many Of those who gave these
votes we're recognized. and designated on
the ground as now residents Of Missouri,
which they did not pretend to deny.
Ill. That the polls Of this election had
been located by the Democratic" au-
.horilies exactly where they would best
suit the convenience Of the expected in
vaders and suffers from Ni.souri--the
wild county OF johnson, covered by an
Indian reservation, in which white men
are forbidden to settle, and having but a
few score white inhabitants 10 all, having
seven polls. all ranged along the Miss
ouri line, and one OF them At Little San.
Ia Fe SO that man might stand in Mis-
souri, and vote in Kansas; while the I'M
por,ant and populous free State county OF
Douglas, having more than 2C0O legal
voters. has but four polls, obliging many
Of its citizens to travel fifteen or twenty
miles in or to vote.
Nv. That the pro, slavery or National
Democratic" party has carried a single
county bat those OF Leavenworth, Atch-
ison. johnson. and possibly one another,
all lying along the Missouri border. and
every one of these but johnson by the
most scandalous frauds--half their ag-
gregate "Democratic" vote being freshly
imported from Missouri.
V. That chief scene Of these villain.
les was kickapoo. border village Of
I4eavenworlh County. where but $50 vo.
sers were registered last May by the pro
slavery authorities, and but 5 votes poll
ed at the constitutional election, which !,
hey had all to themselves; but where
hey now pretend to have polled over TOO
'o.~s. thereby electing county officers and
. full Legislative ticket (nearly a quarter
II the entire Legislature) for Leaven-
worth county.
vi. That in addition to the hundred.
II Missourians openly voting at Kicka,
700, a company Of U. s: soldiers was
brought up here and voted the democrat
g or pro- slavery ticket. in express def
snce Of both the organic act oil Congress
md the election law Of the bogus Legis-
ature. 49,
VII. That RobertJ. Walker. federal
Governor Of Kansas, declared before e.
sc,ion to free State man. "We must
'eat you in Leaycnworlh county At zIl
'szards"- that he was personally pres
ut at Kickspoosn the second day, and
ave an opinionJh favor Of the soldiers
ight to vote. and that he personally urg.
d we'll known Missourian Mr.. Hsrn.
lon to vote. =.
VIII. That the preposterous pro,sls.
efy falsehood transmitted from The bor-
Ter BY telegraph that Republicans had
ONE in from Nebraska and voted the
rec state ticket, had not been even heard
{ By our correspondents in Kansas down
D the 10Th inst. and is simply q cry Of
raud raised By those who know that they
ave been SO openly swindiing that they
annot deny their guilt, and only hope to
onfuse the public mind by raising coun.
.r cry.
TX. That, in spite Of the enormous and
laring pro.slavsry frauds along the Dor.
"r, the free state settlement Of Kansas
so overwhelming that Marcus ]. Par
Ut is elected to Congress by thousands.
nd the new Legislature is nearly two
'irds free state.
x. That Knowing this. the federal and
rriiorial officers have already commenc.
the game Of throwing out returns as
rgal. on all manner Of frivious pre-.
KITS: and it now seems probable that they
tend TO force another "democratic" ma.
Rig BY cheating in the official canvass.
wing iaiIeG 70 do so by the most asgi-
ous cheating in the popular vote. |,
