THg Census or KANsAs.--rhs Leavenworth
Times publishes the list Of voters Of Laaven-
worth county, as furnished by the Sheriff, and
says:
Instead OF reporting TO the Probate Judge the
names of " all the legal voters OF the county,
lie has omitted by fraud, accident or mis- stake, at
least one hundred Frae State voters in this town
alone, many OF whom are among the first set
tiers of the Territory, and are now rmong the
most prominent men Of the country. G. F.
Currier, NJ ]. Patriot, II. J. Adams, H. Miles
Moore, f. Ross II. p Johnson, Jared Phillips
and many Others who might BE- named are men
well known to the officer who took the census.
and have a bona fdG residence in this town, and
have lived here longer than one-half Of the per-
sons whose names have been registered.
There would seem to BE-, from this list, about
LOO voters in this county,when the fact is that
there cannot be less than 5000 and close eX-
animation of the list will show that majority
of those registered are proSlayery men. Should
an attempt be made to correct the list before the
Probate Court, no man doubts but that the re-
latve number of pro-Savery and Free State
men would remain about the same, notwith-
standing the latter greatly outnumber the
former.

z1r~ The following paragraph, clipped from
Kansas letter, contains much food for re1ec.
ton.
The indignation against the Federal appoint
ments in Kansas grows darker and stronger every
day. The appointment Of Mr.. Emory of this
city is particularly obnoxious, as he is at pres
ent under indictment for murder highloay rob
berry, md horse stealing. And such is the char
acter Of other appointees, 50 that it has become
a common saying that man need only to 60 to
Washington with scalp and the necessary ev-
idence to prove that it was taken from a Free
State mans head, and he will at once secure
an appointment from the Federal Administra-
ton"

A Pro-slavery Methodist Church in washIng-


The Richmond, Va, Christiun Adpooaic con.
iains long appeal for the establishment. of a
Pro-Satery Methodist Church in Washington.
Il SAYS
It is a remarkable fact, worthy Of special note
TO Southern people, that in this city of Wash.
in9ton, there is strong fecliug of aboitionism
porvading most of the Protestant Churches. -
Men come here from all the Free States. and
readily connect themselves with the different
branches of the church, and, true TO their mis-
sion, commence TO abollionz3 the entire church
membership.
Already the good work Of rendering aid has
commenced, aud It is with pride and thankful
ness that VIC here record the fact that the follow
ing named gentlemen have, with noble hearts
and generous hands, contributed the sums set
against their names, respectively. viz:
Hon G. c. Clay, of Alabama, $40; Hon. Jas
T. Dowdcll, of Alabama, sS7O Hon. Benjamin
Fizputrick. of Alabama, $50; Hon, Robert
Toombs of Georgia $780, Hon. Alexander Ste
phens, Of Georgia. $50; Hon. Thomas Rivers, of
Tennessee $50; Hon. Stephen A, Douglas. of
Illinois, &l0O; Hon. William Aiken, Of South
Carolina, $50.
This noble example, we feel assured. will be
followed up By other friends Of the Church at
the South, until our Society shall be established
on firm and lasting foundation.
70 the above appeal, the True Union Of Tus-
kegre, Alabama, adds as follows:
The object Of this appeal must commend it
strongly to Southem sympathics. We take
pleasure in noticing that our S'nlt,rS and i'm
mediate Z representatives., Hon. James f. Dow
dell Hon Robert Toombs and Alexander II. Ste
phrns, and the Hon. Stephen \. Douglas, aud
other friends OF the South in Washington, have
not confined their zeal to the ddDOcacy of our
rights on the floor of Congress, but are pressing
into every door open to Southern influence, to
promote our cause.
hlr. Douglas friends claim that he was innu.
enced in his subscription Of 300 entirely by his
zeal for religion.
