WASHINGTON, Oct 13 1857.
Althouph epioying and reporting the fright which
The Pre,ident and Cabinet received yesterday
morning from the dispatches announcing Free
State and Republican triumph in Kansas felt
mite assured that there was no great occasion for
Il. Although convinced that the Fre-State men
hsye in their ranks three fourths of the adult male
residents of Kansas, who are all anxious to 60 into
the political struggle for the recovery Of the po-
Itical rights Of which they have been robbed
kew that Walker had been sent there from Wash
il gton to defeat them, by cunning and fraud if he
could, and if not by the mercless use Of the army
of the United States. Twenty-Five hundred s,l'
diers had been sent him with whom to protect the
polls and there was no reason to doubt that if
neressary those men would be ordered to vote the
Missouri Prof. Slavery ticket. Twenty.f five thousand
Border RuiaDs stood the Missouri line, only wait
ing the production of the balOtboxes as signal to
rush over AID l them with spurious votes. Aud fby
apy chance these two trump cards should fail to win,
there was a crowd of light-fngered gentlemen ap-
pointed to count the game. The judges, inspectors
and all other managers of election were appointed
by the two bogus Legislatures, and had nothing to
do with Walker nor had he, necessarily, anything
to do with them. 1t was Walkers business
TO put on an honest face and speak in oily
tones. 1t was for him to protest against
taxation as condition of voting but 1t was for the
election officers 10 insist upon that qualification In
apparent defiance and contempt of the Governor.
In the face Of these thiogs, Of what use was
maortyY steel-clad knight might ride triumph
anty through battlefield, but could not swim the
sea- The idea of cODte0diDg with the Border Ruff
fans Of Missouri in the matter of voting, is as pre-
posterous as to teach swine the alphabet or to lee
Al A. .,.Il
National Democracy carried johnson County by
1000 majority, and if necessary wOul1 have had
10000 OF course, it has both houses in the Legs-
lature and if desirable, would have had every MEN,
Der. The atrocOus wickedness of the pretense that
there has been or to be any election n Kansas,
rivals in guilt the aboIhinable crimes by which the
successful party has previously effected its objects.
The swindle however, is just what the cause OF
"National Democracy" in the Free States de-
mauded and there cannot be question OF its per-
feet success
Two weeks ago, Mr.. Todd Chairman Of the Re.
publican Committee in Pennsylvania, wrote that if
the Democrats obtained no more than 10 600 ma
jority in Philadelphia, Judge Wilmot would be
elected Governor. This indicates that We have lost
the State by about 10000, for the Democrats have
shown their capacity to turn out in Philadelphia
just such msjorites as the txisences of the party
required.
it is not probable that Vanderbilt is the party
who triumpbs in the arrangement about to be made
for settling affairs in Nicaragua Here is the dis
tDetion between the interests represented by Van
derbilt, and that which has obtained the sanction
of this Government, as well as the favor of Mica
ragua: The Company which is restored to ts Origl-
nal status, and to which the inter-oceanic route is
given, is not the Transit Company of which Com
modore Vanderbilt is President, but the old Com
pany which first obtained any charter or
privileges from Nicaragua in connection with the
trapsit of the Isthmus 1t was called the Ameri-
can Canal Company, because it proposed to connect
the oceans by canal and by slackwater navigation
through or by the side of the San Juan River. But
the charter Of this Company was changed, because
a canal was found to be impracticable, and the
Company was succeeded by another under the name
of the Accessory Transit Company. This Com
paDy was destroyed by the bandit Walker, during
his temporary triumph. 1t is the Canal Company,
with its old privileges modified in many important
respects, which is restored and not the Accessory
Transit Vanderbilt Association. The arrangement
now about to be adopted by our own Government,
was negotiated in New-York with Senior Yrissarn
on the 18th of June, 1857, and was confirmed by
the Government OF Nicaragua on the 9th OF July,
1857. PEMAoUID.
