ossAs . sivs cor oace trial.
Kansas.
We will publish tomorrow an arti-
ole nom TIM Lawrence Herald Of Free
dom. It will be remembered tba, the
Hsaald Of Freedom 10 decided Black
Republican paper, and the organ Of the
better portion Of the Black Republican
party. The article we quote is an un-
willing tribute to Governor Walker,
vrung from from the Black Republi-
cans BY his impartial and high toned
course in administering the govern
usat Of Kansas. 1t put the seal of
hlsshood on all the ISLANDERS upon Gov
srnor Walker, which have been going
the rounds Of the Abolition Journals in
the kast and which have been echoed
By the small fry prints of the West.
S'ace the extract alluded to was pub
liahsd, No have received further adyi-
90 from kanaas which put us in pos
ssssson. Of every important fact which
bed tsansPired in that territory up to
the s0th inst. by far the most inter
ssting part Of the recent intelligence is
The course which Governor Walker and
Secretary Stanton pursued relative to
the election frauds in the Oxford pre-
c'nct in the county Of johnson. The
vote Tor members Of the Legislature in
other parts Of the territory was SO
close that the political complexion Of
both branches of the general assembly
depended on the result in johnson
county, although there arc not more
than one hundred votes in the Oxford
precinct the Judges of election in their
return declared that 1926 votes were
dast. Against the correctness of tina,
return, protest verified by the oaths
Of many estimable citizens was presen
ted to Governor Walker and Secretary
Stanton, who, at once set about inycs-
tigating facts. They travelled al
through the county Of johnson, inquir-
ed infinitely into all circumstances, and
fAen Mrew out tie rote Of tie OXFORD
precinct as fraudulent and inral,d.
This rejection of those returns will
place the Democratic party in minor
ity in the Legislature, but Governor
Walker declares that that considera-
ton docs not make his duty with
premises less solemn and imperative"
1t is not supposed that any Missouri
ana voted At Oxford, but 1888 fictiti-
Gus names were doubtless added to the
correct list OF voters by the corrupt
and unfaithfal Judges Of Election. Gov
ernor Walkers rejection of the illegal
returns produced an intense excite
ment among the pro-slavery men in
Kansas, who intend 10 combine with
the more Ultra Black Republicans to
procure his removal. Could there be
stronger proof Of the impartiality and
fairness Of his administration than the
fact that ultra pro-slavcryites and Ill
trs Black Republicans confederate to
oppose him, whilst the moderate, sen
sible men Of all parties unite in sup
porting him! In melancholy contrast
with the manly and conciliatory policy
Of Governor Walker is the conduct of
General Jim Lane, and other leading
Black Republicans. Lane recently is
sued orders to his "army" to assemble
1t Lecompton on the 18th inst, with
arms concealed in the bottoms of their
wagons and four days provisions. For
what purpose it may be asked. He
himself furnishes the answer ITO mipe
out Leeompton lie further gave in
structions to some desperate young
villains connected with the Black Re
publican party to post themselves in
the highways about Lecompton for the
purpose Of intercepting and hanging
tie members Of the Constitutional Con-
walton as they approached that city on
tAs discharge Of their official duties
Those murders would have been per-
petsated but for the protests and APP
peak Of Judge Smith, Geo. W. Brown
and other influential men. The fore
going facts arc attestcd by dozens Of
witnesses who we're prcsant at Law
renee, and heard Lane and his accom-
pliees urge the execution of their plans.
Ofsuch numbering scoundrels is Bleed
ing Kansas party composec! These
ere the men with whom the citizens
Of Iowa are called upon to sympathize.
II u easy to see the reason Of this new
scheme Of blood and villsiny; the
Black Republicans feel that their exis-
tsaes depend on the enkiudlins Of a
evil war in that territory. Under the
peaceful administration all is order and |
tranquility, aad that order, that tran
qaility i . death kncll to their hopes.
They must have blood or their power
i gone.
Minnesota.
Tho Republicans have made clean
sweep in Minnesota, elccting all their
State officers, three congressman, and
. majority of the Legislature, thus Sc
oureing the election Of two Rep. U. S.
SENATOR. Thus are the efforts of Me-
dasy, Douglas, Orr, and others, CON-
pastsly ffustrated.-Tpton advertiser,
