| FROM KANSAS" A Republican sends
to the New Bedford Standard the following
extract from a letter to Gov Robinson, dated
Lawrence, Jan. a. The Governor is speak
ing of the friends of freedom in the States
The sympathy of such men has saved
Kanzas to Freedom, and you then have our
thanks for it. The unpopular Emigrant Aid
Society, so much hated by Mr.. Pierce and
the Border Rufians, can now rejoice over
the result Of its labors. Kanzas is free, thank
God, and there is no power on earth that can
enslave her. The State Govern ent under
the Lecompton Constitution Was the last for
tress of the slave power, and we have car
ried it by storm. The enemy are completely
routed, aud they will never make another
stand on KANSAS SOIL. The Territorial Leg
lslature are passing an act for another Consti-
tutlona Convention, and we think it will
make the last Constitution to be framed in
Kansas, till we get into the Union. If Con-
gress should not choose to admit us under it
we can remain out of the Union, till some
Congress favorable to popular sovereignty
shall be elected.
we are sorry to say that Gov. Robinson is
not confirmed as to the result of the State
election. The Kansas correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune, writing on the same day.
says:
"When the official report was published
by the presiding officers of the Legislative
Assembly, the vote was in favor of the Free
State men. For several days past it was cur
rently reported in Weston and Westport that
the Delaware Crossing returns were counted
by John Calhoun, and that all the Pro Sa-
very ticket with the exception OF Matthias and
Carr was elected. The rumor is now authen
ticated, and the publication in the Leaven-
worth Herald of Calhoun's proclamation de-
claTlng the result which gives about fifty
majority on the State ticket, with those two
exceptions. The Delaware Crossing returns
bring about this result and Henderson's es-
cape enables this to be done with impunity.
In the Legislature 1t stands as follows, by this
unexpected change of front House-a tie
between the two parties; Senate-a majority
Of one, pro slavery; thus enabling the Eel
ons to elect U. 5. Senators, and effeotualy
preventing any legislation.
The same correspondence also adds in re-
gard to the Indian Territory:
learned from a gentleman who lately
returned from tour through this country,
that large numbers of Missourians and Ar
kansans, with their slaves, are, with the con-
nlvance OF the Indian tribes, set lers in that
Territory. Among the Choctaws a strong de.
sire is expressed in favor of immediate admit
lance into the Union as a Slave State. The
Chetokees are not unanimous on this subject,
but as both nations are large Shareholders,
the propagandlsts have taken care to excite
their passions by playing OH their eupidity.
A great deal of feeling is manifested with
regard to the subject of Free or Slave States.
Considerable prejudice exists against Kansas
men. Slaves are numerous, most Of the
principal chiefs owning from fifty to one hun
dred. The Choctaws grow considerable
quantities of cotton and tobacco. NV in
formant states that it is no uncommon thing
for the slaves to run away to Mexico in par
ties OF twenty or thirty, and when pursued
they will fight desperately rather than go back
to bondage. large number of slaves thus
escape annually"
