Tas ELEcFioE.-Ths election in this
Township, on Monday. passed of quietly.
with not very full vots. The people OF
dis Township deserve praise for the
psaeeabls manner in which they always
hold their elections. even in the most sx.
citing times. We have not received q
word from any other portion Of the Coun-
". /, This Township. we learn. has given
the mougrel Democratic ticket from to
IL majority. We believe the friends Of
that ticket expected more, but it is too
bad as it is. There is clear Free State
majority in the Township, Of from IS to
I00ll While some remained at home. it
appears that there are about so men in
the Township, calling themselves Free
State, who viii permit themselves to be
gplled by the Pro-Slaveyites. After
vsting rspeatedly for Free State, and at
length obtaining the ascendancy in the
Township. they have permitted themselves
TO be hoodwinked, and led off by their
old enemies, after q mongrel concern with
asnaDy names as the ingredients Of which
il was com posed. But we are glad to
know that White Clond did her duty.
She gave the mongrel ticket no more than
fEe votes at the highest. perhaps not
more than four. g.,
Extraordinary efforts were made to Sc
cure votes for the mongrels, and some Of
thrm showed the party to be pretty " hard
up." Emissarics visited the Free State
farmers in the vicinity Of Iowa Point,
and told them that politics had nothing
at all, to do with the election-that it was
entirely local issue between Iowa Point
and White Cloud-thst the Democratic
ticket was pledged in favor Of Iowa Point.
and against White Cloud, and therefore
every friend OF Iowa Point should vote it.
Ry this means they secured the votes of a
number of soft shells. But they dam
aged their cause in this quarter. A num-
Der Of persons who had intended to vote
their ticket, hearing of the game that was
being played, voted the entire Free State
ticket. and cut down the number Of mon
grel votes here to the meagre number Of
four or fve--and but one Of them went
the entire ticket. So much for that.
We are unable to give an opinion as
70 the probable result in the County. We
think the probabilities are in favor of the
success Of the Free State ticket; but the
result viii depend upon the success the
mongrels met with in quilting Free State
men in other parts Of the County. Next
week we shall give the result, and prOba-
bly, may be able to give the news from q
greater portion Of the Territory.

DEMOCRATIC VIcToRIEs.-ltis amusing
to hear the Democracy counting up their
victories. According to themselves, eve
nv election results in a Democratic tri-
unph. If Republican is elected, it is
discovered that some Democrat voted for
him /; therefore it is Democratic success.
Ifsn old line Wing is the fortunate man, it
is claimed that since the disruption of that
gallant old party" said old line Wing
has acted with the Democratic party ;
consequently, the Democracy have sue
ceeded. Tom Corwin has been nomins-
ted for Congress. in Ohio. He has ex-
pressed. himself in favor of the Union.
The Democracy claim that as their
particular hobby. and therefore pronounce
Corwin a good Democrat. Corwin viii

Democrats. have nominated man in OPP
position to him, we may expect to hear

Kansas has now the go, 900 inhabitants
required, and can come into the Union
the LIST day Of next December, If she de-
sires, under the English Bill.-Enq.
Our opponents try very hard to adapt
their "facis" to their circumstances. No
reasonable man. in or out of Kansas-not
even the editor of the Enquirer--really
believes any such estimate as the above to
be correct. Surprising it accurate, the
Enquirer knows that the fact has first to
be proved by census, taken under the
authority of Congress, to entitle Kansas
to admission under the En- -lish Bill No
body believes such census will be au-
thorized previous to the vulgar National
one Of 1860. Does the Enquirer want
any previous census d? VIII the Demo
cratic members from this State vote for
such measure next winter But If one
is ordered, the work cannot be completed
in time for admission at the next session.
The Statement that Kansas can come in
on the "1st day of next December, if she
desires, under the ENGLISH BILL," is an
egregious blunder, or something very
much worse-Cin. Gdz.

~ The Slavery discussion at Phila-
delphia, between Rev. Mr.. Pryne and
Parson Brownlow. has been brought to a
close. The notorious parson was badly
whipped at the business, and got sick up
on the strength of it. He had previously
bantered Pyne to discuss the question
throughout the entire North. Pryne pro
posed to accept, but the parson backed
down, and wanted Pryne to debate half
the time in the South. The latter, not
feeling himself able to combat Southern
mobs. declined. The parson has had his
feathers cut most wofully. He had for
months boosted how he was going to use
up his adversary, and how he was going
to do something that would be lasting
honor to the South; and then to be so com
pletely beaten. it is too bad. We think
he had better hereafter stay at home, and
bullyrag the Democrats and his enemies.
He is full hand at that sort Of work.

Cheering News from the Mines !!
KANSAS CITY IN A BLAZE OF
EXCITEMENT
MORE GOLD RICH DIGGINGs

Mr.. John Huston arrived in this city
Yesterday, having left Fort Laramie on
the Cd inst. He brings most important
and interesting news from the gold mines
of the Arkansas, Pixies Peak and Cherry
Greek.
All the Indian trailers about the fort
and in the vicinity of Deer Creek, were
removing their goods to the mines. He
saw at the Fort Mr.. Jackson, who had
several hundred dollars worth Of the Dust
The greatest excitement existed at Fort
Laramie.
The mines were poorly provided with

supplies on hand. They were also entire.
" destitats of mining tools. Picks and
shovels were worth their weight in gold
in fact, they could not be had at any

There was not q rocker in the mines,
and no sheet iron with which to make
riddles.
Mr.. Benjamin Clemmore is now CON-
ing in and viii be here in eight or ten
days, bringing some FIVE hundred dollars
of the gold which he obtained in about
two weeks without any tools.
There are now sbout go men in the
mines, most Of whom are now engaged
in prospecting Cherry Greek and in the
vicinity of the Medicine Bow. Seven
men worked two weeks and made $500,
with nothing but pans. These are in
short the particulars furnished us by Mr..
Huston, who is a man well known to ev-
ery business man in this city. This is
certainly the most gratifying intelligence
that we have published for several weeks,
and it is the more cheering inasmuch as
it comes from a man we all know and
upon whose word we can rely.-EGnsdS

paragraph from letter in the New York

Mr.. Soule expresses the confident opin-

in 1860, with Senator Douglas as their
nominee for the Presidency, and that there
is but one opinion in his State as to the
course of the Washington Union. He
says while the Democracy Of Louisiana
condemn the unnatural war upon Judge
Douglas, they regard the editorials of the
Union as tending to secure his election in
Illinois and his nomination at Charleston.
