Undsrsround Post Rnnia.

A friend writes US from Westport, Mo-,
that in cleaning out well in that place a
few days ago, they found several mail
bags, containing large number of letters
directed to Lawrence, Z. T. The letters
were principally dated in June and Au-
gust of 1856. In one letter was found a
S 100 draft, which was SO defaced that
the names upon it could not be decipher-
ed The well was in the occupancy of
King, the editor of the Border R,6ian at
the time of the occurrence. 1t will be
remembered that Col. II. G. Boon was
postmaster at Westport at that time. The
parties concerned are laboring to suppress
the facts which were developed in con-
nection with it, but we have the whole in
our possession, which we shall not hest
tate to make public in due time. We
are accumulating mass of facts in regard
to the former management of the West
port postoffice which will make the friends
of even the late ruf1an postmaster there,
"tremble in their boots"

rh.- mar. fem, Missouri.

The people of Kansas did not partlcl-
pate in the election on the 21st ult. They
could see nothing to gain by voting on
the Constitution either for or against Sla-
very, as there was but little difference IN
the instrument whether one feature or the
other should. carry; for it is Pro-slaVery
instrument either way. At Oxford, Shaw
nee, Kickapoo, and probably Lightning
Creek, in MCGEE county, the vote was
large for the Constitution with Slavery,
but at Lawrence, Topeka, Tecumseh,
Burlingame, Emporia. Ossawotomie, Cen
tropolis, and other real towns south OF
the river as well as at Leavenworth,
Delaware, Wyandott &c, on the north
side of the river there was no vote for it,
and only very small one againstit. Most
of the real votes cast on the 21st ult.,
were cast by invaders from Missouri. Let
that fact be born in mind, and Members
of Congress may rely upon it, and on this
may base any remarks they are
to make, with certainty that an
investigation will sustain this assertion.

Cheering News.

We have reliable intelligence from all
parts of the Territory, and it gives us
pleasure to announce that the Anti Usurp-
alton Ticket is elected for State officers,
by majority of several thousand. We
have also majority, in both branches of
the Legislature. Gross frauds were per-
petrated at Kickapoo, Shawnee and Ok
ford, but the civil authorities are in search
of the Judges and Clerks, and are deter
mined to bring them to justice.
Whatever action Congress may see fit
to take in regard to the admission of
Kansas under the Lecompton Swindle,
We are now prepared for it, and the free
dom of Kansas is firmly secured beyond
the possibility of doubt. Again we
say, friends rejoice with u.s. Kansas is
freei
The voting policy has prevailed, and
the glorious result before us is attributable
to the energetic action of the old standard
bearers of the party, who engaged in this
contest with heart and soul, against time,
and many disparaging circumstances.
We would rather that all our friends
had shared in the honor of gaining this
victory, but we have no censrres for those
who adopted another line of policy, only
we hope they will not claim, in few
weeks, that they were always in favor of
voting.

q. q. Williams a Senator.

We are happy to observe that our old
friend and fellow prisoner, H. 81. WILL
JAMS, Esq, is elected to the Senate under
the Lecompton swindle. Williams is a
first rate fellow, and just the right kind of
a person to be in the Senate to defeat the
Lecompton nsurpation. If our friends
had been active everywhere, and all had
voted, instead of but two or three MAORI
ty in each branch of the Legislature, we
should have been in the possession of
every officer under that instrument. In
that case Congress could take Just such
action as it pleased in regard to us. If
admitted into the Union under that Swim
die in sixty days we would have framed
a new Constitution which would have
reflected the popular feeling.
The Kansas herald of freedom. [volume] (Wakarusa, Kan. Territory) 1854-1860, 1858-01-09
A Strong Position.

If Kansas is not already admitted into
the Union under the Lecompton Consti-
tuition, what more powerful argument can
be urged against it than for Hon. MARCUS
j. PARRoTT, the Representative in Con-
gress, elected by the people under that
instrument, to stand up in his place, and
say that though he holds seat in Con-
gress by virtue of that instrument, yet ii
is gross fraud upon the people, usurp-
alton everywhere repudiated, and that his
instructions are to do all in his power to
defeat it from becoming the law of the
land.
By the way, Parrot is pretty well en-
dorsed. He was elected to Congress un-
der the Topeka Constitution in August
the Territorial Government in October
and the Lecompton Syindle on the 4th
inst Nobody viii think of questioning
his right to a seat in that body.

Give US the Evidence,

For the two last weeks our subscribers
at Lecompton have not received THEN
papers, though mailed regularly from
this Office. The fault is not with the
Lawrence Postmaster, nor with the Post
master at Kanwaca. The United States
Statutes make it penalty of $500, to
withhold any mail matter sent to any
post Office in the United States. If any
of our subscribers at Lecompton will be
to the trouble of furnishing evidence that
the Herald Of Freedom, sent to that Office,
is not promptly delivered to subscribers,
we will commence criminal inyestiga-
ton of the matter, and will labor to put
Mr.. Roderique right before the Country
as well as before Grand aud Petit jury.
The time has been when Postmasters in
Kansas, like all other federal officers
could disregard the law with IMMUNITY,
but the order of things has changed
Though "new rulers" may not "make new
laws" yet they will enforce some old
ones to good purpose.

News of the Week,

We have no news of importance from
Washington since our last Congress had
adjourned over for the holidays, and it
will be several days before We get any
further intelligence from that quarter.
The troubles at Fort Scott are fully at
an end, save the legal trials which will
grow out of it. A letter from Mr.. CRAw-
FORD probably tells the facts in regard G
their origin.
The Territorial and Topeka Leg sla-
lures are both in session in Lawrens e.
The latter viii not attempt to comp icate
matters, and the former is dispos ed to
adopt moderate judicious policy which
will commend itself very generally to the
people, and be consistent with the past
action of the Free State party.
Acting Gov. DENVER has taken up his
temporary residence in Lawrence, and will
remain here until the adjournme Mt of the
Legislature.
By reference to other articles it will he
seen that the people have again triumph
ed, and that the pro-slavery party, and
their abettors, are defeated.
The Herald Of Freedom establishment
is no longer for sale, but it has resolved to
go on and triumph to the end.

Subjects of syuuathy.

We pity those poor fellows who wasted
so many columns of choice space in their
respective journals in denouncing the
Brown Convention" as they term it,
sswherein from fifteen to twenty persons
participated in Browns Cellar Kitchen, -
and nominated State ticket. 1t was fit
they should write, talk and act as they
did but it must be extremely mortify-
ing to them to see the position they occu-
Ply before the people of Kansas. We
have nothing to say. Letter-writers and
journalists are each requested to keep as
quiet as they can, for the people have
passed judgment upon them.
