LAWRENCE, X. T., Feb. Is, 1853.
Not the least valuable portion Of the labors Of the
late Territorial Legislature was the law authorizing
census OF certain districts in Kansas. DR.. Brown,
one of the Commissioners appointed to take the
census of Marshall County, has made his returns.
The census of the Msrysville Precinct, one Of the
strongholds Of bogus swinding, and the den Of
Frank Marshall the Calhounite Governor proves
the statements / have made in regard to it.
stated in THE TRIBI NE that at the October cleo
ton the legal vote did not exceed fifteen. The cen
sus shows that they had at that time just fourteen
legal votes. Some emigration having gone thither
in the late Summer and Fall there are now forty-One
voters there, majority of whom are Free-State:
The whole county has at present one hundred and
fifty voters. The heaviest settlement 10 the Ohio
COLONY on the Black Vermillion, which has been
there for nearly three years. They are all Free
State men. Yet this was the county which was
herslded as the banner Democratic county" all
over the country The returns in October shOwedthat
only one Free State vote was polled in the county.
This was done in regular Marysvillian way All
the votes thrown at Marysvie were recorded on the
Democratic side save one, which was lett for the
sake Of appearances. The county officers, who are
q segment of Buford's old banditti, went down to
the Black VermilfOn about noon on that election
day. and took away the pOl-books and closed the
election About rs votes had been pOlled at that
time, but these they suppressed. AT the old Terri
toriaf election, in March 1855, when Mlssourlans
controlled the elections in Kansas in every precinct
but one, there were only three legal voters here
bund of fifteen Missourans rode out thither and
polled go votes by marching round and round the
voting shanty all day, voting each time. At the two
recent elections on the LecOmptOn swlndle the vote
was not quite 80 large. For the December election
A. on for the Constitution The
greater part Of them the Democratic ticket OF
course For the election on Jan. the returns
we're adrOity held back, and have not yet been
counted in any Of the tables printed. The returns
LAS per cande.bOx) show nearly 400 votes. The
census just taken according to law is minute, and
clearly exhibits that the MarysyIlains are PRO
gressiye Democracy" Indeed, it ia more by this
species of swndling In returns than by actual
fraudulent votes that the Oligarchy have held their
power.
At the January election, Bourbon County re.
turned 7I2 votes-of these 523 for the Democratic
ticket Now, in that county the Pro-Slavery party
has not more than 100 votes. The census Of NICK
apoo lie not yet completed but l learn enough TO
state that the result Will show that the bona hde
voters of Oxford, Shawnee, Kickapoo, MaryNile
and Fort Scott in October, were altogether but
few over 800, and yet these have served as basis
for 5000 or 1900 votes. In tbese gigantic and
unblushing frauds lies the Border. Runian rod oil
empire.
The pulse Of the body polite beats very easily
now. The news OF the reference Of the Lecomptoh
Constitution to the Select Committee has been re-
gsrded az news of it's ultimate defeat. Inc lew
who were inclined to take stock in the Lecompton
swDdle keep very quiet about it. More attention
ia turned TO the election of Delegates to the Cons!-
tutiOnsl Convention. Primary meetings for noml-
nations are being had, and the public attention j.
turned more 10 business channels.
Gov. Denver still ignores the Constitutional Con-
vention Act. He is trying to get the tree-o'a'e
men convinced Of the propnety Of remaining a. d
Territory for year or two longer, and untu INC
memory of Border.Rufdan Democracy" is ior-
gotten when suppose he fatters himself that steps
to form Democratic State may safely oe
taken. In addition TO this Lis EXeellency, beng
Western man, with California experience, no DOUBT
supposes that be could make q good thing OF IL
