There have been some fresh arrivals since / last
wrote YOU and some fresh facts recently developed,
about those who previously arrived Let US look the
worthless over ana examine their record, and see what
they want. Remember, reader, as you pass along,
that all these persons of whom write congratulate
" the President upon his Kansas policy"
Frank j. Marshall is first. He claims TO have been
elected Governor of the State under Lecompton, and
Calhoun assured HIM that he shall be so returned
The election was on the 4th OF January IL appears
by the testimony, in this city, taken before the
Kansas Board Of Commissioners, authorized by the
Legislature Of the Territory that Marshall was at
Jefferson City, Missouri en- route TO washington,
about three weeks before that election and there met
the Sherffs of different counties of Missouri in Gov.
Stewards Office. His conversation was NANNY with
the Sheris from the counties bordering on Kansas,
and the bject about his chances OF election as
Governor of the new State. The Sherffs
" thought he need not fear-that the Missouri
boys were all right" and one Sheriff prom
ised him four votes himself, and said the boys
in bis county would give him five hundred.
Another Sheriff said his county would give
him as many more. Gov. Stewart regretted
that he could not be in the Territory himself on
that day to help Marshall, but assured him that he
knew the Missouri boys were all ready to AFFORD hn
" aid" and expressed the belief that he (MarshalD
would be elected. Marshall expressed his dislike OF
the men selected by the Administration as Governors
for Kansas; they were not such men as he wanted.
He declared that he had set TIVE or hiteen traps Tor
Denver and thought it would be id singular II he
did not get his foot into Of them. He did not be-
lieve Denver would remain Governor of Kansas two
weeks. At this time Marshall learned that Governor
Walker who was then in Washington, had resigned
as Governor of Kansas, and then he concluded to re-
turn to Kansas instead of proceeding to Washington
He subsequently to this city to zee that Calhoun
returns " himself elected. II is reported that he

Col. Joshua II. Danforth, a citizen of Missouri and
member of the Convention that Endorsed Buchanan
Iecompton Constitution He il here. He carried the
poll books Of the election Of January ith Mt Shawnee,
in johnson County down to Westport, IN Missouri,
and took them into Col. Boone store, and there saw
Alexander s. johnson (son ofthe Rev. Tom Johnson),
Charles Godrey and j. +. Harwood, all " citizens OF
Kansas" writing names On the pollbooks. According
to the testimony there were Us names on the poohs
when the polls closed, ODe-haf OF which represented
Shawnee indians and MissOurians. When the parties
above named got through writing IN Col. Boones
store, the books showed that there had been 10
names added. This Col. Joshua II. Danorth, for his
services in conveying these polbooks into Missouri,
and witnessing these forgeres, is about 70 be appoint
ed if he has not been already Agent FOR the Kansas
Kickapoo lndiaDs
land, ole of the Judges of Election at shawnee.
While the above work was going on IN Col Boones
store, in Westport, Mo-, Alexander ). johnson took
the poll books Of the Dist Of December and orote
three or four hundred names NpOn them He is here
demanding the appointment of Agent ID Kansas OF the
Shawnee and Wyandott Indians, the most valuable
post of that class in Kansas and the one out OF which
,Johnsons father Rev. Thomas johnson OF shawnee
Mission has become immensely rich This young
johnson is to receive an appointment from TINS Ad
mni-iration for committing one OF the most hlgn
handed crimes under the laws, according TO the test
mony before the Commission, which leaves SUBJECT 10
his will the disposal of all lands upon the shawnee
Reservation.
Mr.. j. Winston, Agent of the Potawstsme In.
daps il also here. He has participated IN all the re-
cent election frauds in TINT Territory, for which ser
vices he has just been appointed by the Presioent
United States Marshal of Kansas Territory, ana E!ias
:. Dennis has been removed.
The question may arise why Mr.. Dennis has been
removed Look ct his testimony before the Board OF
Commissioners, and you find that he swore that ne
was at the voting precinct, in the border town Of
Oxford, on the 4th OF January; that, from an actusl
canvass there cannot be more than votes
in the precinct; that two hundred and fifty voters
were cast at the election referred TO, and that large
o0rfv oil them came from Missouri and after r0ting
retlrned 10 that State! Here you have the sum total
of his offense for which he has been removed by
James Buchanan. Mr.. Wins;on has not yet peea Gun
f,Iped BY the Senate. ~ ~
Samuel j. Jones DIETER known as Shenh Jones J

the execution Of their duties because they are oenu

TO be seen whether Buchanan will send there uleI
