no doubt that the final result will be entire harmony
of views and concurrence OF policy for the danger
grows every day more imminent and the fact stares
as boldly in the face that it will in all likelihood, soon
be- revolution submission. This Is earfnl alterna

Remember this is no childs pay--it 10 fearful
drama, to which the strife we ha re hitherto gone

II must be remembered ii we have got 10 do this, that

measure dependent upon the lands OF our enemies tor
produce. The question comes home, how far will the
Forth sustain us in fighting her battles. II u not
alone for ourselves but for the country and the race,
that we oppose this usurpatid We shall resist it 10
the bitter ED. Will the North sustain us, actively
and energetcaly! Now is the time to answer.
rgAvRNwORTH SEws.
Considerable excitement has existed for week
Dast in LeavenwOrth City, in consequence oi niorma
ton that the MissouriGns were gathering 10 attack
che city, In view OF this, party Of men went mp To
KickapOo and carried off tTiumphantly cannon be-
longing to the Rangers. II was brought over to Law
renee, where il remains This capture was made to
prevent the use of it against Leavenworth. On
Thursday night, the city authorities had out mounted
patrols, of whom shot in the shoulder by some
person unknown. who rode near and on beng chal-
benged, fired on the guard.
Gen. Lane has been in the city for week past and
has enrolled 700 men, citizens of that place. IN the
Territorial Militia. The General spoke at very large
and enthusiastic meeting, and advocated the putting
OF the Topeka Government into motion All illusions
10 that policy brought down the house.
GENERAL ELECTION NEWS.
The Rufian State ticket has trumphed in Leaven-
worth County by nearly 300 majority KicSapoo
returned between 200 and 800 votes 1t is intended
to enact special law by which Kick apOo will not be
allowed TO have voting precinct in the future Tue
vote at Delaware Crossing was about 300, and this
with the Kckapooing, enabled the Felons to triumph:
So far heard from, the vote is largely IN favor OF
the Boiling Free State ticket However there can
be no doubt that the Rufians have carried the oor-
der. Bourbon County gives 200 and Notice 70 MAJOR
ity for Marshall. Linn County is reported as giving
los majority for Marshall though the actual majority
IL about 400 for Smith. Lykins County is doubtful,
Tor though the FreeState men have decided major
ity, yet, excepting at Osawaomle they did vote as
a unit on State officers Johnson County gives l5OO
majority for the Ruffans, Oxford casting SUI votes;
Abe Free-State vote Smith being about 4OO, and the
bona ade Pro-Savery vote IOO. Ieavenwortn, ai,er
being Kickapooized, gives 800 majority. Atchison is
doubtful. The FreeState men claim II by 4o MAJOR
Hy; that however, can soon be overcome In Dom
phan County the r. ,e-Siate men did not vote ana,
therefore the Rufian ticket was elected. These,
with Marshall County, give, majority, IN both
branches of the Legislature sufficient to send Calhoun
and Isaacs to the United States Senate.
Not half the Free-State men voted the Boiler
ticket vet Calhoun is obliged TO resort to all the frauds
admissible under the LecomptOn fraud to overcome
that fractional vote. You are aware that under the
I.ecompton Constitution the Judges OF Eec4Dn are
appointed by Calhoun; the returns are canvassd and
Ale result proclaimed by Calhoun, and no oath is re-
auired from either Judges and Canvassers to establish
the correctness Of either returns or result we vote
DO more !" is the general cry of those who went into
the election believing that the sacredness Of the ballot
box would be respected.
The vote for the Lecompton Constitution with SlaV-
cry, on the 2ls ult is about 5000.
