residence in Kansas Of late unpleasant,
and are all on their way to Washington.

very leaders who have made themselves
obnoxious have received warning to leave
the Territory, within a given time.
Calhoun has rejected about 1000 votes
given at the election on the 4th of Jan
uary, because they were sent to Gov
Denver instead Of himself, and by this
mode Of counting he has declared TWEEN
ty-two Democrats and twenty-five Re

sentaiives, and ten Democrats and nin'
Republicans to the Senate, giving tn
