The correspondent Of the Cincinnati
oommsrcial, writing from LcavcnwOrth,
Jan. Is, says:
.sRsv. Mr. Bachus, who crmc frmn To-
compton, BY way Of Lawroncc, to-day, ltings
the reliable intelligence with full rarticu-
lars"
Admitting all the fraudulent returns, the
Free State Party have elected the Lcgisla-
ture, while tho Pro-Slavcry party have. .elcc-
tod their State officers by about 300 major
ity. The letter says;
Calhoun opened the returns in presence
Of Gov. Denver the President Of the Sem
ate. and Speaker Of the House, of the Ter.
ritorial Legislature He refused to 90 be-
hind the returns, but promised to reject
them hereafter, IL proven fraudulent The
Legislature has ordered a committee to take
census Of these places, and this will give
the FREQ State men the State ticket also,
The majority Of the Legislature, however,
will be able by purging their own body, to
override the Governors vcto and call a
Convention to frame new constitution for
the State, provided Congress admits US un-
der the Lecompton Constitution. Thus, we
have peaceable remedy,
The same correspondent, in writing again
on the 10th, says:
The success Of the Free State party, in
tho recent election for State officers, has
turned out TO be complete and sweeping
Gov. Denver, aftor Calhoun had counted
the votes in his presence, proceeded on the
next day to count the returns against the
Lecompton Constitution, and discovered re-
turns which were intended for Calhoun,
which gave Free State majorties sufficient
to elect the entire State ticket, and give Par
rott about six hundred majority, even ad-
hitting the fraudulent returns, Of which,
when the Legislative committee reports,
general exhibit will be made.
The discovery Of these Free State votes
was made after the informant mentioned in
previous letter had left Lecompton.
Thus if Congress admits us under the
Lecompton Constitution, we have a com
plete control of the new State Government.
The pro-savery men are aghast, and the
Free State men shaking hands and breath
ing free again.
