unjust have been such charges
ITEMS OF NEWS.
Calhoun & Co. are counting the votes at Le-
compton. Calhoun has stated that he "wlll not
ego behind any of the returns no matter what
",they are" He has also stated that he Will not
ave certificates TO the State officers elected at the
bogus election just yet. He intends to wait a little
10 see Il there are no more returns What that
means is plain enough. Should they not have
enough, they will send for more.
Calhoun sent TO Lawrence for Mr.. Detzlcr,
Speaker of the House, and Mr. BabcOck President
Of the Senate, to see him count tho votes This IA
for effect of course. They went up, although it is
perfectly useless to suppose that they can in any
Ray prevent frauds.
There is rumOr that Denver will return to
Washington az soon as Calhoun declares the Bor-
der Ruffians elected The Hon. Marcus j. Parrott
writes here that he will leave Congress and return
TO Kansas should the Lecompton Constitution go
through Congress- A body of Slavery men
from Kansas City, Mo-, came up into the Delaware
Reserve yesterday to seek Jack Henderson and
rescue him. They did not venture to Lawrence
LECOMPTON, X. T., Jan. To- 1853.
The election returns are Gin" but not just all
"in." The vote is counted" but not just all

at, but not officially declared. The result of all

Of some 500 bogus votes not yet "counted," and
ether similar addenda that we know OF, to say
nothing of the great unfatbomed depth of Border
Rufhan deyiltry and directories which may yet
vemit forth The result is ."mixed." Since /
made up the table, one or two returns have been
counted, but the result is not materially changed.
1t appears that the Border-Rufians, or Calhoun,
have sacrificed their candidate for "fiis Superflu-
GUS Hghness," and elected VIM. Y Roberts for
Lieutenant. Governor. Parrot is also declared to
be elected. Calhoun has conhdentally told some.

majority. The Regent, however, means to be
cautious. He gives assurances that he will keep

seen that the Regent and the result OF the election

more cunning iniquty than this election plot de-
yelOps The LecOmptOn swinders mean to save
their heads and get the Slavery Constitution sad
died on the people without open rebellion, by giving
little TO the most corrupt element of the Free
State partythe element that is willing to buy and
sell for political power. They will hold the Senate
and all the State officers in their grasp, and are in
hopes that they can give the Free-State men one
majority in the House, and buy up that one, even
more for their purposes. But Calhoun has not
given and it appears will not now give, certificates.
lie viii keep the matter in uncertainty. He will
privately tell the Free-State men that they have
carried the Legislature-perhapS working majority
in both branches. He will covenant with all who
win stoop to covenant with him. / have already
heard numerous rumors of alliances with certain
MEN claiming to be Free-State men, by which he
proposes that he (Calhoun) aud a reliable Free
State National Democrat, opposed to all Free
Soilism," shall be elected United States Senators.
1t matters not whether the Legislature may or
may not ratify such cold bloodcd bargains. il mat
tiers little whether the present holding back of the
official result il a blind under which the Pro-Savery
men hope ultimately to secure everything. 1t
matters little what may be the precise proportions
of this last elimination of swndles. Enough is it
that the will of the people is in every essential par
teular utterly disregarded. Let no friend Of Kan
sss, or the rights of the people, ever permit his
vote in Congress to thrust the Lecompton swindle
on the people. 1t would be needless to add that
this election is the veriest pretense and humbug
The voting was fraud, the returns were frauds,
and now the "cOunt is mere swindle, by which,
through virtue of apparent concession, the conspr.
ators expect TO accomplish their complete purpose,
and save their miserable lives.
A few things about the election are worthy OF
note In the first place, several important returns are
withheld that will change the result. The vote OF
Marshall County is not included. At Msrysyille,
where Frank Marshall lives, although they have not
really more than 20 Pro-Slavery votes, they have
