From The Ud,hngton Star Jan D.
Our reliable advices from Governor Denver are
even later than those of The 81. Louis Democrat.
They derived from gentleman who personally

the election Of the 4h inst went against the Topeka
ties by at least maorty of 900 votes The returns

assure the Stars readers that there can be
no truth in the dispatch, wherein it alleges
that the Topekaites rather than the Democrats
the friends Of the Lecompton Constitution az car
ried in the election of the 2lst ult., triumph
ant on the 4th inst The latter have carried, not only
the State officers, but the Legislature also, the news
from the correspondents OF The 81 LOutSDem0cr0t to
the contrary notwithstanding.
Az for the farce of casting a vote on the Lecompton
Constitution itself the 4th inst, being wholly ille
gal, the friends of that observation-disclosures who admit
s binding f0rce-reiused to vote upon that question:
which they held was finally Disposed of in the cleo

members of the Legislature under the provisions Of

party men and their pseudo Democratic aiders and
abetors TO mystify the minds of various Democratic
representatives. from Ohio New-York and Pennsyl-

at this time, between their allegiance to the Demo-
cratic party and its and their fears of the
power Of the AntSlavery sentiment in their respec-

experience in the politics OF our country That expe
rience has taught us that the nominal Democrat who
hesitates between standing fairly and squarely by his
party its principles and measures, through good and
evil report has but one away of saving himself
temporary-thst is, by at once avowing that he has
become convert to the views of the opposition and
more attached to him, personally, than to the time
honored enets of their nominal political faith Any
other course accords time to the latter to their
senses when they will leave such leaders to the fate
of other political temporizers so aptly illustrated in
the present political status of Messrs Wm e. Rives
and ii. 7. Tamadge.
