The Kansas herald of freedom., 1858-01-16

Denver. and the President of the Council
and Speaker of the Honse, and the result
| is before the people. The figures give US
$50 majority for G. W. Smith, Governor;
sol majority for W. 7. Roberts, Lieut..
Governor; 3o1 majority for P. C. Sehuy-
ler, Secretary of State; 81 majority for
A. J. Mead, Treasurer; 304 majority for
j. K. Goodin. Auditor; and 696 majority
for Marcus ]. Parrott, Representative in
Congress.
We have elected Representatives in
the State Legislature from Atchison coun-
ty; 8 from Leavenworth; from Brown
and Nemaha; 1from Calhoun and Potto-
wattomie; 2 from Jefferson; 1 from Riley;
/ from Lykins; from Douglas; from
Anderson and franklin; from Shawnee;
1 from Weller and Cofey; from Wood
son, Wilson, Greenwood, Godfrey and
Madison; and one from Breckenridge and
Richardson, making 20. The Pro-slavery
usurpers have, by fraud, or inaction of our
Free State friends, elected 4 in Doniphan;
l in Marshall and Washington; 4 in John
son;2 in Linn; 2 in Bourbon; ! in McGee,
Allen and Dorm, and l in Davis, Wise,
Butler and Hunter, making Is in the
aggregate. The 80 votes destroyed at
the Linn county precinct, by james Mont
gomery, the Topeka Senator and Free
State border rufian, gave that county to
the Pro-slavery party; otherwise the re-
suit would have been as we figured it
last week, to wit: 81 Free State, to 13
Pro-slsvery. And yet we are not with
out hope that that county may be saved,
as Mr.. Calhoun is understood to say, that
he will count the vote of that precinct if
the Judges will make out certificates of
returns in form.
In the Senate, we have elected in
Atchison; 3 in Leavenworth; in Brown,
Nemaha and Pottowatomie; l in Riley,
Marshall, Dickson and Washington; in
Jefferson and Calhoun; in Lykins, An
derson and Franklin; in Douglas; in
Shawnee; in Dorm, Allen, Wilson, &C.;
and 1 in Richardson, Davis, Wise, Breck-
enridge, &C., making 13 While the Pro-
slavery factionists, by frauds &C., will get
certificates for 1 from Doniphan; l in
Doniphan and Atchison; in johnson; I
in Linn; and ! in Bourbon and McGee,
making 6 in the aggregate. The Senator
in Linn is lost in the same way the Rep
resentatives were lost from that county
by the violence of Montgomery, whom
the people there should load with infamy.
The "Bolters ticket received for
Governor, 1915 votes. while the Usurpers
ticket received but 6,545. Ofthese, from
5000 to 1000 are conceded to be fraudu-
lent and fictitious Had each person who
was in attendance at the polls on the 4tb,
voted for State officers, as he would have
done had itnot been for the decision of the
Slotks in the Convention at Lawrence on
the 23d ult., our majority would have
exceeded 1900, over and above all the
imported, double, triple, quadruple and
simulated votes ofour opponents.
twill be remembered that expresses,
| lying circulars, and half sheet newspapers
were sent broadcast over the Territory,
urging, and even begging Free State men
to keep from the polls. In some precincts
violence was resorted to, and ballot-b boxes
were destroyed while against all this was
arrayed the border ruffian invaders, their
forged returns, &C., and yet we are victo-
rious. The bitterest enemies we ever had,
those trying to crush us in our own ranks,
said this was "Brown ticket" that it
was born in Browns Cellar Kitchen"
that only half dozen participated in
getting it up: and that Brown had sue
ceeded in getting his party at last, mis-
erable party of Boilers, who will probably
poll 500 votes in the Territory, distract
ing the Free State party, and defeating
ali our hopes"
4 As Free State man, ardently desirous
above all things else to make Kansas free;
and as hater of the expressions of the
past, and the tyranny attempted to be
foisted upon the people, and as lover of
Justice and equal rights to all men we re-
Ijoice. We rejoice on our own account
not OVER our partisan friends, but in de-
fance of them because of the contempt
IDLE means they employed to defeat the
people from exercising their own choice
in the premises. While the thousands
outside of Lawrence, who have been i'm
properly Influenced against the voting
policy, are not included in any censure
we may bestow; we have determined the
leaders and press which have led off in the
do-nOthing policy, which they have failed
to successfully inaugurate in Kansas, shall
wear the title of Sloths, which their acts
have merlted, and which We ask the peo-
, pie and liberal presses of Kansas to aid
in fastening upon them while we take
the title they have given us. of Boilers
from their slothfu1 policy.
IL County Seats,
/ A friend writes US complaining of the
location of the county seat of Coffey coun-
ty at Leroy, claiming that the place is not
geographically central, nor the center Of
, population He states that Hampden
is nearer the center of the county than any
other place, and that it is a very desirable
point for the county seat. 1t is favored
with dense population around the town;
, has a steam saw mill, and various public
and private Improvements, and is behind
