from sll but Is precincts, which cannot have cast
more than three or four hundred votes. They foot
up $50 for accepting the English proposition"
and II ,5li for rejecting it-Free State majority,

Pro-Slsyery majority. The grest interior County

at Kickapoo snd Delaware Crossing they have
pretended TO carry at every contested election, now

where they have once or twice pretended to pou
several hundred votes, when il was notorious that
there we're not dozen human habtatons in the
County, now gives them siI votes to IL Free
State. Even Bourbon, in which i, their Southern
stronghold, Fort Scott gives them but 81 votes to
400 Free State - most of their lesders having
found it convenient to step ont since Gov.
Denver appointed Free-Sate Sheriff, who is un-

O,awatamie, which they tried to rule, aud after
ward sacked, gives hree Pro-Slavery votes to go
Free. State. Waubonsee the New-Haveu colony,
gives II Free State to none. Big Springs, where
the Free State party was 6rst organized, is equally
unanimous-66 Free.State to none. klckapoo,
Oxford, WIllismsport Rising Sum- Lexington,
Troy. Wolf River, Breckenridge Paoh, and
Marysvile, are the sny precincts IN the Territory
from which We have Pro-Slavery majOrities. Atchi-
son is the only considerable place that came near
saying Yes to the English bill: there the vote was
l40 for 10 Isl against it, At Iowa Point, 1t was
100 fer to LOG against it, while at forty seven pre-
cincts it failed to receive single vote, though the
vote at several of them exceeded 100. Burngame
psye us against to none for; Bloomington l56
sganst to one for; Quiodsro 13O against to l6 for,
and Grasshopper Falls l66 against to for. And
nothing but an unreasonable flood prevented a
larger vote than was ever before pOlled in Terri
tory. The Republican forcibly says:
"If those persons who have been accustomed to
complain bitterly of the people Of this Territory for
not voting every time their enemies chose 10 get trap
for them, or offered juggle TO them, could have wit
ressed the freemen OF Southern Kansas on the ID OF
August, at the vote on the English bill, they would
probably have come to the conclusion that the people
of Kansas are much disposed to vote as anybody,
only give them fair chance for an honest and bona
fde election.
There had been excitement previous TO that
election and but very little canvassng. But every
man had quietly made up his mind to give one moro
kick tO the hated Lecompton Constitution, and had
accordingly determined to be at the polls at al
hazards.
"The day and Light previous to the election there
were extensive and heavy rains all over Southern
Kansas As consequence many Of the streams
were impossible There are almost no bridges at a
in Kansas and IN tnis open rolling prairie country
few hours of rain will raise the streams to
almost incredible hight. Ii on this occasion.
The Neosho River, fordsbe orly at low water, was
up clear its banks and spreading far out upon
the bottoms. The Marais des Cygnes was smpassable
except by INNING ana hazardous 10 the extrems at
that. All the smaller rivers and creeks were swollen
and turbid streams. Yet there were hundreds OF
brave, earnest tIuebearted freemen who stopped not
for STERN stream, but at the rsk Of their lives, on
boats and rafts, By swimming by climbing leaning
trees and leap Ing, by swimming their horses, and by
various expedeEts according 10 the exigences OF the
case, succeeded 10 reaching the polls and recording
their votes against the crime OF extending
human bondage over these fair and fertile plsins
What a spec .acle was this for the world IL was
heroism tar higher than that Of the Lireing soldier
who marches to the cannons mouth at the order of his
commander. Is il any wonder that Kansas has tri-
umphed with such noble souls in her mdst
I've hear reports that several lives were lost by
persons attempting to cross swollen streams to vote.
We sincerely hope these reports are net true Bat If
they are rus, Kansas should erect monument to the
memory of such noble men.
"We have probsby lost some thousands Of votes
against the swndle by this food snd that too, in
strongest Free-Sste precincts AZ consequence, the
Pro-Sayery vote, me sger as IL s bears heavier pro-
portion to the Free State vote than i. would Otherwise
have done. Still, the victory is q noble, glorious
one. Kansas has spoken a. not TO bs misunder-
stood. Never before have corrupt party and Ad-
minstration received so clear, emphatic and stern
rebuke from the people as the Democratic party and
James Buchanans Administration have received from
tho rse"nt vote OF the people of Kansas"
