We have it on the best and most re-
liable border-ruffian authority, that the
Infamous traitor, Calhoun, has received
what purports to be the returns from Del
aware Crossing, in this county, by which
an ostensible majority of 395 is given for
the pro-slavery candidates. All the cleo
ton Judges, and all the clerks, besides
Jack Henderson and persons living ID the
vicinity, have sworn that but forty three
votes were there polled; and yet Calhoun
declares . majority of 395. a fraud so
glsring, and of such magnitude, must be
answered in other ways than by words.
Awhole people are not to be disfranehised
by some arch-traitor, and submit without
a mumur or q stroke. The crime and
the occasion demand something more po-
tent and pertinent. Calhoun should nev-
er be allowed to tread again the soil OF
Kansas. and if Jack Henderson is party
to the forgery, he should be made to sui
fer the EXTREMIST penalties of the law
All the candidates en- the Free State tick
ct and large majority of the Legislature
under the Lecompton Constitution, have
been fairly elected, and if said Constitu-
ton should chance to pass Congress, they
will demand and secure their Offices Al

We ask the special attention of COUNTRY

general course of that stream, with east

Kansas the place TO Live.

Our Territory has been so much stirred
up with political maneuvering, such a
football for broken down politicians, and
so much called in play either to save or
serve the Union-thst her natural advan-
tages, as home for the emigrant have
been almost entirely overlooked.
This has been the finest Winter we
have ever seen, and if it be fair speci-
men of Kansas Winters, we have no hes
itation in saying, that there is no climate
in the Union which can surpass it; for
more than two months we have not had
a day, that was not copy of the brightest
and most pleasant May days of the South
calm, balmy, bright, pleasant, clear day,
and exhilerating. No one could COM
plain, all were in ectacies. Here we are
in the middle of the Winter, with bright
sunshine, and dry atmosphere which
would shame the Elysium of the Greeks.
Then our soil-trayel East, West, North
or South, in whichever direction you
travel, broad prairies open a prospect to
your view, which while it invokes admi-
ration for its beauty, and boundless-
ness-at the same time thrills the bo-
som of all who are under the decree
made in the days of old Adam, "That
man should live by the sweat of his
brow" A rich alluvial, equal to any,
in any part of the Union, or the world,
salutes their view-fne fields ready clear.
ed of all those distractions to profitable
system of agriculture, which are usually
met in new country, invite settlement,
farmer, not many miles from Leavenworth,
a few days since, who assured US that his
clear profits upon six acres of land in culti-
vation in 1857 exceeded fifty dollars per
acre. There is not State or Territory in
the United States which can beat this.
Why then should so many who are drag
ging out slow, and fatal existence in the
old States, stay away from Kansas p
Many will say that the society is too bad,
that we have too much anarchy and blood
shed-there never was greater mistake;
Kansas is settled by as highminded. hon.
orable, intelligent and we'll educated peo-
pie as may be found in the world-like
every community we have occasional out
breaks-like every community We have
some settlers, that we would willingly be
rid of. But take our society generally,
either in Leavenworth, Lawrence, Wyan-
dott, Kickapoo, or the country generally,
and it will compare well with that of
States far older. and more densely popu-
lated. Our political acerbities are wear
ing of, we are getting rid of those who
could live only in ruined and troubled
world; all is now quiet, and destined to
remain SO, and we predict that next Spring
and Summer we shall have the largest
emigration that was ever known to go to
a new country we shall hail such an
event as auspieious for the whole country,
and we invite men, women and children,
to come to this, the first country in the
world, and cast their lot with us-espe-
cially let the ladies come, for their paucity
has caused much trouble, and their pres
ence will make Kansas, as it was designed
by nature to be, the greatest country on
earth. Come one, come all, and find
happy and welcome home.-LeaUenpoTt

this man, so favored, dare not travel oyel

to that, he dare not sleep in any public
hotel without the protection of bayonets

He fed to Weston, Missouri before the
election.
He took refuge at the Fort after the
election.
He marched from the Fort to Lecomp-
ton and back under an escort of o. S.
troops.
He left the Fort for Weston, Missouri
again.
He makes that place his home, and if
he touches the soil of the Territory takes
care not to be recognized.
Doubtless, he was scared out of his
wits, in the first place, or he never would
have run off as he did. His own consci-
ence evidently made a coward of him. It
filled the air with daggers, and converted
every shadow into an assassin. Bad and
base as he was thought or known to be, he
could have walked our streets unharmed,
though his eye might have met the scowl,
or his ear heard the hiss of indignant
freemen.
But facts beyond dispute prove, that he
knew of the frauds which were to be COM
mitted on election day. He was familiar
with the mode of proceeding to be adopt
ed at Kickapoo, Delaware and Delaware
Crossings, in this county. Jack Hender-
son was his croney and agent. He re-
ceived, or understood well where he could
get the lost poll-book of Delaware Cross
ings, wherein the vote was increased from
torty-tlsree to three hundred and ninety:tUe.
By such cronies, and through such agents
all of them, almost, the paid officers of
the Federal Government-he arranged,
or was to eountenance, whatever frauds
might be practiced in johnson and other
counties. John Calhoun was the master
spirit-the center, at least, of all these
planned villainies-of these internal at
tempts to destroy the purity of the ballot,
and to prevent freemen from having, or
expressing their will fairly.
Is it strange, then, that the indignation
against him should be so strong and so
general? Is it wosderful that he should
make himself fugitive? The wonder
is or should be, that such man could be
protected by the Government, or permit
ted to hold Office under it, or that being
SO protected, the people, whom he had so
outrageously wronged, had not seized and
punished him, whatever the cost-Leav-

Shall We vote or No, vote,


THIS Is 4 QUESTION OF GREAT IMPOR-
l. tance. My own opinion is that We ought not
to vote: but this difference of opinion viii BY
no means prevent me from selling oil the goods /
can to those who see fit to vote under the infer
nal apportionment act of the bogus authorities,

Supposing, however. that the voters win vast
ly outnumber the non-voters, have made espe-
eial arrangements for their accommodation, not
in the way of voting. but in the way of supply
ing them with GROCERIES and PROVISIONS

The attention of the settlers on the Neosho,

stone, with brick front, thus affording an excel

three stories high and sixty feet long. My OBJ
ject is to sell at wholesale at precisely the same
as the Leayenworth wholesale stores, with the
addition of freight from I.eavenWorth here.
This will enable the distant settlers to obtain

home more than half as long as if they went 10
