Letters from Lawrence and Mrsis dee Cyenes 70 the
18th May, represent the people - very mach excited
in cons, quepce Of the recsnt cod-blooded massacre
and the reported preparations for another reid from
Missouri which is said 10 receive the sanction and
operation Of the Governor Of that State Il s ssesrtsd
that arms have been forwarded from the State Arsenal
to the Kapsss frontier for the use Of the Boris,R0
fans and that considerable force u under Arms on
the Missouri side of the border. The rre-S.ae men
are reported - not having any men actually In the
field but they the qxi rir to prevent any sur
prize, and in condition TO muster respectable force
at very short notice. in csse the threatened invA~on
should actually occur.
II is .ad by several letter writers that Gov. Denver
is dsposed to resist the threatened invasion instead Of
bounding on the rufians after the manner Of the i'm
mortal Shannon. This fact il il be fact, would seen
10 give color TO the rumors that Gov. ID Ike HE pre-
deceseors, has become disguised with the ofi,e he
holds and contemplates resignpg his poet ard turning
bis face California ward. OF course be must DO par
fectly well aware that should he take the side Of TIE
people Of Kansas against her invaders and woua-be
oppreseors such action would be at the expense Of bis
official head.
The returns Of the election on the adoption or pjec-
ten of the Leavenwoith Constitution not all 10 yot.
The vote appears to have been very ght, and the
turrs thus far received indicate that msjor'y have
cast their suffiages for that instrument
The indications now are that the peope Of Ksnsas
viii have an opportunity for fair vote on the Lecomp-
tor swindle. Ii will be remembered that the Eogish
bill provides that the Governor, Secretary and Aor
ney. General Of Kansas, together with the presdirg
officers Of the two branches Of the Territorial Lsgsla
ture, shsll be q Board of Commissioner, TO IN the
time for holding the election, decide where polls shall
be opened, appoint inspectors OF election, An
enlargement which was designed to give the Cincinnati
Directory Democracy complete control of the whole
machinery of the election by means Of q controlling
voice in the Board of Commissioners. This would give
the olgachs an opportunity to count 10 Lscompon In
case through fiaud and violence at the polls, they
should fail to deposit the requisite number Of ballots.
This little arrangement seems to have been seriousy
disturbed according to recent letter to TAe CAieago
TritUne, by the unexpected action Of the Connie
soners. II seems that the President recently detsi-
mined to remove Mr.. Weir, the Attorney General, 10
consequerc e Of the supposed Douglas lesnirgs Of
I'M Gnu oPPoh4s ia MO eeo~A s""A~~Se
seivi,er of Slavery. This fact coming to the kuowi
edge of Mr. Weir before his head was brought TO the
block, he concluded that for the remainder Of his
brief term he could well afford to do the han isome
thing for the people Of Kansas. So he united with
Messrs Babcock and Deitzer--the three form,rg
majority of the Bosroin ixiog the election for The
eecond day Of August and in authorizing Mr.. Dsitzer
10 prepare schedule containing the names Of
the Judges of election whom 10 is to appoint, tho
places Of voting, &C., and to issue the came in pro-
clsnatiop to the people forthwith The fest that Gov.
Denver had received instructions from Washington
not to call the Board together till after Mr.. Wems sue
cessor should arrive in the Territory and qualify leaked
out but his opponents were the majority, and no re-
ucsptly united with them in ordering the election So
unless some new Dodge be invented or this action
be repealed and reversed after the arrival Of the new
Attorney General there would seem to DO fair proc,
pecs that for the people of Kansas will enjoy
fair election.
