KANSAS FRArDs.--Great outcries are break
ing out in various quarters, of most outrageous
frauds by the Missourisns in the late Kansas
Lccompton constitutional election. One anti
slavery correspondent says that on the Missouri
shore Of the dividing river, be saw the horses
and wagons Of the border rufians rs thick In
the woods as such things are only to be found
at a Methodist camp meeting, while the men
were on the Kansas side working and voting
for slavery. Another writer gives an awful
account Of the heavy vote reported from OK
ford, Kickapoo and other places, where. IL ia al
legged the border rufIisns ne Ne Cincinnati
Directory TO I'll up their SfSoiai rstsns. An
other man charges that certan industrious Mis-
sourians voted half dozen times during the
day. But with every allowance for these al
legged frauds, we think it can be shown that
slavery was still successful In the said election
And whyH From the fraud of the free State
party in refusing to vote. But will this fraud
be of any avail It might be urged to some
purpose, but from the fact that popular cleo
tions are not decided by those who refuse to
vote, but by those who do vote. II the free
State men of Kansas are willing to leave their
voting TO the pro-slavery party, they must
abide by the consequence. That's all
