ET- Some of the NEST sagacious members
of Congress are of the opinion that the Calhoun
Constitution will pass Congress, so great is the
buying power Of the Administration. We have
still hope, however, that this result may be

greatly distracted on the subject of voting IN,
der Constitution that they hate and loathe and
abhor to the centre of their hearts, with short
and imperfect notice, that failed to reach many
of the more distant districts. These causes
together, it is safe to say, reduced the Free
State vote to the extent of five thousand votes.
Very respectfully, your obedient servants,

President of the Council.

Speaker of the House.

81. Louis, Jan. 2l.-The Democrat publishes
the official returns of the recent Kansas cleo
tions, over the signature of Governor Denver,
as follows: Constitution with Slavery" 6, l43 !;
without Slavery" 6,069. At the election OF
the 4th instant, ali the Free State officers were
elected by an average majority of 4l5. The
Senate stands IL Free State men to Demo
Gratis; the House 20 Free State men to 10
Democrats. The majority against the Constr
tuition, at the same election, was 1920, the
alleged frauds in Oxford, Shawnee, and Kicka-
DOC, being counted.

SIGNIFIcANr.-The States, daily journal
published in Washington, on Saturday evening
contained an important and significant editorial
1t admits that fraudule IT votes were cast in the
late election in Kansa. upon the Lecompton
Constitution, that the people of Kansas don't
want that document forced upon them by Con-
gress, and concludes that these facts give an
entirely new aspect to the Kansas question. 1t
is rumored, since the publication of this article,
that the States will support Senator Douglas
and friends " hereafter"

sohdt?" See an Anti,Slavery President, TO be

Just and generous administration of the Gov
ernment
This letter shows tlst the Extremists, who
are for forcing the Lscompton fraud through
Congress, expect that it will cost the Democra.
cy power and position They well know that
its passage through Congress must sacrifice the
Northern Democracy, Why then press it |?
Why-unless it be tosinvite disunion and the
formation of Southern Republic Does Mr..
Buchanan commit him self to such police
n6 Ii Lecomptop be accepted in Cons ress,
what will the people of Kansas do? This
question is cften asked. A well.info med
gentleman from Kansas says, that in this
event, Calhoun will give certificates to the Pro.
Slavery representatives, who will meet in some
house at midnight, ana send Calhoun ans one
of his confederates TO the United States Sem
ate, where they will he welcome. The Free
State men will not allaw the Pro Slavery Leg
islature to meet in oEe, day, and will probably
drive all participants in the Calhoun Convention
from the Territory.
In TRoUBLE.-The Indiana Democracy is in
trouble-as any Democracy must be which is
cared for by the Indiura Senators. A cal for
q mas Convention has been issued at Indian
apolis, to place the Democratic party of that
State on the Douglas platform. The call closes
with the following language:
The naked question with Democrats in In
diana is, Are We is avor of contributing to
force the Constitution with Slavery upon the
people of Kansas again st their will &? If we are,
our party will be ov ,rwhelmed with defeat.
Whilst we cordially enc orse the Administration,
and generally are will az to tolerate divided
opinion, We ask our d. mocratic brethren not to
risk defeat by desertint those principles which
have led US to victory II the past, and the aban-
donment of which will doom us to defeat III the
future"
These are signals of distressl There i, no
installing them. Even in Indiana, the Desnoc-
racy tremble for the ISIS le, if Kansas comes into
the Union under the Calhoun Constitution.

of ore in abundance in that locality.
A company which went from Law

The gold found is similar to that Of
