Amt that coming out in a precinct
where, less than eighteen months ago, a
mans life vas in danger, il he was even
suspected of being for Free State? We
said, Immediately after the October cleo
ton, that henceforth the Pro- Slavery
stronghold of Doniphan County was
"gone up"-that the last Pro-Slavery
crow had been heard over the result Of
an election here. Were we not correct ?
Less than three months afterwards, and
the Free State majority is sol 1t will
now increase, ct each succeeding election.
The majority could have been run up
much higher. but many Free State voters
were absent, an others did not attend the
polls.

It will be seen that the Free State ma
jority is so, on each of the above offices.
There were 1872 votes cast against the
Lecompton Constitution but owing to
there being no Free State County ticket,
q number of the voters did not vote the
State ticket. Some filed out their tickets
with names for Senators and Representa-
lives. but this was not general thing.
We noticed a number of Free State
men quite happy during tho day. They
knew their strength, and seemed deter
mined to make up for former privations,
when they dared not avow their princi-
pies. Some of the old residenters stood
near the polls, relating how they had been
treated by the Border Rufians, in the
dark days, and the Blessings they show
cred down upon them, were given without
stint. Some of said ruffisns were near at
hand, and heard it sll, but walked of
with flea in their ear, and swallowed
their wrath, because they knew their pow
er had departed, and it would not have
been wholesome for them to resent.
In the evening. the Free State men
built up bonfire in the streets Of Iowa
Point, to jOllify over the vote on the
Constitution Some of the Pro-Slavery
men attempted to push it over, and Smoth-
er the blaze. but were compelled to beat
hasty retreat. But true to their natural
instincts, they ensconced themselves be-
hind buildings, and tying paper con-
tanning considerable quantity of powder
70 brick-bat, they attempted 10 throw
It into tho fire. They also put powder
Into bottles, and tried to throw them into
the fire. Several attempts were nearly
successful Had they succeeded, they
would have blown the burning tar over
che by-standers, perhaps causing a num-
Der Of deaths. and very probably firing

heretofore ruled Kansas, and are now the
especial pets Of the President.

that it would be late, but that, Il would take
