THE FRAUDS ON THE oIsr


We receive by every mail evidences Of the frauds
perpetrated IN Kansas at the election tue 2ls Of
December, when the Slavery clause alone was pre-
sented to the popular vote; and we do not doubt that
the Democratic party in that Territory, who are to
man against the Lecompton Constitution, have pre-
pared, and will lay before Congress, detailed state
ment Of these frauds. Nor do We doubt that Mr..
Buchanan will recommend the rejection Of the returns
OF that election, in accordance with the spirit of his
annual message. We have already called attention to
the fact that at two Precincts in the County Of John
son-viz. at Shawnee and Oxiord-s majority of 1000
votes was thrown for the Slavery clause, and this in
the face of the fact set forth by Gov Walker, that
the wko'C county does not contain more than from
three to four hundred votes
A Kansas correspondent Of The Cincinnati ERquir-
e7he Enquirer being of the journals in favor of
the Lecompton Consttuton-writng under date of
the Dist of December the day of the election employs
the following language:
:" Kansas has again been invaded by large numbers
of Missourians-they have voted here and elsewhere;
the result has been, unquestionably to give large
nominal vote to the Constitution with Slavery. That
such has been the none can deny. Your cores
pondent found in passing last week through Missouri
the county papers virtually advising the people of
Missouri to vote, and the people talking OF doing So.
III addition, have seen the Mssourlans come over in
large NUMBER have heard them confess that they
voted have heard others say that they have been
licted TO do so frequently, and that organization had
been effected with reference to doing so.'
Another correspondent, writing from Lcayenworth
City, Dec. g. to the editor of The ohio Statesman,
gives still more startling account of the frauds perpe-
trated Oh the 2lst, as follows:
LFAyESwoRTH CITY, Dec. ~, 1851.
"The election oflast Monday was a farce. Kansas
was again invaded by large number of Missouriaas,
and many voted many times. At this point was q
witness Of the invasion, and therefore speak what
know. have to this time heard only the result at
this point and Kckapoo. This place, where fraudu-
lent voting was degree prevented, and competent
to poll 200 votes, but go were polled, OF which
number go were for the Constitution with Slavery
Frees State men and Free-State conservative Pro-
Slavery Democrats refused to vote. AT kickapoo
10l7 votes will be returned. This point is notorious
for frauds and cannot legally poll at any time iOO
votes; il il almost unanimously Pro-Slayery-near
Weston, Missouri, which il quite town, and IT ia
clearly ascertained that many voted at least half
dozen times am satisfied that invasion and fraud
have been permitted all along the border. That Con-
gress will refuse to admit, when the facts are pre-
sened, doubt not. The people of Kansas now wor-
ship Douglas; they have almost all interpreted the
Kansas Nebraska bill as he does and really commits
crate Bgler especially as it is known, and will be
proved too, that when in the Territory last Summer,
in public addresses and private conversations ne took
the same ground. At Paoli he followed Gov. Walker,
and sustained him when he took ground in favor of
the submission of the whole instrument. Keep up
yJur fight. 1t is righteous one"
