on the Constitution by invitation of said
| Calhoun, for saying that not more than two
! thousand of these were cast Lv legal voters
Of the Territory.
The Territorial legislature 80 assembled
| by Acting Governor Stanton, passed an act
providing that the people on the .lth of Jan
uary, 1858, should cast their votes on said
| Constitution. either for it with Slavery, or
without Slavery. or against the Constitution
That vote was taken, and the vote against
the Constitution was moro than ten thousand
majority
The Convention provided for the election
Of State officers and Legislature undcr the
Constitution on the 4th dav of January
| 1858 but it was to be conducted by the
same men so appointed by said Calhoun, and
the returns made to him As to the voting
at this State election, the Free State people
were much divided in opinion. \ large
number declined to vote MS they feared the
so doing would he unfairly insisted on by
their opponents as a ratification of the Con-
sttution to which they were opposed. \ part
of the Free State people, who had thusvoted
against the Constitution, apprehcnding,
more especially from what was contained in
| the Presidents Annual Message, that Con
grcss might admit Kansas MS State under
and with this Constitution, even though
contrary to the will Of the majority of the
people there. and unwilling. in t'lat event,
to leave the State officers and Legislature in
the hands of the minority who framed and
| adopted that Constitution, proceeded to vote
at the election Of those State officers at the
polls conducted by the men So appointed by
said Calhoun.
The returns Of the election have been made
to said Calhoun, but as the Committee have
received no power to institute inquiry into
the true character of that election, we are
unable to say how far the well prepared ar
rangements for successful imposition have
been carried into execution with impunity.
From what has been disclosed by the invcs-
| legations before the Territorial Legislature,
we feel authorized to believe, that the pre-
parations to defeat the Will OF that people
have been extensively executed ana thcIr ul-

TRoTrI>G oN THE loE. some notable trials
ofspecd, came off on the ice Of the bay on
Thursday and Friday. Not a little interest
has been excited among horse-tanciers lately
by the discovery of unusual speed in an old
gray horse, owned and driven for many years
by Rev, j. X. Converse of this place. The
animal fell lame, a while since, and was
sold for trfing sum to Frenchman, who
disposed of him to a Mr. Fowler, for farm
horse. As the story was told to us, Mr.
Fowler was driving HIM with another horse
one day, and being in hurry cracked up
the horses, when to his surprise old Gray
struck > 40 gait and held it without break
ing, while his mate was on the full run.
Since then he has had more attention-and
has proved himself very fast trotter On
Thursday he was matched upon the ice
against the fast marc owned by Mr. J..
Drew of this place, in the presence of a great
crowd mile heats, best two in three. The
first heat was taken by the horse the
second was drawn, and the third and fourth
were barely won by the mare. Time 2.42,

How TO CLARITY MArLE SuGAE.-To The
Editor Of the american AgrIcuhw'N In
the first place, the buckets should be made of
good white pine or some other good clean ma
terial, and at the commencement Of every
sugar season, they should be carefully brush
ed out, to remove any dust or cobwebs that
may have collected, then immersed in boiling
water, washed thoroughly with a cloth, and
apparatus should go through similar ope-
ration.
The sap should be strained througha wooden
cloth and evaporated in sheet iron pans set in
such a manner that fire can only reach the
bottom of the pan, and the chimney carried
up outside the building so that no smoke or
ashes can fall into the sap while boiling
The evaporation must be as soon aftergather-
ing as possible. The syrup must be passed
through a woolen strainer when as thick as
it can be made to run through when cold
Sugar Off in pan made for the purpose,
use one made of the best Russia iron, three
feet long, a little over two feet wide, and
nine inches deep, 4 little cream may be
dropped in occasionally to keep it from boil
ing over.
When dry enough To retain its form well
when taken from the moulds, (Which may be
known by stirring little in saucer till
cold,) pour it into an iron or brass kettleand
stir it till it begins to thicken considerable
and pour it in oblong moulds made Of tin,
and holding, say five pounds each,
When cold take out of the moulds and
lay the glazed surface downward, which will
prevent draining until you are ready for this
operation. As the weather grows warm, ol
when ready, place the cakes ofsugar on theil
edges in some convenient vessel to catch anc
retain the molasses, and if you do not hav'
as nice sugar as can be made by any ordinary
process, then am no judge of the article.

stances, skinned milk saleratus and white
of eggs beaten together, &c, and am salts

everything sweet and clean, the sugar sclear
