there are quite enough opposition parties

another and more sanguinary contest
Atchison, it is said, is in the Indian Terri
tory preparing new campaign against the
Northern settlers. The object, according
to his theory, is to turn the tile of cmigra-
ton in order to prevent the conquest OF
the Southern Territory by the advancing
army of Free Labor.
McGec and Dorm counties in Kansas,
hitherto and yet Indian reservations, are
being rapidly filled up with pro-slavery
men notwithstanding the existing treaties
1t has been ascertanc,l. too, that the Blue

Whether true or false. however, it is
firmly believed in Southern Kansas-ard

the existence Of the smallpox here at pre-
sent. whether the Congressional Conven-
tion had not better be held at Laporte.-
Since receiving it We have consulted two of
cur oldest physicians. Brown and Bennett.
besides other prominent Republicans, and
they all concur in the opinion that there
will not be particle of danger in holding
it here as appointed. The disease is al
ready nearly extinct in the place-only one
or two new cases having occurred during
the week past. and those in families wher
it first broke out. 1t is not spreading, and
rs every body has been vaccinated. we do
not believe it can spread any more. In
eight or ten days at farthest there will not,
we believe, be case in town. The excite
ment here and in the vicinity has complete
ly died out, in consequence Of the univer-
sal belief that it will not spread and must
soondisappear. Should our anticipations,
however. in this respect. seem likely to be
disappointed. we promise our friends
throughout the District to give them time
ly warning; in which event, let it be un-
derstood that the Convention will be held
at Laporte; that being the next most con-
venient point We shall be able to state

II will be unsafe to hold it here; and also

--latest from Kansas.

From the st. Louis Democrat of Friday
morning, we extract the following interest
ing item of Kansas news:
THE ELECTION.
The vote on the Leavenworth constitu-
ton was light one, but it seems that the
result is a ratification. Here Alp voted for
it, and $50 against it. A proposition to
confer the privilege of suffrage upon ne
groes was rejected in this city by 50 to
IA. The vote here upon this proposition
and upon the constitution may be assumed
as fair index of the vote in the Territory
at large. Tho indifference manifested by
the people on this occasion is attributable
to the belief that even the ratification of
the constitution could not impart sufficient
vitality to it, as the legality of the act call
ing the convention is denied by Gov. Den
yer.
have great pleasure in informing you
there is not the slightest chance of the PEG
pie of Kansas accepting the English bill.
Even the pro-slavery faction will vote a.
gainst it. On no question is there such
unanimity as on the Lecompton constitu-
ton in all its Protesn forms; and in its last
form the unclean thing is if possible more
obnoxious than ever. Whatever has been
said Of the detcstaion and disgust with which
the people of Kansas regard this thrice
damned iniquity, any one who visits the
Territory can corroborate. The land bride
has but supera'lded contempt to indigna-
ton and hatred When admitted into the
Union, Kansas will get the customary land
grants. and they will not decline in value
during the intervening period.
