SENATOR'S HUNTER AND HAArNroNp.-
The Now York Herald promptly contra
| diets n foolish Washington Corrospon-
dence' story, attributing to these two dis
tinguished gentlemen views with reference
to the acceptance of the Lecompton consti-
tuition, at variance with those of the Ad-
mipistration and the Democracy of Con-
sgress. The Herald, tSo assure it. is correct
IN it's idea that there il no foundation what
over for the story. Senator Hunter has
made record upon the question, every
line of which goes to disprove it, without
the positive contradiction he so freely ac-
cords to it. AS for Senator Hammond,
though not previously called on to express
his sentiments on the question, he belongs
to the school of craftsmanship slowest to
give aid and comfort to the direct foes of
the interests it represents. The public
may put in It's pipe and smoke all such sto-
rics concerning any Southern mcmbcrs of
either branch of Congress-

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 21.--Freesoil dispatches
received at this place, say that the returns
of the late election we're opened on the 18th
inst. The Calhoun count on the Constitu-
tion stood--for slavery, 8063 without sla-
very, 5076 votes. The last returns, how
ever, had not been counted. The Free
State candidate for Governor had thus far
received 6288, and the Democratic candi-
date $3.50 votes. For Congress, Parrott,
Freesoil, had received 6623, aud Carr Dem,
ocrat, 6569 votes. Gen. Calhoun had not
closed the counting, and would receive 9th
er returns. 1T
1t is also reported by the same Freesoil
dispatches, that the Legislature would
probably provide for another Constitutional
Convention.
