WASHINGTO NEWS AND GOSSIP.
The RESULT OF THE KANSAS ELECTION FOR
STATE OFFICERs.-Below will be found let
ter to US from General j. Calhoun, covering
bis award Of the result of this election. A day
or two since, we published the result of very
recent election in Leavenworth city for con-
vention ordered to assemble by the late bogus
State Legislature. That vote, all told was some
600; against some 200 purpsrting to have been
cast with resident population Of about 5000
souls In that same city, in the election of which
Gen. Calhoun's communication treats Leayen-
worth is an abolition place, and of the 800
votes purporting to have been cast for the sbo-
ition candidates in the State election at least
500 must have been fraudulent; 200 Demo-
cratic votes having certainly been polled This
Is proved beyond question by the result of
molly contested election held there a month or
two since, wherein but 700 votes were polled,
and now by the result of the still more recent
election mentioned above, wherein but 600
votes were pollsd
Had the Leayenworth City POLLOCK been
pursed as that of the Delaware Crossings was
purged the result which General Calhoun here
announces would have been just the reverse in
Leavenworth county. General Calhoun to the
contrary notwithstanding - in view of the
sweeping fraud practised at Leavenworth, the
Democratic ticket for Leayenworth county was
fairly elected by some six or eight hundred
majority, even after allowing the abolitionists
oil they claim in connection with the Delware-
Crossings result:
WASHINGTON CITY, March 10, 1855
Editor Washington Star:
Slh As there has been great anxiety to learn
the result of the late election for members of tie
State legislature, under the Kansas Constitution
now before Congress, think IL proper to state
that recent Information, through Governor Denver
and others, leaves no doubt that the returned
vote from the Delaware Crossing, precinct in
Leayenworth county, should be rejected and that
Sernncates OF election should be issued without
reference to the vote Of that precinct
month ago was put in possession of news
paper containing what purpOrted to be the attda-
Wits OF the Judges of election at that precinct
ana, In communication to the Union, imme-
dlately stated that If the facts contained in said
smdavlts were presented TO me In an authentic
and reliable form, L should be governed by them
In determining the result Of the election in Lea
wentworth county.
Although have not received any reply to nv
letter to Gov Denver, yet, from various sources
OF Information, am left in no doubt as 10 the
statements of the judges Of election at that pre-
clnct; and shall therefore, issue the certificates
OF election to the persons having the highest
".
sP-ctlve OF tue Delaware Crossing precinct
regret to add that this decision will give the
control OF Kansas to a party which view as the
enemy Of the peace and good order the constitu-
ton and laws OF the Union.

senatorial and representative districts of Kansas
Certificates Oh election will accordingly issue:

PARTY MoVEnESIs.-The Republicans and
their allies are as busily engaged in fighting the
Democracy in the distant States as in Congress.
Mr.. Douglas, their new leader, is, for instance,
nooolng the country with circulars urging the
enemies OF the Democratic party to subscribe
for his organ at this point, on the ground
that 1t Is the only Democratic newspaper pub
hshed in 7" ashington This is rich in view of
the DISQUALIFICATION on his part it involves
Thus, of late, he had apparently become a We. |
bement CONTENDER and despiser of organs His |
circular, however, proves that he only regards |
them as nuisances, when not has organs"
Again: he is ostensibly furious against the |
idea Of the establishment of what he terms new |
Democratic tests, in the unanimous determine
ton Of the Democratic party to regard those as
their political enemies who fight in their enc
mics ranks Yet, in his remarkable circular
to which we refer, he coolly assumes TO set up
playing second fiddle to him in the matter of |
hghting the battles of the Republics party, as
that party is now engaged hand to hand with
the Democratic party, a. the true test of the
Democracy Of the journals of the day-those
journals that sustain the Democratic party
being anti Democratic in his estimation, while
