TOPEKA, X. T., Oct -, 1853.
All the election returns not yet in, but enough
have been received to know that the msjority for
the Constitution will be lsrge-upward Of two
Davis was there majority against the Coustitu-
too, and those msjOrties were small. In Douglas
County the majority for the Constitution wss ,O69;
in Shawnee, 436; il Franklin, 223; in Ly klns,
Is; in Lynn, 39i; in Bourbon, 200; in Coffee,
3C5; in Anderson 100; in Allen, 10; in Wyandot,
-; in Breckenridge, 500; in Riley, 1856; in Atch-
ison l07; in DOnphan, 100; in Brown, 1853;
in Jackson, -. Leayenworth City gave a
majority of go, but the remainder of the county
reduced that majority. BY reports verbally brought
from other parts of the Territory, the majority
must be from {, 600 TO 70C0 for the Constitution
The Administration organ at Lecompton takes
ground against the acceptance by Congress of the
instrument just ratified by the people. Unless the
object is to fight against the Constitution In Con-
sress, the opposition TO il by the Democracy is q
serious blunder, and this election is prophets OF
TIE other two elections 10 be held in Kansas this
Fall.
The result having been sscertaned with sufficient
accuracy to know that the Constitution vas over
whemipely accepted by the people, the Republl-
can Convention, previously called, assembled at
Topeka yesterday. The Convention was full, aud
represented all parts Of the Territory. A large
number Of outsiders were present, so that the tow
could hardly accommodate them. 1t was one OF
the largest Conventions ever held. A very consld-
cradle feeling seemed 10 exist among the various
sspirants and there was q sharp contest even on
the preliminary organization Of the Convention, she
election being by ballot. w. A. Philips was
elected first temporary, then permanent Chairman.
There were three candidates for Governor, Messrs
Chss Robinson II. p johnson, aud II. J. Adams.
The latter sentlemsn did not allow his name to be
formally announced 50 tina. the contest lay between
the other two. Gov Robinson WAS Nominated
Judge II. +. Conway was nominated tor Represen-
tatlve to Congress, his opponent being ". L.
Learnard, esq. DIR. John w. Robinson oi Man
haitian nominated for Secretary of State, DIR.
Fletcher of Shawnee being his opponent. DIR. }.
=. Root Of Wyandot for Lieutenant Governor, his
opponents being Professor Fish of Shawnee, Lar
li,r, and Barr of Doniphan. George ). Hitler Of
Gras.hopper Falls for Auditor, NJ. Parry and
B.rkau of Douglas being contestants. Mr.. Ta0len
(Geruan) of Leayenworth for State Treasurer,
bis contestants being Judge Wakefield aud Mr..
Herrck. For Superintendent OF Instruction, Nr.
G.. W. Griffith of Bourbon County. his contestants
being Prof. Davis Of Baldwin University, and r.
n. Bike esq, of Junction City. b. +. Simpson
of Iykins County Was nominated as Attorney
General John X. Douglass of LeayenwOrth con
testing. The three Judges of Supreme Court were
nominated by acclamatoD. Thomas Ewing. jr.,
for Chief Justice, Judge Klngmsn of Brown
County for four years, and Judge Bailey OF Emporla
for two years. The only other candidate in the
field was Judge Mckay of Wyandot, who had his
name withdrawn.
This ticket represents the diverse elements OF
the Republican psrty Of Kansas. The fact Of Rob-
inson being nominated for Governor aud Conway
for Congress is a proof Of this. IL represents all
localities. The whole was sharply contested. Inc
evidence is that no serious objection will be found
TO it; that there Will be no boiling ticket; that
the ticket will be elected in the face Of all cppOsi-
ton.
Some uncertainty exists as 10 the course that the
Democrats will pursue. They have called Con-
yention, to meet at Lawrence, 10 nominate candi-
dstes a part of the Democracy are in favor Of
making no nominations, but OF opposing the Con-
stitution before Congress.
