A special despatch from Kansas City to the
St. Louis Democrat contains the alarming in
teligence that Indian hostilities of a formida.
bic character have been commenced in Western
Kansas The statement is as follows
About 5 600 Indian warriors OF the Kaw
Usage and Camanche tribes, have recently re
moved from the Little Arkansas to Butler and
Greenwood counties, Kansas Territory, and
and have been collecting for some time for the
purpose OF driving back the settlers from tn,
frontier. Their intention is by some supposed
to be revenge for the hanging OF Two kaw In
dans at Council Grove some weeks since, but
this seems hardly plausible as the point of at
tack is some seventy miles distant This, how
ever, may be a plan to decoy the men away
from the Grove, so the place may fall an easy
prey Certain it is, that the people of that
place have for some time anticipated an attack
On the morning of the nth a messenger ar
rived at Emporia with the Information that an
engagement had taken place between the In.
dans and whites near the town of EldOrado
in which one hundred Indians and five whites
were killed The same day another messenger
arrived from Chelsea, fifteen miles further up
tho Whitewater river, bringing note from N
ID Storrs, stating that the town was surround
ed by Indians, and that the settlers We're mo-
mentariIy expecting an attack, and asking fol
assistance. A company Of fifty left Emporia
that evening expecting to march to Chelsea
fifty miles distant, the next morning.

We noticed a few days ago that Captain
Schenley, formerly a resident of Pittsburgh
had been ousted from his seat in Parliament
for bribery obtaining his election. He was
returned from the borough of Dartmouth, Dew
onshirc, place which has long enjoyed an uu-
onviable notoriety in electionecriug history
and the facts disclosed by the report OF the
committee show that voters are not only pur-
chasable commodity in England, but command
round prices. The London Times can spare
its comments on Ameuc IN election frauds here
after, for Schcnley's case is thus stated:
At the late election, a Mr.. SchenIey came
| down from London to the Borough, supported
| by the recommendation of Lord John Russell,
and armed with ample means. lie brought
down with him $500 in notes and flUO in
goldi but that not proving sufficient, Admiral
| Courtnenay, one Of the honorable candidates
| committee, went to Lubbachs' bank with a
chech for 900, sigued by Mr. Sehenley, which
was paid in Al t2O notes. These notes soon
found their way back to the Bank of England
with the name Of voter for Mr. Schenlcy ON
the back of each of them. Another of Mr.
Schenley's agents, Mr. Topper, went about
offering eco or E7O (S3OO or $3.50 for vote,
and boz sted that he had found a canary's nest
He hired room for Mrs Schenley opposite to
the hustings, and paid f2O for it. lie paid
one man f75 for his yotei and gave another
f25 To 20 away and not vote at all. These
facts were SO clearly proved, that the sitting
member did not attempt any defence The
committee, therefore had no difficulty in re-
solving that Mr. Schenley did, by his agents
commit bribery, that he was not duly elected,
and that this election was, therefore void. 50
Lord John Russell and his protege have thrown
away their money and labor, to no other puT-
pose than Corupting the electors of Dartmouth.

would result in the certain loss of two or more

sacrifice my own chances for 3 sest in Congress,
which believed we're better than my competitors,
was the only step BY which result disastrous to

The Banner heads an article, Democracy cares
not fig for the Union" and says the UNION AND
American ''proclaims it." The quotation which it
gives from cur columns does not justify this asser-
ton, nor have we ever entertained or expressed a
sentiment unfriendly to the Federal Union.
In our article from which the Banner gives a
gsrbled extract we state explicitly that, "aH
Democrats lore the Union because is based upon that
organic lac which makes republican government
recognizing The equality Of eStates and the just rights
Of the people
That We love the Constitution more than the
Union, is because the Union would be worthless

"suit mOnarchist as well as republican. 1t would
be shadow without the substance"
The Democratic party would psrpetuate the Union
by sustaining the Constitution and protecting the
rights Of all the States and sections

Union but they do nothing to preserve il. On the
other hand. they GEEK to unite with party which
has been attempting for years to make enoroach-
ments upon the Constitution which It rests. The

Black Republicans are looking with intense inter
est to the result of our election tomorrow. The
Opposition in Tennessee are cooperating with the
Black Republicans in warning upon the Democracy.
The chances of electing Black Republican cOala-
ton President in 1860 increased just in proper
ton as the Democracy is weakened. The northern
freesoil wing of the Opposition constituting three
fourths of it's strength must derive all the benefit
that is to be gained by beating the Democratic
party. The faction known as the Opposition in the
South is powerless in a national contest, and has
only strength enough to help the Black Republicans
into power by combining with them and giving them
the electoral vote Of any slave State that may be
foolish enough to place itself under the Opposition
banner.
