The Leavenworth Bulletin. the Hindoo organ
of Carney, has been one of the loudest defenders
of the Fraud. It assured US that the people en-
dorsed it, that indignation meetings were all
6zzles. &c. Here is what it says now:
That the election was legal. there is no
doubt; and the only opposition to it is the fact
that it was held at a time when large portion
of the voters of the State were opposed to it, and
had been assured that an election would not be
held"

"The Senatorial election last winter was q
mistake. A people jealous of their rights will
never submit to a seeming usurpation of them.
That election was unusual, against custom.

THE "REs1GNAr1oN' OF FRAUD.

Thomas Carney's resignation 10 another
trick 1t ie such perfect farce that we cannot
call it otherwise. The latest advices we have is
that it has not been filed with the Secretary of
State and until that 10 done it is no resignation.
He hopes to appease the wrath of the people,
bot only making ones self ridiculous will have
no such effect. Facts proye that the "resigna-
ton" is not the result of the honesty and moral
beroism which his letter and his papers claim it
10. but the scheme Of his wire pullers to avoid
the inevitable doom awaiting them. Can the
people have faith in his claims to honesty after
his organs have admitted that they deliberately
lied the thing as far they could Can the
voters believe party who give as their principal
reason for such monstrous wrong the killing off
Of rival while that rival was far of, zealously
working for the people? The incidents con-
nected with the +" election" Of Carney are too
fresh in the minds Of the people. and too strongly
eontroyert the assumed inherent virtue of the
Pretender. There is such q striking contrast
between this letter Of esignation," and his
speech at the Senatorial Banquet-more properly
termed the " Senatorial Druuk"-one is oil hon
Aty and meekness. the other vanity and pomp.
The following is his letter
TOPEKA, April 90. 1864.
Gentlemen Of The C0arention:
Yours is the first Convention held since the
adjournment of the last Legislature, and en-
brace the opportunity to address you, and through
you, the people. -.F -.
was, as you are aware, elected United States
Senator by that Legislature.
Since then, that election has entered or been
forced into every political conflict.
: If there be one merit which may claim, il is
that of earnestly and industriously guarding the
rights and interests of the State. and will not
sndanger or sacrifice either by causing or con.
tinuing in it mere personal issue
! feel it to be my duty, therefore. to resign, as
now do, all claims to the Office of United States
Senator into the hands Of the people.
THos. CARNEY.
The chief characteristics of that letter is i'm
pudence and falsehood. We all know that fully
one-half the men who voted for him were under
pledges to their constituents not to 60 into ON
brought to bear upon them. And the assertion
that he would not have resigned had his
unprineipled and revolutionary trick succeeded
in giving him control of that Convention is
plain fact when We consider the circumstances
The manipulating process by which he was
elected. and the bogus delegates by which he
expected to sustain himself are sufficient to cause
this last act to sink him lower in the estimation
Of honest men.
1t is but an evidence Of desperation. and v.
warn the people to be xstchful, for trickery il
their only resort. ......
