QUINDAPVO Oct. 12, 1857.
FRIEND CHASE : As vou have remind
> .y *
ed me thaf F had promised you in my
•last letter home, to give you the particu
lars of the late election, I will endeavor
to do s.> to the best of my poor ability,
for I am not perfect in Syntax, so you
will wrdou me il it is not quite so inter
eetitig to you as it would have been had
you seen it in some one of our papers in
this pan of ;be earth, will you? Well,
to begin with, on Thursday, Friday aud
Saturday, there was seen to be sctpe 150
or 230 Missouri ans cross a few miles
aud below this City. That looked
to the Free State men uf
th : s placa, did it r.ot ?
Well, it war ymly for our good that we
them, fur before we bad thought that
we should have at least justice done to
U", as Gov. R. J. Walker, (that venera
ble old scoundrel) had sworn to us (the
Free .State party, as you of course under
stand; that he would see that there wa>
no illegal voting done, but we afterwards
found cut, that was only a scheme tu keep
JUS Qff our guard; BO when we saw the
MDsourian? crossing every day we began
'p think that Walker was pluyiug some
of his old tricks with us. We prepared
curatives, "armed ourselves to the teeth"
find marched to the poll, which was two
jalies and a half from our City, at Wy
andotte City, a pro-slavery hole in our
precinct, which was the place selected by
Secretary Lecotnpte ibr the poll ( for we
are not ailuivod to have the election held
in more than one place in each precinct ,
They would not even let have one Free
State .judge, and at ih>t refused to let u
have a eha'Duger to challenge such men
as wc thought would vote illegally, hut
Wfc Ruem if they did not allow
us to have a challenger we would tak< the
polls away from them entirely, and so
when they saw the determined spirit with
which we maintained our rights, they con
cluded to let us have our challengers and
one or two meu to keep tally of the votes
c aat so that they could not swindle us,
was not that right ? Well, towards eve
ning two or three Missuurians came stalk
ing up to the pils tp vote, but they wore
met by us and told that if they did not
get into their "crafts" and put back into
their State, we would put theui wfic-re
they would never have another such an
opportunity of going home, or in other
words, we would avenge our Free State
men who had perished by their hands in
the early struggles for Freedom. Weil,
tljcy finally concluded to go home and not
vote, though they went with hitter curses
falling from their polluted mouths upon
us, but they did not hurt u-. There were
about one hundred Free State votes cut
off by that six months law proclaimed by
his Honor., Robert j. Walker, Governor
of Territory of Kansas, in ordr to cut
off the tree State spring emigration to
the Territory, which they knew was very
great, and they knew if they got to vote,
,we should beat them so bad that they
(even the Border Ruffians) would be
of themselves. However as it
was we carriof! our precinct by about sev
enty-five votes. There was one hundred
and ten votes polled from Quiudaro uud
out of the whole there was hut one pro
fclavery vote polled ! How will that do for
a Free State town with fifty foreign vot-
era in it, say ?
Lawrence polled 950 rotes all together
and out of that the Free State men a:ot
743 of the votes. The Pro-Slavery Judir-
Jo
es became so obnoxious to the people that
*hey took possession of the polls thcm-
BCUSS and carried the election on legally,
giving cvsry nian his rights. At Le
compton the Ffe? >State party were also
triumphant, in fact, they gained every
eounty in the Territory but t*#o, and they
wej-e fraudulently gained by the other
party through Gov. Vf alter who was
Kickapoo, and after he found tliat the
Free State party were going to win the
day he sent to the Fort for 300 soldiers
and disguised them as citizens and then
mude them vote pro-slavery. On the
next day (for wc are allowed two days for
election) the Gov. got on a "big drunk''
and ruade a speech to the troops, and told
♦hem that it was their right to vote, aai
them all vote again. That was 6JO
fraudulent votes in Leavenworth County.
jit afterwards made a speech to soias
Missourians, and told them to vote, as
d- d Free State party were iiekiug
them. After this pews got to the Free
State men, thy becamg so enraged at him
that he wa* obliged to {jet on a steamboat
and oouie d(.i*n the nvej. to Wyandotte
where the uews had not yc> arrived, but
<t w.ct. iiat the "wingrt the wind"
and he came up to Quiudaro. As soon
as the citizeus found he was here, their
first impulse was to bring him out aud
hang him, the popular leeliug was so
much against his infamous proceedings.
But they were finally persuaded by Gov.
Robinson, who lives here, (God bless his
precious soul) not to use any violence on
him. as he was alone and old, and it would
only bo a staiu on our characters. So we
let the old Dtvt'l alone, hut treated him
with contempt all the time he was here,
which was several hours; even the little
boys and girls that passed him in the
streets, sneered at him. and the dogs and
pigs seemed to shun him n$ though he
was some '"plague" which had comi&iuong
us. After a while there \yas gcommittee
of three appointed t.Q virit him and ask
h;ui if what in regard to his pro-j
gocd.pg- v at Kickapoo were true or not,
and he owm d up after it was ] rjved by
men who were there and saw the whole.
When he left, no one accompanied him >
to the boat, but lie passed dotyn t!,o street i
alone, with the sneers and curses of the
inhabitants grating ou hi? ears; and uch
was the contempt be was treated with
here, that even HE hung his head down
as ho left the town. As it is Hearing
on to midnight, and my space is small, I
must close uiv epistle to you, which I
trust will in a measure pay you for read
ing it, and in my n*xt I will gue you a
more full and correct statement of affairs
after they are officially announced. But
we have beyond a doubt, gained the elec
tion, and triumphed over the demons that
disgrace this beautiful Territory. Rarrotf,
our Delegate to Congress is elected by
0,000 majority.

' T EQjTOR AND PUBL!?lji^
®®""Wc hope every reader wiii peruse
the Kansas letter on the first page. Tim'
Governor Walker has refused to sanction j
the Oxford fraud, he has not as yet done
any thing about the Kickapoo fraud,
which was transacted in his presence.
Our farmers, who are free fro ni
debt, arc very favorably situated, and
therefore, there is a general tone of cheer
ful hopefulness throughout the County,
notwithstanding the hard times and the
money difficulties. To those who aie in
debt, let us urge the duty and necessity
of getting out of debt as soon as possible.
Dispense with all outlays, except those of
necessity, and you will soon be<jiu to iin
*
prove your condijiop.

Session of Kulalia Division of'
S. of T. last Saturday evening, must have
had a happy influence on till who attend
ed. The circular from the Committee of
the National Division, was a very encour
aging document.
There was a iarge attendance of visit
ing members, one of whom, Miss Lewis,
read a short, but impressive essay, on the
best method of promoting the cause of 1
Temperance. Then we had brief address
es from Rev. A. MclnQre and J. Hen
drick. We don't see how absent mem
bers can afford to lose such a feast of good
things.
Next Saturday evening our dcors will
be opened to the public at half past seven,
at which time tho Rev. C M Blake, will
deliver a Lecture before the Coudersport
! Library Association. We trust there
i # J
will be a full house.

It is iiot often we are able to quote the
authority of a leading minister of a lead
ing Church, iu support of onr position
on this point. But Dr. Cheever in the'
list Independent expresses our exact'
idea of the responsibility of Northern ,
Christians for the support of Slavery, as .
follows: j
* * * "Bl'T IF THE)*'
iIAD STOOD IN MV COUNSELS, AND 27Afi ••
CAUSED MY PEOPLE TO HEAR MY WORDS, •
THEN TIIEYSfJOT I.D JJAyE TURNED TIIEM l
FROM THEIR EVIL WAY, AND FROM TIIE
*VJL O f v Til EI II DOINGS,
j D\Ve put this great and solemn sen
tence in capitals-for its mighty demon
stration of our responsibility for the faith
ful application of the word of God as it
is committed to us, to turn ilie nation i
and the people from their sins. We
commend it to the churches, and thee
ministers, and the directors of the Tract,
Society, and we affirm that if the experi
ment lies been tried, and in reliance on
God, J lis word had been spoken freely
apd faithfully, instead of being eoucealed,
'iu regard to the gfeat national sin of our
country, slavery would have ceased in oip
whole land years ago. And it never will
cease until the word of God is preached
! against it ; and meantime, whether in
phurolies, pulpits, ur Tract Societies, •
those who jiide God's word, or handle it
deceitfully in regarij to this mat.tea, or
persuade and euforpe the poije.y of si
lence, are responsible for the continuance
of the sin.''
And we commend the sentence in ean
-1 •
itals, and the comments, to all professing
1 1'hristians who may read our paper, as
something which concerns them. Is
there any escape from the position here
assumed ?
J LI!
The E)aj PejrJas t? Daw n lis
IA ;J It'jits,
; We stated in our last that the election,
in Kansas was producing most important
effects. We have now tlie pleasure of
: giving still more conclusive evidence of
that fact. The Free State majority Is so,
overwhelmning that even Gov. Wplkpr,
is awed by it, and refuses to sanction the
Oxford fictitious returns described on our
find page, iu the Kansas letter to the,'
Missouri Democrat. That fraud, with'
others net fully exposed, was i;iteud'd :
and expected to secure the control of tiie
Border Ruffians in the Legislature. That •
is the way they have carried every elec
tion that has been held in Kansas. Do
'our readers enquire why it is, that the
agents of the Administration refuse to al
low the Border liuffian.s to continue by
fraud, authority and rule that was first
obtained by fraud, with the help of the
Administration. We have a ready an
:swer to this enquiry iu the Proclamation
just issued by Governor Walker and .Sec
retary Stanton. The following extract
from this Proclamation shows why the
Administration will no longer stand by
the Border Ruffian usurpation. Read
and ponder:
"In view of the condition of affairs in
: Rpnsas for several years past, of the ef
forts so long made to put in operation
here a revolutionary Government, and of
the fact that this effort was suspended
under the belief that the political ditficul
! ties of this Territory might at length be
' fairly adjusted at tfie polls ; if that, adjust-
I mcnt should now be defeated and t lie peo
ple deprived of their rightful power under
the laws of Cougross, by fictitious returns
of votes never given, it is our solemn cou-j
I yiytihn that the pacification of Kansas,
; through the exercise of the elective fran
'ohi.se, would become impracticable, and
that civil war would immediately be re
commenced in this Territory, extending,)
i we fear, to adjacent. States and subject-;
iwg the Government of the Union to em
inent peril."
There you haye if. The Oxford fraud
is repudiated, nof because it is a frond.
but because the Free State men suspended
their effort to put the Government of the'
people in force, under the promise that
this election should be a /air and honest |
one; and now, should the Administration
J i
; undertake to defraud them pf their rights
luyuiM, the people would not submit. —
From this pap did admission, jt is evident
: that Kansas is saved from the degradation '
lof the continuance of usurped authority, j
only by the organization of her Topeka !
Constitution, arid the military orgauiza- ;
! tiou of the people pledged to maintain
j their rights.
This is a glorious vindication of the
* I
policy and bravery of the Free State men
!of Kansas, and we trust will silence the
I f
grumbling of real and pretended friends
of the cause as well in Kansas a. in the
, States, as to the wisdom of the Topeka
j moreir.mt, and the men by wham that
V
movement was guided. \\ e know or no
men livipg, entitled to more honor, than
the Spartav who risked their all for
that movement. This Proclamation of
Governor Walker, is notice to ail there,
that their long night of gloom and oppres
sjou is passiug away —that th*Uf day of
triumph and rejoicing begins to dawn —,
To all such, wherever found, throughout
the prairie, of Kansas, we desire as one
of the people, to tender them our wann
est and heartiest thanks for the great ser
vice they have rendered the cause of
Freedom and humanity. J. S. M. j

MR. EDITOR : As f look into the,
dwellings, and stores, and offices, and
school-rooms of this Borough, and through
the country generally, id this time of the
yog)', I see a good deal to complain of from
JiW.s and ocerJieatcd rooms. I know
the people neglect trie iu many other ways;
but this is the chief object of complaiut
with me at present, They ought to ven
tilate their houses, sleeping-rooius, and
parlors more than they do, I sufler much |
from this source, but the stoves injure
n;e the worst of a;!.
Just think of it! lam expected to
keep every thing in excellent order in
this village, throughout, say three hen
dred and fifty pairs >/ lungs, each pair
averaging some thousands ui square indi
es of most delicate tissues, all injected
with millions of minute blood-vessels, and
molsteqed cyer y.'ith a soft breath of flu
id, of the finest quality, like the tear drop
of a fairv, Of this valued and soothing
moisture in the lungs, I am daily robbed
by the cruel and angry heats of stoves !
What can 1 do but suffer in such a dry
attnospben ? I -.less souje friendly hand
should open a door and admit a draught
of pure air of Heaven, from time to time,
I must soon perish. Those sizzling stoves ! i
Now for the remedy. Don't make too
much fire, in the first place. Then take
a broad flat dish; having as much evapo
rating surface as pos-ible, and beautiful as
you like —don't mind if it is not hand
some. .Set this half full of water on ev
ery stove in Coudcrsport, at once, and keep
it there. Otherwise, you won't blame me,
if in some instances, 1 shall fail altogeth-;
T
c-y : and perhaps new occupants be pro
vided, within the next six months, for
the retired spot tliis side of John Feet'*.
To all who desire me, I hope always to
peiuain tiieir and your true friend.

abort moments in the possession of the
comforts of temporal bliss; or, on the
other hand, by neglecting to appropriate
properly the means of happiness placed
at our disposal bv the wisdom of our
Creator, we allow ourselves to stay here
wpon His footstool without either doing
ourselves or those around us an atom ot
good. Of the latter class are those who
j neither read nor aid in sustaining a good
newspaper.
We have been looking over some of
our exchanges, with a view entirely t
literary merit, and with a desire to prc
; scut to our rea lers a list of good family
literary papers, from which they may
; scjcct a companion for our Jut ltv.vt, in
their family (droits, if they desire one.
We present below the names, character
and term*; of a few of our in st V eekiies;
1. The Home Jnurnul , edited and
published at New \ urk by two of Amer
ica's greatest and most beautitul poets
—N. I'. Willis and Leo. lb Morris. —
Thev live in a realm of beautiful ideas,
and have a particularly original faculty
for presenting them to thoir fellow-beings,
1 either in poetry or prose. \\ c have no
exchange we like hotter, or which so
happily beguiles oar leisti-V' 'moments
from the cares of life and the hot air of
polities. It is particularly adapted to
the home circle, and is the favorite of
the ladies. It only costs a year, and
its new volume will commence with the
new year.
JI. Life Illustrated is one of those
papers which never fail to set its renders
to thinking of realities—of the value of
life and the best method of rendering it
happy and tranquil—indeed, it is just
what ;ts name indicates —an index to
correct living and sound morality. It
is modest in its opinions, suggesting
rather than dictating healthy reforms;
commending whatever is good, con
ddmning that which is had, and gently
admonishing uu-ain-i the formation of
new offenses against the laws of Loci apd
Nature; and while ii may be said to
! eschew politics, it frequently indirectly
I indicates healthy reforms. It 1-. one
; of our very best exchanges, and ii any of
our readers desire to add it to. the;v hum
! side comforts wc will take pleasure in
acting as the agent to procure H at the
most reasonable rates for them. Single
copies, one year §l—six months 81 —
four copies three months, Si . We.will
cluh it with our own paper at even less
rates. Address FOWLER AND WELLS,
liOS Broadway, N. Y. Life Illustrated
has jqat commenced a new volume, with
a new and elaguntly designed head, and
we believe an entire new dress. Now is
the time to subscribe for it.

but Lave not room this week. Wo will
