If their ilea are whipped they are almOst sure to charge the Democrats-with fraudulent vo- tirvY, ‘ ballot-box stuffing, or something of the kind. = We, recollect but one instance where they did pot plead some such excuse. ghat was the' awful defeat of Davy Wilmot for Gpvernor." As he lacked over 70,000 of having a poular makit-y, they were obliged to eve op their idea- of "contesting the eke tion." They ,are now angry because Blair has been defeated .in for Congress, and pretend that it was bridught about by illegal I I voting. Let u: look .at i their bwn.figure. and e - .e _how ridiculoqs : e \position they occupy; We hale before us a statement which is going, the, rounds of the opposition -papers. The. total vote .for President in 1856 _in the St. Lodis district is put down at 13,000, of which Mr: Buchanan'receked 0ver_.5,500. The total vote DOW is nearly 18,000, of which Barret (Democrat) received 6,500, or less than 1.000 increase.. There. is still. an increase of over 4,000, which yote wag, polled for their own mad idute:l l If the increase is fraudulent, they must father o'verYour-fiftis of it. The' oppo sition vote of near-13%11,090 is- divided be tween Blair-..(Agitator) and Breckenridge (American). The latter of course represents tht, vote cast for Fillmore in 1856, so that-if there has been any ballot box stuffing it all belongs to Mr. Agitator - Blair's friv,ndi.

The usual Steps are'; the trlking of a . census to - ascertain the amount of .population, , the election by the people of a ' territory of a con vention to frame a constitution, and :the presentation of said coostittition to Congress. i -The - -subtuission of the' . cOnstitution to the 1 popular - vote for ratification or rejectien, ifs 1 a question of policy to be decided by those who have charge of the matter, and is not a - . , legal oljeetiou to . - adm:issio&—althougb- ' ' tle policy orsubu*sion is' prefgable, it beicig•caleulated to be more satisfactory, and less liable to abuse. uts recoinrneraled by our worthy President Buchanan, we trust that the mample of Niinnescta'svilt be followed in future. ' We find that the course of willful false hood pursued by the wire-pullers of the self styled "Republican" party has greatly misled the public-mind in relation to Kansas. They have unblushingly 'asserted—directly in the face of facts to the contrary—lhat a bribe was offered to the people of Kansas tosadopt Leco N mpton, and, in case they refused to .ac• ceps, certain penalties were to be inflicted upon them. All such assertions are utterly unfounded; and those who make them, if possessed of an ordinary degree of common sense, know it. It has been often repeated that a bribe in theshape otan enormous land grant, had been offered. This- is false, for the grant is; the usual one—the same that the organic act provides for. But we are told that in . case Kansas refused to come in now, she isiu be deprived of any land at all. Every man who says this,knOws better, or has been greatly deceived, as the organic act, under which . the territory ivil/ now remain until admitted, provides that this amount of land shalrbe given to her when she becomes a state. -1 0 f course it cannot be - given to her until that time. There is nothing in the English bill; which, by implication even, would' deprive her of her portion of _land, or defer er possession of it for a 'single hour. It is also urged that the English bill excludes the territory u_ntil aer population amounts to . 93,000. Such is snot the tenor of the bill. Its provisious are simply those'of the organic act, tibial of course does not provide for admission until see has that amount of popu lation. Congres.s may at any time waive that objection and admit any territory; Our cungressional acts do not possess the tytanni cal feature of Iledo-Persianistn--unchange ableness. Congress may admit Kansas , in six rnbtiths, or six years ; the period. of her admission should be decided upon so as to consult her best interests. If meddling politi cians had honesty enough to rely upon their legitimate merits for public &cora, Kansas would do well enough„ She only wants let ting' alone. Congressmen and Constables may be elected on her account, but no good can be aecom.plilhed. Let- the "Tribune" and others withdraw their hired falsifiers from the territory, leafing the people to at tend to their own affairs; and permit the, people of the States to obtain information from there as they usually do from other ter ritories,—throtrgh responsible sources, and Kansas may remain a tertitoly for a fqw years without deAritnent to her interests; or, if it be best for ber,, let her be admitted as soon - as the, requisite steps eau be taken. If her good, and that of the Union be consulted, the people will be content, and "bleeding"'and agitation will depart to, return no more.

But all this is now pat, and we du not an ticipate the slightest ddlis:ulty in the future. It, i, true certain newspapers of the scurrilous and sensation class, ate busy, in pet feet keep ing with their ideas of " popular sovereignty." in the work of framing another Constitution fur poor Kansas, before even the...official vote of the recent election is published. We neith- ei know nor care what the inhabitants of Kansas may now think proper to d 9, unless they skull again propose to violate -the' laws and to resist lilar obligation of alliance- to the tiocernment. The next Legislature „will Urea in January, and if the people of.4ausas desire to be speedily admitted. into the Un ion, they will, most probably, then initiate steps forilie framing of'a constitution which may be presented to the followingeongres of 059-60. At that time it is more than like ly that Kansas will possess_ a sufficient -popu lation, agreeably to .the provisions of the English Bill, requiring State adini.;sions here after to be on the .basis of. enough population for one Representative in the lower House of Congress. 11" hat this or thati.ternocrat may think as to the propriety of appl) i.ng this par ticular provision of the English bill to the case of Kansas,will amount to little more arm an abstraction.
