BARTHOLOMEW LA PORTE, of Bradford Co'
- XASSAS.
Our cotemporary of tlio Republican has com
menced the publication of Judge Douglass'
Report. A report ought to contain a fair
statement of the facts respecting the matters
on which tho report is mad!. But such a state
ment is nowhere to be found in the report ot
'.fudge Douglass. It is in reality an elaborate
ly written speech, setting forth one pide, and
only one side of the case. Like many other
onc-3idcd"Srgumonts, it may appeal' plausible
enough till tho whole truth is told.' It object
seems to be to justify tho Border Ruffians who
invaded Kansas, and to form a kind of manual
or text-book for all the faithful followers of
Pierce, Douglass & Co. 1 "
The author of the report leaves altogether
out of view the most important facts that make
against him, misrepresents others, and dwells
largely upon such statements ns he believes
' can be turned to his advantage. Those lawless
Missourians who invaded Kansas in armed
bands, took possession of the ballot-boxes, and
undertook to elect a LegiWlature to make laws
for tho people of the Territory, endeavored to
justify their outrages by saying that the peo
ple of Massachusetts did wrong, They pre
tended to consider themselves as innocent as
laniDs. i -i-r u.q Touclass u.ies the
same logic and follows in the same track, lie'
may be considered their favorite champion. .
Hut what grave offence is it that these men
of Maasachuseltsbave committed ? Itamounts
simply to this, that some ol them those to em
igrate and settle in Kansas, and that somo of
the fiieud3 of the emigrants formed an Emi
grant Aid Society or company which artorded
facilities for emigrating and settling. "Will
any ono pretend that northern men had no
Tight to go to Kansas as settlers i Why, the
very fact of forming the territory was an invi
tation to all who chose to enter in and settle.
All who went in as settlers were doing what
they had a perfect right to do, and what the
las of the land invited them to do. Their
act wm praiseworthy and lawful; and those
who furnished them facilities for enii;r!ali!:;.
inertly :ivi.-.U'd them in '.' i::3 vvh.it whs per
fectly la.Mui and ri'.H.
We are told in th report of Mr. Douglass
that "immediate ste ps wore ta!;en by the peo
ple of the western counties of Missouri to stim
ulate, organi.'-e and carry into erl'.;et a system
of emigration similrr to tiiat of the J! assach li
st tts Eiuig.-aSt Xll ConYpaiy." There is then
an effort made to represent the conduct of the
Miasourlans to have b"en very much the sar-to
ns that of the emigrants from Massachusetts,
except that tho MUrmnrir.r.s were not near so
bad or worthy of bhmc ns those persons from
Mass'acl'aftt:.
Now are such rrpresoidalio'in just ? Arc
iher tm ' I. very c.;e vln kmnvs the cotirso
of affairs in Kansas knows them to hs ur.'.r'ic.
There wst in fact i !itiilarify between the
rondnct of the two p-irti.. The men (Vori fiv;
eastern .Slates pursued a sy.sicm of L'miri
tioai they vrert t Ka:i.sus ar, sr-tllcis, and
this they had a right to do. The tystcm j.ur
raed Ky ihe Missonrians was not a ty stein of
cargratum bat ol invasion ; they went to
Ilansas as invaders, and this tliey had no right
to do. Th'se who agisted in emigration from
Massachusetts a:id elsewhere were assisting in
a lawful act, but tbo;e who assisted in the ia
vjjik.n from Missouri were assittirg in what
n ss unlawful.
In Kansas thre were IS election districts.
On tho day of election (March CO, 1"5,) the
Missouiiar.s in armed and organized bands ap
peared in nearly every district, took posses
sion of the poiis, and, by riolohee, inliniids
tlon aiid superior force carried everything their
own way. After the election they returned a
gain to Missouri.
Every sensible man kno.vs th.tt such an elec
7;cn was a usurpation and a fraud. It would
lea fraud in any event, no matter whether the
charges against the eastern emigrauts were true
or false. Representatives thus elected were
not the Representatives of the people of Kan
sas but of the Missouri mob that elected them.
Jf such an electtou can be sustained and pro
nounced legal it makes Kansas a conqueied
province undr the control of men elected and
placed over her by a lawless mob from a neigh
boring State. ,
A portion of the Inhabitants of Kansas may
seem ready to acquiesce in tho outrage that
lias been perpetrated against their rights; some
few, because they are in league with the inva
ders, and others through feir of violence be
ing done them in case they should manifest
o.v opposition. Euta vast majority of the
PopIa chumthu rights of freemen n3 are an-
iimg to be thus subdued and trampled to the
And wh. that has the spiiit of a free
man, would tamely submit .to such high-handed
tyranny ? Those "who would, would bo fit
for slaves. ; '" ! j
- The facts connected with the election of the
BorderE uffian Legislature are briefly but clear
ly act forth in a statement presented to the
Commitfeo on Election by Ex-Governor Ree
der of Kansas. Let every one read it.' lb'
proceeds to state the facts which he stauds rea
dy to prove, as follows :
"That immediately. before the SOth day, f
March ISo-3, being tho day fixed for the Sec
tion of a Legislature for the Territory of Kan
sas, large bodies of men without prehensions
of j evidence, in UuiTerriXoj y, .came,&"cr.from
the neighboring counties of . the ('ate of Mis
souri, armed and. ; organized info companies,
witli their proper leaders and' supplied with
provisions, fodder, accommodations for camp
ing, ammunition, and in. one case at least, wiM
artillery That they inarched into( the Terri
tory with bauners and marshal inui'and en
camped in parties iu the vtcinitf of diflerent
election polls shortly before ' said election,
for the purpose of preventing the people of
Jlhe. Territory from ejecting Members' of the
legislative AsJbly .a3 provided by the Act
of Coiigres", of taking the power into their own
bands and by intimidation or' violoncc taking
possession of the polls,, and themselves going
through. the form of electing Members of the
Legislature; some of whom,, .thus elected,
were non-residents of the Territory.
. '-That the country having been recently set
tled, and the people as yet few and sparse and
comparatively unknow n to each other, unorga
nized, and unprovided .with resources ofany
kind, were of course compelled to submit.
'That in thoFir.t Election District there
were from six hundred to ono thousand of
these invaders on the. ground, who declared
that they came to vote and would vote at all
hazards of life and property, arid accordingly
did vote, outnumbering tho inhabitants, and
by their violent conduct detering them from
voting.
"That in the Second Election District a par
ty of several hundred of these persons, on be
ing refused leave to voto without testify ing to
their residence, made an-.effort to demolish
tho house in which the election was held, and
finally, by threats and violence, drove tlio
Judges fioni thegroiiudand substituted otherjs
from their own body, while tho actual residents
of the district generally retired to their homes
aud declined voting. ,
That iu tho Third Election District sever
al hundred of them took possession of the polls
with .similar manifestations of violence and
intimidation, substituted election officers from
among themselves and took the entire control
ihu .inhabitants ret i ring from
tho ground.
'In the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh
Election utsirieis, similar ooiues ol men ap
peared at the poiis with more or less of mili
tary organization, and more or less of intimi
dation and violence; iu each caso voting for
Members of the Legislature as though they re
sided in the Territory, and producing a result
different from that which would have happen
ed if the elections had lecn controlled by the
qualified voters of thu districts.
'That in the Sixteenth Election District the
election was controlled by a large number of
non-residents, some of whom had come in or
ganized and aimed a day or two before the o
lectiou, aud cs'-ablished themselves in camps
near t!v poiis, and who returned to their homes
in the State of Missouri immediately after the
election; and some of whom had come from
Platte County, Mo., by the steamboat in the
forenoon, voted, and returned hme by the
sarna boat in the evening. And thus over e
leven hundred votes were polled, of w hich not
ocr tiiree hundred were cast by acturl inhab
itants ef the Territory. In tho Thirteenth E
lertion District very few, if any, of the actual
.inhabitants participated, in conM'tiucuce cf tho
presence of a largo body cf stranger, w ho took
tho control ol tlio election and polled nearly
tho entire vote.
In the Eighteenth, (a small district of some
t.veiity or thirty voter?,) a well armed body of
strangers appeared on the election ground, to
the number of about sixty, who voted, and
immediately after took up their line ol march
out of the district, aud tow ard Missouri, their
leader being the Hon. David K. Atchison. In
the Eleventh, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Elec
tion Districts, the undersigned will endeavor
to prove, and believes he can prove, similar
illegal voting.
"On the day fixed for passing upon the re
turns ol these elections, to wit, the oth day of
April, complaints were made to the Governor
from some of the districts, setting forth these
facts, and there appeared to be defects in sonic
of the returns. Seven of the said districts
were set aside, and in the remaining cases the
returns being in form and no complaint being
made of illegal votes, as provided iu the Pro
clamation, certificates of election were granted
according to them. The facts in regard to the
uncontested districts have come to the know
ledge of the undersigned since that time, aud
he lias also learned that tlio reason why the
same were not contested w as, that the inhab
itants were prevented by intimidation and fear
of ifjnry to life or property from doing so, con
sidering it unsafe to assume the position of
contestants. One gentleman, who was active
in getting up a contest in the Sixteenth Dis
trict, and who made allidavit to the complaint,
was, after much denunciation,- forcibly seized
by a party of men, carried offinto tho Stale
Missouri, and there lynched w ith gross indig
nity and brutal violence.
'An cdection haviug been ordered for the
2d of May, lSa-j, to fill the vacancius ereated
by setting aside certain of the districts, per
sons were then elected, aud iu the Sixteenth
District, as your memorialist has since learn
ed, the election was again carried for tho same
candidates and by the. same means as it had
been on the 30h of March, but no complaint
w as then made. In tho other districts the ac
tual inhabitants were "unmolested, and elected
other Representatives, '"ho, as well athse of
J7ft their ccrtiS-

thc organic act, "although thc Legislature had
not the power usually conferred upon legisla

its ow n members."
Such is the system of the pissaiimna-Y. tic!i
Mr.! Doiiglass -cooly passes ijovce by fcti lajgMt
"n system of emigration." It is however
foundedon'force it is a systenf of subjligaT

Lkttkr from Ex-Phesidot Fillmoke. A
private letter written by ex-President Fillmore
in January, l&-5, to Isaac Xewton, of Philadel
phia, is published in the Xew s, of that city.
Mr. Fillmore states that he voted for Mr. Ull
man f or Governor of Xew York, and proceeds
to set forth w hat ho conceives to be the dan
ger of foreign influence. He deprecates the
elVect of the "foreign" vote of the country,
and regrets the largo number of foreigners in
oflico. As a general rule he thinks the coun
try should be governed by native-born Amer
icans. Xicaracc. Intelligence from San Juan has
be'eii received to thc'IGth April. Everything
is in confusion at Xicaragua. Parker II. French
lias left San Juan for Aspinwall, iu consequence
of a quarrel with Walker. The defeat of Col.

all I missing, lie has been Court Marshalled
on the charges of treason and cowardice.
Walker is reported at the head of an anny of
700 men and marching to meet the Costa Ri

lought between 11 Americans and 2o Costa
Ricans, in which the latter were defeated. .

She still hopes that some survivor of Sir John

ses to fit out a propeller at her own expense,
and give thc command to Dr. Kane.
The business men of Kansas are about es
