Wasuinoton Crrr, Feb. 17, 1858. To the Edit: Union: Sim: I have already communicated to the Committee on Territories in the Senate, 2 full statement of facts connected with the applica- tion of Kansas for admission into the Union as a State. I need not repeat those facts in this paper, as they will doubtless reach the public in a few days. It iswith reluctance thatl refer to matters pertaining solely to the local politics of the Territory in which I live, and with which to some extent I have been connected ; but the various and contradictory statements that have been made by unscrupulous and irresponsible letter-writers to the public press, touching the discharge of my offictal duties as president of the constitutional convention, make the duty imperative. xcitement, conflict and great confusion must nesessari:y attend the organization of govern- ment for a community brought together from all parts of the world, and actuated by different objects, motives and prejudices. No Territory ever organized in the United States has suffered more frow causes of this character than Kansas The conflict about the moving f our institu- tions, so constantly directed by persons and parties outside of this Territory, has forced within its limits a elassof population, from every portion of the Union, most dissimilar in cbaracter, and with the strongest. predisposition tecollision. That disorder and confusion, the violation of individual and publie rights’and duties, should result from such causes, may be deplored, but could not be prevented. ‘Good men have sought the peaceful remedy to these controversies in the ballot-box. Bad men have been governed by no scruples as to publie or — action. In the periodical addresses put orth by the law-and-order or Democratic party of Kansas every foreign influence has been re- adiated, and every effort made to procure for ansas the quiet, peaceful settlement of all questions of public bag by the fair and hon- est expression of the popular will. To the fullest extent these recommendations have not probably prevailed with their own party riends, who, in opposition to a party knowing and respecting no law, may have been driven to the extremity of wrong and the violation of public right and duty. But itis not my ob- ject to go into a full examination of this sub- ject. y object now is to place gt aed right re the public on the subject of the election rns for members of the Legislature in enworth county, the statements in refer- to which have been so conflicting and con- ictory. . a the 13th of January, the day before I opened the returns of the Kansas elections for and under the constitution, I was called upon by several gentlemen from Lawrence, headed by Doctor or Governor Robinson, and asked if | would be governed, in determining the result of the election in Leavenworth county, by the sworn statement of one of the judges of elec- tion at the precinct known as the “ Delaware Crossing.’ [ replied, no: That I could not, and would not, go behind the election returns. It was then stated that the question was as to the legality of returns; and fraud wascharged, on what information I did not learn, upon the nd that the returns sent to me were not true returns as ap hg and signed by the judges of election. To give the full opportu- ity of submitting testimony as to the legality of the returns, I told the “gentlemen that, as the Legislature would have no duties to per- form until after the decision of the question of ion, there could be no necessity for the immediate issuance of certificates of election io that or any other cxse, and that the difficul- ty which they suggested could, in the mean time, be fully investigated. The statement I made the next day in the of the gentlemen who were present at the jing of the returns. I also authorized Gov. Denver to state that if the judges of elec- tion would furnish me, under a statement that the return made was false and fraudulent, I would treat such statement as a corrected re- turn, and be governed by it ia giving certifi- cates of election. I knew nothing of the Dela- ware Crossing returns, only that pablie rumor had given to the Democratic party a majority at that precinct of three or four hundred. I sup} the returns in that precinct were in my office, and was undeceived only when all the returns were opened and they were net found. These returns were of great import- ance, as they determined not only the political complexion of Leavenworth county, but of beth branches of the Legislature. As they stood at the opening of the returns, wi hout the Delaware Crossing vote, the Republicans had @ majority in Leavenworth county, and, consequently, a majority in both branches of the Legislature. In order to aszertaia the truth, I sent a mes- senger to that precinct to see the judges of election and learn the facts as to the charge of fraud in the return. Inthe mean time, the sealed retarns from that precinct were put into my banda by Mr. Diefendorf, one of the com- missioners for Leavenworth county, and on the same day that the messenger returned from Delaware Crossing precinct. I received the returns and the messenger’s report at Weston, Missouri,on the 2ist-day of January. The messenger brought to me the following sworn statements of the judges and clerks of the pre- einct in question : ttony oF Kansas, of Leavenworth The wadersigned, jud zes and clerks of theelec tion beld for State officers and members of the degisla’ure, Held at the precinct known as Agency, on the fourth day of January, do hereby certify that the returas of said election were correct and gen- at any statement made by any person je of maid precinct can only be deter- mined, as to its truth or falsity, by a reference to Sq@mtiretaras made by ux as managers and clerks em@baatd election at said precinct. erat” Isaac Monpay, Txxovors F.
