It is now pretty much settled that the Democrats of Kansas are to vote, unite with the conservative, anti-nigger free-soilers, and kill the Leavenworth bastard on the 18th instant. I consider it good policy, and the prospect is, that the thing will be overwhelmingly defeated, as it ought to be. There is almost as much excitement on this topic, as there used to be on Lecompton. It shows that there are some people in Kansas who, if they lost their senses once, have found and got them back again.—Cor. St. Louis Rep.
