From the following it viii be seen.thas
our pro-slavery neighbors were quite in
earnest about efecfing a Governor IN this
Territory at the recent election. We are
not aware that any roses were actually
polled in any of the districts. What a
ludicrous farce. for men protesting to be
intelligent, to eomeoTer into Kansas from
Missouri, and not only elect the repre-
sentative, to our Legislative. Assembly,
but even attempt to elect Governor
Is this Territory under the protection Of
the United States Government ? or is all
law set at defiance, and must we be con-
trolled for the future by mob violence :?

at the coming election by voting for one
whom we deemed worthy of so high and
responsible trust.

welfare of his people, instead of attend

town lots and Kaw lands.

" by the anarchy, and confusion existing
in consequence of the election, deferred

people of the Territory, the propriety Of
opening poll at the coming election in
every district for Governor, aud while
we do not wish to come in conflict with
the constituted authorities Of the Z. S.,
We desire our action in the premises to
be considered as petition to the Presi-
dent to remove A. H. Reeder. and com
mission the man we may elect.

choice for Governor, and we earnestly
recommend him to the good people Of
the Territory, as man of as much abil.

tunate and neglected Territory, and hope
they will unite with US to bring about ;
result so much to be desired.
