| The enactment passd nv this infamous leg-

/ declares that one may vote who viii swear ale

! Such are the evidences Of citizenship such are
| the qualifications Of voters, such is the seifgov-
eminent which grows out Of the Fugitive Slave
law 81 1850, the Repeal Of the Missouri Com
promise, and the institution Of Squatter sove-
r.ignty
People did moi have TO swear allegiance to
the Fugitive Slave law or Kansas Nebraska
Bill III they had done 70, there would have
been less Illegal voting done in Leavcnwor,h. -
The dollar law is no. rightly understood, and
has never been explained 1t Is simply poll
tax, the sann tina, Is collected in most Of the
States, and any man who does not pay It, should
not be entitled TO n vote. Tho dollar was
to be paid on or before the election day 1T was
unfortunate that thr collection Of the tax was
mentioned IN connection with the law.
Here Is another lot Of lies
On the DAY Of election. the motley crowd OF
voters composed Of Missourians, recently arri.
we'd. Virginians, and drunken Indians were adj
dressed by i'ro-Slavcry speakers from the steps
of tia hotel in this place They were told that
slavery was right for Kansas. and that WBr
FIELD was the true representative Of Squaiter
Sovereignty They went and voted almost be-
fore the Missouri mud WAS dry upon their boots.
With rifles in their hand. knives in their belts
bottles in their pockets and wbiskey in their
bellies they swnggcrel around the polls drink
ing swearing aud shouting in dcvish glcc and
fen,lish oNullation over their fancied mastery.
NOr single Indian was scn in this city. on
the day Of the el-cton. No proslavcry sp'cch-
es were made. No rifles were een in the
hands Of any IL the citiDus They might have
had rcyoyers, or bowie knives in their pockets.
Can't say ms regards the whi~key---as it is
common article in this western country, they
might have had il.
