The Kansas Contested Election.

The contested election between Messrs Reeder
and Whitfield, will no doubt be seized upon by
uluaists at both ends Of the Union, as afford
ing the best opportunity for assault crimina-
ton, recrimnation and strife, in relation to the
Kansas controversy. We hope the Conserva-
tives in Congress win prevent or arrest any
attempt to create such sectional agitation and
we doubt not they can succeed If they make
the effort in good faith and with firm resolve.
II has occurred to us, and we have suggested
it TO several prominent members North and
South, (who approve our suggestions,) that
the first thing TO be done after the organization
Of the House should be, to pass law regula.
ting elections and the exercise of suffrage in
the Territories Of the United States substan-
tally as follows, viz:
First, providing that no person shall vote at
any election to be held in any ofthe Territories,
unless he be citizen Of the United States, ma
tive born, or naturalized according to the laws
Of Congress; and, second, that no such citizen
shall thus exercise the right Of suffrage in any
Territory, unless he has been continual resi-
dent Of the Territory where he offers his vote,
for the entire term ofsix months next preced-
ing the day Of election-and, third, subiecting
any party violating this law to proper penalty.
Such law having been enacted, If IL be
found that fraud or irregularity was committed
in both the elections OF Delegate from Kansas,
as has been alleged, let the parties be sent back,
and new election ordered, to be held under
the laws, as thus amended by Congress.
Whoever might be duly elected under the
provisions Of such law, by the bona fide
residents Of any Territory, il such person were
eligible to the post, would doubtless be admit
ted to his seat without difficulty or hesitation.
The law would be just, fair, and proper in IL
self and this mode of putting an end to an
exciting sectional controversy, it seems to us,
could be liable to no serious objection
We have not stopped to inquire what would
be the ultimate effect Of the adoption Of this
mode Of adjusting the present difficulty upon
the destinies Of Kansas-whether it would
make her a free or a slave State--it is enough
for us to know, Tor at least to believe) that un-
der the provisions Of such law the aoiH Of
the true and bona fide citizens of Kansas would
prevail in the choice Of delegate to Congress-
We throw out these suggestions in the hope
that they may at least contribute to the devel.
opment of some plan by which the disastrous
consequences Of sectional strife may be avoided
