Of the actual setties Of the Territory in favor Of
tbs Institution Of slavery. Much has been sid
about foIay Of M&souisns into the Territory
during the late elections for members Of the Legs
latuye. II Is true that a number of Aissourilns
did go there--bnt why2 Because cffsrts were made
to precpitase an ayslaocne af ab,litionists upon
the cout try, who, 1T anoSn were destitute, and
could not settle there permanently, in order to con-
troll the elections This va, the reason, and the
only ore. The Missouli,ns had a egal right to
vote in Karsss, utder the act OF Congress, and
they exercised it. Tina. they had this right was
the fault and the bunder Of the abolitionists in
Congress. Gen. Atcnison and other Southern
members were in iaver Of SECURING residence OF
twelve months as auaHiica sion to vote. Their
propositions were vo.sd down ny the abolisionisss
Their game was, through tho instrunentalty Of the
aid societies and the emigration societies, TO over
wheim Tho country with foreign felons and East
ern peuptrs and scoundreis. Having ha6n foiled IN
their scbemes, 1t Is Tot surprising that they gnash
their teeth so iuriously.
In reference to this election another fact should
be made kno~n 10 justification OF the pioneers Of
the boz der. il has Dstp ascestgr ed beyond doubt
that the day Of the e!ec on az places of voting
were made known TO tee sboiticn oi1 societies by
Governor Reeder thr. weeks bsioie the same facts
were made known 70 tat people OF the Territory.
Ought Il TO be pssinp hat after such pic Of
scoOndIelfm as this the PC pie OF the border be-
came highly excited! The iasriguc Was discovered
very late but the news was spIead on the wings OF
the wind, and men, women ard children were as
much txasperated as the soil had been suddenly
polluted BY the footstep of foreign invader.
Your readers will recollect that Governor Resder
assumed after the election to decide Who WAS and
who was NOT legally elected. This is the first s
pie In chr annals Of like assumption, and dlrec ed
again 81 him the Indignation of the whole commu-
nifty. In several If TIE districts he never heieAs
oioeied rev elections. In al Of them but one che
proslavety candidates we're reelected, and in that
one tn. would have teen, but the pro slavery men
refused to have any thing to do with the election.
The Legislature will meet ut PawDee, on the Re.
publican fork OF tie Kansas, the pa Q desi gnated
by Rseder, because he OWES nearly all the lots
these, on the FIST Monday in July. WHAT will they

Firstly, they will organize, recognize the validity
OF the first elections, and refuse seats to all elected
by virtue OF Reedel's second proclaim alton.

enact that there shall be property in slaves. Tney
will simply recognize the tact that there ia property

other personal pr tperty, and proceed to guard and
protect IL, even more scrupulously than has hereto

Thirdly, they wis pass an &C. to suppress scdi-
