Ing memorial from Mr. Recder wsae pre-
eentcd in the House OF Representatives ON
Thursday and referred to the co nni,tec Oh
elections:
To the Honorable The House Of Representatives.
Of ihe United &aiss.
1.-THE memorial OF the undersigned, in
behalf Of the qualified voters, uf the Ter.
riIory ol-Kansas. and his capacity OF repre-
sentative of said voters, as hereinafter stat.
ed, respectfully represents: That he claims
to be entitled TO represent the said Ter
ritory In The Thrty-t9urth Congress as
Congressional Delegate, to the exclusion
and in lieu of Hon. J. w. Whitfield, the
of facts: Ths said J. w. Whitfield, rs
your memorialist is informed, claims TO have
been elected at u pretended election held
on the first day of October last in said
| Territory, which said pretended election
your r'emofalist contends aud proposes to
show was absolutely void, being without
any valid law or the will of the people or
qualified voters to authorize or support il.
: "Tbat the law under which said pretend
ed election was held emanated from a leg
islative Assembly which the people and
qualified voters OF said Territory protest
and declare, through your memoralist,
were not elected by them, but imposed
upon them by the force Of superior non-
esdents, who could pass no law that would
be binding on them, and whose election
and action should not be sanctioned or re-
cognized by this House, because they are
utterly inconsistent with the idea of repuo-
can government and destructive of the
plainest and most undeniable civil and po-
itcal rights.
"Tha, the said supposed election law was
entirely nugat"ry and OF no effect, because
passed at an illegal and unauthorized place
where no valid legislation could be had,
and was void in itself and on its face as
containing provisions directly and materially
violatve of the act OF Congress to organize
the said Territory.
"That said pretended election was not
conducted even according to the forms and
mode prescribed by the supposed law which
purported TO authorize it
"That many hundreds Of illegal votes
were. .poled at said pretended election by nom
residents end others,
"And your memorialist excuses himself
for the want OF specifications unaer the
two objections last above stated, by reason
that he has been unable TO obtain from
the Executive Off OF said Territory the
necessary information, or any copies of the
returns Of said election; that, after several
applications to the Secretary Of the Terri
Tory for certified copies OF papers in his
office had been neglected and efIOcs, Forks
