The whole country has heard, Sir, OF the section IN
the election law which allows inhabitants" to vote at
the general election without requiring them to have
resided in the Territory single day; and of the test
osths to sustain the Fustve.Slsve Ia v and the Me-
braska bill. which Intended to shut out all men
opposed to both from the bslotbox And will quote

visions with another:

The widest possible door Is opened for the invaders to

But turn to page 75O and notice the folio wing pro-
vision (section q cehning the qualifications of voters
at the petty CORPORATION elections of Lecompton:
"A white male citizens who have arrived 10 the u age
twenty and shall be entitled to vote for Ter
tora officers G.d tho shall hare resided ehis the city Hm'

Being al innaoit ant day clothes person with the
right t. vote for Delegate in Congress, and Represen
tatves in the Legislature; but to vOt9 at an insgn
cant election in comparison, six months residence is
required Am wrong in judging tha. this inverting
the usual rule shows that hssourans are wanted at
one election, but not the otherl If any deems
this opinion unjust let him study the following sec
tions Of the General Election Law, page 2sa:

will now invite your attention to contrast in the
pepal code of this Territory, singular in its character
10 cav the very least Section five OF the act punish
ing ofenses slave property, page Co., enacts

ptrson who, by Pro, Slavery packed jury, is con-
ycted Of aiding in persuadng out OF the Territory
slave belonging to another Is 10 sner az easI ~
serere penalty he who is convicted OF committing
the yiest outrage that the mind of man can conceive
of on the person OF your wife, sister, or oaughVer!
Nay the contrast is still stronger. The jury, IN the
first instance ere authorized to ntict the pun.
ishpeut of dea-n the latter, see page 2os the PEN

trast in Kansas between the protection OF wfes or
daughters honor or happiness, and that which u

Again, on page 2Os, you will fiud that the rutfian
who commits malicious mayhem-that is, without
provocatOn knocks you down on the street, cuts OIL
your nose and ears and plucks out your eyes-is pun.

the same degree Of punishment that Is meted out In
section of the above act, page COS, on person who
should aid or assist, or even harbor," an escaped

On page qO9 you will find that the man who sits at
your bedside, when you prostrated by disc ace,
and taking advantage of your confidence and help
lessness, administers poison to you; but, WHEREBY
death does not happen TO ensus, Is to be punished
