State to 55 Pro Slavery.
The Quirdsro correspondent of The CineinHati
Times says:
"Kckapoo s more radically Pro-SlaveIy than any
other in the Territory. About two hundred votes
registered there last Spring; and i Is possible
that there two hundred and fifty honest votes
in the precinct. The whole population of the town
cannot exceed 3O0 and that Of the adjoining county s
snail BIT befreen sr and serea huadred cofes ,cere
poIed there. Leavenworth, with population at least
eight ten times large Kckapoo, did not give ~
many votes The returTs from Kiekepoo show Pro
Slavery msjoIity Of fire hundred, and enable thst
party to carry Lesvenworh County BY one hundred
and ninety The fraud Is gross that is useless -
deny it, One citizen OF Parkville, Mo-, boasts thas
he voted there, ard knows twenty-five other Mis-
sourians who did So Many citizens Of Weston, No..

Kiekapoo, Governor Walker baving publicly stated
before hand that they bad right to do 90. Both the
Organic Act and the law under which the election Wa
held state explicitly that no soldier OF the Unitsd
States Army can obtain cltzenship in the Territory ~
reason Of being stationed here and this unpsreleied
proceeding Governor Walkers part can only be a.

slavery party. An but six of the soldiers voted that
ticket
