Gov. Walker of Kansas, in official dispatches
Gently received, says that on one point he has been
groesly msIepresented namely, as desiring that every
man should vote who happened to be IN the Territory
on the day Of the election for the ratification Of the
Constitution. This, he remarks, would be desirable,
if there conclusive evidence that all such per-
" IONS were actual bona Fdc Settlers; but the only
sufficient and usual proof of such fact would be
some previous residence. On this point, which is one
of detail he had proposed to make suggestions
to the Convention although, when asked his OPINION
by members Of that body. he had lndi-
Gated previous residence of three or SIX
months, and that the same qualifications should
be adopted in the Constitution in regard not only
TO that but to all future elections. In bis )u1s,
ment, the other of these terms wiil DC auoPed
nv the Convention from whom he anticipates cordial
co0peration. 1T is somewhat extraordinary, he
add "that while this accusation of letting every man
"yote who may happen to be In the Territory on tue
ebay Of election has been preferred IN the South, as
Duplicating desire on my part TO let in abolition
"giants and interOpers to control the result the Re-
"pubcans of Kansas have drawn an entirely different
"cor cuson, viz: That designeCb in this manner 10
bring many thousand MissOuiians Into the Territory
st decide the contest"
