CELEBRATED SINGLE AND DOUBLE
~ ROW SEED PLANTER! Patented Sep
tember 1Ith, 1855, BY L. PIummer and J. r. ROl-
lins, practical farmers of Dearborn county, lndi-
ana.
The Subscriber believes that in presenting this
Corn Planter to the public, that he offers to them
the best article of the kind ever before intro
duced to their notice. The simplicity of its con-
struction. the perfection with which itperforms
its work and its little liability to get out of ORDER
together with the expedition and consequent
saving of labor effected in the use of it, all re-
commend it as being machine pre-eminently
adapted to the planting of Corn in the broad and
fertile prairies Of the West. Where ever exhib
tied, at the differentA gricutural Fairs through
out the Country it has never failed to obtain the
Premium over all competitors. 1t took the
LIST PREMIUM at the Ohio State Fair, at Co

The troops in Kansas have been order
ed By Mr.. Buchanan to the free State
towns and precincts They have purpose
ly been kept away from the Missouri bor-
der and from the localities where the frau
dulent voting is to be done by the Ruffians.
Our army is openly used to put down
Freedom and exalt Slavery.-Na1oich,

That was not true, and the Republican
journals prove it is not when they speak
of the soldiers voting al Kickapoo. The
troops were generally stationed along the
border where their services were demand
ed. Had the company at Lawrence been
posted al Oxford it would have been well,
but in that case the frauds would have
been committed elsewhere, so the resuli
would have been the same.

The quality Of the stock used in my plows is
not equalled By any establishment in the West,

Saturday Morning, October 81. 81.
No oauss-f for Faul..Finding.

One of the great complaints against the
Territorial election law, in the late cleo
ton, was, that it disfranchised foreigners
1t is~ell to inquire, what class of foreign
ers were disfranchiSed? By an examina-
ton of the law, we find that il was those
who were not naturalized-those who had
not been in the country FIVE years, and,
hence, could not take the oath of allegiance
The Kansas Nebraska Bill departed
from the uniform precedent of American
legislation-both State and Eational-in
this: that it allowed those who had de-
elared their intentions TO become citizens,
before legal authority, and had taken an
oath to support the Constitution of the
United States, and the Organic Act, to
vOte at the first election. AS regarded all
subsequent elections, the question was left
with the Territorial Legislature, which
.tolboaoed in the track of the Topeka Con-
stitution, and shut out all persons from
participating in our elections, but citizens
of the United States, and six months resi-
dents of the Territory.
The Territorial law and the Topeka
Constitution aretdentical in their provisions
in regard to the qualification of voters
citizenship of the United States, and a
iona fde residence of six months in the
Territory, being the only qualification re-
quired. The same provision exists in the
Topeka Constitution against soldiers vot-
ing, as is made perpetual during our Terri
torial existence, under the Organic Act
In fact, the identical language is employed
in the one case as in the other.
These remarks have been made in con-
sequence of the numerous letters we have
seen from the Kansas correspondents of
eastern news journals, and the lengthy
editorials of our eastern exchanges, and
the numberless speeches made in Kansas
against the hardships Of this Territorial
law.
The question with Us is: Would it not
be better to find fault with real grievances
that exist in Kansas, and with Kansas
legislation, than with imaginary evils,
which time will show, have no foundation:
We recollect reading many bitter arti-
cles. in 1854, against the law of Congress
which allowed foreigners to participate in
elections in Kansas, prior to their natural.
ization. Know Nothingism was then rails
ing its crest in the United States, and was
proposing residence of twenty-one year:
in the country before the foreigner should
be vested with the right of suffrage. Thi:
Kansas Nebraska Bill was pending in Con
gress at that time. Those who hated ths
Know Nothing party saw good time tC
makeathrustati it, and did SO byintroducins
the above feature. Mr.. CLAYTON, leading
Know Nothing Senator from Delaware
moved to strike out that clause, and W.
believe first succeeded, but it was finally
restored, and became the law, as we stated
before; in violation of all precedent. The
Territorial Legislature restored the old
practice, taking their cue, no doubt from
the Topeka Constitution. The friends o.
that Constitution have been very bite
and vindietive against that legislative &C
ton. because, we suppose, they plunGered
an idea from their bantling.
