"pot true that Slavery exists IN Ksu.as. that II -
OIL, true that "theTe are feg slaves IN tost part
"of Kar.as that borders on Missouri" ls L.

regard. ard the Federal Government uPhoIds as
law. Who can ignore this distinction
a "Public Opinion 10 Kansas called into ex-
istence tie Free.State Constitution, as the only
available sheld against usurpation aud tyranny;
but the Federal Government the National Democ-
racy and The EIprtss 5eLOuUced and d7rided that
mov. ment a. apsrchcal if not REASONABLE. :" Pdo.

LaHrence: but Walker denounced it as an act OF
rebellion end launched bis Federal dragoona AGAINST
il. TIE E1p1ess standing by and consenting Like
Saul at the stoDiug Of Stephen. And thus in every
way is "Public Opinion in Kansas subyerted and
suppressed.
3 IRE "rree state People" Of Kansas were
"inyited TO vote by the Federal authority at the
election Of March, 1856 but the Border Rutfans
came over from Missouri in armed bands, amount
ing to thousands, took possession Of the polls aud
elected PrO.Slavery Legislature. They were
next "inyited to vote" at the Territorial Election
Of October, 1856 but meantime the bogus Legis-
lature chosen By the Missouri invasion. had enact
ed that none should vote who would not swear
feslty to the Kansas Nebraska act aud the Fu tiye
Slave Law, ard pay tax to the usurping a1thori-
ties. They we're next "iu7ited to vote at the
late Constitutional Election, but none were allowed
TO co so unless their names could be found on
Registry made up wholly by the Pfo-Slavery usurp
err, from which the names Of two-thirds of the
Free State men 10 the Territory were excluded.
Now they are "iIvited 10 vote again; but an in
fomous AppoItonment bias been made out by bogus
authority, with Walkers cOlnivauce, which com
plete, smothers the Free Sta strength then none
are 10 vote who have not been SIX months in the
Territory; and finally Federal Judge Cato publishes
bis opinion that no One can rOte cho has not paid
Tar TO the bogus authorities This dsfraocbses the
whole Free. State party at blow. Yet The Express
says, "The Federal authority invites, coaxes aud
"impiores the Free-State people to vote" How
can the stifl-necked wre tches refuse?
6 There is no talk Of three months residence
as prer quisi'e to voting. 1t 10 a sir months
residence which is to be exscted-whch is in effect
a disfanchisemeut Of more than half the bona f.
Inhabitants Of Karsas and nearly twOthird of the
Free State men. And for what The Express
81 ard otter States" Can It point TO an instance
wherein newly settled and organized State ever
exacted a six months residence prior to voting
the acceptance or rejection of its fret Constitution,
especially when that exocticn would disfrauchise
mejoIity Of its People Does not The Express
Anow that the ordinary practice has been to admit
all bona fde residents to vote 10 such cases. Does
if not know that the only reason for departing from
that usage now is found in the necessities Of
Slavery?
