The object Of this defiance of the leading require
ment of their swn act by the Rufiians is perfectly
plain. Had fall census Of the inhabtsats ben
made, the omission of half the qualified Free-Shs
men from the voting lists would have been tos
harefaced. But, eOn6ning the census to voters
only in defiance Of the law, it will be easy to pre-
tend in any instance of omission that it was scc-
dental or undersigned
Hew the work has been done, may bs judged
from the following averments Of The Times:
Instead of reporting to the Probate Judge To
names of a" all the legal voters OF thecounty, ae has

whom we're among the first settlers of the Territory
and are now among the most prominent men OF tho
county. &. +. Cuuier, N. j. Parrott, Il. j. Adams
fsince chosen Mayor of Leavenworth BY large ma
jorityl, H.: Miles Moore f. Ross H.P Johnsse,
Jared Phillips and many Others who might be named,
are men well known to the officer who took the
Gus and have bona fide residence in this town. and
have lived here longer than one-hah Of the persons
whose names have been regbtered. We have befoU
us now the names Of hundred Free-State mea
of the county who have been ouitted-msn who sn
engaged in public business in the town. and men whs
among the most prosperous and influential Of hos
living in the county.
II might have been reasonably expected that tAs
officer taking the census would have known that hsre
were three printing offices in the town; but, strange
a may SEEM he utterly obvous Of the existenss
of any other than the two Pro-Slavery Offices Thes
he seems TO have visited as we see In the list tho
names of the gentlemen who conduct them. Bat
neither the name of the editor Of this paper, nor the
name of single cmploye Of the office, appears on Tho
list These omissions, il may he said, are uliniss
tienal; but we will entertain our opinion upon the
subject a. T.. .,.., IN
voters in this county when the fact is that there cen
not be less than 36O0 and close examination Of ~
list will show thai majority Of thoss Registered ore
Pro-Slavery Should an attempt be made to cor
rect the list before the Probate Court, man deubo
but that the relative number of Pro Slavery and Free
State men would remain about the same, notwiih-
standing the latter greatly outnumber the former
al: is to be hoped that these facts will be ssun.
cient answer to those who think FreeState should
vote at the June election. All who think they should
vote do not understand the situation of things here;
but few more such demonstrations this registering
