PROCLAMATION
70 THE PEOPLE OF KANSAS TERRITORY

TO THE PEOPLE OF KANSAS TERRITORY.
Information having reached me from
various quarters that serious difficulties
were to be sppseheaded on the first Mon
day OF January next-the day fixed for
electing State officers under the Conssitu.
ton submitted to the people on the 21st
inst. and which Constitution Is also sub
United to vote Of the people on the 4th
prox., by an act of the Legislature, sp-
proved December IL, 1857; I have DEEM
ed it my duty to distribute the United
States Troops over the Territory ia such
Q way as to preserve order aad ensure to
every one entitled fair opportunity of
voting. It is sincerely to be hoped that
these precautionary measures will be found
unnecessary, and that the good sense and
moderation of the great mass of the peo-
pie will restrain the violence and heat of
the few whose passions are likely to carry
them to extremes.
The Constitution referred to, provides
that the questions therein submitted are
left to the decision of call the white male
inhabitants of the Territory of Kansas, in
the said Territory upon that day, and
over the age of twenty-one years." The
term irlGJitant is thus defined by Web
ster: ga dweller; one who dwells or re-
sides permanently in place, or vino has
a fixed residence, as distinguished FINN
an occasional lodger or visitor; IS the tn
habitant of house or cottage; the inhab-
itaAts of town, city, county or State
One who has q legal settlement in q town,
city, or parish" To inhatit Is ITO live or
dwell in; to occupy place of settled
residence"
From these definitions it viii be seen
that it requires something more than Q
mere presence in the Territory to eLtisle
person to vote at the coming elections.
and trust that no attempt viii be made
to do so by any person from another state
or territory who may be here on that day
merely "a q transient "or occasional
ledger, or visitor.'' An act passed at the
late session of the Legislature of this Ter
ritory, makes it felony for any one to do
so and in every such case 1 shall feel it
to my duty under the laws to demand
such offender Should he leave this Terri
tory from the Executive of the State or
Territory in which he may be found,
that he may be brought back for punish
ment.
It Is the anxious desire of the Presi-
dent that the approaching elections shall
be fairly held, and that every one shall
have fres access TO the polls without being
subjected TO violence or intimidation
The troops placed by him under nay d.
rsction have been 50 disposed of as 10
insure this result, and every civil officer
and every good citizen in the Territoryis
70 do his duty, and assist in
the peace Of the community.
With their assistance there can be no Sc
rious disturbance.
