A Fat Job.

One of the fattest jobs by which partizan
services are purchased is the government
printing at Washington. To show the esti-
mate placed on it by those who know its
value, We quote the following proposition
from the Washington States, an administra-
ton paper
&c We are satisfied, in fact, we viii guaran-
tee, that in two weeks time, we can place
the necessary materials and machinery in
Washington to do all the printing required
by the government; besides, we are author
lied to state that responsible parties win
undertake to make a contract with Congress
it viii order the usual amount of
printing done that has been executed for
The Kanzas news., 1858-01-02

some years by the printer elected to Con-
gress, and at corresponding rates-to erect
the necessary buildings, machinery, and ma
teriais to do all the printing required by the
next Congress, and, on the day the printing
ordered by said Congress is completed, to
transfer said buildings, machinery and ma
terials to the government free of cost. Sc
curity viii be given that the contract viii be
faithfully complied with. Here is an oppor-
tunity to secure a complete government
printing Office on very reasonable terms. ;"

Proclamation to the People of Kanzas
Territory.
LEAyESwoRTH. K. t.
Dec. 26, 1857.

Information having reached me from va
rious quarters that serious difficulties were
to be apprehended on the first Monday of
January next-the day fixed for eleciing
State officers under the Constitution SUBJ
mitted to the people on the 91st inst, and
which Constitution is also submitted to a
vote of the people on the 4th prox., by an
act of the Legislature, approved Dec. II,
1857; 1 have deemed it my duty to distrib-
ute the United States Troops over the Ter
ritory in such way as to preserve order
and ensure to every one entitled fair op-
portuniay of voting. 1t 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 people viii restrain the violence
and heat of the few whose passions are like
ly 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 Kanzas, in
the said Territory upon that day, and over
the age of tWenty-one years" The term
inha5itant is thus defined by Webster: ''a
dweller one who dWells or resides perma-
nently in a place, or who has fixed resi-
dence, as distinguished from an occasional
lodger or visitor; as the inAa6itant of a
house or cottage the inhabitants of town,
city, county or State. One who has le-
gal settlement in a town, city, or parish. %
To inha5it is ''to live or dwell in to occu-
py place of settled residence"
From these definitions it will be seen that
it requires something more than mere
presence in the Territory to entitle person
to vote at the coming elections, and l 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 as a
transient 'for occasional lodger, or visitor. -
An act passed at the late session of the
Legislature of this Territory, makes it fel-
ony for any one to do so, and in every such
case shall feel it to be my duty under the
laws to demand such offender (should he
leave this Territory from the Executive
of the State or Territory in which he may
be found, that he may be brought back for
punishment.
1t is the anxious desire of the President
that the approaching elections shall be fair
ly held, and that every one shall have free
access to the polls without being subjected
to violence or intimidation. The troops
placed ty him under my direction, have
been so disposed of as to insure this result.
and every civil officer, and every good citi-
zen in the Territory is expected to do his
duty, and assist in maintaining the peace of
the community With their assistance
there can be no serious disturbance.

Secretary and Acting Governor.

The soiree at the Emporia House on New
Years Eve, passed off to the entire salts
faction of all concerned. After partaking
at an early hour of an excellent supper, the
room was cleared, and the 'young folks -
spent few hours in tripping the light fan
tastic toe." The party adjourned at sea-
sOnable hour all highly pleased with the re-
suit of their social gathering. The mana
gers deserve credit for the manner in which
the affair was conducted, and we are prepar-
ed to say that the hostess +" of the Empo-
ma House is hard to beat in the way of get
ting up good supper. We make the asser-
ton without fear of contradiction that NO
town in Kanzas can go ahead of Emporia

Breckenridge County ali Right!

Pursuant to notice quite large number OF

put forth by nine boilers from the Law.
renee Free State Delegate Convention, as
sisted by few National Democrats and Pro
slavery men. The meeting was organized
by the appointment of N. s. Storrs as Chair
man, and J. V. Randolph Secretary. On
motion, Messrs. L. D. Bailey, CIV. Eskridge,
and E. P. Bancroft, were appointed
committee on resolutions. While the COM
mittee was out Judge Schuyler, the candi-
date for Secretary of State, being present,
was called for and addressed the meeting
We did not hear the Judges speech, but
it was said to be weak effort. The COM
mittee reported strong resolutions against
voting for State officers. Mr.. Eskridge
dissented and brought in a minority report,
but the majority report was adopted with
but little opposition. The following is one
of the committees resolutions, and is to
the point:
Resoiyed, That we disapprove of and ut
terly repudiate the action of the nine deIe-
qqtes who withdrew from the regular con-
vention. and associated themselves with Pro-
slavery men and others for the nomination
of a State ticket.
1t will thus be seen that Breckenridge re-
pudiates this bogus movement. Where are
all 1.-The leading men" from this county who
assured G. W. Brown that the people here
'were in favor of voting for the ''subter-
ranean" State ticket?
Come up, Freemen. on Monday next, and
deposit your votes 'tagainst the Constitu7
ton framed at Lecompton," and you will
then have done your duty.

tied that his title is not affected, but is un-
impaired on his return to State where
slavery is recognized by its laws. This
conclusion is legitimate and necessary
deduction from the fact that the Constitu-
ton of the United States recognizes and
guarantees the title to property in slaves. "
