COUNCIL CITY, March 31, 1855.

To his Excellency A. H. REEDER, Governor of Kansas Territory : We, the undersigned, citizens of the 7th election district, do hereby protest against the election of H. J. Stickler for councilman, and M. W. McGee for representative, for the following reasons, viz: We believe there was a sufficient number of voters from the State of Missouri, who elected the above named persons in opposition to the will of the legal voters of the district. Our reasons are, on the day before the election, about fifty wagon-loads, besides quite a number on horseback, came in and camped near the house of Mr. Titus, and soon after voting, they returned back the way they came. Besides, we heard quite a number acknowledge that they lived in Missouri, and did not intend to live in Kansas. There was but one of the original judges present, and one of those appointed by the remaining judge was a resident of Missouri, by his own acknowledgment, and from the best information we can get, and our asseveration is that the judges were not sworn in. Nor was an oath or affirmation required of any voter.
