4 Senator Douglas was in error as to Wisconsin, for the organic act of 1836 for the government of that territory restricted the right to vote to citizens of the United States. Apparently, however, this restriction did not commend itself to the people of the territory for in the first constitution of the state the right of suffrage was extended to aliens who had declared their intention of becoming citizens of the United States. — J.
