REJECT BoTH.-The Detroit Free Press is
of the opinion that both the claimants to a
seat in Congress from Kansas, should be re-
jected--"W hitffeld because he is of the bas-
tard Territorial Legislature, and Reeder be-
cause his election was irregular; and that the
true policy is, to send the whole business
back to the people of Kansas, to be by them
determined at a legally constituted election
Ii adds that:
" Whatever course may be adopted, the
fact of the future of Kansas cannot be affect
ed. Her destiny as to the question of sla-
very is fixed. The lower house of Congress
cannot change it, or make any impression
uponit by its action in respect to the admis
sion or rejection Of Whitfield or Reedcr. L
is matter of minor alphabetically o
no practical importance at all, whether on,
or the other is admitted, or both rejected"

A Grievous National wickedness

When we consider how happy we are in
this counry, how abundantly supplied with
all the means and resources that contribute
to slistenance, how we'll taken care Of at home,
how respectable abroad, how fortunate in
our State and municipal governments, and
how united as one people by the Constitu-
ton which was formed by the patriots and
sagcs of better days; when We remember
these things, how we marvel at the great
wickedness of those vile fanatics and I'M
principled demagogues who disturb our
peace and menace our Union on account of
the negroes at the SOUTH Their iniquity is
great and crying. These incendiaries do not
complain of any burden imposed on them,
of any expressions by which they are crush
ed, but they complain that negroes, whom
their very ancestors brought here and sold to
Southern men, are held in servitude; ne
groes, who in the main, are contented with
their lot, and who abhor an Abolitionist as
they do an evil spirit
Ii these men who are seeking to break
down all our institutions, and dissolve our
Union, because of the bondage of the Afri-
can race, were actuated by humanity, there
would by some excuse for them. But hui
mainly has nothing to do with their move
ments. They maltreat and Cypress the free
negroes among them, and leave them to wal
low in the mire of degradation, to perish in
the pangs Of hunger. The very negroes that
they steal, and make heroes OF, are cast as ide
the moment they cease to be novelties.
When we camly contemplate the wanton
mischief that these men cause, the agitation
they get up the sectional antagonism they
cause, and the great perils that they menace
us with, we wonder at the great wickedness
of man. Surely if great crimes call for grea
punishments, their punishment, like that Of
Cain, will be more than they can bear May
the curse fall on them, and not on the coun
try Washington Sent

Kansas Constitutional Conventio IL.
The Kansas correspondent of the ST. Louis

Reporter of the Kansas Constitutional Con-
vention, writes that paper from Popeka on
the third day of the session as follows:
The Kansas question is 40 ugly one for
politicians. The National Democrats are shy
of it, and the Conservative Whigs-who
have not vet "fused"-are afraid to have too
much to do with it. The Republicans alone
can preft by its further discussion. They
hope to carry Mr.. Seward to the White
House via Kansas and the border counties of
Missouri. But they will be doomed to dis
appointment, unless am greatly deceived
in the character Of this Convention The
people of Kansas intend to take an active
part in the next Presidential campaign in
stead Of being kept in asuspended territorial
condition for the advantage OF Eastern poll
ticians. Perhaps De Of Kansas may furnish
the merit President to the United States. But
certainly we will engage in the campaign, or
when we arc admitted, be emphatically
"down'' on any party that presumes to ex-
clude us. "There is a Westp' will be shout

We will apply for admission as a State

1t is probable that clause will be inserted
in the Constitution, which this Convention
has been summoned to create, declaring thai

EQUALITY OF THE STATEs.-It has been
adjudged by lopg series of decisions Of the
Supreme Court that the United States never
held any municipal sovereignty, jurisdiction
or right of soil in the territory of which any
of the new states are formed, except for
temporary purposes, namely: to execute the
trusts created by deeds Of cession of Virginia,
Massachusetts,, Georgia, and other states in
the original common territory of the Union,
or the treaties with Franco, Spain and the
Mexican republic, in the territories Of Loui-
sialia, the Floridas, New Mexico and Cali
fOrnia.
2 lthas been adjudged BY the same series Of
decisions that the provisions of the ordinance
for the organization of the northwest terrific
~ were extinguished by the constitutions; or,
If any of them retain continuing validity, 1t Is
only SO far rs they may have authority derl-
we'd from some other source, either the COM

4. In obedience to the same principle, and
proceeding in the same line of adjudications,
It must have been held, if the question had

hrThe New Haven Renister savs:

Let the Democracy in all the non-slave-
holding States, learn valuable lesson from
the result in Ohio. The only guarantee of
success, is in graphing boldly and firmly with
Abolition and all the mischievous dog
mas OF the day. They must fight openly
and manfully for the Constitution and for
equal rights to all sections, and they will
thus secure glorious victory, full of bless
ings TO the confederacy. Better be defeated
in fighting for the truth, than to secure q
fleeting and valueless victory, by temporizine
and trucking to the powers of evil.
