KANSAS CONSTITUTIONAL CoNvENrIoN.-The
Free State Convention. in this last battle ground
for Freedom has at last completed its work, and
adjourned. As intimated in our last, it provides
for the ratification of the new Constitution on
the 18th, together with the question of admit
ting or excluding colored men from the State.
This is strange question for Free Soil men to
raise, and if the question is decided for exclu-
ding this injured race not only from the privilege,
of freemsn, but even residence in the State. i,
will be blot on their institutions which the
anti,Slavery men of the North had no reason to
expect, and which cannot but greatly qualify
their confidence in the the true anti-slavery
principles of the people of the new State.
The effort to keep the Slavery question open
for future decision failed. The bill of rights
excluding Slavery from the State, is to take ef
feet on the 4th OF July, 1856. This Constitu
ton therefore, if ratified as it will be, if there
is not another Eruption of the Missouri rufians,
will be presented before the close of the year for
for the action of a Congress which promises to
involve the interests Of Freedom more deeply than
any Congress since 1920. We almost tremble
for the results.

The PRo-SLAvERY STRUGGLE on the Kansas
and Missouri borders is still going on in oil its
mad recklessness The citizens Of Parksville,
getting ashamed of the mob outrages that led
to the destruction of the Luminary, and expul-
sion of its editor, Parks have invited him back,
and pledged themselves to protect him. But
the Atchison mob have come on to lynch him a
second time, but are rs yet kept at bay by
Parks friends. How the affair is to terminate
no one can yet tell, McCrea, in the meanwhile
has been indicted for murder by bought-uE
jury, and though guilty only of staying his ruff
fan opponent in sef.defense, is in danger Of be-
ing hung.
The new State Convention of the Free Soileri
have also reused up the Missouri borderere te
hold great, Mass Meeting, at which Shannon
that official tool of the Black Power, had thu
taste and principle to preside and declare thai
he would enforce the laws of the bogus legisla
ture and that he should have the whole power
of the Administration to back him. Thus the
conflict thickens: for if the laws are attempted
to be enforced, it will be signal for civil war
