We quote the foregoing from the New York Times as on

morally certain this state of facts would show
that the election of delegates to frame constitution pro-

We have heretofore exposed the device by which Mr..
Cosmer sought in his minority report to justify the in
reference Of the Em rant Aid Societies in the regulation
Of the internal aud domestic affairs Of Kansas That de-
vice consisted in putting false construction upon the
Kansas law, and thereby assuming that it only

atos to use their influence and their money in sending

Mr. Colamers false construction Of the law and like him.

fence of their conduct volunteered for them by Mr. Cola

whether the North the South could first force into
the Territory sufficient body of emgrans to control its
domestic institutions. They insist now they have done
from the first that the abolition Aid Society gotten
up in violation Of the spirit OF the Kansas law and that
its object has been 10 defeat and nuly the plain proys

societies designed to deprive southern OF their
