After the expert nee we bav- had OF thu hansas'

Sovereignty " bich il the basis OF that bll-after
the recent oil introduced by Mr. Dougla., the de-

After all the fer threats tered in the Senate

of Gov r. biDson aud other Frsc-Staoe men upOn
bogus charges N high trcss"n-sfter all this, We
sho. ID be- shallow indeed if We did not r. gard with
susp cion proposition emanating f,om Sir. Doug
los t. furprh Kabsas on opportunity Of coming into
TIE Union, il she chooses, as Free Sate.
II may be SGT down as Ger ain that it IL no good
will tow ard the Free STATE men, or disposition to
GO them right or jusrce, or Willingness to live
Freedom fair play sbd fair oh ,nce. that induces
DsreIas to taie this step. Mr.. Douglass scheues
do not always succeed He Was little dissp-
pointed in the workings OF squatter sovereignty.
The EmiQrint AID Societies were result Of too
ls.ipg down Of tina, principle which he id not
for,ste; aid bis subsequent attempt TO patch out
or rshcr to Overlsy aqua'rcr sovereignty by Border
Rvffiapism has been attended by certain other re-
suits upon which Dir. Douglas does not appear to
have calculated, and b, which he is evidently much
aino cd He my be disappointed too in his pres
ept sch NEE, even if, with ihs aid Of the Fillmore
TRAITORS, be should succeed in cheating it through
boh Houses; but It cabot be- doubted that Me-
Douglas expects from bill the speedy formation
Of u slayeboldipg Ccn.tit .ton for Kansas.
And We pust ray that the bill is well conceived
fr that purpose, and that If it can be- carried this
would sem to be very plau IDLE expectation.
The bill pro, ides thar the right of voting is 70 be
confined 10 the present. inhabitants of Kansas. TO
be sscerta;ned by census AID enumeration in
which Do perfon is to be included WOO was no.
Ill nhabitsn Of the T, rritory for three mouths pre-
vouse ~ the day Of eli clion, which day is to be
the sane with that OF the Presidential election.
There can BIZ no doubt that 40 far as the FreeS9te
MEL concerned, these provisions will be rgldy
enforced. a. just as little doubt there be that
KaDsos has Dever bsd aid Is not while it remains
in Territorial condition ever again likely 70 have
go email proportion o. Free-State inhabitants ss
now. TIE lime, Of all others, selected BY Mr.
Douglss f r taking his proposed census of actual
inhabitants is inst after b. rider. Rufsn Invasion
countensn,ed and encouraged if not in,ugurs ed BY
hms.lf-perhsps win view to this very Use oft
has been directed with The mos. fcrocious violence
attended with murders, plupderiugs and burnings
again st the Prostate meD, and BY which no ANAL
proportion OF them have been driven out OF the
Territory. To refer the future fate Of the Terri
tory to what is left of resident population after
sueh foray against the Free State settlers and
wtile oil the ac'ive men n, them have indict-
ments hanging over their heads and their chiefs are
npri,op, tn bogus charge of treason woal be to
give to the late Border-Ruffan invaders who
saci I'd Lawrence the full benefit Of al their ont
RACES, which, indeed, We take 10 be leading OBJ
ject OF The bill.
All This supposes that the apparent provisions OF
the bill are athfuly carried ont, and that nobody
but sctua settlers, nov in the Territory, are in
serted ID the li.t of voters That list, however is
to BE- made out by Commissioners appointed BY
President Pierce; aid taking into accoun: the
character Of the men to whom be ihtrusts the gov
