The Republicans in Congress are now urged to
unite with their opponents IN fixing day for
Constitutional Election in Kansas, By which cleo
ton the question Of Freedom or Slavery therein is
TO be Definitely settled. We trus. they vii con-
tider long and deeply before they ac,ede to any
such proposition. For our own part we cannot
agree - any arrangement which puts Freedom for
Kansas at risk; for we will not be concluded by
an sd,erse decision. We hold Kansas a part of
&c I
the pht Of sny FIVE thousand men to vote away
!. pstIinOry Of five millions. If By any means
f. /. admitted as Slave State, we shau continue
.l- efforts 70 reverse that decision and make it a
F.e. S ate. Those who hold with US canuot HON
o.. 1ly enter into any arrangement, compromise,
constituent bargain, which involyestae contingency
oi 's becoming Slave State.
And, for once, delay is clearly the policy OF the
right Kansas has nOw Safe Constitution,
framed bya Convention Of her People, and unexcep-
tonable in all but its difalOwance OF Slavery. It
was adopted and ratified by large majority Of the
actual settlers Of Kansas; is sill approved by such
majority. fit be really intended to admit Kansas
as Free State, this COnstitui on will answer every
purpose. If Congress is truly in doubt as to the
acceptance Of thai Constitution by the People OF
Kansas lot it be resubmtied, under /, best safe
guards against illegal voting that can be devised,
and let il stand or fall by the popular decision.
We feel sure that the Free State men will not hest
tate TO vote; aud if msiori'y sbal! fairly decide
against it, It VIII then be time TO call another Con
yention to frame fresh Constitution. Bat, before
incuIriDg this expense and trouble, LEI us first
determine whether the Peop'e OF Kansas are not
satisfie1 with their present state Cons itdon and
anxious that Congress should recognize aud ratfy
it. If they are, what excuse can be devised for
c,ncCo citing another
IL the new Administration treats Kansas fairly,
she will have Thirty Thousand Free-Sta.e imni-
grants dur ng the year 1857, while We do not be-
eye Ten thousand Pro-SIaveTy men will make
thciI way thi,her. And the larger her real popua-
ton, the less will be the proportona'e weight of
the Border RufiaDs who may be sent in t, corrupt
her ballot-boxes. Five Thousand Illegal votes in
Nebraska would swamp that Of all the actual resi-
dents; while in Minnesota they would be barely
make weight If tho devotion OF Kansas to Free
or to Slave Labor is to depend OF the result. of
future election therein il will be far safer TO try
the issue with pOps'a ion like that of Minnesota
than onc scarcely exceeding that Of Nebraska. Let
us throw away no advantage, neglect no sateg lard,
but be faithful and yigilant to the last.
