Thr Kanzas Policy of the Administra-
tions
AS we have before stated, the most conclusive
Arguments adduced ID support Of the doings of
the bogus convention. and the admission OF Kan.
1as into the Union, with the proposed constitu-
ton, without reference to the people, as Presi-
dent Buchanan proposes to be done, are given
By the Charleston Is. CD Mercury, the organ Of
the pro slavery extremists Of the South. These
sreeaters Of South Carolina. Georgia, Mississip
pi, &C. are the most difficult to be cheated, al
ways having their eyes open to their own darling
interests, in all their political movements, and
they are never found making those interests Sec
Dndary to any other question whatever. These
fre-eating slavery exteusionists are particularly
exultant at the course Of the Calhoun Conyen-
ton and say that if sustained by the administra-
ton ana BY Congress, it will make Kanzas a
slave State. The Mercury, their chief organ,
says;
The constitution is not submitted to the vote
of tue people. but only the article prohibiting
emancipation, and authorizing the ingress of
slaves from other States. If this article is re-
jected 1t does not abolish Slavery IN Kan=as but
the late elected Legislature being sxtingnished,
the new Legislature, for which provision is made,
may be under the control Of the pro.slavery party
and they may tegislate the rejected article into
la,c.
II the convention is omnipotent to form a con.
stitution, has it not also the power to carry it
into effect Z This is all they have done. 1t is
true these arrangements defeat the intervention
of Walker aud Stanton to give the control of the
Territory to the Black Republicans, and UiH e7'd
IA making hIszaS q SfdUe State"
Truly, does the Mercury state that the rejec-
tion Of the separate slavery article would mot
abolish slavery in Kanzas." On the contrary,
the same power which may compel submission to
the proposed constitution may force an estab-
lishment by the first Legislature chosen under
It's PROVISIONS of the rejected rticle into perms.
nent statute law.
We quote below, entire, another article from
subsequent issue Of the same journal quoted
from above, in which the reasons for the support
of the Infamous Lecompton swindle, are given
more at length, and with particular minuteness
Ii is proper to state that the following was writ
ten before the arrival of Governor Walker at
Washington, and before the articles in the
Union, defending the administration against the
recommendation of Gov. Walker, had reached
South Carolina. OF course, the lately assumed
position Of the Union will be entirely satisfactory
to the South CsrOlinians. Says the Mercury;
Kaszas Not Lost.-Our readers will see insert
ed in our columns today an article from the New
York Herald, on Kanzas affairs. The Herald but
echoes the voice Of the other Black Republican
presses, when it declares that Congress will re-
fuse admitting kanEas as State into the Union
with the constitution the late convention has
4
the Black Republicans ia kanzas will not vote
on the clause Of the constitution relative to
slavery, to be submitted for rejection or accept
ance By IKE people. The reason assigned for
their not voting is this Elf they vote at ALL they
sanction the work of the convention, and vote
practically for the constitution, which lRtifes the
previous laws with respect to slayery-whilst the
question whether slavery shall exist or continue
In the Territory is not touched. Il remains as an
existing ms utution, not in any way affected or
abolished This is true. As practical fact, the
question Of slavery or no slavery is not submitted
to the people. Hence all these organs are unan-
inous against the Black Republicans in the Ter
ritosy voting at all. 1t seems to be certain that
this wDbs their course, unless Walker comes
back ,sin into the Territory to give them the
assurance that he will, in some way, secure to
them the victory. And even if they do vote, we
are by no means sure that the pre-slavery party
will not prevail in the contest As matters now
stand, the decided probability is that uhe const-
tuition will De presented 10 Congress with the
pro-stayery guarantees it contains, and the ques-
tion must arise, shall Kanzas be admitted as
State with such constitution
The Washington Union talks placidy and ex-
ultingly Of the whole affair being finally settled
aud i lauds and mAgnifes the administration for
the wisdom, impartialiIy and success with which
is carried out and enforced, through its agents,
Walker and Stanton, on the just principles OF the
ksnsAs Nebraska Act. Really, II the editor OF

The irreconciable differences with respect to

South in this controversy but where viii be the

members of Congress who, in the late Presiden-
tial election, shouted on the hustings for "a Bu-
