The Philadelphia Press, Col. Forney's new
paper. gives the following evidence that the game
OF making Kansas Slave State by fraud and
violence is to be pushed 10 an immediate consul
nation:
IMPORTANT DISPATCH FROM WASHINGTON.
Especial 'oy The P'cssl
WASHINGTON, Aug 2s--The prospect Of fair
election for Delegates to the September Convention
in Kansas increases.
The work Of the Convention will, it is said, be
quickly done. 1t will probably he submitted to
the people on the day that Legislature is elected
and the chances are that the Constitution will be
in Washington, with member Of Congress and
two Senators to back it, by the lst of December.
1t is supposed that the Constitution, like that of
New York and Pennsylvania, will be silent as to
Slavery.
This programme will prevent an attack on Coy.
Walkers nomination in the Senate. He can re-
sign, and may come a Senator from the new
State.
Rest assured, there is some hope that this plan
will be carried out. SOLITAIRE
The election for delegates to the September
Convention in Kansas" was had hro months ago,
and Pro- Slavery body returned by a total poll
OF less than fifteen hundred votes This cleo
ton was held under bogus Registry, which en-
cIuded the great bulk of the Free State men
from voting.
The Constitution has Of course been already
connected in some Pro- Slavery conclave, and
the Convention will merely 20 through the form
of adopting II. They doubtless know a good
deal more about its features in Washington than
in Kansas

No intelligent person can honestly dispute this.
Shall Constitution 50 framed by Conyen-
ton chosen by less than a lcnth OF the people,
and representing bnt one fourth OF the number,
he imposed on Kansas by Federal authority and
hayones? This is the precise issue now ten
dered. What say the Free States?
