NOW AND THEN.

The gross inconsistency Of the Wash
ington Unien cannot have escaped the
notice Of the readers of that journal. In
its defence OF the Lccompton fraud, it is
forced to take grounds, directly opposed
to those held by the same paper. not six
months since. In the Washington Union
of the 7th Of July, after the election OF
delegates to the Kansas Constitutional
Convention, and when the legality ofthat
body was as binding as it is now, we
find the following declaration:
There can be no such thing as ascertain
ing clearly and without doubt, the will of the
peoIl e OF Kansas in any way, except by their
own direct expression of IL at the polls. II
Otnstituti0n MT subjected 10 that test, no mat
ter t0hat 10 contains sciH nerer be aekn0ictedg-
ed By itsOpponsnts to Be anything bit atraud.''
The Union little thought into what
gross inconsistencies the defence OF such
fraudulent action would lead it. The
editor was right y hen he said that a con-
stitutiUn so framed and not submitted
would be called by its opponents fraud
Since that time. after .reful perusal o
the annual message, the Union is con
verted to the Southern view Of the mat
ter. and now contends that the constitu
tional convention had absolute power Il
frame a form OF government Independent
OF the majority and that Congress il
bound to receive Kansas as State will
that constitution. Says late copy O
the Union:
s'We are simply contending that constitu
tons framed b. representa-, conventions
delegated by the people for the purpose. ar
valid and binding in principle aud OF right
though these conventions IN their discretion
decide not TO submit them. And we thin
we see in the case OF Kansas peculiar, il NJ
contro.ing, reasons which seemed to enforC
such u decision by the Lecompton CONVEX
ton"
We do not intend to inquire into th
"peculiar reasons" which have worke
so marvellous Grange in the views

trespass upon the patience of our reat
ers by entering upon any formal discu
