The Kansas Constitution.

The Constitutional Convention has AL.
jouned A Constitution for the State Of
Kansas has been framed, but is not 10 be
submitted, as an entiroty, for the spprov-
al Of the People. The only question sub
mittel is whether the peculiar institu-
ton" shall be perpetuated or not-the
present right Of slave property to be re-
cognized in any event The people are
not to have the power to change the Con-
stitution until future period-and never
so as to impair the right of property in
slaves as now existing.
/ This last clause is so reasonable and so
customary in all Constitutions-merely
recognizing and protecting existing and
vested rights-that it would seem strange
it should meet with any opposition. Yet,
we preceive that this proviso. as well as
the perpetual clause, is receiving the
most violent hostility.
AS for ourSelves-as citizens Of slave
State, and opposed to the agitation of
that "speciferous question" here, we
should have preferred similar institutions
for our neighboring Territory; but we
say frankly, we are not, and have never
been in favor of forcing that, or any other
institution on them, against their sover-
eign will. We go further. The late
election. which appears to have been as
fair as the nature Of the case would admit,
indicates large Free State majority,
ard that being SO, as is generally admit
ted, that MAJORITY should have the un-
doubted Democratic right of moulding
their own institutions to suit themselves.
We think the Convention gravely err
red, in refusing to submit their work to
the voice of the people to be governed
by it.
To deprive the people of their iaAsrent
right of passing on their organic law, is
to strike at the very foundation of our
government-and the attempt must prove
futile. AS well attempt to stay the waters
of the Niagara with feather, as to stem the
will of the majority with mere parchment.
1t would Aave been better policy. because
more correct in principle. for the whole
Constitution to have been 70 ed on direct,
aye or nay: and If the majority voted it
down-hers lett lag. To say they shall
mot vote at ALL" because it is feared
they are opposed to it, is to concede at
once, that it does not spring from the
popular will. And if that is so. vain
will be every expedient to stave off the in
evitable result 1t will be only "a ques-
ton of time; sooner or later the popular
torrent, gathering only additional impetus
by the attempted obstruction. will break
through every barrier, and irresistably
vindicate that great axiom of our govern
ment-:he right of the MAJORITY TO rule.
We were in hope that other and more
democratic councils would have prevailed.
and that the troubles of that Inflated ter
ritory were finally over. We now fear
the worst. The aJolaionists. like vnl
lures over their prey are exulting at an
other excuse for their demoniac work
Agitation is their element. REVOLUTION
will now be their watch-word. The race
of demagogues, will again revive. We
confess we cannot see the end, but will
trust in a democratic Congress to save
the Republic. "-SaUannah Democrat.

The Kansas election has settled one
thing, namely, that the Free State men
outnumber their opponents. This is just
what VIC always insisted. Now.of course
the Constitutional Convention will frame
a on-slaveholding Constitution, and the
people viii ratify it. and Kansas will be
admitted Free State, at the next session
of Congress. So much for sensible
Governor like Robert j. Walker. So
much for the honest, peaceful, Democratic
way of leaving domestic matters to the
people to vote upon, instead Of sending
them Sharpe's Rifles. to shoot each other

is settled, Kansas "bleeds" no more

there will never be peace and quiet in
Kansas. until every question of difference

judgement of the people and decided by
them without restraint or hindrance. ANY
