honest man on this floor He rises TO denounce the
msjority report as fraud, and yet he makes pro-
posal containing still greater fraud. He proposes
test oath that is only intended to drive men IRON
the pols He wants Free State men to swear TO
support Pro-Slavery Constitution before it was a
Constitution. Let the gtnts man from Riley strike
out that clause of an OdiOus test oath, and he
(JOnes) will meet him on his amendment.
Mr.. Haskell rose and commenced sharp hitting
of personalitit Mr.. Mobley. Mr.. Mobley rose 70
e7pian, and returned as sharp hitting both Of
these parties making strong insmations as to the
Pro. Slavery integrity Of each other. Mr.. Haskell
having got through with hi, political antecedenss,
took ground in faS Or of the majority report. 1t Sc

people from interfering with those by any vote.
The people had no right to interfere with those

200 votes thrown for Delegates TO this Convention,
out of 200 registered. Under such circumstances,
this was an argument in favor of submssiOn-that
is, in the iody proposed by the minority report.
Mr.. Randolph OF Riley, young man OF qnlet
and business-like appearance, got up, and got to
stating the position Of himself and Mr.. Mobley;, He
indicated the majority report. He indicated the
Northern Democracy, ana called nins sell, one. ne
also said he was Free-State man. This, as may
be expected, made every one stare. He had voted
for the ultra PrO-Savery report without begging;
lie had voted for all the bogus frauds put IN the Con
stuiion, as quietly as lamb; and when he said be
was Free State man, he left it doubtful whether
be was knaye or fool-lnost OF the latter, sus-
lect.
When he took his seat, Judge Gilmore moved To
adjourn, as it was nearly midnight. Mr.. Calhoun
INSISTED on vote on Mr.. Mobley's proposition He
was opposed TO that proposition. There was
nothing in it that he liked He wOlld infinitely pre-
er to send the Constitution direct to Congress. But
he wanted vote that proposition before the Con-
ventOn adjourned tonight.
On division, six voted fer Mr.. Mebley's amend
melt, and all Others present against it. This vote
indicated nothing positive. Mr.. NJ ,bley's remarks
were felt as the severest blow at the majority re-
port but neither he nor his proposal met with favor
from either party.
The Boston Trartlr of Nov. II hiss the following
account of the doiDgs of the bogus Convention on
the 4th inst, in q letter from Lawrence dated
the 9Th:
ports is il regard to the submission non-suonsson
Of the Cor stuiiOn, or any part OF IT, to the people.
The majority report in favor of submitting, not the
Constitution but the section relative to Slavery The
mir oriiy do rot provide for the submission in any way
Tie msjerity report is by far the mos. dangerous
scteme, though the other s the bOdes and therefore
most in censOnapce with the feelings Of the urssts.
"The principal points in the repors as follows
By them oil the past acts of the Territorial Legislature
incorsed and made binding and thus all the CHAR
t,rs. moDopoGes ard vested rights clsimed by that
legislation will be sustained.
1.-The Territorial Cove rnmept is declared 70 be eu-
perseo ed upon the adjournment of this Convention.
1.-THE majority report provides for the 81 omission OF
the ssve Article alone to the people and appoints the
2t Of December next the day for ouch submission.
The ingenuity displayed in this sugs es.ion will not
strike Your leaders at FIRST and therefore two or three
ihiI gs to be kept in mind. Fist: This power by
which this Convention sprung into being has been
repudiated base usurpation by the people of Kan
sas and therefore we vote at all, it must be 10 vote
it down. which this scbeme does not give Us q chance
to do. IL necessarily coppes US to vote the Con-
stitutiop, il we vote at all. The bs.lots wilt read
"Corsti.ution with the slave article and "Ccnsti:u.
ton without the slave article" We have no chance
left between 10. voting at all voting for adocument
which will be disgrace forever to In either case
WHISTLER we vote or not the Constitution will be COG
sidered as berg ratified, and will be sen, to Congress
Secortly itmus be remembered q al under the Tauey
construction slavery exists in ksnss,, and can only De
prohibited by positive enactment. As this doca snt
