Highly Important from Kansss-0ood News
We publish this morDiDg the proceedings Of
the firtt three days o, the Constitutional Con-
vention Of Kansas (pro-slavery), including the
opening address of the President Of the body,
Hon. John Calhoun. To the liberal aud sugses-
tive tone of this address, and the views of our
correspondent touching the slavery question, we
invite the special attention of our readers
Nothing could be more conservative or conci.
lstory than this address of Mr.. Calhoun, and we
have 10 doubt it is the trne index to the pre-
dominant sentiment of the Territory-to wit, a
peaceable ard satisfactory settlement Of the
slavery question, through a fair submits
sion to the popular vote, according to
the letter and the spirit of the Kansas
Nebraska bill. The Convention has adjourned
over until after the October Territorial election
a movement which also indicates among the
me mbers of the body prevailing disposition to
pacify, rather than TO irfame, the agitation Of
tie bigger issue in the election Of the members
Of the new Legislature
We are also assured that the violent and war
thrs atening agitators in Kansas-pro-slavery
and no slavery constitute but an Insignificant
faction here AID there Of noisy demsgosuss aud
desperate political adveuturers possessed OF no
fixed habitation or solid interest in toe Territory
and that decided majority of the substantial
bona fde settlers, who have practically identified
themselves with the destiny of Kansas, are Of
free State tel denotes, ard from the simple fact
that Kansas will prosper more rapidly as free
the superior pressure of Northern emigration,
are thus quietly but irresistibly working out the
manifest destiny of Kansas.
1t thus appears that many, even Of the most
violent original pro-slavery leaders of the Terri
tory give it up, and are really satisfied, in view
of the inelieibility of Kansas for African slave
labor that the exclusion Of slavery is the best
thing for all parties having an interest In the
material prosperity OF the State. With this con-
oession from these late ultra pro slavery leaders
it is very evident that the game of the niger driv
ing and niger worshipping agtaters in Kansas,
for outside party and Presidential purposes, is
blocked and that Kansas, in regular and or
DERBY manner, will pass through the official
forms required TO secure her admission among
the glorious sisterhood of the sovereign States of
this magnificent contederacy.
With this cheering news from Kansas. we con-
graduate our conservative felow-citizens, of all
parties, in this State and in other States upon
the success Of the Kansas policy Of Mr.. Bu-
cbansn's administration. IL has restored order
cut of confusion and has established the princi-
pies of peace, Cancellation and common sense up
on the ruins Of rufiianism aud bloody violence.
The ferocous agitators inside of Kansas, Of both
parties, are thus put upon their good behavior,
and law and order are predominant Thus, from
step to step we may confidently anticipate a
peaceful solution by the Kansas people of the
great issue Of slavery or no slavery. At the
same time, the political capital of " bleeding
Kansas" will no longer be Of any practical ser.
vice TO our outside agitators for there is nothing
IN it-tbere Is nothing any longer to swear,
cnrse, bowl or sbrek about in Kansas; for her
wounds are healed and che bleeds no more; but,
full Of vigorous beauty, health and hope, she Is
preparing like young maiden, for her formal
admission into society.
Let the Kansas shriekers OF this State who are
seeking to cover mp their own dirty works Of
usurpstion and spoliation In this unmeaning cry
Of bleeding Kansas" be met with the facts as
they stand, ard let our Seward olig archy be made
to answer in our approaching election for the
sufferings OF bleeding New York" Let this
test be applied TO all candidates for our new Lee
gislature; fer this next Legislature Is the ,rbu-
nal that mutt pass judgment upon the acts Ct the
last The first necessity for q reform IN our
local laws and financial State policy is revolu-
ton in our Legislature Let us attend TO this
business for Kansas will take care Of herself
