The country at large have been advised through
the mails and by telegraph of studied determination
on the part of those deluded citizens of Kansas who
still madly cling to the SOL called Topeka constitution
to take part in The pending election contest in that
Territory. Friends of law and order, men who are
acuated by the pulest and most patriotic motives,
having in vain urged them to vote for delegates to
convention to frame State constitution there is no.
thing left but TO express regret for their folly and to
leave them 10 the consequences which are likely 10
follow their mschievous, if not dangerous obstinacy
The position of the Democratic party, and, it is
scarcely necessary to add the position of The admin
stration in regard to existing difficulties in Kansas,
cannot be misunderstood 1t is that the people of the
Territory have the right to settle the character of
their institutions. If considerable inconsidera-
BILE portion OF their number conceive that they
impair and ultimately destroy that right by creating
difficulties and disturbances, or by taking part in
the elections they labor nnder of which they
cannot be too dIsabused for the Democratic,
conservative portion of the country will regard as
the people of Kansas only such now uniting to
frame form OF government in accordance with the
prov isions of law, and not those who seeking 10
paralyze the popular will by illegal subterfuges and
the quibbles of fanaticism.
Whatever the constitution may be-wheher re-
cognisng or excluding slavery, silent in regard
10 The instuton-t will be viewed the expression
of the will OF the people of Kansas, those who
frame it will under the federal constitution, and
in manner recognised by the organic law.
The administration we are quite sure, stands on the
doctrine of nonnterventIon. in the sricest sense Of
the term, AMI will insist to the extent of its constu
tlonal power that the peo lie OF tha Territory shall
manage their own affairs in their own way.

made speech in relation to the negro fugitives from
the United States, in which he said:
He then took occasion 10 speak of The negro fu.
gtives as being most unpriucpled persons, and sug
gested that they should be separated fon the white
population, which they contaminated by their wees.
The people of this country, moved by Christian
sympathy for their suerings, treated them with kind
ness, but they repaid that kindness with ngrat,ude
they were chiefly remarkable for their filthy and dis
honest features, and should be to live by them
selves on one of the Monitoun islands, or somewhere
else where the whites would not suffer by contact
with them"
