:, allowed to vote whose name is not on I'll
I registry or census list. The Consti.utio
: when adopted will be submitted to tt

State. If refused admission, the old tnrea

: KANSAS 4 SLAVE STATE-Tliat Ken
| sas will be Slave State is now near to b
settled question. On the tnird Monda
!. in June, one month from yesterday, an
: vection will be held for delegates to a Coz
ention which is to meet in September,
and form State Cons ,itution for Kansas
t These delegates are to be voted for b,
those who are qualified to vote under tn,
act providing for The election. The quail
fictitious Of such voters are, besides citizen
ship Of the United States, three month
. residence in the County and registration OF
the Census roll. The census returns show
q vast majority in favor of making Kansas
la Slave State, and of course large ma
Eomty Of Delegates to the Convention vii
Ebe rfo-slavery, and the Constitution they
make will protect slavery, which is an es
ltablished institution iD the Territory. This
Constitution will be submitted to the pop
ular vote of those who elected Delegates to
make it.: 1t wiN be accepted By them, and
then transmitted to Congress with the pc
tition that Kansas be admitted as State
with her organic law SO framed.
THE question is frequently mooted
"will Kansas be admitted with Consti
tuition inhibiting slavery?" That it vii
be, is our belief as it is our hope. There
is democratic majority in Congress, or al
least majority of those who are oppos
to Black Republicani5m; and its doctrine
Iof "no more slave Territory" Should
there be any difficulty however, it can be
readily removed. Suppose Kansas is re
fused Abundance, and Minnesota, for ex
ample, submits It's Constitution and asks
to be admitted into the Union. The
ISouth and its friends will say stand back
you refused us Kansas, now we will refuse
you Minnesota, until our petition il
granted. Let Kansas come in, and We
will not keep Minnesota out"
There is one idea prevalent which shoult
las we'll be abandoned or modified at once
"Kansas may come in as a Slave State
but will not remain SO long" Such il
the expression we hear nearly every day
The fact is, that Slavery has existed for :
great many wears in Kansas, say twenty Of
thirty, and is an established institution
las we'll by nature as by law. The
history of slavery in the United States
goes to show that it is not SO easily up
rooted. True, ii has been eradicated by
! formal process Of emancipation in many
| States, but it was done from causes pecu
| liar TO the circumstances, at a time whel
slaves and slave labor were far below par
! And then the climate had much to dc
; with that emancipation movement whicl
, swept negro servitude from New Engfan'
: and the Middle States.
: sBut there is new way adopted by an
ti-slaverites to abolish it. They threaten
corece, endeavor to drive. Off all peopl
: known, Americans are the most stubborn
you mey persuade them to do an hundred
!, things, while you could not force them t
do one. In 1882, Virginia came withi
one scte of emar cipating her Slaves, Will
now, an emancipationist there; is consider
|, ed as bad as an aboltionist; The differ
ence is that abolitionists tried to drive VII
Iginia into what she was not ready for, an
She kicked. And besides, slavery is nov
in its proper element, and in its madnes
Z TO try and and drive it further South.
: may 90, after awhile, but it will go yolun
J tarily, not from coercion.
Let Kansas be Slave State once, an
| abolitionism is powerless there. Norther
men become shareholders directly. Mo;
of those who own slaves in Kansas nov
were originally from the North, and whe
a lii is profitable to do so, they as ready t
J. Lbuv.sell and hold slaves as any. We roul
!. point to numberless instances, to prov
S this fact, which is not to be overlooked
calculating the chances Of Kansas remain
8 ing a Slave State. Possession Is I'm
) points of the law" let the South get kar
sas once, and then the abolitionists WI
whistle when she looses it.
aShould those opposed to the extensio
4 of Slavery, succeed in keeping Kansas OF
g of the Union, at first, application will b
{ made again, and Trefasal IS persisted a
: war may aud uiU no doubt be tie coast
, que,aee. This we would deplore, but wa
y is preferable to degradation and submissio
to wrong.
i Suffice it to say, we firmly believe thf
. Kansas will be admitted with whatevt
It Constitution shall be framed by the. Coz
+ yention to meet in September. That
IS Twill be favorable to the South, it is no
IT unreasonable to doubt.
