well known that Gov. WALKER has de-
cIared that the Constitution shortly to be
formed for Kansas, shall be submitted to
q vote Of the people; and it is also known
that the President has promised that
WALKER shall be sustained in this policy.
This has called out THOMAS j. KEY, edi-
tor Of the Doniphan Constituiionalist,
who is one Of the Delegates elect from this
County. III is said, but we hardly be-
lieve it, that he every morning sticks his
head into an empty -four barrel, and yells.
ct the top of his voice, +" Honorable
THOMAS j. KEY !" Just to hear how it
sounds and that be has all the little boys
hired, with candy, to exclairn, when he
walks the streets, There goes Honorable
THOMAS ]. KEY !") The following is an
extract from an article in the Constitu-
fioaGlist, and may be taken as Keynote
of the policy to be pursued by the Con-
vention -
"Gov. Walker has no authority to
make any Gueh assertion-he has not a
thing to do with the Convention--he has
no say so in the matter. If he wishes to
make total failure in his mission to Kan
sas, let him pander to the foolish whims
Of the abolitionists. =
as one Of tie Delegates zoe here stale
that the Constitution aRH not be submitted
to cOery man soho may accidentally or in
teEsionally Be In Kansas on the day of its
adoption, Cor. Walker to the contrary,
notwithstanding. But we do not believe
that he ever made the statements attribu-
ted to him. If he did, he said that a
thing should be done, over which he had
no control, and if he should attempt to
interfere or induce the Convention to
throw the Constitution before every stray
gler that'msy be here, he would be at
tempting to play the tyrant, and be Civ
ing aid and comfort to the avowed enc
mics Of the country, and the de6ers of all
law"
The article from which the above ex-
tract is taken, also says that the Consti-
tuition will be unequivocd upon the sub
ject Of slavery, and tells how it will be
submitted to the people. Those only
whose names were registered last Spring.
viii be entitled to vote upon the adoption
of the Constitution. The Convention will
not permit its labors to be destroyed by
the votes of every Struggling rag-tag and
bob-tail who may have come into the
Territory since the election for Delegates.
That is right, Thomas j. KEY! (Per-
haps your name is THOMAS JEFFERSON.
If not, it ought to be; for he was the ia
Their Of Democracy, which guarantees to
every man fair expression of his opin-
ion, by his vote; that the people shall
decide as to what laws shall govern them;
and that a majority shall rule That is
right, we say. Where was the advantage
of the census-takers registering just such
names as suited them, and taking so much
pains to get a majority of certain kind
of votes in the Territory, if people who
think differently are to be permitted to
come in and outvote them. We say, go
it, Hon. THo.lAs JEFFERSON KEY. The
score and {, ,alf of voters who elected
you; have placed you in position of aw-
full responsibility. Do not let any one
vote who is opposed to the Constitution,
that is to be. If your voters have gone
home to their respective States, send for
them. Also stick provision into the
Constitution, prohibiting all persons from
voting, for ten years to come, except those
whose names were registered. If you
don't, you see they might elect Free State
men to the Legislature, who would take
the Constitution out of the "hands of its
friends" and enact laws distasteful to
you. What if WALKER and BUCHANAN
do say aught to the contrary? Who are
they, and what right have they to inter-
fers Is not your name THOMAS JEFTER-
SON Key, and your authority derived from
score and half Of voters of Doniphan
County? You must do all these things;
for as sure as a fair vote of all the bona
fide citizens Of the Territory Is permitted,
you will never again be elected to an Of
fee in Kansas, as long as your name is
THOMAS JEFFERSON KEY!
