News FROM KANsAs.-A despatch from st.
Louis on the 18th says: The Lecompton cor
respondent of the Republican says thatA ma
jority of the Convention headed by Calhoun,
Moore and Henderson, propose to submit the
Constitution to the people in the following
form, viz A Constitution with Slavery, and
Constitution without Slavery, the vote to be ia
ken the Goth OF December, aud every actual res
ident at that time to be allowed to vote.
The Lawrence correspondent of the Demo
crat says that the Constitutional Convention
would probably adjourn on the Tth, and that
the Constitution will endorse the bred Scott
decision, the Fugitive Slave Law, etc. A pro-
osition for the establishment of a Provisional
Government was before the Convention. The
Pro-Slavery clause is the only one which will
be submitted to the people, so that no chance IS
given to vote down the Constitution.

received at Washington on Friday last, from
Judge Eckels, who is on his way to Utah, stat
ing that an express had arrived confirming the
report of the attack on and destruction by the
Mormons, of rs army wagons. There is, there

The danger that envroned the troops on account
of their insufficient numbers has been increased
by the late season at which they were despatch
