>KAHsAs.--1he Convention for framing
the Constitution for the Sta,e Of Kansas
assembled a, Lecomptcn on Monday last
AS the members are all OF the pro slavery
party and of one r,ind" it is supposed
there will be no protracted discussions.
and the labors Of the body will I've short.
In few days we shall know the result.
The important question is, will the Con-
yent;on provide for submitting the Con-
stitution to the people for adoption.
A Scene.-We have given the particu
lars of the attempted asSas ination of a
young man by the name Of Bailey at a
ball at Lecompton on the Sd inst. He
was stabbed in two places by two men,
who were arrested. Bailey lies in very
precarious state. On the 4th instant one
OF the assassins was brought before ma
gistrate for examination.
sThe pro-slavery men swore that he should
not be tried. and that any man who dared 70
testify against him should be shot. lie was
brought before Justice OF the peace. The
tocsin was sounded. The fire eaters assem-
bled. The free state democrats also assem-
bled. The conservative pro-slavery men
met too-ShannOn. Brindle, Eli Moore. and
Stephens, of New York-and determined
70 act with their free state friends.
They gave notice to the fre-eaters that il
the trial was interfered with they would put
down the insurgents. They all met at the
Justices Office. A man was called upon to
testify. The propagandists drew their revol-
vers. The ether party followed suit. One
Of them handed o revolver to the witness
and. thus armed-the pistol coeked-he pro-
ceeded TO give his evidence The justice wa,
q man OF weak nerves. and tainted. The
trial was postponed till Monday"
A Kansas correspondent Of the St
Louis Democrat thinks that extensive
preparations are being made in the border
counties Of Missouri to invade Kansa,
at the time Of the October election, ant
he says:
" Arrangements have been made to accom-
modate THEM permanently. A FORMIDABLE
military order has been organized for tina
purpose. Itis called the - Kansas volunteer
for the protection of the bale: box" Gen
Lane, OF course, is the presiding genins.-
His staff consists of Messrs. Whitman, Phil
lips, Conway and Redpath, who have office
in Lawrence. and are daily engaged wit
him in perfecting the organization. Fiftee
or twenty thousand men will be enrolle
before the election. Companies have bee
organized and are drilling III every count
in the territory. During the peace the part
prepared for war. Arms and ammunitio
were quietly introduced, and a formidabl
army can now be EQUIPPED. The carrpaig
of last summer taught them the necessity
being prepared in every respect-both as re
spects money, arms. ammunition and drill
for q renewal of hostilities. They are pre-
pared. 1t is to be hoped that the services
the volunteers will never be needed. Ii Il
nullIfers will stay at home, they will not |

A SPARTAN.-Among the Europeans
who were endeayoring to escape rom
Delhi, when it was ravaged by the cruel
East Indians, wa an English officer with
his wife. AS he bore her along amid the
dead and dying. he was attacked by a
party of mutineers. His good sword
was drawn, and seven rutfians fell.
Slowly retrea,ing, while keeping them at
bav, the fiends made rush at his wife,
hut a shot from her husbands arm saved
her honor, though it cost her life. An
other shot, by his own hand too, and the
husband rested beside the body OF his
wife. Had all the Europeans at Delhi,
been actuated by such spirit Of daring,
there would have been glorious victory
Of courage, over revenge, force and besti-
atty.

ANOTHER POISONING CASE. A mai

ANOTHER POISONING CASE. A man
named Isaac S. Wood was arrested at
Raulton on the Illinois Central Railroad,
on the Sd inst by the Sheriff of Livings-
ton county, n. Y. charged with poison
ing his wife, and his brother and his
wife and two children, in 1855, the OBJ
ject being to get his brothers property,
worth about $4,000. His wife was poi
soned with the rest through mistake,
and the children living frustrated the
scheme. Wood was not told OF the
charge on which he was arrested. and
accompanies the Sheriff to New York,
thinking that he is accused Of forgery
The evidence against him is said to be
conclusive.

The Cancels.

Mr. Beale, in charge of the govern.

the question of their adoption and usage
for the army service settled by the expe-
riment he has tried. They live and keep
n good condition on food neglected by
mules and horses, and can easily be sus.

found in abundance on the worst Amer

other animal would touch. He says in
every locality they would leave the best
grass to brouse from the low bushes
The route over which they passed is COW
cred for long distances with a small sharp
| flint rock. over which no unshod animal
can travel without being severely Grip
Piled; and it was predicted before the
camels left San Antonio that they never
could pass over such road with their
unprotected guita purcha like feet. They
did, 40 wever, reach FL Paso without hav-

peculiar nature Of the road. This is to

They travelled with the thermometer at

when thew approached it seemed as indf-
erent to drinking it. as if they had been

They are the most docile, patient and
easily managed creatures in the world,
and infinitely more easily worked than

~ Several reasons have been ALLEGED

~ Several reasons have been alleged
for Judge Curtis withdrawal from the
United States Supreme Court. One
party states that his relations with the
other members of the Court had been
rendered unpleasant by the difference OF
opinion on the doctrines involved in the
bred Scott case (; and these see in his re.
tirement another evidence of the iHtoler
ance and encroachments Of Sou hern
Conservatism" Others say tn II the rea-
son for his resignation, is the inadequacy
Of the salary,-that as an attorney he
has realized an income double the amount
Of his salary of $1,000 per annum as
Judge. This reason, If it were true, is
not creditable to the Judge. The salar,
is abundant to give an honorable support
to the incumbent, and If Mr.. Curtis has
heretofore--as his friends allege-made
more than, $4,000 per annum by hi,
practice, he has an income now indepen
dent Of his salary and with that must pos
sess the means Of a independent living
and would any man with just apprecia
ton Of the noblest objects Of life and th'
duties of patriotism, relinquish the hishes
honors Of his country, to accumulate
few more thousand dollars annually? 4
man swayed by such motives would b
unworthy the honors which the countr,
has conferred upon him.

OhEGoN.--We observe by our Oregon
exchanges, that the admission or the pro.
hibition of slavery under the new con-
stitution. forms the leading topic Of dis
cussion IN the newspapers of that Terri
tory The Democratic papers appear to
be pro-slavery advocates. and the sub
stance Of their arguments, is embraced
IN the following paragraph:
at would be to the interest Of the people of
Oregon to so form their Constitution, us To
admit Southern SHAREHOLDERS with their
property. to become citizens, for the reason
that such species of labor is needed at this
time to dcvelope the agricultural resources OF
the country. that it would induce emigration
to the new State, which is so much needed
enhance the value of real estate, and have a
favorable influence on all branches Of in
Iustry."
The Republican papers reply to these
positions, as follows:
at will be readily admitted that there Is
no community of interest between slave and
free white laborers, and cannot be to any
considerable extent. in any State. so long a.
the races differ as they now do in intellect,
tastes and habits. Hence if we introduce
slave labor into Oregon. we must dispense
with free white labor. except in tho capacity
| of superintendents and overseers. 1t is i'm
possible in the nature Of things that we can
| have both classes OF labor extensively COM
mingled. Hence, one must give place to the
other. The question is, which Of the two is
better for Oregon"
