KANSAS.

The submitting of the Coustitu
ton to be adopted by the Conven
ton of Kansas to the people for rat
Iifcation, has been subject of mucl
acrimonious discussion. 1t is very
surprising that it should elicit am
controversy. The reference to th'
( people of the Constitution by tbt
Convention, is matter entirely with
in their supreme power. If the To
peka Freesoilers refuse to vote, anG
TO be represented in that Convention
and a pro-slavery delegation be ap'
pointed, we of the South will have
reason the be satisfied with what they
decide, and should they refer it for
ratification, it is not without abun.
dant precedent: 1t is for the Con-
vention to decide the question, and
they having at heart the interests of
the territory, will no doubt 90 their
duty in the premises. If the Tope-
ka Freesoilers are determined to con-
tinue agitation, and refuse to ssnd
delegates to the Convention, and af-
ter it decides (should it do SOY to re-
fer the constitution to the people,
and still refuse to vote, as they will
do, if they intend to keep up the
excitement and the Freesoil in
vestment In agitation stock, the
pro.slavery constitution will necessa-
rily be adopted, and give the party
adopting it the vantage ground. :
Revolution may be the result, but
the government will take the part
of law and order, and vino doubts
the result?
We think policy, duty and patri-
otism all combine in inducing Us to
await quietly the acts of the Conven-
ton, which we think should be left
to its members. 1t will be time
enough then for us to agitate when
their action is known.
AS precedents may be desirable
on the question Of submitting the
to the people, we give
the following, to show that there is
much to be said on both sides:

Effects of Political Fanaticism,

! Washington Umom,) has two leadin,
offects-to-wit: 1t paralyzes the act
i've energy of the people, and poison
and diminishes their happiness. Th'
crusade of fanatical know nothingisn
has seriously retard ed the growth ant
business of many places where thei
instincts have had full sway. Louis
vile is a striking illustration of this
The know nothing demonstration
drove from the city its thousands o
the industrious producing classes
many of them carrying with them very
respectable capitals. 1t lost large
portion of business, and everything
was paralyzed. Wherever know
nothingism has secured foothold, a
paralytic effect has been produced,
and the barometer of human happi
ness has sunk in corresponding de-
gree. The same consequences have
followed the footsteps of republican
ISM" Not one foot of America has
been made happier by its fanaticism,
while millions of our citizens have
been made unhappy by its paralyzing
and dreaded effects. Kansas has
been its greatest victim. Her people
were arrayed by it in hostile death
blows, extending to women and chill
dren. Her fields were neglected, anc
starvation stared them in the face.
In many parts of the country indus
try gave place to fanatical crusades,
sowing the seeds of bitterness and
strife where kindness and friendship
had long dwelt. In hundreds Of pla-
ces the formal worship of God has
been made the vehicle Of propagating
political fanaticism. Those who have
no taste for such desecration were
compelled to listen or leave churches
where they had hoped to serve God
in peace and quietude during their
lives, to the continued denunciation
of the Union, and assaults upon the
characters of the people in nearly
half of the States Of the confsderacy.
The hlighted effects were everywhere
apparent last year, and especially 10
this city, where everything depends
upon its continuation and prosperity.
The defeat of these two modern tan.
aticisms has revived the hopes OF our
citizens everywhere, and industry
has assumed its wonted activity and
happy effects. The i'll and uuchari-
table feelings which they call into ex-
istence will soon subside, and give
place to others dictated by the pre-
cepts of our holy religion and pfac-
ticed by those who practically Illus
trate them by blameless Christian
lives. We shall rejoice to see things
fully restored to the useful and happy
conditions which existed before fam
aticism opened its gates and flooded
the land with Unnecessary evils. we
think a returning sense of the rela.
tions of man to his fellow man will
soon relieve us from the evils which
their non-observance has lately visited
upon us. VIII any lover of his coun-
trv and fellow-man hereafter assist or
countenance fanaticism in any OF its
forms?

A Gem for MilIard Fillmore.

/ On Monday last there was an cleo
ton in Buffalo, the home of MiIIard
Fillmore, for municipal officers There
was a complete fusion between Know
Nothings and Black Republicans, a
ticket having been formed which was
composed of candidates belonging to
each of those parties, the decision
having been made as fair and eqnal
as possible. This ticket was earnestly
and zealously supported by the Buff
falo Commercial Advertiser, the home
organ Of Mr.. Fillmore, which is edit
ed by DR.. Foot, Mr.. FiIlmore's par
ticular friend, who made the tour of
Europe with him last year. The
Advertiser urged the election of its
ticket mainly because it was fusion
of all the parties opposed to the Dem
ocrats. The telegraph advised US
yesterday that the entire National
Democrat ticket. from Mayor down,
was elected by majority of one
thousand votes. This is pround
victory, over which the gallant De-
mocracy of Buffalo have a good
reason 10 be proud-and We ask the
attention Of Southern men to the po-
sition occupied by the miserable and
broken down party in coalescing with
Black Republicanism with the sane
Ion and aid of Fillmore himself

THE MOLASSES CROP.

SIR: Knowing you feel interested in the
Chinese Sugar Cane, concluded to send you
some account Of an experiment which have
been making. have about one acre OF the
cane which think is very fine. | therefore
had a mill or press with some boilers put up
in the field by the side of the cane, for the
purpose of having it convenient, and have
made about one hundred gallons OF as good
sirup | think as can be obtained in Pbiladel-
pba.
Nv first experiment was to find out how
much Juice one hundred canes would produce
taking them as they run aud cutting of three
feet Of the top with the seed, and l obtained
l3i gallons That boiled down to thirty-hve
degrees, made "a gallons Of excellent sirup:
then tried what quantity OF juice l could
get from the mill in given time and iouna
the quantity TO be one gallon per minute II
properly attended, to and if pushed one and q
half gallons. Their made some calculations
Of the number Of stalks which ! have on the
psice of ground. There are 68 rows three
feet apart by 100 rows two and half feet
apart and they run from Eve to sixteen stalks
TO the hill. thereto re put them downto eight
stalks TO the hill which would be 6S0C Hills,
and eight to the hill would give 81 400 STALKS.
Taking eight stalks to gallon of iinic", there
would be $500 gallons and sevsn gallons oil
iuice to one of sirup would yield e55 81 gal
Ions. Putting the price ut so cts, would be
s477.65. Add to this the seed which being
very fne and supposed by judges to be from
80 to 20 bushels, put that down at 60 bu-
shells and at 50 cents per bushel would be
$50. The leaves estimate to be worth $40
making in all $50T65, as the value OF an
acre.
Now, as to the expense with large boil
ere, properly constructed would not cost over
one.fourth ofths above amount for raising and
all other expenses. This may seem IKE
large calculation to you, but / am satisfied
that this acre will do all have stated and
am well convinced that an acre planted with
this cane and properly managed, mouid yielc
more profit than With any other crop ,oih whicf
