Constitutional Convention adjourned on the

This throws all positive action on the for

October election The Correspondent Of the
New York Courier & Enquirer writes from
Washington thus on the policy Of that
movement.
The adjournment of the Kansas Consti-
tuuond Convention to the first week of
October, is probably designed to give the
members an opportunity of engaging in the
canvass for delegate aud territorial lcglsla.

the Free state party by leaving it in doubt
OF the policy to DO pursued IN respect to
slavery. The plan presumed 10 be in con-

establishment of slavery, but to rely upon
the spurious laws for the accomplishment
OF that object. These cnactments will be
confirmed by the Constitution, and will of
course be placed beyond tho reach of the
people for at least three years more, by the
appointments and fictitious
legislatures elected under them. BY that
