Not even does the word White" designate who
are freemen. Slavery exists, and viii exist, under
this Constitution, and the Constitution can only De

Il is a miserable mOcbey-a farce.
After both reports were read and suonllIeI soefe
was hull in the Convention. The only dnerence
in the minority report was, that II more honesty
10 send up the Constitution to Congress for rauhca-
ton. These reports, as the President OF the Con

The submission feature 10 the veriest humDlg.
President Calhoun admitted that che election on the
2lst Of December is merely political dodge 70
save the Democratic party. -,
Tomorrow will be consumed in idle and vapd
discussion. There is really nothing 70 discuss
Every body knows how the matter Will end. IL is
settled that the majority report shall be adopted.
The debate Will merely be TOR outside effect IL
will be bogus debate, to guD the country into the
belief that there are two propositions.
When the two reports were submitted, President
Calhoun said, that IN the two, majority and minor

this Convention together. In this lay all the dlf-
eultes that divided Kansas. There was little differ
eDce between the two reports. Only this, the ma
jOrity report provided for submission u the people
on the question, and the minority did not. This wac
a subject of the utmost importance. u was not
whether r.edOm or Slavery should exist here, but
WIT ther the State Rights party that now ruled this
nation should continue to rule this nation, or the
Black Republican party should triumph, the party
that would prevent the introduction III Slavery into e
States or Territories! This was really the question.
All the other reports could have been framed BY a
man in twenty -four hours Thi. Was the real question.
