The L1teUigencer protests earnestly against
the action OF the Kansas Convention, IT. the
matter of the reference Of its work TO popular
vote, arguing that it has set at defiance the
popular will, or rather failed to give the people
of the Territory an opportunity to reject all
their &C ton, if they elect go to DO. We have no
reason to expect any other opinion from the
IHtetigencer on this subject, for its sympathie5

braska act II does not even yet comprehend
that the Convention alone had the right to de-
tormine what to submit and what not TO submit.
Or, in other words that the Convention, repre-

We call attention to the passage which We
itahcise. If the Convention fairly represented
Kansas, why refer the Slavery section to the
people at all? TIE Convention adopted it
unanimously-and that body represents clear.

Star! This, too, in the teeth of the recent
election in the Territory, which pyoues the Free

the Cabinet feels uneasy at the escape of Walk

success. Well it may, for that it was in the
power of the Government to have crushed the

energy which it has shown in enforcing the
bogus laws of Kansas, would have kept Walker
and his followers at home.

A correspondent of the Tribune gives the
following as the method adopted in electing DR..
Bernhisel Delegate to Congress from Utah:
1t has been stated to me that, on the Sunday
before the day fixed by law for the election,
Brigham Young rose in the B owery where an
audience of several thousand was collected, and
spoke substantially to this effect:
Brethren, tomorrow, you know, is the day
to vote for Delegate to Congress, so the law
says. But don't see why to-day isn't Just as
holy, and why we shouldn't take vote to-day.
Brother Bernhisel, brethren, has done we'll
enough in Congress, though nobody's of much
use there; and if it's worth while to send any,
body to Washington, guess we might as well
send him back; if he can't do US any good, he
won't do US any harm. So, all you that are in
favor of sending brother Bernhisel back, will
please rise"
Accordingly, the whole audience rose The
next day, at the election, but few votes we're
cast, and those all for DR.. Bernhise, it being
felt to be useless to oppose him, although he is
said to be very unpopular in Salt Lake city.
