THE CONSTITUTION OF KANSAS.

We devote much of the Union to-day to the publi-
cation Of the whole of the Kansas constitution, en-
braoinr The ordinance and schedule. Those who
have been imposed upon by the charge that the con
sutution has been fraudulently withheld from the
public by the president of the convention will now
he undeceivcd and disabuscd of these false impress
sons Upon examination it will be found that the
constitution is strictly republican in its provisions
and character, and in many respects am improve
ment on many Of the old constitutions There are
some Of its details which might well be the subjects
of different opinions, but the remark would be
equally true of any constitution Of any State. We
venture to advance the opinion that it will be uni-
versaly regarded as good constitution. On the
subject of slavery its provisions have heretofore
been correctly described in the Union. The only ex-
ception we see taken to it that is worthy Of any
tice is that taken by the black-republcan journals.
This exception is, that if the slavery clause should
be voted out by the people of Kansas Kansas would
still be slave State. The fact is directly the re-
verse; In that event slavery would be forever
prohibited, except that the owners Of the few
slaves now in Kansas could not be forced to
emancipatc them without just compensation. We
have said heretofore, and we now repeat, that
no other provision could be would be tole-
rated either by Congress or by any respectable ju-
dcial tribunal We commend the constitution to the
attention OF our readers furnishing the best an
Swer to much of the prejudice sought to be excited
against the action of the convention and against the
administration for its determination to recognise and
sustain the legality of that action. If fanatcism and
faction do not rule the hour in Kansas, we shall soon
have the pleasure of greeting into the Union another
sovereign State, with constitution as soundly re-
publican, and in its general provisions as wisely
framed, as any Of the older members of the con-
federacy and what is of no small moment, shall
have the satisfaction of announcing the fnality'' of
sectional agitation.
