1t is notorious fact that negro slaves.
in considerable number are now owned
and worked in Minnesota. A man-and
man Of means too, who has once receiv-
ed the vote of his fellow-Democrats for the
Legislature-holds his gangs of slaves over
on the Minnesota river, which he works
upon his farm in open hostility to public
sentiment, but In beautiful harmony with
the Democratic bred Scott decision
Men have passed through our city with
their slaves several times during the winter,
and less than four weeks ago Southern
gentleman took rooms at one of our first
class hotels, registering his name as
''and servants" he had five of the ami
mails.
The St. Louis boats have rapidly and
frequently been manned in part by slaves
from the St. Louis market, and some such
lie at our levee almost every day.
! And 1T is generally reported, we know
not how truly, that slave is being held in
Still Water, and will continue to be held
in defiance of the Minnesota law, for the
avowed purpose ofprovoking another Dred
Scott decision from the five immortal
Shareholders Of the Supreme bench.
Now Minnesota is coming into the Uni

counsel no rash and imprudent measures,
but the least the Republicans can do in
that Convention. in honorto themselves
and in defense of the future State will be-
to guarantee to every fugitive, and to every
person claimed as such, the rights inviolate
of Habeus Corpus and Trial by Jury. Let
US build wall of adamantine law around
the State that blood-thirsty kidnappers
cannot climb overl Let us make our soil
free and our schools free, our homes and
hearts, our prairies, woods and water free
free as air--so that if kidnappcr shall pre-
sumo to invade our Northwestern asylum
of liberty, he shall be headed off and hurl-
ed back to his native slave den in an ire

The Free State men of Kansas. says the
Chicago Tribune, have ehalked out a bold,
straight forward programme, and are in
flexibly resolved to follow it out to the let
ter. Inthe first place they will pay no taxes
TO the usurpcrs, nor recognize the validity of
any of their acts.
In the next place, census will be imme-
diately taken, of all the inhabitants and
voters in the Territory.
Thir,lly-An election will be held on the
first Monday of August under this census,
for Governor, State officers and Legisla-
fure, as provided by the Topeka Constitu-
zion.
~Fourthly-Free State men viii attend
the polls this fall, at the Territorial cleo
ton, and secure both the Legislature and
delegate to Congress; which Legislature,
when it assemblies, will immediately repeal,
repudiate, wipe out, and obliterate every
vestige of the acts and appointments of the
bogus Legislature from the day ofthe first
invasion down to that time and commence
anew.
Fifthly-Said Legislature will submit to
. vote of the people, the Topeka Constitu-
ton, which of course will be ratified by an
overwhelming majority. This document
will then be forwarded to Congress, and
admission asked into the Union.
Sixthly-If the Constitution about be-
ing framed by the Border Rufians, be SUBJ
: mitted to the people, it viii be quietly vo-
tel down; but if none be allowed to vote
upon it but those who have been registered,
the Free State men viii refuse to vote. Just
rs they have done at the recent election
Then the two Constitutions will come be-
fore Congress-one of them the work of
Pro-Slavery fllibusters; the other embody-
ing the will of the vast majority the bona
/. fide settlers Of Kansas. And, further
more the latter viii have the stamp of Greg
ularity" upon it, because of its having been
submitted to the people for ratification, by
q Legislature created by virtue of the or
ganic act. Douglas own bill; there can be
no rejecting it on the ground of Irregular
ty-
How viii the Pro- Slavery party in Con-
gress decide between the two Constitutions?
How will Douglas vote? People will ask
these questions. But let it decide as il
may. in the end the Republicans will gain
the ~ictory. If the Topeka Constitution
is adopted, Kansas viii come into the Union
with flying colors, as full blooded Repub-
lican State. If the Lecompton Constitu-
ton is chosen, as soon as she is in the
Union, the Free State men will forthwith
take possession of the State Government,
and proceed to kick the Pro- Slavery Con-
stitution into Thousand fragments, and
adopt the Topeka one. Once in the Union
as sovrsign State. they can do as they
please. none daring to modest them. All
the Democracy" viii gain by rejecting the
Free State Constitution, and selecting the
Border Ruffian one, will be the execration
hatred and scorn Of the free labor masses
of the North, and heavier defeats at each
subsequent election in. free State.

coxsrrrurrosAL CONVENTION

Msssls. EplToas
The Convention has
spent considerable time over the two re-
ports from the Committee on the Judiciary.
Judge Hall reported IN behalf Of the MAORI
ty Of the Committee, and CLARK, of John
son, for the minority; 20 you sec, Il is not
politics that operates them. Both agree up.
on making radical changes in the hole ju.
dietary system, Both agree that IN place OF
our preseat District Court, the State shall
DC divided into four districts, with three
iodges In each, The majority report in ia.

three District Judges and also Supreme
Court The principal thing wherein the
two reports disagree is in regard 70 the pro-
prie;y OF establishing the Superior Cosri.
II 10 intermediate 10 the District and Su-
prems, and il thought BY the minority OF the
Committee 10 be unnecessary in 50 Young q

has been taken yet 90 either report. but

General Assembly, and the Judges OF the
District Courts. and provide for general
election in October next. 1t was arranged
to induce, II possible. some Republican 10
| introduce the measure. The Democrats, Of
course, will vote for il in body, and hope TO
receive suthcien, support from our side OF the
House TO carry il. We shall see whether
they succeed or not. The Republicans, now
| for the frsl time, have control of the State
and the Democrats make the very modest
request, that "they step out Of Office and Try
the race over There is no danger in the
experiment, bu, II the Democracy OF the
Convention can hnd nothing more impor
tant than 10 turn such men as Grimes, Sells,
Morris and Ps,ten out of office, they had
better resign and 60 home. The Constitu-
ton could never be adopted with such pro-
| vision.
Judging from the number of preliminary
speeches that have feen made, / conclude
that the report Of the Committee on lncor
porslion. will create considerable discus
sion. Our opposition may as well meet the
question at once, for, although many OF them
come here pledged 10 support one, yet all

" opposed to any banking system what
ever.
A provision has been adopted allowing
the State te create an indebtedness OF
$3.50, 900. AT present il is 100000. In
all probability the Convention will provide
for annual sessions Of the Legislature.
