HE CASE OF TUcKERMAN, THE MAIL Rob-
BER.-In addition to the facts BY telegraph
respecting this case, it appears that Tucker
man took passage ON board the night train
from New York on Sunday evening. Mr..
Holbrook was also passenger, with police
officer. Mr.. Tuckerman was seen TO go into
the baggage car, take bag from the heap,
place it in his trunk. and lock it up For
some reason, however, probably from sus-
Pioion that he had been watched, he unlocked
the trunk again, took out the bag, and threw
1t back. Immediately afterwards he was in
the custody of Mr.. Holbrook.
The penalty for robbing the mails upon
conviction on a single indictment, is ten years
in the State Prison.
By the following dispatch it will be seen
that Mr. Tuekerman's examination has been
temporarily postponed

erman, for robbipg the u s. mail, which was

WORCESTER d

equivocaly We ask that when Kanzas comes
into the Union, it shall be under constitution
which has received the endorsement of majority
Of her citizens, fairly expressed-that she should
take her place as a member of the eontederacy
under an instrument which has in every line ac-
quired that full degree of vitality that popular
approval alone can give, not under a constitution
framed under restrictions which ignore the SOW
regnty Of her citizens and treat them as the in
habitants of subju2ated province
We hold to these doctrines. We can conceive
Of nothing more important upon which the peO-
pc OF Kanzas should be allowed to vote than their
constitution, and know of no more important in.
stitution that can be established by their votes
than that instrument. The Calhoun constitution
al convention denies them this right. 1t gives
them no opportunity OF deciding by their votes
what their institutions shall be. They are allow
ed TO vote for the constitution with slavery, 0r1Or
the constitution without slavery but what doc.
trine can be more absurd than that slavery or an
ti.slavery are the only issues that free people
might naturally be expected to differ upon in the
formation of a constitution The experience OF
every day proves its utter fallacy.

In the special acts lately made, providing for
calling conventions in territories, provision has
been made that the constitutions made should be
submitted to the popular vote 1t was so prnvi-
ded for Minnesota and Oregon, and why should
the people of KanzaS be treated otherwise On
the contrary, we affirm that the Democratic party
are pledged beyond redemption to insist that the
people OF Kanzas shall approve their own consti-
tuition They made the pledge in the hanzas bill ;
they made il in their national convention they
made it in all their addresses and speeches to the

this pledge is redeemed to the letter, would be
