INC Convention i'm Kansas.

The Convention in Kansas.
The. well-informed Lecompton CORES
pendent of the Ne,0 York times, writing
from Kansas under the date of June 10Th,
says:
We have already heard, therefore, of
| the election of twenty-five delegates to
the Convention, all pledged to submit
the Constitution to n popular vote. In
deed, the people of all parties in the
Territory are we'll nigh unanimous on
that question, and it is believed that the
vote on the subject in the Convention
will be virtually unanimous! .The'plan
Of presenting the subject, which seems
to meet the most general favor, is this 4:
To make the constitution ignoring the
slavery question toto edelo, N the best
possible in other respects, and submit
that to a vote of the people; simultanz
clause prohibiting slavery from Kansas,
to be voted on separately by the people,
and thus put the matter finally, defnit-
ely, and please God, eternally at rest.
From conversations I have had with
getlemen, elected to take part in the for
nation of the Constitution or likely to
influence its action, I think it pretty GER
tain hat it will contain clauses provi-
ding for complete cooperation with tho
General Government, for the execution
of the Fugitive-slave Law, and for car
rying into effect that section of the ju-
dietary act of 80 securing appeals in
constitutional cases to the Supreme
| Court of the United States.
As one of the most singular indica-
tons of the recent change in popular
feeling in regard to Kansas, 1may state.
the fact that nearely every Missouri
newspaper which I have seen-and I
believe I have seen most of them-and,
what is stranger still, every one from
the Kansas border, has strongly indors-
ed Governor Walkers inaugural, and
expressed it's determination to lend all
influence to support his policy and pro-
mote his views. X X X x
General Stringfellow and his brother,
DIR. Strin2fellow, have been here
for the last two days. The Doctor is
working hard for the nominations Con-
gress, but his chances are said tobe very
doubtful. Neither of them, in appear
ance, justifes the raw-head-and- bloody
bones notions we Eastern people have
been led to form of them. Both are
rather petit. active, sprightly, good
natdred, gentlemanly persons, not half
so violent in their opinions as you might
suppose, and quite preposscssing in their
manners. Personally, they seem to en-
joy much popularity among all parties.
