A bitter controversy followed, in which, un-
der the operation of that peculiar Kansas fea.
ture by which each excitement blots ont its
predecessor, Governor Walker, Topeka speech,
johnson precinct, and all, were completely ig.
nored, the grand overshadowing question being
submission or no submission" Waterloo
was child's play to the sanguinary conflict
which ensued, and disruption of the continent
seemed to be the least disastrous consequence
that could possibly result. Meanwhile. the
Convention, in the exercise of that authority
which precedent as old as the Republic, con-
servative determined to submit to the people,
in a separate clause, the issue of Slavery, con-
fessedly the only bone of contention, certainly
the only one in schich the people of the Union,
North or South, haze the slightest concern.
proposition apparently so equitable, 80
completely meeting the views of the most mod
crate and liberal men of all parties, augured
well for the prudence of the Convention, and
seemed to challenge general approval. Yet, no
sooner is it known, than the fires of faction
blaze with renewed fury, and second political
earthquake impends.
1t cannot then be denied that there is large
faction IN the Union with whom agitation is
toregone conclusion men who have deter
mined not to be satisfied, and, even in matter
with which they have no lawful concern, have
1t must be remarked, also, as illustrating the
madness of this excitement, that in all this long
interval no opinion has been formed upon COM
petent evidence. The unauthorized reports of
evidently prejudiced correspondents have been
the basis of this agitation, and questions in
volving the most fundamental doctrines of re.
| publicanism, and the subtlest distinctions and
limitations of authority, have been glibly deci.
ded, on testimony that would not be admitted
at the bar of a Justices court in the trial of a
negro for petit larceny.
Let Kansas have the poor privilege of a fair
hearing-let her enjoy the right of stating her
case when she appears by delegation on the
floor of the next Congress; and if the conflict
of lSl9-'2O, and the Compromises Of 1850 and
1855, were not barren tree, the interminable
Kansas question can be disposed of in day.
1t is conceded that she possesses the requi-
site representative population the Constitution
her Convention has adopted is undeniably re-
publican. Let her then be admitted, and the
people may set about redressing any grievances
which the Convention may have subjected
| them to.

has ever appeared himself practical farmer
having visited and surveyed the farming OF the
Old World, he set out upon tour to explore the

away by his feelings, that one sometimes wonders
at the calmness with which he will relate the
most astounding facts. He never hesitates to
admit a merit, or give praise when it is due. The
book is very thorough and accurate in its Details
and is written in style so lively, and with so
much dramatic incident as to hold the attention

HEARING FOR KANSAS,

The anticipations so generally expressed
within the past few weeks, of the early and pacific
adjustment of the complicated difficulties of the
Kansas imbrogliO, appear to be as far from re-
alization as ever. The outrage-mongers are
again ablaze with indignation, and the field is
laid out for a new engagement.
1t has been the misfortune of Kansas, from
the date of the first act of legislation regarding
her, to have been systematically denied a hear
ing. Every act of her people and her rulers
was judged in advance, or if, by rare excess
of courtesy, allowed the privilege of being done
before it was criticized, has been canvassed
with no reference to its agents or their circum-
stances, but single with an eye to its prospect
i've influence on persons and organizations
removed by hundreds of miles of space, and
standing in no legitimate connection.
Under the influence of this iniouitous system.
the young Territory has been the victim of the
most fragrant injustice. In advance of all op-
portunity for just decision, her Governors
have all been pronounced tyrants, her legisla-
tors traitors, her elections frauds At last, after
three years of the most turbulent existence. the
assembling of the Constitutional Convention
this fall was hailed as the goal of the difficult
ties of Kansas. Through the folly of the To.
peka party, the National Democracy obtained
the almost unanimous control of the Convention
and proceeded to organize. After a few weeks
of what appears to have been laborious and
every way praiseworthy session, a draft of a
Constitution is prepared. At this point, the
question arose which has arisen in every Con
stitutional Convention since the formation o.
the Government, shall the Convention be sub
mitted to the people? and, like all other
| questions which have ever agitated the people
OF Kansas, it was discussed principally outside
Of her territory. Discarding all reference t.
the principles of political science involved, thu
presses and politicians of the Union arrayel
themselves for or against it, precisely as til,
affirmative or negative would advance thei
supposed sectional interests.

From the Boston Traveller.
TEE PROSPECTS FOR KANSAS,

We are not of the number who lack faith in
our Republican form of Government High
above all the conflicting elements which have
been of late set in such violent motion, we have
been able to discern even-handed Justice, with
her balance, ready to award to all their due.
To the selfdenying, liberty loving citizens of
Kansas, we firmy believe will be granted that
form of government and those institutions which
they demand. To allow any others to be i'm
posed on them would be to disgrace our coun-
try, its Government, and its People, and to bring
dishonor upon the cause of popular liberty.
We cannot anticipate any such result, and we
will not write single word that shall excite in
advance the indignation which such result
would produce.
The renewed attempt which is now making
by the organized faction in that Territory to
establish Constitution acknowledging the ex-
istence of Slavery, and forbidding its expulsion
without the consent of the owners of the slaves,
is VIGOROUSLY repugnant to the wishes of ma
jority of the inhabitants, and therefore it must
fall. We do not believe that it will receive the
support or the sanction of the Federal Govern
ment, nor of Congress, nor even of the people
of the slave States. To believe it, would be to
believe that cause can be furnished under our
popular Government, for popular revolution !;
that the peaceful revolution of the ballot being
denied to the People, they must assert their
rights by force of arms.
Under the circumstances to which we have
alluded, we hold that such a resort would be
not only justifable, but honorable; as honora-
BILE to them as disgraceful to the Government
and the country. While we faithfully chronicle
the proceedings of the dastardly conspiracy,
and are reminded by it of the exclamation OF
Cicero, How long, oh Catiline, will you vex
the Senate and the people of Rome we watch
confidently for its final overthrow, and for the
complete and perpetual disgrace of all concern.

own State and party, and the Reputation Of his
confederates in Kansas at the recent Territorial
election, we supposed to be an indication thai

this desired result had been reached; but the
renewed effort of the Pro-Slavery faction, in
their recent Convention, shows that they have
not run through their course of infamy.
We sincerely hope that wise counsels will
govern the Free State men; that no confidence
in their own strength, nor in the sympathy
which they have excited all over the country,
will induce them to adopt course of redress
which should be only a last resort-a resort
which can never be required under our Consti-
tuition, when rightly administered.
