Since our comments on the action
Of the Constitutional Convention OF
Kansas have been in type, later news
has made the condition Of things IN
that territory much more satisfactory.
The Convention has refused TO submit
the Constitution TO the people at all,
and that instrument will therefore 60
before Congress without being ratified
by popular approval. We are glad
tina, things have assumed that shape ,
for now the Constitution will be reject
Ell BY Congress, beyond all question:
| and the people of Kansas vii! then
have au opportunity to make constitu-
ton for themselves. Had the constr
tuition been submitted, even in the
manner described .inlanother column
there might have been many to de-
fend or apologize for the acceptance o.
it By Congress. :.Now,i ont Of the es-
trcme fire eating faction, zone can be
| found wiling 70 treat it il any othe'
wav than SO a usurpation and an out
rage. The very means taken by th'
fire eaters to faston slavery upon Kan
sas are the signal Tor their defeat; IL
their rapacity they have overreached
themselves; and despite Of their zeal
