weeks since, passed a resolution, severing all
connection with the General Grand Encampment
OF the United States, and taking position as an
Independent body; the reason given therefor be-
ing that the United States Encampment had vir-
tually disbanded by its own action This course
was dissented from by portion of the members,
and few evenings since the Cincinnati Encamp-
ment unanimously passed resolution offered by
the Grand Master Of the Order in the State, re-

SpJHJT or The MORNING PRESS.

SPIRIT The MORNING PRESS.
The IgtelIfgeRcsr protests earnestly against
the action of the Kansas Convention, in the
matter of the reference of its work to popular
vote, arguing that it has set at defiance the
popular will, or rather failed to give the people
of the Territory an opportunity to reject all
their action if they elect so to do. We have no
reason to expect any other opinion from the
Inteliigsncrr on this subject, for its sympathies
have been consistently against the Kansas
Nebraska act. 1t does not even yet compre-
bend that the Convention alone had the right
TO determine what to submit and what not to
submit. Or, In other words, that the Conven-
ton, representing the people of the Territory
as clearly and fairly as such body ever repre-
sented constituency, fs, in fact, the people of
the Territory. We reject all the pertinacious
abolition SANDERS disappearing the manner
In which the Convention were elected, and
accord to them their really UNREASONABLE
right to determine what was their line of duty
In the premises, without interference from be-
yond the limits of the Territory, such as is en-
braced in the comments this morning of our
esteemed friends of the MteIiigencer
The Union, on the other hand, frankly and
demccratically bows to the will of Kansas as
expressed through its legitimate chandelier
convention. The editor takes occasion to say,
with correctness and force, indeed:
We aie gratified, because ii will allay sec
nonal strife and excitement; because we see in
the action or tue convention the viadcation of
the great principle Of tie Kansas BILL which
submitted the question of slavery to the decision
OF majority OF the bona fde inhabitants of the
Territory In submitting to the people the Ques-
non, whether Kansas shall be a free or a Save
state. the convention has responded To the policy
so urgently pressed by Governor Walker and
exhibits the gratifying fact that upon this great
principle there is cordial concurrence between
him and the people Of Kansas, as represented in
that convention. Again we tender to the Admin
1stTatlon-to Governor Walker-the people of
Kansas and of the whole country-our heartfelt
congratulations upon this signal triumph of prin-
c1ple over prejudice We rejoice not because
Kansas is to be- slave or free State but because
the people OF Kansas are to decide for themselves
through their own fairly-expTessed will, what
shall be the future character of their State. The
destiny OF Kansas is to be decided by he ballot
box. not the cartridge box /; by her own citizpns
not by foreign influences and when that deci-
sion shall be thus pronounced, it will command
the cordial acquiescence and approval of good
men everywhere, whether il be to make Kansas
slave or free Staten
