THE KANSAS CONSTITUTION.
he New Haven (connecticuD Register says !:

The New Haven (Connecticut) Register says:
There is attempt to open the wounds of bleeding
Kansas again. because, say the black republicans, If
the people do vote down the slavery clause the consu
tuition says nothing the subject That is capital black
republican logic quite good they use ON any
political topic Tho constitution of Connecticut also
silent the subject of slavery, although adopted in
1918 1t is not necessary that there should be clause
in the constitution proig slavery to enable the peo
pie ofa State to dispense with the institution simple
law Of the Legislature (when Kansas shall be admitted as
State) will settle that question in accordance with the
public will They object too that the constitution pro-
ydes that existing laws shall remain in force until new
Legislature elected under the constitution meet
and revise them This perfectly proper and nothing
new; the course adopted on the formation of
the Connecticut constitution and what was proper for
the land of steady habts ought TO be good enough for
border rufians and abolition shriekers On the whole
wo do not believe that Kansas be made TO bleed
very severely on this new kink.''

may in any degree, affect the interests OF American
shippers. The initiatory step in the contemplated
reduction of import duties on British manufactures
in Chinese ports is indicated in the following official
circular, addressed to leading British mercantile
firms at the FIVE ports, from the "ofiice of the Brit

SIR have the honor to inform you that his excel

information as possible with reference to the operation Of
the tariff of duties on exports and imports estab
lshed in the ports Of China He is led to believe that
admits, among improvements, Of notifications favor
able to the development OF the import trade III British
manufactures, and that by of the diminuon in
the cost of production Of articles, and from the
want of specific denominations applied to Others
some important classes Of British manufactured goods

on. stats
His exceency accordingly instructs me to put myself
in communication with the leading members of the Brit

view of obtaining from them the information these
and similar points of detail which they well quail

he will receive with pleasure any suggestions of more
general nature bearing the important subject of our
commercial relations with China.
The wide scope thus given by his excelency to the
above inquiry and the declared readiness of the Canton
community to afford his ordship the benefit of their
perience whenever invited to do so leave nothing to
add in thus bringing his wishes to your special notice.

CHANGES IN THE CHINESE Ia
RIFF IN FAVOR OF BRITISH MANUFACTURES

Our merchants engaged in the Chinese trade
should be apprised that efforts are being made
by the British officials in China the object Of which
is virtually to give British imports Of manufactured
articles an advantage similar imports from the
United States and other countries, We have no OBJ
lection to any notifications or reductions of duty
which may be obtained by British merchants on their
cotton and other manufactured articles, provided
the benefit Of such notifications reductions shall
be shared alike by the citizens and subjects Of the
other treaty powers but the success which has al
ready attended the ingenious devices Of British mer
chants to for their manufacturer especially Of
cotton in Turkey, the Barbary States, and in other
parts of the world, custom-house advantages over
similar merchandise manufactured in the looms of
Massachusetts, and other northern States naturally
exctes suspicion and demands the striotest vigi
lance and the most careful scrutiny of any move
ments the part of Great Britain to especial
tariff privileges in countries in which enjoy, by
treaty, an equality of rights. 1t should be borne
in mind that our exports of domestic products to
China augment in quantity and value every year. The
following tabular statement which, although official,
is far below the actual value of our exports Of do
mestic products to China-will abundanty show this
