tB 1t is reported from Washington that
the Democratic Members generally, are de-
termined there shall be no violent agitation
of the question of the Kansas Constitution.
They say the course of the administration
upon the SUBJECTS an immaterial matter, for
it is strictly a legislative and not an execu-
tive question. 1t goes before Congress for
legislation, and the question will be decided
according to precedent and right. 1t is no,
necessary for the President in his message
and in anticipation of the submission Of the
constitution to the people Of Kansas or tc
Congress. either 10 approve or condemn thu
action of the convention. The Democrats hav,
wisely resolved--whatever may be the sen
timents of the President on the course Of tn
Nullifers-not 10 allow the Kansas consti
tuition to be the occasion of serious ruptur
in the party. They VII discard every maj
who attempts to make political capital out o
it. Walker is to be put down because he h.
ambitious designs in the course be has adop
ted.
