The undersigned, members Of the Commit

the Psymasler of the Philadelphia and Read

the Safe in.use by H. A. Lanlz, in his store,
manufactured by Evans g. Watson, and put
in books and papers precisely alike.
The fire was started al 81 O'Clock, A. NJ,
and kept up until four cords of green hickory,
two cords dry oak and bali chestnut top wood
were entirely consumed, the whole under
the supefiniendence OF the subscribers, mem
be.s oil the Committee. The Safes were then
cooled off with water, after which they were
opened, agd The books and papers taken out
by the Committee and sent 10 H. A. Lanlz's
store for public examination, after they were
first examined and marked by the Commit.

DKINK ALL RoUND.-The correspondent
OF the Cincinnati Gazette gives the following
account of the closing scene Of the Kanzas
Convention
The vote for final adjournment was taken
on Sunday morning, at one o'clock. Before
It was decided by the chair. Henderson Of
Leavenworth, rose, and cried, Now, bows.
let's have drink !" which was received with
such vociferous applause, that, though it is
presumed the President declared the Conven-
ton adjourned, nothing of the kind was
heard.
The rest of the hours of darkness, until
Sabbath mornings sun, were passed in TAX
ing that drink, and some more, and daylight
revealed terrible strewing about of thu
Constitutional Convention.
Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1857-11-24

The free State men of Kanzas Will refuse
to vote on the question of adopting the con-
stltutlon with the slavery article, or the con-
stitution without the slavery article, but es-
taollshing and continuing the present statutes
OF slavery. Between two such constitutions
there Is not sufficient choice to Justify them
IN committing themselves to either. The
people demand the right to frame and adopt
their own constitution, and if that right, the
fundamental right of free institutions, is de-
med to them, they will not make themselves
voluntary parties to their own degradation.--
