Shall the Kansas People votef

We have received an authentic copy
of the Kansas Constitution as adopted
By the Bogus Convention. and are now
able TO verify the quotations We gave at
second hand last week. The clauses
submitted to the people do not give Them
any power 10 exclude slavery from the
territory. butit-i expressly provided
that all the slaves that are brought into
the Territory before the Constitution goes
into Effect skaH remain sLrves, and the
people shall have no power to emanci-
pate them by law. These portions of
the Constitution are not to be submitted
to the people. The bogus Convention
are determined to force slavery upon
The territory whether the people will OF
not. They simply submit the question
whether ia, the future, new importations
and new generations of slaves shall be
permitted. satisfied that if they gain the
present they can control the future.
To this last barefaced vilIiany of the
Border %rufieu invaders, many of the
leading Northern Democrats are opposed.
Senator Douglas, and Forney, have come
out in plain and vehement condemnation
of the whole plan. declaring that the al
ministration panty is pledged to submit
The whole question and the whole Con
siitulion to the whole people.
We had expected that the whole
Democratic party north, would second
their favorite Douglas in his position
which he gave in the words Of his organ
the Chicago Times, last week, but it
seems we had miscalculated the amount
of trucking servility to the Rufisns
which some of our neighcors would be
guilty Of.
The Democrat Of last week justifes
the refu*al of The Bogus Convention to
submit the whole Constitution to The peo-
ple, and upon what ground! Why. that
the free State men ''have the power,
numerically" and the wiH to vote down
the Bogus Constitution!
Was the Ike ever seenl Because it i,
a notorious and admitted fact tL.st the
rufians have not the numbers to put
their constitution through by a vote,
THEREFORE they are right in putting it
through without a v>tel
We sincerely trust that our readers
will force upon the attention OF their Dem
ocrstic neighbors the position OF their
county paper, as compared with that of
Douglas d. Forney, and make them re-
member also that this same Democrat
has admitted. lime and again. that the
whole Border Rueian Legislature, with
I'll the acts under it were spurious, ille-
gil. and a disgrace 10 the county and
age. Keep the facts before the people.

DEcADEscE OF THE INDIAN RACE

DEcADEScE OF THE INDIAN RACE -
Mr.. A. H. Redfeld. Indian Agent for
the Upper Missouri, has recently trans
miited 10 the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs his annual report. From it we
learn that several of the tribes in ttat're-
gion have suffered terribly from the
small pox during the last year. Mr..
Ked6eld found thirty deserted lodges
near Font William, the owners of which
had perished by smallpox A few years
since the Mandans themselves numbered
over 500 lodges-now they cannot count
over 40 or 60.
The aboriginal inhabitants Of this
country are rapidly passing away. The
close of the presen: century will, in all
probability, witness their almost total eI
tinction. 1t is estimated that they now
number but about FIVE hundred thousand
