Freedom, national: Slavery, sectional!
The NEXT Great Fraud f!
Shall II be Successful ?

Democratic Administration to ensiave
Kansas, under the specious plea OF "poP
ular sovereignty" From the day OF the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise, until
Bnchauan declared that " Slavery exists
in Kansas under the U. S. Constitution,
there has been series of violations of
honor, frauds, falsehoois, usurpations,
lavlessness, robbery and murder-all sus-
tanned by Government officers, and power
civil and military. The only way the
people of the North we're pacifed from
rising and hurting the Democracy out OF
Office and under the deepest curses ever
hcaped upon men, was the reiterated asSer-
ton ard solemn promise-through the
press, and on the stump-from Pres. Bu-
chanan, Gov Geary, Gov. Walker-from
every Democratic paper and school-house
orator-that THE PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE
A FAIR CHANCE TO VOTE on THEIR Con-
srIrurIoS, and thus settle their domestic
institution to suit themselves S-Bu. for
aiis specific promise, Buchanan would have
been overwhelmingly defeated in every
Free State.
-.yop, how is it? The Bogus Con-
ventiou-boastiug that it did not represent
one seventh of the people-aud only ena-
bled to labor by being protected by U. S,
bayonets-retuse to submit their Constitu-
tion to the people,! 1t in mockery sub
mi,s one article respecting Slavery to a
vote, but THE CONSTITUTION ITSELF is
NOT to be submitted, and the Slavery ar
ticle neither establishes or abolishes Slave
", but leaves it in existence at any rate !.
buchanan not for Submission
rs~The Washington Union Of 2lst inst.
acknowledged as the Presidents organ
says that the Kansas question is now set
tled-and appears to approve the Border
Rutian Constitution, nor-submisslou and
all 1t gives as part Of the schedule
that in case the vote is for ''the Constitu-
uon with no Slavery" then there shall be
no slaves in Kansas crcept what are now
tLere.-The Eaioa article looks as if Bu-
chauau vas determined to force the Con
stitution through Congress without sub
mi.tiug it to the people.-It is rumorcd
that the forthcoming Message will argue
for sustaining this, just as the Democracy
have sustained every preceding outrage
How IL hs. Partyf
Congress meets Monday, Dec. I. The
Dem. have the maj, and the South have
the mai. of the Dem. OF course, Slavery
will demand and obtain the Speaker, who
will appoint Committees to aid in bringing
in the Slave Constitution Of Kansas as it
is. Orr Of sc. is their man, with Allen
OF Ill. (tho neaness doughface they can
fnd) for Clerk.
The South-as far as We see-demand
the admission Of Kansas with the uDsub-
mit.ed Constitution. After all the money
epeut and blood she'd by them, they do not
intend to risk the loss of all they have SC
long struggled for. Thcy are in earnest!
Tie Chicago Times, douglas organ,
of the 18th, considers the whole subject
very fairly, aud leans to q solution by al
original act of Congress, authorizing th'
People of Kansas to elect Convention tt
frame State Constitution. 1t concludes
"At all events, it should be remembered
that in 1854 the solemn pIedye was mad,
to the people of Kansas that they should
be free to regulate their own domestic in
s,itutions in their own way, and that whel
they, the people Of Kansas, had passed
Constitution to suit themselves, Kansas wa
70 be admitted into the Union. All actiol
by the Democratic party must have ii
view the faithful redemption Of tha
pledge. X Unless this Constitution
is submitted to fair vote of the real peo
pie Of Kansas, 1t is not roorth the paper 4
is ,criHen upon"
The Press, Col. Forney's paper, says o
the general doings Of the bogus COnven
ton:
"There is a consistent disregard OF tn
people manifested, cool resort to trick
and an utter shsmelessness, which alto
getber make up satire upon representa-
tive bodies such as We have never befor
had the luxury to enjoy. w
give in another column some of the doing
of this Convention and have only to sa
that if the Constitution fabricated by thu
body Is sent to Congress, We trust tha
short work viii be made of it. h6sse:rt
"othiny Jut contempt. If it has slngl
merit, it is its consistency with the frau
and wrong which it is intended to perpe'
uate, and from which in great part it ha
grown. In speaking of doing
ike these, We feel that it is idle to mine
phrases, and We sincerely hope that, if th
Constitution Of Kansas is anything lik
the instrument it promises to be from th
intelligence we lay before our readers thi
morning, it will, when presented to th
C.ngress Of lhe United States, be Mron
out Of both branches ty unanimous cot
Al any rate, we trust that the Senator
