The Kansas Constitution,

The Chicago Times, upon receiving a copy
Of the Kansas Constitution, says:
The slavery clause gives the Legislature
power to provide for emancipating (ly com
pensation to the owner) all slaves; but denies
the power to prevent the introduction o
more slaves. A vote "for the constitution
with slavery" is a vote to establish and for
ever maintain the institution, with the power
in the Legislature of emancipation. vote
''for the constitution withno slavery" is vote
to recognize the existence of slavery now
there, to keep those slaves who are now in
the territory, and their natural increase,
slaves during their lives, and is q vote to
"strihe out" the power of the Legislature to
emancipate. The constitution without sla-
very" means that slavery in the territory
shall be confined to those slaves down there,
and their increase from generation to genera
ton, with no power on the part of the Leg
islature to emancipate by compensation, or
any other way. The constitution with slave
ry allows more slaves to be brought to Kan
sas, but gives The Legislature power to pro-
vide for their emancipation.
We confess our inability to decide whirh of
these tDo alternatives Is the more 'pro-slapery.'
We incline to the opinion that the "constitution
with no Slavery" Is the more '"pro slapery."
