The arrangements for the celebration OF
the Fourth of July have, so far, satisfacto-

Templars, from other places, have officially
notified the Committee that they will be
present, and a number more are expected.
The Committee appointed to obtain sub
scriptions have succeeded in obtaining
quite sum from the citizens of Lawrence.
The ferries over the river have been char
tered for the occasion. The arrangements
are on liberal scale, and do credit to the
principles they are intended to celebrate,
as we'll as to the patriotism of our people.

and will officiate on the occasion -

9 Immigration has nearly closed for
the season. There are continued arrivals
of teams with families overland. butthere
is no comparisonin point of numbers With
what was the case three and four weeks
ago. The heavy immigration this year
hiss visited the valleys of the Big Blue,
Republican, and Smoky Hill. though
thousands have made their way to the
Neosho. and Walnut creek. Indeed. of
the Immigration which has arrived in
Lawrence, it has seemed to Us that the
entire tide was directed to Emporia, and
points beyond that place. There is an
immense country there, as also on the
smoky Hill. which viii accommodate an
immense emigration with just IS good
lands q there are IN the world.

BLAck-REpUBLIcAN CONSISTENCY.

With few exceptions, those who oppose the adj
mission of Kansas into the Union under the constit-
ton framed at Lecompton favor its reception under
that manufactured by the bogus convention at To-
peka. The latter, they profess TO think is model
of Justice and wisdom, while the former is full of
grave objections one of the gravest of which is the
following provision
.SEc IA After the year one thousand eight hundred
and sixtyfour whenever the legislature shall think it
necessary amend alter and change this constitution
they shall recommend to the electors at the next general
election of the members of each house
ring to vote for against calling convention.
This provision, it is commended, prevents any al
teration or amendment Of the constitution until after
the year 1864. Suppose it does, (which We by no
means admit with what consistency can the friends
of the Topeka constitution object to it, when they
know that that constitution contains the following
stringent prohibition against alteration and amend
ment
q. SIC A. No convention for the formation Vt new
constitution shall be called. and amendment to the
constitution shall by the general assembly be made DO

the occasion, and explanations have been exchanged
the subject between the Secretary of the Navy and
Lord Cowley. AS sort of conciliatory measure, the
British cabinet has proposed to the French to employ
instead Of free negroes from Africa Scpoy prisoners
be provided by the East India Company. The role Of
ailor for England would certainly not he voraby view

to understanding, but in the meanwhile steam
