A coyerpm.n. OUTSIDE q. union.

1t has been denied that il was the in.
tention of the Topekites to set theil
Leavenworth Constitution into operation
until we were admitted formally as q
State into the Union under that Con.
stitution. We gave long article las
week in confirmation of that statement
yet to some that article seemed unsatis.
factory. We have the Topeka Tribune
the organ of that faction before US, dated
May 9Th, and find its leading editorial
headed An Example" The editor
then goes On to say that Minnesota has
set an example of independence worthy
of imitation by the Legislature of Kan
sas" in providing that "the new Constitu-
ton and State Government shall go into
operation independent of the action Of
Congress" Further down in the article
he says:
We hope the people of Kansas viii
profit by this example, and should Con-
gress longer delay that measure of justice
which we so long in vain demanded, let
the peoples government beinstituted at once
in al its branches and let us teach the one
idea politicians at the capital, that they
cannot trife with IMMUNITY with the
rights of sovereign people. Let US not
always supplicate, but demand, conscious
of the business of our position"
In the same paper it is announced that
the Lecompton Swindle had passed
through Congress, and yet the editor is
talking about organizing all the branches
of government under the Leavenworth
Constitution and teaching Congress its du-
ty towards US, not by application" but
by demand which the Federal Govern
ment will not dare resist.
In view of this policy, openly avowed
by the radicals, the duty of the people
towards the Leavenworth affair can no
longer be in doubt. We regret the po-
sition had not been earlier before the pub
lie, so that the issue could have been
brought directly before the people, but as
there is not time to let it be understood
in distant localities ofthe Territory, those
the nearer home must work the harder to
defeat them, and that, not by remaining
away from the polls, but in going out in
their full strength and Uoting it doaOn
One Topeka Constitution is enough for
one generation.

Water al Emporia.

Those of our readers who are interested
in Emporia will be rejoiced to learn that
an abundance of living water has been
found in that town, about one hundred
yards from the central and business por-
ton of the place, at depth of t,oenty
feet from the surface. The Town Compa-
ny have expended near three thousand
dollars in an Intellectual effort to obtain
water, and had about determined to put
in machinery and supply the place with
water from the Cottonwood. The reader
can Judge of their delight to learn that a
private individual has found the long
looked for treasure, flowing through bed
of course gravel so near the surface. Mr..
HAMMOND has the honor of making this
important discovery. THERE'S not town
in Kansas, away from the Missouri or
Kansas river, so eligibly situated, and
possessing such natural advantages as En-
poria. Il is in the heart of the most
prosperous part of the Territory, and the
natural center for an area of full forty
miles square, and on the great highway
for all that region lying on the Upper Ar
kansas and It's tributaries. Nature seems
to have favored it IN every respect. The
delay in procuring water has checked its
progress, but it viii commence anew and
increase in prosperity as has no other in-
land town in the Territory. The effect
of the news on the price of town property
has been to make holders rather cautious
in disposiDg of it.

Waste of Effort.

What does any one hope from the Lea
wentworth Constitution ? Since the pas
sage of the English Bill there can arise
no contingency by which it can become
the fundamental law of Kansas. 1t can
not be set in motion as revolutionary
government, for tits violently opposed by
more than two-thirds of the populationof
Kansas. 1t has been suggested that it
will serve to keep set of men, who
must be active for evil, engaged for a
time until some legitimate business pre-
sents itself for their consideration.
Three constitutions, and yet outside Of
the Union," with a certainty of remain
ing SO for months and perhaps years
There is a consolation in knowing that
the next constitution framed for Kansas
will become the supreme law of the State,
and that all parties will participate in the
election of delegates to a convention call
ed for that purpose. Till then, let US Ia
Dor to get nd of the excrescences which
are in the way of healthy action in the
premises.

Lane. convay, and Philips.

We have had occasion more than once
to speak of the extreme modesty of the
men whose names head this article. Wm
a. Philips is the correspondent of the
New York Tribune. Almost every letter
be writes mentions Wn. 4. Phillips" as
having made some great speech, on some
great occasion, or with having done some
other great thing worthy Of special men,
ton. He does not stop here but he Ia
bors for other letter writers to keep their
names before the country. and these let
ter writers in turn, labor to keep Phil
lips in conspicuous position. In short
+" I'LL puff you if you'll puff me-" is their
motto and practice.
We noticed an instance of f-lauda-
ton two or three weeks ago, from Ihacher
who edits the hebdomidal over the way,
wherein, speaking of himself, he had oc-
easion to say that T. Dwight Tbacher
made the ablest speech which has yet
been made before the Convention" allud-
ing to his efforts in the Constitutional Con-
yention.
In letter in the semi-weekly Tribune
of April 9th, we find letter From our
special Correspondent" who all the world
knows is Philips, from which we extract
the following paragraph the writer is
abiding to meeting held at the Unita-
rian Church in this city. the night previ-
GUS, to the same in which Gen. Lane ex-
pressed his desire that the people of Kan
sas would send him to the Senate of the
United States so he would be the peer of
Senator DOUGLAS, and would lift the chal-
lenge he had given that Senator two
years ago. Philips remarks
The speakers were Gen. Lane, Judge
Conway, 7. Dwight Thacher and VIM. A.
Phillips. At the close of his speech, Gen.
Lane announced himself as acandidate for
the United States Senate. The people
at the first election are to indicate their
choice by their votes, which is to be a
sort of instruction to the Legislature.
Gen. Lane said that he did not desire to
get the place through any intriguing with
Legislature, and only if he was the
choice Of the people for that position.
Comments seem needless. Lane, Con-
way, Thacher and Phillips Lane an
! nounced HIMSELF candidate for the Sen
ate Did not wish to intrigue with the
Legislature He was Gen. Lane, and he
desired the people to make everything
hinge upon his election to the Senate
His darling scheme was defeated at Tope-
ka, the place of his desire for converting
the State Convention. Though he bent
heaven and earth, as did his friends, yet
he could not, in a Convention composed
almost exclusively of those who profess
to "belong to the Abolition wing of the
Free State party" get q nomination, but
was handsomely laid out, done for, and
fused ups generally, and came home
without nomination.
Lane, Conway, Thatcher and Phillips"
have yet to learn, when the issue shall be
made directly with the people, that their
policy in Kansas affairs is not approved.
They can succeed in packing conventions
to their will, and can express their policy
thousand times ON paper, if they choose.
but when the first test shall come they
will learn sad lesson which they have
hardly dared to dream of yet.

next Tuesday; and remember that one vote
may be sufficient to prevent the fre-eat-
ers who are put in nomination, from using
that Constitution to the great detriment
of the interests of the Territory. Don't
neglect then, to cast that vote Against

Two Sides.

Dir. CANIFF writes us from Prairie City
that our remarks of last week in regard to
outsiders coming in and controlling the
election of delegates to the county Con-
vension in that city, are incorrect; that
but fourteen persons in all came in, and
he claims they had a right to do so, as
they were residents of Calhoun township,
though uotresidents of Prairie City, where
they cast their votes. This question. like
most Others, has two sides, and presents
different phases to different persons occu-
plying different stand points.

rour friend MILLER, of the White

regard to the Topeka State Convention.
lie stated on the day the Convention was
in session, that the true men Of the party
would be pitched overheard, Parrott
among the number, TO make room for
Phillips, Conway, and others of the same

could not hare predicted the result with
greater precision. We are half inclined

OF Gen. Lane says. however much he
may deprecate the fact; it is nevertheless
true that negroes are not citizens of the
United States" In this he differs with
the masses of the Republican party. and
vet he hopes to be their candidate for the
Presidency in 1860. or in 1864 at farthest.

of real live Prince. A correspondent OF
