The Kansas Conference Com mittee-strong
Symptoms Of a Dead Failure.


According to all accounts from Washington.
the prospect of compromise in the Kansas
Conference Committee is exceedingly slim The
simple tact that the majority of the Senate CON-
mittee are unconditional Lecomptoo men, while
the majority OF the committee on the part Of the
House are equally committed to the "coodition
precedent OF the submission of the Lecompton
constitution to the popular vote, Is almost COZ
elusive Of q dead failure to agree. 10 fact, from
the competition of the committee. and from the
cross purposes Of the parties involved in 1t, we
think that We may safely proces at once to dis
cnss the main question, upon the failure of tue
Conference us q foreeone conclusion.
Kansas hss be- particularly blest with State
constitutions She has he'd three framed al
ready. and before hs admission into the Uaon
.he may It'll be required to get up the fourth.
OF the three framed. the frst-the Topeka con-
stitution-was accepted by the anti-democratic
Bouse Of Representatives at Washington
in 1856; but 1t vcs coutem p,uously
Licked out OF the democratic Senate, as lacking
The very fret requirements OF legal authority
Tho Lecompton constitution was t1e next: bat
tbst, although clothed with all the legal forms
and authority witch the case called for, has
hcen rejected by the present House Of Represen-
tstives on the plea that il il " swinde" and
ans not submitted to the popular vote by the
Convention. The third, or Lesvcoworth con-
stiiuiion. has been worked up in Kansas since
the presentation by the President Of the lie
compton document TO Congress A special
messenger, direct from Kansas, has just arrived
in Washington with this new volunteer cousti-
tuition. and we perceive that Mr.. Seward. in the
Committee Of Conference, proposes that IL shall
sholly supersede the Lecompton programme.
But Why all this difbcultys The Topeka, Lee
compton and Leavenworth constitutions are
substantially the same, except upon the subject
Of slavery. But that is exactly where the shoe
pinchcs The law and the legal Irregularities re-
quired are all in favor OF the Lecompton con-
sttution. Those points being all that the Pre-
sident was authorized TO look to, he accepted
that constitution and recommended IL to Con-
gress. But, on paper, IL makes Kansas
slave State, and an ultra slave State.
That's the trouble To he sure. this
recognition Of slavery in Kansas is nothing
more than scsrecrow; but II has efrectually
served its purposes as a scarecrow among the
political iugglers of Congress, North and South.
II is because Of the extent to which they have
used IL for their sectional, fsctious and selfish
purposes that we fear every attempt now at a
common halfway houe Of ssrccmen. will
utterly fail
The question among these juggling polit-
clans Of Congress is not the question of the le-
galiiy or propriety of admitting Kansas under
THE, that or the other constitution; bat il is
