WHO ACTIVITIES NOW ;

Peace peace ~ has been lamcntation
aud hyprocritica wall among our opponents ;
agitation an alarm cry The olive branch is
now held out and agitation may be banishcd
from our national councils by placing the dcs-
tiny Of Locompton in the hands Of the people
Of Kansas as the Democracy desired in days
gone by, but to-day the Democracy will not
submit to such course. They ropudiatc
their original platforms have deserted their
original landmarks and now mock the chan
ccs of peace and a cessation Of bitter agita-
ton. The NJ Y TriJupe states the case fair
ly as follows:
"Well, gentlemen we call you to witness
that the anti-Iocompton side Of Congress has
conceded all that can reasonably be required
Of them, yourselves being judges. The last
House of Representatives voted twenty months
ago to admit Kansas into the Union under
the Topeka Constitution but the Senate em-
phatically refused. Had the Senate then con-
cured with the House, BLEEDING Kansas
would have ceased 90 blood eighteen months
ago and all would long since have been peace
and progress in this quarter Now your side
in turn present a bill for her admission, and
we accept it with the single condition that
the People of Kansas, at an election 90 be
held as soon as may be, under the auspicc.
and control of the Presidents Governor and
Secretary on the ono hand, and the President
of the Territorial Council and Speaker of the
House on the other, shall rahiy the constitu-
ton you endorse If not, they shall proceed
iorthwithto form a new one, under which they
shall be admitted without further action oil
Congress This is the whole of the House
amendment, which the Senate has Just flung
back this is all the remaining ground of tho
strife. We take your Lccompton Consttu.
ton, eternal slavery and ali. provided th,
People of Kansas do not see ht to reject it
and form new ono instead You say they
arc tired of agitation wc admit IT, You say
the country is weary Of this strife SO be it
You say you wish TO locaizc this Kansas tcut
and take it out of Congress: we are with yo,
there again. You say the People of Kansa
arc resigned to the Iccompton instrument
and prefer to ratfy it rather than plunge into
further sea of agitation We say, Thcr
they will SO vote and end the controversy q,
you wish We ask only that they be allow
ed TO decide this matter for Themselves
You are right as 20 their disposition, YOU hay,
only to accept the Crittondcu substitute. and
all is settled as you would have il. And Il
you arc not right on the question of fact
the People Of Kansas do intensely hate and
obhor that Lccompton Constitution as the
offspring of fraud and imposture the consum-
nation of "a long series of outragcs and viii
loinies TO which they have been subjected
by what right, or what protest will you force

IHE CONFERENCE CoMMurTEE.-The Joint
committee of Conference on the Kansas bill
met on Monday, all the members being pres
ent' Mr.. Green, on behalf of tho majority Of

posed notifications of the Senate bill. mono
of which proved acceptable to the House
Committee.
Propositions were then solicited from the
House Committee. Mr.. English responded
that at the next meeting he would submit
now bill, the precise character Of which has
not trauspired but it is understood to be
new line proposing substitute for the Lee
compton ordinance and that the question of
admission under the Lccompton Constitution
be referred to fair vote of the people of
Kansas at an early day. If the majority vote

population there equals the number required
for a member in the U. S, House of Repre-.

Up to the time of going to press we do not
learn the fate Of Mr. English's proposition.

The DnFERENcE.-The Leavenworth
correspondent of the Missouri Democrat
speaks in the following terms of the compo-
siton of the Constitutional Convention which
has Just closed its lobors at Leavenworth
Because Of one thing, at least, Kansas may
be proud of the body of men by which her
people have been represented here. Of the
whole number, very large majority never
drink liquor, and during the entire session
not single member was intoxicated. When
the labors were completed instead of having
a carousal, the members parted from each
other with good feeling and sober. They
feel sanguine that the constitution they now
present to the people for approval or rejection
will not only be ratified but will. eventually.
be the fundamental law of Kansas. They re-
turn to their homes to enlist the people in
the movement, and to labor to secure the
nomination of good State and Legislature
ticket
This is in complete contrast to the abap-
donod crew that concoctod the stupendous
swindle known as the Lecompton Constitu-
ton. The last night of the session of that
deleotable body was one of the most shame
less scenes of carousal ever bcheld in anv SO
called public body in this country. II was

THE New KANSAS CONSTITUTIONS The
ST. Louis papers have received the Constitu-
ton adopted by the recent Convention held at
Leayenworth. The document is quite lengthy.
The following are its most prominent points
of interest.
The ordinance provides for the applica-
ton Of the public lands to be received from
Congress for railroad purposes to the CON
struction of four lines of railroads-one
across north Kansas westwardly: one across
central Kansas, westwardly; one across south
Kansas, westwardly; and one across the
State from north to south The termini OF
these roads is left to be determined in the flu
turo. liberal portion of the public lands is
applied to the creation of a common school
fund The bill of rights is fully up to high
water mark, being copied in many parts from
the old Virginia bill of rights of l776 Sla-
very is stricken out at a single blow The
right of trial by jury is rendered inyiolate in
all cases whatsoever. No man can be de
prived of his liberty or property without the
Judgment of his peers. Women are afforded
equal rights with men in regard to property,
and in the control and protection of their
children. homestead of 60 acres is pro-
vidod for each family. Schools are to be free
to every child in the State. The single dis
trict system is to be adopted for members of
the general assembly. The first legislature
is to submit the question of a location of the
capital to tho people, and is also to provide
by law for the submission of the question of
universal suffrage to a vote of the people I:
meanwhile the right Of suffrage, as provided
by the laws of the territory, is to be oxorcis-
cd by male citizens of the United States over
