lrHn KANsAs ELECTION.


The peopleof Kansas have voted to reject the and
ordnance, attached to the Lecompton CONSTITUTION
as condition precedent to admission into the Union
by an overwhelming majority Consequently, and
as we have often predicted, the ConstltaNof, the
labors of the Convention winch framed 10 ana I'VE
months bitter and irritating agitation IN Congress-
have all come to notfing-worse than nothlng-lot
unfavorable and lnetlaceable impression mas peen
left behind, which can only aggraVate IN tutare'
whenever the question comes up again.
AS we anticipated this result as we, from the
first told our readers that the idea OF making great
cardinal principle dependent upon the acceptance or
rejection OF paltry land grant, was distasteu to u.s.
as we were not among those who rejoieed over the
socaled final settlement of the Kansas question as
we toretod that what has been done would be done
and predicted that final ana honorable adjustment
was further distant than ever, it would be supeTerog
atOry for us to say that we are disappointed We
are net disappointed in the smallest particular nor
are we disposed to greve over what has occurred
VIC mean eyer the manner in which the people OF
Kansas have seen proper to cast their votes In fact
we are almost inclined to think that good may yet
come out of what has hitherto been regarded by
many scores of thousands as an irremediable evil
One fact however, is certain and well known to
the Southern people,; and if they profit in the future
from the facts we are going to cite they may be the
gamers. If they do not they will be the losers, as
they have been in all struggles and compromises
