THE FRI TIL COMING OUT.

We have always been of the opinion that
there was more knaVrry than honesty IN the
agitation OF the slavery question, aud particu-
!arly that branch OF II which relates to Kansas
hat question has been Seized upon by design
ing politicians as means by which they can
get INTO aud keep themselves in power, and not
/ through any love Or respect for principle. All
/ ihe recent develcp pments on ihIs subject have
been calculated 10 strengthen our convictions
! IN tins respect ard we give below an extract
from the Kansas Daily Ledger, free State pa
per, which, 1t seems 10 US, ought to convince all
who have ever doubted as to the real cause of
the controversy. The Ledger SAYS:
''Niggers is not the great bone of contention
/ IN Kansas, and those who cry out most Justify
tor 'n'gSrT or @no nigser,' hav'nt money
enough, as grnel al thing. to buy a eplug of
tobacco WITH 7 le real bone of contention is
Po~er ondthe Spo Is and the poor niger is
made to bend and bow to suit the purpose of
these political det nagosurS, that they may ride
! INTO power aud obtain some of the Spaiis-nHd
f5at'S all. The free State party nor the pro-
| slavery party Of Kansas care ANYTHING about the
! moral condition ot the niggerS, but thry must
have a text 10 each from. and The poor nig-
ger has been preached in all his aspects through
out our land
! And upon the admission of Kansas into the
Union under the Lrcompton Constitution, the
same paper says;
"Let Congress attend to their own business.
and tet Us attend to ours. We have somethinG
more to accomplish besides the admission of
Kansas into the Union We want railroads
telegraphs, churches, common schools. and a
host OF other things OF minor importance. but
paramount to all these, zee 1oaat peace.''
And again
''Fhey the people of Kansasl are heartily
sick and tired of this internal niggpr agitation
they have bad surleh oft lit iaIures Their
business, blasts their prospects, aud keeps up
continual strife. Let Kansas be admitted into
the Union SOMEHOW or other, and with some
kind OF constitution, that we NAV have
peace"
These extracts show, what we have always
believed and insisted was the case, that it is
! for power and the Spoils that the Republicans
| OF the North, who have got up and kept alive
| TINS controversy, are conlending and that the
| people of Kansas themselves, no matter what
others may say or do, are sick and tired Of aqi-
tation. and anxious that it should be settled N
'he only way it can be seitied--by the prompt
and unconditional admission Of The Territory

The excitement in regard 10 the vexed ques-
ton of Kansas is rather on the wane and every
we'll disposed citizen is confident in the hope
that no new obstacle will be thrown in the
way Of peaceful solution of the matter. For
onr, | never could any good reason WHY
the country should again fall into another Kan
SaS fever. Certainly one would suppose Black
Republican doctors had bIedd that poor territory
sufficiently, and why men protesting TO Be
Democrats should have such an itching for a
rejuvenation Of 'bleeding Kansas" | cannot
imagine. 1t is certainly one Of the political
enigmas of the age.
A great deal has been said about the Lecomp-
I ton Constitution bring an imposition and fraud
upon the people of Kansas, but it turns out that
the people of that territory have finally endorsed
that instrument. W. have reliable informa-
ton here that, on the 4th inst, the people of
iKansas-prO-Slavrrv and free state men-all
turned out in their strength and elected, under
their constitution: State officers and members
ofthe Legislature II also turns out that the
tree-state men have triumphed, rlecting every
one Of their State officers, and decided major
lty OF the Legislature. So we see that while

a. II is now generally believed that some
Of the Abolition leaders in Kansas, are in league
with The Mormons Gov Denver in his last
message, speaks of secret society existing in
the Territory, closely resembling the ''DanIte"
organization OF the Mormons, the members of
which are sworn to murder all whose death their
leaders may require. It is said that the Ad-
miristraton have conclusive proofof Jim Lanes
completely with Brigham Young. This would
account for Lanes rebellious conduct in making
his demonstrations against the u. S. troops, his
object being to detain them in Kansas and thus
prevent their being sent 10 Utah II is also
alleged that the Kansas agent of the Abolition
Emigraut Aid Society is a Mormon.
G~The Kansas Legislature, on the DIST Mt,
passed a bill providing for a new Constitutional
Convention. The Convention is to consist OF
one hundred members, who are TO be chosen by
the people on the second Tuesday in March,
and to meet on the fifth Monday ofthr same
month. The Constitution formed by this Con-
venion is TO be Submitted to the people for
their adoption, or rejection, on the first Monday
IN MAY. Thus It will be seea that an arrange
ment TO secure to the people Of Kansas whatever
form Of Government they may desire, has been
perfected, which will be carried into effect
should the Lecompton Constitution be accepted
by Congress.
G-Oor State Legislature has as yet done
nothing OF importance. The Aboitlonists in
that body are at their old game of trying to leg
isate for Kansas instead of Pennsylvania. The
Democratic member who votes to give resolu-
tions on Kansas affairs, any other consideration
/ than to kick them out Of the Legislature, will
ere long see the day when be will be heartily
ashamed of himself. Mark the prediction
IA private letter from Harrisburg informs
Us that the House Of Representatives has fxe d
the 25th Of March, as the day Of final adjourn
.ment, and that the Senate will, doubtless, cen
cur IN the resolution.
We call the attention of our readers tc
the Communication lately made to the Lpgisla-
ture by the Surveyor General, which will be
found in our columns to-day. It is document
of reat interest.

More than three years have elapsed
aimee the Chronicle Office came into our
hands, and we have sent the paper to
our subscribers, each week, regularly,
during that time; and have not troubled
them with duns.
We are proud to say that a goodly
proportion of them have paid US regu-
larry, smother portion have paid US irreg-
alarly; but there is still another class,
numbering some hundreds. who have
paid us nothing.
In this last named class, are very
many who are substantial men, and per-
fectly responsible. but who have neglec
ted 10 pay their subscription from care
~lessness, or forgtfullness. We beg leave
to remind these that although six dollars
10 each one of them. is a small sum, that
same sum owed TO us by FIVE or six
hundred subscribers, amounts to a snug
little purse, in The aggregate.
We shall send bills this week, or the
next, TO all who are in arrears for three
years and over, and W hope tLey will
remit to US Immediately. and spare US
the trouble and expense of sending out

To those who send US seven dollars,
before the 10th of May, we win receipt
for three years back, and one year IN
advance.
