the occurrence OF violent scenes Of disorder sod party
stiife both in and out Of ttis devoted Territory.
The condition Of Kansas, then, according to The
P,nnssiran'on, is like that of the weather reported
by the pl,yer F0ote, who, having been asked "
walk by lady, and having declined on account OF the
rain, was soon after met rambling sOtW BY said
lady and to her natural question. So it has clear
" ed of, Mr.. Foote ~ drily answered, "fes, 1t has
:" cleared of enough fox one, but not for two.
Kansas is very orderly and tranquil, il her Tranquil
lily can be placed to the credit of Mr. Buchanan;
but if We there upon ask that she be allowed to vote
upon her own Constitution il seems that che Is not
Tranquil enough to justify the hszardng Of that dire
experiment. Ard The Pennsyr0nisn understands
perfectly that allowing her to vote upon the LIZ
compton Constitution will inevitably result in her
voting it down.
But Tie Pennsylvania objects especially 10
commencing de moro the work of making new
Government" in Kansas, and thus retailing her In
Territorial vassa'age for another year. THE, 1t
seems, in cur cotemporarys estimation, is likely to
provoke the occurrence of violent scenes Of dis
"Order aud party btrfe both in and out Of the de-
"voted Territory" This delay, We understand
The Ptnnsyiranidn to deprecate-n we certainly
DO We propose plan by which it may easily and
surely be avoided:
The People Of Ksnsas-at least, the Free-State
majority of them-bave just framed another State
Constitution at LeavenwOrth, that which they
first framed at Topeka rot having been accepted by
Congress This Consttution has been submitted
for popular adoption or rejection on the third Tres
day i'll My pex.. 1t seems that tins Constitution
is OBJ oxous 10 conservatives" and "NatioDal
"mep becauseit has not provided for the exclusion
cfnegrces from electoral rgbt. snd will be opposed
by quite humber Of Frce-State meD. This, OF
course is so much advantage to LecOmptob; but
never mind that. Ne propose that Congress shat
yforthuih dir,ot that the Lecompton and the Lsdcen-
uo7h Constitutions be submitted together on the day
just nom,d. and that ,rhichSoerer ShaH reoeirs
majority Of their rOfes shall be accepted and
,tgoYded as The Constitution Of Kansas. Let
the Governor and Secretary of the Territory,
with the President Of the Council and Speaker of
the House two Of each party, make all the requi
site arrangements, count the votes and declare the
result. Thus Kansas will be in the Union within
sixty days at fai thest with State Government
and fall delegation in Congress fresh from the peo-
pie. The whole controversy will in this way be
speedily erded, popular Sovereignty be fully
vildicated AID general tranquility insured.
What il The answer to this proposition What
excuse can any advocate of Democracy have for
rejecting it? We know, from the letters of our
friends in Kansas and the votes of Our~fiiends in
Congress, that they will very gladly consent thus
to remit the whole controversy and have it settled
by fair vote. How is it with the other side
What says The Ptnnsy'ranian?
Our contemporary would like to discuss with US
the consistency of our support of the Crittenden-
Montgomery substitute, ard we have no objection;
though cur consistency is avery subordinate matter
to tie prompt and thorough settlement of the
Kansas troubles Briefly: We support the Crit
tenden MOI gomery amendment because we feel
sure that its success will Kansas from mis-
government and oppression, and bring her speedily
into the Union Free State. We deem this reason
enough A. to tie admission Of more Slave States
we propose to deal with that question whenever it
shall be practically Pre.ented.
