The Bee, OF Saturday morning last concludes an
able article on the Kansas question: with the sub.
joined appropriate and well considered observations
We may be told that this Kansas question is an abb
straction. True, in one sense it may be so. What
ever may be the form 10 which Kansas will enter the
Union readily concede that she is unlikely to con-
tnue slave holding State But the issue involved is
not whether slavery shall permanently exist in Kan
sas, but whether Congress- will create The precedent OF
Tgtusrg to admit State because its organic iair re-
cognizes that domestic Institution The action of the
House OF Representatives has an awful squirting
in that direction. The Black Republicans were not
strong enough absolutely reject the Kansas Consti
tuition, though that motion to that effect
every one Of the ninetyiye Northern Freesoilers
voted aye But falling in this, they manifested their
rancorous hostility to the South by unanimously sus-
tanning the Crittenden amendment. Does any man
doubt for single instant that If the Black Repnbl-
were in the asceAdeBey in both branches OF Con
gress, they would hesitate to reject the Lecompton
Constitution and admit Kansas under the spurious
instrument framed at Topeka Now, unfortunately,
the next Congress promises TO be largely Freesoi,
and indicate that whenever the Northern
Abolifionsts are numerous enough to control egisa
ton they will carry into effect their cherished dogma
Of no more slave States' We are lar from being
aarfnists, and million of leagues from being dis
unonists but we do say that these things must give
us pause and that it the South is wise she will
look the future in the face co0lly aud resolutely and
be prepared for every emergency. If in a Demo-
cratic House Of Representatives Kansas fails because
chance will the South have of extending her institu-
tons when the government falls into the hands of the
Black Repubicansg
The Bee puts the case plainly and fairly. The ma
teria question involved really is as our contemporary
tersey states it, whether Congress will create the
precedent of refusing to admit State because its
organic law recognizes the institution of domestic
slavery The whole subject of this protracted and bit
ter Kansas controversy hinges upon the slavery point
Had the slavery clause in the Constitution been re-
jected, we would have heard nothing about election
frauds in Kansas and that Territory would have been
admitted as State without the least trouble.
The Black Republicans are struggling to establish
just such precedent as the one alluded to. And
they will establish it, in some shape or other this
session Of Congress. Kansas will not be allowed 10
come into the Union under the original Lecompton
Constitution. Mark the prediction
And, if in Democratic Senate and House of Re-
personalities, the application of Kansas" appo-
sitely remarks onr downtown contemporary, fails
because its Constitution recognizes slavery. what
earthly chance will the South have of extending her
institutions when the Government falls into the hands
OF the Black Republicans n What chance, we rei,-
crate. viii some of the " Union-at-any.price gen
tlemen be good enough to vouchsafe little Informs
tiOn in the premises They certainly ought to do
something for the enlightenment Of the community
