The question Of paramount interest is, how
AndWhsh shall this war tsrIhlnatey There has
bssnsO many speculations uron this question,
that We are almost afraid 10 answer il. The in.
dIeatiOns, from late votes taken in the House,
show, pretty eOnelusively, that the fscomptOn
Constitution cannot pass that branch Of the
national Legislature. The vote upon the report
Of the Special Committee on Kansas Affairs,
will perhaps be more decided against Lecomp.
ton than II was on the resolution to appoint that
Committee. The Constitution With slavery"
will doubtless pass the Senate, but without the
concurrence Of the House II will, Of course,
have 10 more effect, than to show the country
the sentiments Of that grave body.
Her slave Constitution rejected by Congress,

the nation has uttered At the wholesale frauds
that have been enacted there, has also brought
the pro,Slavery party into such bad oder, that
It wOuld, even &c they had the power, require
more nerve than they posses to attempt the like
again. The next issue must therefore be, in our
opinion, upon passage of the Enabling Aet,"
to authorize the election Of a new convention, to
form Constitution for Kansas to be submitted
to a free aud fair reception or rejection by tho
people Of that Territory, And now, what will

wemay soon look for peaceful termination Of
the Kansas difficulties
But suppose Congress should not sec a. to
grant an enablingaet The Legislature Of Kan.
Sas may at once order another convention, and
new Constitution, prohibiting slavery, fairly
formed and fairly accepted by the people, will
DO the result and Congress viii then be bound
to admit Kansas as--a freo State.
