Senator Brown for the South takes precisely the same
ground relative To the right Of the people Kansas or
any other State TO alter amend abolish their oonst
which is taken by the President That ground can be
successfully maintained against all opposing argument
from whomsoever it may come; and, such beng the
case there be doubt that the people STATE

less time than they begin under vet he
passed and frame State constitution and procure ad-
mission into the Union This fact should have its weight

The question of the admission of Kansas is plain
The people Of Kansas, through their delegates
in convention, elected for that special object have made
a constitution. If the majority OF the people
represented il is because the majority deliberately agreed
before the election not TO vote thereby asserting the
legal action Of the minority. The constitution adopted
by the convention is before Congress. The mem
hers already know much about it they can ever
know. Hartford Daily Times.
