The only other clsuse of the Constitution Of special
interest o your Eastern readers il tho. which declares
that there .hal be Slavery in this State, and no
involuntary seryitude except for CRIME, whereof
the party shall have been duly convicted. IL Wal

A. Of delegates and citilens, held on Sae
dsy evening the Free State Central Committee were

| A noticeable remark two dropped incidentally
from the bps Of Lane during one OF the debates aoon
the clofe OF the Constitutional Convention lie ssd
that had to be educated up 70 his present pos
ton or the Slavery question. With his experience he
could not help but feel that there but one issue IN
the politics Of this country, but tha. WAS vial ONE,
being no less than desth struggle between Freedom
and slavery. One IDuSt Win OF tue osuoI' Ehu-
mnistraton represented the Pro Slavery the Free
State men Of Kansas were in the van Of Freedom.
Why" said he, "success is within our grhp. Let
there once be Presiden; elected who will distribute
the national patronage among the non,saveholding
population OF the South, and Slavery is blown higher
than kite"
The prevalent belief in lanes being addicted to Dis
sipation is entirely erroreous notwithstanding the
numerous stories TO the contrary started by the Bor-
der Rufan newspapers, and copied at the East. 10
silence them as /. him sacrifice, the General
recently concluded 20 join the Good Templars, and IS
now consistent member OF that worthy order.
