Kansas Convention.

LEAvENwoRTH, July 29-1he Conslitu-
tioual Convention bas nearly completed its
labors, aud will probably adjourn to morrow.
The Constitution is radically anti-slavery but
il differs from the Leayenworth instrunlent in
asmuch as il does lot extend the rights OF
suffrage 10 negroes, According to its pro-
visions the Legislature will consist Of seventy
two Representatives and twenty-one Senator's.
The business Of the Convention mas been
disposed of with tolerable expedition the
questions of apportlonment or the State and
the location Of the temporary capital being the
only measures that offered serious obstaces.--
Topeka was selected as the temporary capital,
the town of Lawrence being competitor. The
efforts of the partisans of both places revealed
considerable corruption, both inside and outside
of the Convention, and one or more
members are implicated in charges Of
bribery. The Indications are that the raiif-
cation of the Constitution will be vigorously
opposed by the Democracy, as all the strong
measures advocated by the latter, including the
annexation of tho Platte district, the exclusion
of free negroes, the prohibition of bank issues,
and the preservation of the present western
boundary, which embraces the gold regions,
have been defeated.

NORTHERN DEMOCRATS Senator Brown
pays the Northern Democracy the following
compliment:
''The only hope of the Southern Democracy
is TO make fight in the Charleston Convention;
to 60 there determined 10 have their views in
corporated In the creed of the party, or break
up toe concern in row. have no doubt, as
the South heretofore controlled the party on all
great questions, that the Northern Frse>Soil
element will again yield in graceful submission.
Ii they do not, why then apply the torch to
the great temple of Democracy, and blow the
concern 10 flinders. Rather than see the party
destroyed, the North, which doesn't cale for
principle, will allow anothing to be incorpora-
ted into the creed"

Geo. w. Williams. Esq.

This gentleman, our very popular candidate
for the Legislature, has been, apd still is, week
iy, abused and misrcpresented, by the Gazette,
on account Of his vote to prevent the intermar-
riage Of whites and blacks, in the last Legisla-
ture. The bill was introduced by Locofoeo
member for the purpose of making political cspi-
tai Messrs. n ILL and GOEPP the two leading
members OF the Locofoco party in the House,
opposed it on the ground of its being uncon-
stitRioaaf. Some Of both sides voted for it,
and some agains. it. Any unconstitutional act
ought 10 be unceremoniously kicked out OF the
Legislature, aud Mr. Williams did right 10
voting with MILL of Franklin and others OF
both parties against the bill. Besides even if
il was constitutional, bill is not necessary, in
Mr.. Williams district to prevent intermarriages
of whites and blacks, thing almost unheard
of heretofore. How would Pennsylvania look
in the eyes of the world, If she would confess,
as she would BY the passage of such an absurd
Law, that her people were so mush in the habit
of marrying negroes, shat she had to pass q
Law to prevent it! Bah!
Americans aud Republicans are not aboli-
tionists. They do not wish to place the negro
on an equality with the white man. All they
wish to do is to prevent negro labor from com
ing into competition with free white labor and
TO secure this result they oppose the extension
of slavery into the territories. They do not
wish to interfere with slavery where it now ex-
lists. In the late Kansas Constitutional Con-
vention, where the Republicans. had a majority
of more than two to one, they put clause into
the Constitution preventing the negro from,
rotingi If they were Abolitionists would
they have done so This is the true position
of the Peoples Party of Pennsylvania, and to
this position does Mr. Williams hold. The
Gassite may yelP away-it cannot injure Geo.
w. Williams, or cause one sensible mac of the
opposition to vote against him.

Our Legislative Ticket.

Ga Tuesday of last week, the American Re-
publican Convention of Bedford County placed
10 nomination rs a candidate for the Legisla-
ture, our late member, George w. Williams,
Esq, This completes our Legislative ticket for
the district.
The honest, fearless, straightforward course
of Dir. Williams during the last session enti-
tied him to denomination, and we are graft
fed that our friends in Bedford marked their
appreciation of his services, as did our party in
this county those of George 6. Walker, Esq,
by giving them both unanimous vote for re-
nomination. Our worthy Representatives must
feel greatly pleascd-and deservedly so-with
so fattsrirg testimonial of the esteem!of thoir
fellow citizens os Bedford and Somerset coun-
ties. OF their reelection there is no doubt
Somerset Whig.
