The New Constitution PROPOSED FOR
X ,>sAs-The New York Times publishes
in full the Constitution adopted by the re-
cent Territorial Convention of Kansas
and also correspondence. giving a brief
sketch Of it, character. 1t appears from
thi, that, although Kansas is to be made
free State, "Sambo" is pretty nearly
PLAYED out in Kansas; in fact, was quite
,habhily treated by his grandiloquent and
pretended friends and defcnders-the
Black Rrpublicans-in the Convention.
We make the following extracts from the
correspondence" published in the Times:
If YOU will run your eye carefully over
the new Constitution, YOU will find that it
contains nothing to which the Democracy
could really take exception-ior on the
negro question there is very little real diff
/ ference now between the Republicans and
/ the Democrats of Kansas. Compare the
/ present organic act with the draft of the
| Bill of Rights submitted early i'm July, and
/ YOU will observe that wherever in the lat
| ter any specially Auti-Slayery provision or
/ qualification was inserted, q has J,rB struck
/ l.f f. tr actual instrument The people of
/ Kansas NAV ratify the Constitution now
| framed. and probably will. since the inter-
e~ts enlisted in support of 1t are on the
I whole the heaviest in the Territory; and
don't mean TO deny that II l. on the
whole quite tit to be- ratified; but if its
passage or ratification are quoted a prov
ing the Anti-~layery temper Of Kansas,
the Anti->lavcry men Of the East will do
well 10 look to the facts before lifting their
voices i'm shouts of JOY. Take few in
| stances. The first article of the Bill of
Rights reported in July recited the ' in
alicnahle rights of all men to the control
of their own persons This clause has
disappeared il is probably buried in a lot
on CapItol--quarc al Topeka. In the Bill
at Rights a. reported. the right of trial
" jury was extended to persons of all
conditions" On this head discreet i,

II the Democrats could have secured
their objects in the way of location
they would have made no difficulty with
, the Constitution. But, however concilia

on the mere question Of Republican prin

set their faces a. flint against any tam
