1HR coHvEETIoF BILL.
This bill provides for another Constitu-
tional Convention, to sit at Wyandot in Ju-
iy next. in case majority Of the people
vote for it at the election on the fourth
Monday of March. The constitution is to
be submitted to the people for rejection or
approval at the October election, and If ap-
proved. State officers under it are to be cho-
sen in December. It is high time the peo-
pie should take the control of their own af-
fairs into their own hands. and ne believe
that the vote will prove that large major
ity are of that opinion.
REPEAL OF THE BOGUS LAWS.
There can be but one opizion as to this
measure. and the feeling of exultation that
has swept over the Territory as the news
has spread. tells the whole story It was

off the infamous work Of the Missouri In

throughout the world will stand the stronger

ABOLITION OF SLAVERY.
This measure, demanded by the whole

adopted by the House. and the bill duly
signed by the officers of both branches was

on Tuesday night. just three days and one
hour before the close of the session. AS
the Governor did not return the bill with
his objections within three days. of course
it has become law. Thanks to God that
the vile system can exist no longer in Kan
sas except as an unpunished crime, con-
niyed at it may be by those in high places,
but the representatives of the people have
declared it an outlaw. If the courts DON,
see 6t to execute it the people will.
NEW COUNTIES.
The Legislature has created seven nea
counties, to wit: Wyandot, out of parts
of Leavenworth and johnson, Chase out ol
territory taken from Wise and Butler, and

Fremont in the Gvld region. It also
changed the name of Richardson to Wa.

The name of Breckenridge county remains
the same, the general bill for changing the
names of counties having been defeated BY
the Council.
We have thus set forth some few things
done by the Assembly which We think de-
serving of credit; next week we propose &c
notice several things they refused to do, fol
