Surprising a Case.

we do not mean TO suppose that they will
have any desire to do justice to the peo-
pie Of Kansas but they may see that it
will be fatal to the Democratic party if
they reject her, and may admit her on
that score-supposing then. we say, that
they admit her, for the sake Of party, and
she takes her place as a sovereign and
independent State: won't those Demo
cratic Delegates who refused to sign the
Constitution. fell rather fat? There will
be State, with q Constitution accepted
BY Congress. and the names Of its trainers
will be found attached but alas where
will be the names of those patriotic Dem
ocrats? There will be the names Of
WincheIl, Thacher, Kingman. Houston,
May. Richie. Mccullough, and many
others but where will be the name Of
Wrigley. of Stinson. Of Mcdowell, Of
Slough. Of FOrman ?-(God save the
King y Echo answers, Where ?"
Sometimes these worthless will have oc.
casion to refer to the Constitution, to
solve knotty point, (Perhaps in refer
ence to niggers. and their eyes will fall
upon the names Of its trainers but they
will find no Wrigley. no Stinson, no
Mcdowell. no Slough, no Forman there.
In long after years, when many Of the
Delegates have passed away, the papers
will name the few surviving trainers Of
the first Constitution of Kansas. Most
Of the Democratic Delegates may still be
living-they will read the names of the
survivors and each one viii think: al
was there, and was a member of the Con-
vention, yet my name is not mentioned
here u lie will likewise know lUhy his
name is not mentioned but he will say
nothing about tit will make him feel
bad i! 1t would not be surprising, in af-
ter years, to see these fellows have the
impotence to come ont and acknowledge
that they skunk away from the Conven-
ton, just for the sake of getting people to
recognize them as members Of the Con-
vention that framed the first Constitution
of Kansas. The document may occasion
ally be published in the papers, as the
Declaration of Independence now is. In
looking over the names Of the signers, as
published in the Democratic papers, the
reader will be somewhat amused, as well
as startled, to see the names Of the seven
teen boilers there enrolled We would
suggest to said boilers, that they employ
the Democratic presses to print few ex-
ira copies of their papers containing the
Constitution. with the names of the bolt
ers added to the list of signers, for their
own private use, to be prepared for future
contingencies
But hold their names will be handed
down to posterity. nevertheless T! Will
not the official journal Of the Convention
be published, and fled away in the ar
chives Of the State, and in the library OF
the politician? There the names Of those
Democrats will stare the reader in the
face from every page. There the future
seeker after knowledge will read that Mr..
Wrigley offered an amendment, prohibit
ing niggers from sinking when they sweat;
that Mr.. Mcdowell offered a substitute,
providing for the curtailment of niggers'
shins, and complained that some one had
stated his age to be 81 years that Mr..
Stinson offered section to distinguish
niggers from white people; that Mr..
Slough submitted a Resolution, limiting
the number of kinks in niggers' wool /;
that Mr.. Formsn voted against making
Kansas Free State; that Mr. Hubbard
read protest, insisting that somebody
wanted to buy him; that Messrs Perry,
Parks, Brown, Stisrwalt, Mcclellan,
Moore, Barton, ct cetera, offered some
wise provision. the object of which was
to prevent white people from being utter
ly ruined by niggers; that the entire AZ
rican squad offered to sell themselves, but
could not find purchasers and that the
whole "kit and tolick" Of the "unterri-
fed" attempted to bully the Convention,
but were met more than half way, and
made to cover down, and almost shake
their boots off with terrorl Yes, If their
names do not appear appended to the
Constitution, the records of the Conven.
ton cannot be destroyed Is not their
record a bright one? Aye. aye-snd
their names will yet be handed down to
posterity! So is the name of J. Iscariot,
Esquire
But here comes in another supposition
suppose Congress should admit Kansas
upon one condition. Ia mode English
Bill. Wouldn't il look funny, to see the
Constitution sent back to Kansas, with a
proposition to admit her, upon condition
that majority of the people voted in
favor Of allowing the Democratic boilers
to append their names to the Constitu-
ton? If Congress should do such q
thing, lust as like as not the people would
