How any one can doubt the power t sof a Convention for - such purposes, under or- dinar), circumstances is a mystery to its, when we take into consideration the fm quency a ith si hich Constitutions for new States base been filmed in the Ripe man ner. A large number a the States that now constitute the American Union have been admitted under preciAV similar circum stances. Our own State Constitution was framed originally by a Convention, and put in operation without a submission to the people. Numerous other States have-been admitted into the Union in the same way, and not until unfortunate Kansas knocks at the door do we beer of objection being made on that scam miL But. say the opponents of the Lecompttin Constitution. .• the people of Kansas were led to believe that it would be r submitted to them in tutu for their approval or rejection," and it was a breach of faith , in the Cons cation not to do so They say that the President and (lovernor Walker przunised the people entire submission, and an attempt to be admitted without it is a fraud upon the citizens of that Territory. We pre_ pox prepaseil to receive Move alley'. none as truth, in the absence of 'all proof, and we affirm that all the circumstoces con. ; unclad with the Constitutional movement in Kansas, rebut any such presumption. What are the facts i In the first place, the act of the Territorial Legislature authorizing the Convention, contained no provision for sub mission ; and fun this reason it was vetoed by Gov. (leery ; after which the Legislature passed it by a two thirds vote of both houses and It became a law without the Governor's signature. Could not the people learn from this that there would be no obligation on the Ounvontion to submit it f Imes not thin fact alone rebut and fully answer the aaaec, tam, that the people were bud to believe that they would have an opportunity at tlki2 liox to sole the Constitution that tifibuld t he (raved by the Convention, either up or :down i Thp fact le. it was understood from the beginning that submission was no part of the duty of the Convention ; and "that It possoased full power to frame a Coustitu. too alai apply Cur 114i71414414011 jßder it.

The harmony and good feeling that per vaded the Sessions of the Convention, are a sure guarantee that at the election in Octo ber next the Democracy of the old Key stone will be found moving in solid column, snoxincr w snoutaer, an invinewie mat in the advocates and defenders of Truth. Every candid man who adheres. to the old land marks of the Democracy, and believes in the principles of the Kanuss•Nebraska Bill, must approve of the resolutions passed by the Convention, which wo publish in an other cilumn. Comment upon them by us, is umiccessary, as they are precisely in ac cordance with the sentiments contained rn all the article! we have writteti on the re spective subjects of which they treat, yet we may have something to say about them us the future. liet them be carefully read : RIMORT Or COMMITTEE ON RRSOIXTIONS Mr. WRIGHT, chairman of the commit too appointed to draft resolutions for the consideration and action of the Convention, reported a series of resolutions, and in doing so, said that it afforded him much pleastire to state to the Convention that they had been adopted in committee without a dissenting to-ce. Mr. WltigllT then stepped forward to the Speaker's desk, and read the resolutions, as follows : Routeyed, That the principle involved in the repeal of the hltssoun Compromise, and asserted in the Kansas-Nebfaaka act, that the people of the Territories shall have the kg exclu • o control over their domestic insti• tntinn re the only wore tynereereee tlutag Li on of the nation, in regardlo the local in itutions of particular States and Territor Rrsti/red, That by the uniform application of this Democratic principle to the organi• ration of Territories, and to the admission of new States, with or without domestic ale very, as they may elect, the equal rights of all the Staten will be preserved, the original compact of the Constitution !maintained in violate, and the harmony of the union of the Aineocan States preserved and mimed. liesolteg, That it is the right of the peo ple of any State or Territory to exercise their sovereign power through duly chosen I resprenentativen, and through them enact a constitution and government : or they may delegate to such 'tcpresentatives the more limited power to prepare their form of gov ernment, reserving to themselves the right of ratification and that either mode of giving existence to State institiltions lo consistent with the doctrine of popular sovereignty, and the established practice of the States of this Union Resolved, 'flint the Itamas•Nebraska aot, halving asserted and recognized the right of the people of the Territories to form their own institutions, in their-worn way, and the duly organized gm eminent in Mamma, hav ing by regular process provided for a con vention of delegates by the people, with in struc•tions and power to form a constitution, and such delegates having assembled in convention, and enacted a constitution un der such instructions and power, such con stitution being republictui In Nut, and the Territory having the n•imber of inhabitants to justify it, Kansas should be promptly ad mitted into the Union.

' Rrsolvsd, That if the Constitution of - Kansas is not acceptable, in some of its provisions, to the majority of the free State men of that Territory, their own course of obstinate condudt has produced the result ; they have no cause to complain, and their mouths tkhould be forever closed.

While 'yet in the car, she heard the eastern train Ap proaching, and hastily bidding her friend good,bye, she hurried out of the car, in or der to be at her place at the supper table.— When she reached the platform, tie coming train was but a short distapco off, and Con ductor Cramer told her to wait till the train stopped : for she was in danger, if she jump ed oil, of Acing caught by the locomotive.— She did not heed him, however, and made the leap. As she jumped, Mr. Cramer caught her by the-nrin, but she broke loose from him, and alighted in front of the en- gum, then clone upon her. N. Cramer sprang after her, and as soon as he reached her,lho cow-catcher of the locomotive struck them, nocking them some distance ahead. Mr. Cramer rgcovered himself sufficiently to leap off the track, and in the leap, sucoeeded in dragging the lady oft, all says hor feet; which were crushed to a jelly, under the heavy driving wheels of the locomotive.
