THE KANSAS CONSTITUTION. In the last number of the black- Locofoco pa per of this place, is an attempt to defend tho uets of the late outrageous bogus Convention of the Dorder-Rufflaua in Kansas, in not -allow ing the people of the Territory the privilege of voting upon the whole Constitution under which they arc to he goverued. It says, "now, that tho question of slavery is placed in the bauds of the people of Kansas, to be fairly auu honestly decided by them, they must have some excuse, however trifling it may be, for their uteu to stay away from the polls, so that the pro-slavery men can have everything their own way." This is the merest gammon. It is not true that the people of Kansas have the power, under tho constitution, to "fairly and honest ly" decile the question of slavery. It allows them simply the privilege of voting "Constitu tion with slavery," and "Constitution with no slavery,"as will he seen by referring to Section 11, as publUacd in the black-Gazette last week. This privilege of voting for this section amounts to just nothing at all, and if carried agaiust slavery, u would only prevent the taking of any more .-l ive* tbcic, hut would not interfere with those already i the Teiritcrv. The whole cotis'.ituiiou is one of ih most objectionable to the fiee State men, and the®; have a right to vote for, or against, the whole Constitution, in stead of a single clause. Should be Constitu tion be adopted without the section in favor of slavery,if is still a slave State, as much so, in deed as Maryland, and many other They l ave slavery, but their Constitutions pro hibit the importing more of them into their States. This would be exactly the state of af fairs in Kansas. It ia well known that there are many hundreds of slaves now in Kansas, who have been taken (here by slaveholders, and these would still continue to be slaves and their descendants after them, even though the people do vote against the slave clause. To prove tuesc facts, we again refer our readers to the schedule of tho Constitution ns published in the last week s Bedford Gazette, latter clause of the lltii ScCtiou: "But if, upon such examination of said poll books, it shall appear that a majority of the legal votes oast at said election he in favor of he"Constitution with no slavery," then the -'Vie providing for slavery shall bo stricken .roii, the Constitution by the I'resideut of this "ns'-mion. and no slavery shall exi®t in tho im/'mvi Kansas, EXCEPT THAT THE tv ,1 ) 7 1,ROPr - RTY FN SLAVES NOW V • vv. i p'KRJTORY SHALL in NO •N-VNM.R INTERFERED WITH." -""w, what doen ell this moan? Is it not the .ni.nhug to pretend that tho people of \ .1 a .t\._ the right tp settle the question of slavery for themselves? I t will still exist, co 'i \7. 1,2 pe(J P le tole 25 any one not •u.ly .in ami prejudiced, can sec, and the on., way to defeat it, would have been to have v! mu ted the whole Constitution to the people. In section 10th, as will bo seen. l y J ;: : n \ a . ternng to the hat week's Gazette, this Cons* '"-on, objectionable ns itis, cannot bo^end ' changed," "until after the year -Cv tuoufctud eight hotwired ntid sixtv-fburl"-^ f thiok J" 00 of reader? And yet the Gazette says, "the people oj that Territory ore to dtcide for themselves whether they will have a Constitution permitting slavery or not!'' Certainly the new political associa tions of the writer of this precious morccau, have damaged his understanding and warped his dwarfish reasoning powers. Won't dogge rel come to his relief! It may be that tho public will ere long believe what the American Republican press has said of the doings of the pro-slavery party in Kansas. Their determination to force slavery on the Territory, by fair means or foul, have, through the action of theLi'couiptou Con vention become *o disgusting that ev-n Col. Forney, of the Philadelphia Press, speaks on' in tiie language of the following article: THE LAST NEWS FROM KANSAS. The drift of rl! the news from Kansas, by mail and telegraph, shows conclusively that, the so-called pro-slavery Constitutional Conven tion, like other bodies of whom we have read, is another formidable instance of the adage that "whom the gods wUh to destroy, they first mako mad." Some of the propositions pre sented to that Convention, which, be it re membered, represents a mere fragment of the voters of the Territory—would disgrace a des potism, others are merely ridiculous, while the whole affair looks to us, at this distance, as if the parties engaged in it had entered into a contract to mortgage the new State to their own individual interests for a century to come. There is a consistent disregard of the peo ple manifested, a cool resort to trick and an ut ter shumelessuoss, which altogether make up a satire upon representative bodies suoli as we have never before bad the luxury to enjoy. *•••* Wo give in another column some of the do ings of this Convention; and have only to say, tint if the Constitution fabricated by this body is sent to Congress, we trust that short work will be made of it. It deserves nothing but contempt. It has a single merit, it is its consistency with the fraud and wrong which it is intended to perpetuate, and from which, in great part, it has grown. Tho idea of a set of men chosen as delegates to this Convention, attempting to bind posterity to their work, and daring to nul -1 ifv in advance tho will of the mujotity, is so monstrous that wc wonder the outrage did not exciU! the whole people to civil war. In speaking of doings like these, we feci that it is idle to minee phrases, and we sincerely hope that if the constitution of Kansas is any thing like the instrument it promises to be, from the intelligence wc lay heforo our readers this morning, it will, when presented to the Congress of the United States, be thrown out cf both branches by a unanimous vote. At any rate we trust that the Senators and Representa tives from Pennsylvania will boldly and at once put their feet Hpon it and spurn it nsitdccrvcs lo be spurned. Many others of the most prominent Locofoco papers, take the same views in reference to this fraud, ssCol. Forney's Press; among them are the Chicago Time®, (Douglas' organ,) Detroit Free Press, (Gen. Cass' organ,) Prov d n-e Post, Albany Atlas, Buffalo Courier, Roches ter Union, Seneca Übsorver, l'iitshurg Union, and many others of the most respectable of the party. What strikes ns as singular, i®, that papers like the "Redford Gazette," that are under the management of editors that have been Whigs, Know Nothings and Republicans, within the last eighteen months, should now out-Ilerod Herod on this Kansas question, and go farther than many slaveholders themselves. The Ilcssian soldiers to day will fight for Eng land, or any other nation, against France; to morrow they will fight as warmly for France— they firht for pay ! BROAD TOP COAL. We call tho attention of our readers to the advertisement of Messrs. Osbourn A Cresswcll, in to-day's paper. They are now mining and shipping to Hopewell, the Riddlesburg coal, among the best in the Broad Top region. The coal burns beautifully, and leaves uo cinders. Mr. T. M. Smith is their agent at Hopewell. Our farmers going to Hopewell with their teams would do well to load them with this coal, instead of bringing them back empty. — It would sell well. TO COLLECTORS. We call tho attention of Collectors to tho advertisement of the Commissioners, in another column. All those previous to 1857, are re quired to settle off their duplicates by the Ist jof January n*xt, or they will be proceeded against according to law. Collectors of 1857 ' ore al.o particularly requested to pay into the Treasury, by tho Ist Jan. next, as much as possible The Treasury is worse than empty. , 1 Lis matter should be attended to iuiuiediate t 'y- ■ We will publish tho President's Message next week. J AMES d! BIRNE Y. James 0. Birncy, died at Kaglcswood, near Perth Amboy, N. J., on Tuesday evening.— lie was born in 1793, at Danville, Kentucky. His father, a native of Ireland, was a mutt whose ; enferptize had accumulated wealth, which, cm j ployed with generosity, conferred upon hint [ popularity and social position. His mother was a beautiful and accomplished American lady by the name of Reed. At the age of nineteen, two ycara after a distinguished graduation at Nassua Hall, N. Jersey, Mr. Piracy became a student in the of fice of Mr. Dallas, at Philadelphia. Returning to his native State in 1814, he commenced the practice of law, and at the age of twenty-two was chosen a member of the Leg islature. At this time be contracted a marriage with a lady of great personal attractions und distinguished family. Three years after he had becntue a planter in Alabama and the owner of thirty-five slaves. Subsequently resuming the practice of his profession at Iluntsville, ho gath an cxteu®ive and profitable business. Just be fore his return to Kentucky, lie Served with distinction in the Legislature of Alabama. BEDFORD INQUIRER. Mr. Birucy's career attrocis peculiar inter est from the beginingof his connexions with the anti-slavery movement. Early in life the wrongs inflicted by the whites upou the Indians touched his heart and called out his indignant eloquence both of tongue and pen. Sympathy for oue class of human beings naturally led to sympathy for another; and sccordingly he wai soou greatly interested in the welfare of the negro. The plan of emancipation which at first seemed to hiin the most feasible was that of the colouizationists, and to advocate their views he abandoned a .lucrative and honorable profes sion. iu 1131 he caused a deed of emancipation for the six slaves ho brought wirh h'tu from Alabama, to be entered at the office of tho County Co (At for the county where lie resided, aud announced his intention of starting an ant i slavery new-paper in the State of Kentucky.— When no printer could be persuaded to under take the mechanical pattof the enterprise there, he commenced the publication in Ohio, but not without exciting dangerous hostility. The re cital f>f-the pvril* to Which he and his friends were exposed, is almost incredible, and shows the change of sentiment which has since taken place to make Ohio the freest iu sentiment of tho Western State®. Just before the death of bis father, Mr- Birn ev caused such a disposition to be made of the pafcrual estate, that all tho slave.®, twenty-one iu number, should fall to him, and on the occur rence of that event he set them at liberty, ma king suitable provision for their comfort.— About this time his wife oied, the mother of eleven children, of whom wo believe, five arc still living. Id 1840 Mr. Birncy visited England, and took a proniiticut part in the anti-slavery move ments which I hen agitated that country. In 1841 he married the sister in-law of Hon. Ger rit Smith, a lady of the family or Fiub'gh,wbo survives to cherish his memory. In 1844 ho was nominated for the presidency by the 'Liberty Party,' and the vote polled for bint being chiefly subtracted from that of Mr Clay, defeated that statesman. A few years since b# removed from Michigan to New Jersey, in order that ho might end Itis days among the friends of the reform to which he had devoted his prime, and that his youngest son might enjoy the advantage of Mr. Weld's school at Eagleswood.—A". Y. Post. AN EXECUTION IN HARTFORD Two HUN DRED YEARS AGO.—From (be Diary of John Hull, Treasurer and Mint Muster ot Massa chusetts, recently published by tho American Antiquarian Sscicty, we take the following item: 1057, 23 of 2d, (i. e. April 23J.] We re ceived letters from Hartford, and understood that the work of reconciliation (in the Church) went very slowly forward. We also heard that at a town called Farmingtou, near Hart ford, an Indian was so bold as to kill sn English woman great with child, and like wise her maid, and also sorely wounded a little girl—all within their house—aud then set the house on fire, which also fired some other houses or barns. The Indians being apprehended, delivered up the murderer, who was brought to llartford, and (after he bad bis right band cut offl was, with an ax, knocked on the head by the executioner. A TOUGH STORY. —The yarn we published some two weeks ago, in relation to a piant growing from a diseased limb of a boy near Ithica, N. Y, is confirmed by a Dr. Rawley, of Geneva College, who further adds, that "(too plants grew oqt of the limb, one of which, after growing seven inches In height, bore a flower resembling the China Astor, and the other, after reaching the height of three inches, wa® crowned with pure white buds resembling tho buds of the orange, aud on being exposed to the light expanded into a flowtrof a beautiful gray ish purple." We are inclined to believe all this a stupendous hoax. Yet it may bo so—man is a spucies of vege table, in one sense—but it will b> hard to find people who will believe without seeing it, es pecially sinne the York Yankees arc famous for indulging in Stiver Like snaik stories, and such like. If the story is true, the case ia one of deep interest to the physiologist, aud affords a field for a diagonis of a new character, both bo tanical and physiological.— Erie Dispatch.
