This law is fair in its provisions anv that ever passed a Legislature for a Similar purpose. The right of suffrage at this flection is clearly and justly defined—"every Vu! /Mr inhabitant of Kausos," on the third Monday of June, the day of the election, who wd , a citizen of the United States, above the A of twenty-one, and had resided therein for throe months previous to that date, was enti tled to vote. In order to avoid nil interfer ence from neighboring States or Territories with the freedom and fairness of the election, provision was made for the registry of quali fhnl votes, and pursuant tliereof, nine thousand fjfiv-two voters were registed.

It is prop refer to the election btld under the act of the Territorial legislature, on the first Monday in Jan nary, on the Lrecompton Constitution. This election was held after the Territory had been prepared for admission into the Union as a sovereign State, aud when no authori ty existed iu the Territorial legislature, which could posesibly destroy its existence or change its character The election; which was peacefully conducted under my instructions, involved a strange inconsistency. A large majority of the persons who voted aguinst the Lecomp ton Constitution, were at tire same time and place reeog niziug its valid exfsteacefn the most solemn and authen tic manner, by voting under its provisions. 1 have as yet received no official information of the result of this election. As a question of expediency, after the right has been maintained, it may Ire wise to reflect upon the benefits to Kansas and to the Whole Union, as well as the disasters winch may follow its rejection. Domestic peacd will Ire the happy consequence of its admission, and that tine Territory, hitherto torn by disseusions, will rapidly in crease iu population, and wealth, and speedily realize the blessings and comforts which follow agricultural and me chanical industry. The people then will be sovereign, and eau regulate their own affairs iu their own way. If the inajoriitv of them desire to ale dish domestic slavery within the State, tire*re is no other possible mode by which it can be effected so speedily as by its prompt admission. The will of the majority is supreme and irre sistible, when expressed orderly aud iu a lawful manner. It can unmake Constitutions at pleasure. It would be absurd to say they can impose letters upon their own power, whicu they cannot afterwards remove. If they could do this, they might tie their own hands for an hund red as tor ten years. These are the fundament il princi ples of American freedom, and recognized in some form by every State Constitution, and if Congress in the act of admission should think proper to rccoguize them, 1 can perceive no objection. This has Ireen done emphatically in the Constitution of Kansas- It declares in the Bill of Bights, that "all political power is inherent in tin- people, and all tree governments are founded on their authority and instituted for their benefit, and therefore, they have at all times the inalienable and indefeasible right to alter, retorin or abolish their form of government, in such a manner as they may think proper." The great State of New York is at this moment governed under a constitu tion Iratued in direct opposition to the mode prescribed by the previous Constitution. If, th erel'ore, the provi sion changing the Kansas Constitution after the year lsG-t. could by any possibility be construed into the pro hibition to make such change previous to the period ot prohibition, it would Ire wholly unavailing. The Legis lature already elected, may at its tlr-t session, submit the question to the vote of the people, whether they will or not, have a Convention to amend their Constitution, and adopt all necessary means for giving effect to the popular will. It has been solemnly adjudged by the lnghrst Judicial Tribunal, that slavery exists in Kansas, by virtue ol the Constitution of the L nited States. Kansas is therefore, at this moment, as much a slave State as Georgia or South Carolina. Without this the equality of the sover eign States composing tin Union would be violated, and the use and enjoyment of territory, acquired by the com mon treasure ot all the States, would be closed against the people and property of nearly lwlf the members of the Confederacy. Slavery- an therefore never be prohibit cd in KanSita, except by means ola Constitutional pro- Vision. and in no other maimer can this be obtained so priunrdly, if the majority of the people desire it, as by ndmittiug it into the Union, under the present Cousti tion. On the other hand, should Congress reject the Consti tution, under the idea of affording the disaffected in Kansas, a third opportunity to pr diibit slavery in a State which they might have done twice before if in the majority, no man can foretell the eouse.jiiences. If Con gress, for the sake of those men who refuse to vote for delegates to the Contention, when they might have ex cluded slavery from the Constitution, and wli > afterward refuse on the '2lst of December, when they might as they claim, have stricken slavery from the Constitution, should now reject a State, because slavery remains in its C institution, it in manifest that the agitrtion npon this important subject will be renewed in a more alarming form that it has ever assumed. Every patriot in the country had indulged the hope j that the Kansas Nebraska act would put a final end to the slavery agitation, at least in Congress, Which had for I more than twenty years convulsed the country and en dangered tlic Union. This act involved great and funda mental principles, and if fairlv carried into effect, will se'tle the que-tion. Should the agitation be again reviv ed : should the people of the sister States be again es tranged from each other with more than former bitter ness, this will arise from a cause, so tar as the interests of Kansas are concerned, more trilling and insignificant than lias ever stirred t!ie elements of a great peoj !e into commotion. To the people Kansas the only practical difference between their admission or rejection, depends simply upon the fact whether they can themselves more speedily change the present Constitution, if it does not aceord with the will of the majority, or frame a second Constitution to he submitted to Congress hereafter.— Even if this were a question of mere expediency, and not of right, the -mall difference of time, one way or the oth er, is not of the Igast importance w hen contrasted with the evils which must necessarily result to the whole coun try from the renewal of the slavery agitation. In consid ering tliis question, it should never be forgotten that in proportion to its insignificance, let the decision be what it may, so far as it may ettect tire tew thousand inhabitants of Kansas, who have, from the oegiuning, resisted the Con stitution and the laws, for thi- very re ison tlic rejection of the Const:' ution will la- so inc.-it :a we ke.-nlv li lt by the people of fourteen Mutes of tire Union where slavery i- recognized under the Constitution of the United State-. Again, the speedy udmi—ion ot Kansas into the Union, would restore peace and quiet to the whole country.— Already the affairs of the Territory have engrossed an undue proportion of the public attention, have sadiv af fected the friendly relations of the States with each other, and alarmed the tears (J t patriots tor the safety of the Union. Kansas once admitted, the excitertieiit become* ■ localized and willon die away for want of out-ide ali ment : then every difficulty would be settled at the bal lot box. Besides—and thi- is no trifling consideration— we shall then be enabled to withdraw the troops from Kansas and employ them in service where they are much needed.
