The Free State men, refusing to recogniZelbe,
- acts of lhat - Legislature as iegal; 7- dielbied - 0

the formation of a convention entirely pro•
slavery, composed 'of sixty delegates. 'Tide

and adjourned over - until 'October. _Jo the.
mennlime,'earlY in; Ontober, . the Territorial
election . - was 'held; •in' - .which. the FreiState
Men—by the promises of Gov; Walker; :that
they should have a fair election—were induced
to take part, and the iestiltwas the triumPlient
election of Marous J: Parrott, the yrett State
onndidate for Congress; and alarge majority'
of the Legislature: ThettNational Dente - cretin"
faction attempted •to .upset, Thin . election,' as'
respects the Legislature, •by returning :eyes.
fifteen hundred illegal:votes, as-having been
oast in Johnson county; the Denies of these
bogus voters baying been copied front a Cin•
oinnati Directory. : ', .
Gov. Walker, being apprised . of this Johnson
county , fraud,' went personally to Oxford pre
cinoi where he found unmistakable evidence of
it; and at once rejected the return.
• About this time-the Constitutional Conven-,
.--tion-met-at-Lenomptom•-•lohn-Calhoun T lIte-11..
S.•Surveyer General for Kansas,' 1)04 , Preni '
dent, nod proceeded to draft a State Constite
tion_pro_ornitiently prm_elavery„„ endorsing. the
Dred Scott decision, the Fugitive-Slave Law,
Ftc., enacting a • pro slavery clause, and provid•
ing that no par:t of the Cunntitution, so trained,
shall be submited to a voto.of the people,
except the mere' qiiSation - of ry - or'No
Slavery." They also provided that:there shall
be no power to modifrthie Constitution pricT.
to 3864 ; nor even then, unless two ; thirds of
the Legislature shall agree to submit the call
of a Convention to the people; nod not then, '
unless a mnjo'rity of the citizens shall ratify
the mill—thus hedging it.rounil' with contin
gencies, to prevent the possibility of a change.
Ibis, we believe, presents a fair view of the
case at. present, and demands the serious .
attention of every citizen' in the country. The
injustice-of this movement of the•pro-elavery
feeders is so palpable, that the Northern wing
of the Democracy are beginning to [letter on
the - subject, and fears, are entertained that. the,
result will be a rupture' inalto party: . Some,
of the Jtemocratio organs are independent,
enough to denounce this attempted infringe
ment of popular suffrage; but - much the larger
number .are waiting with Some .anxiety,
know what the President will say in Ilia Igoe:
.sage„from which they can bike their cue. The
"turning and twisting" .4.,,the Washington
Union on this subject, affords on amusing.
instance of the "no-change" principles of the
. ;pentocratio party.' In July lost The 'Union,
speaking on the subject of Kansas, 'uses the
the following decided language:
"When there is.no serionsdiepute upon the .
constitution, either in the Convention or among
the,peoplo,- the power of. the delegates.itlone
may put it in operation. But gad; is not !lie
ease in Kansas. The moot violent struggle this
country ever raw, upon the most important
issue whiclrilteCouotitutiovi lots to_determine,
has been going ou•there for several years be
tween parties so. evenly balanced that burr
claim the majority, and so hostile to one atto•
ther that numerous liverrinive been lost In the
contest. Under these . .circtutiottinces, there
can be no ouch thing no ascertoining clearly

any way except by their own direct expression
koonstittition-not subject=
ed to that test, tio matter what it rotatable,
wilt
be
be acknowledged by its opponents
to be anything but a fraud. A plausible color
might be given to this assertion by the argu
ment that the,,, members of the Convention
could have no motive for refusing to submit
their work to their constituents. except a gen
sciousness that the majority would coudenan
it. We confess that we should find seine clink
culty in answering this. What other motfve
could they have/
the
do most devoutly be
lieve that, antes the condition of Kansas be
submitted to a direct vote of the people, 'the'
unhappy controversy which has heretofore
raged in that Territory; will be prolonged for
au indefinite time to come " . •
But hear that, same Union. now, nftor. the
Cohvontion have decided not to submit the
Kansas Constitution to a "direct vote of the
people." In the Union of the 24th', of - Nov.,
the tune it: changed as follows
"The idea as to the failure of the Convention
to submit the entire Constitution to the people
for ratification or rejection, on which some of
our Democratic cotemporaries have . gone off,
will tie found, on examination, not to present
the true issue now hivolved.—
• "We think the reasons, in the present ease,
fully justified the Convention in a partial, but
unimportant, departure from the principle.
To submit tho whole Constitution was to,
endanger the fate of thewhole, and to pr'olong,
'the agitation." .
And again, on the 2.5 th of November, he
says :=
"The most arrant hypocrite to - be,,found is
the Mack Republican, who pretends to be
horrified bemuse the whole of the Kansas
Constitution is not submitted to the people of
the Territory for ratification or rejection."
When a paper, claiming to be the "central
organ of the. Democracy," travels in each an
.o centric orbit, we neeil masir ender that the
