This conference recommended the election of delegates, to assemble in oonvention, sod form a Constitution for Pennsylvaaia, as an independent State and provided maser is which the elections for tots purpose should be held. In consequence of - this recommendation, delegates were chosen by the people, who assembled in C4mmutfon, on the 15th day of July, 1776, end proeeeded to form the Constitution of tharyear, without submitting it to a vote of the people or ; other process of malleittion. That Conititutibu, it will be seen, had 1 revolutionary erigin, and it continued is force fourteen . years, 'until 1790. It contained some fault" which disturbed its practical operatics. The Legilative department wadded of a single body, sale colonial times, and the Executive coedited of a Council and President., the latter being 'elected by the joint ,onto of the Council and , Assembly. A council of censors was also established, who were to re view, from time to time, the conduct of the dif latent department* of the government and re port to the people any violations of the &instate tion by either; end they 'were empowered, by a two-third vote of their number, to call a Con. ventioo to amend the Constitution. A single legislative body., a plural executive, and a cent social mused to criticise official action, but with out power to enforce its judgmeat, were the three capital errors of that Caestitution; and the arrangement fee amendment through the action of the season was found o, be Impracticable.— ' A majority was is favor, at owe time, of a Con• f . vendee., sail at another, against ii; but at no • ti,,ke multi au affemetive two triode . vote be loft ed. lrasat p, nuder the preasere of nems is ai fi:At momm il change, the subject was MIDIS went meabes 0444. t rit,AgeyittL, 1789, In General Assembly, resolutions tr!re adopted setting forth that alterstious sad amend ; mews to the constitutiou were immediate', necessary; reciting from the Deotaration of In depentb•Hoo the ioetertiou of. the right of the people to alter ur to abolish their government, and to ituttitute a new ens, and also the clause of the bill of rights is the lieu existing eoustits.

These important resolutions were adopted by the decisive vote of forty-one to esesoteen. At its post session the General Assembly called a Con rendes "for the purpose of review, and if they see occasion altering nd amending the Coasul nation of the State .

The delegates were sleeted in viewof those facts, and their powers were, of course, rani and'omilar to those of our Conventions of 1776 and 1790—the only conventional bodies ever .assembled lo this State from whose hands cane forth an entire Constitution. The useeseary consequence is, that the Constitution framed by die Kansas Ot;iveuti.ni would be tiditketid ash. jam only to the aoceptaace of Congress voider that provision of the Comititatioo of the United States which gives it juiiW,iction over the ad mission-of new States It ie not a here to inquire whether the slavery clause of in strument stood upon different grounds from other parts of it.

The Objection that the Constitution is on changeable Until 1864, is billy answered by the • citations already made from Peonsylvaais Con stitutiosal history. We may conclude that- the same power will exist is the peopid of Kum. to °bangs their Constitution through a regular process, as that exercised by our owe people in ciousgiog the Constitution of 1776. The oases iu e alike upon the question of power ' and ail one is solved by the decision of the other.

The Kansas Constitution does not forbid ' ametidioeuttefore 1864, and it does manila a declaration of popular power over Constittitione similar to those qnoted by our L 06110,1100 of ; 1789; in a case precisely similar to the present one 'ld. Upon the firil adjournment of the Kam sae Convention without its submission of the whole Wastitutiou formed by it to a vote, ob• jectico was ,made to it upon that ground, and a eoustitutiouni philosophy, altogether novel, was produced 'upou the ooutasion, to sustain that ob. jectiou i by Robert J. Walker, the Governor of the Territory. It may be found expounded at laige in his subsequent letter of resignation, and' it constitutes the material point in the memoir of Mr. Secretary Stanton tit the Territorial-Leg. islature, on the Bth December, 1857. It was this, shortly stated—that the people cannot make or amend a Constitution through agents, sorer. eig, being "inalienable, indivisible, a unit, and incapable of delegation," in whole or in part. The practical result arrived at by Governor sad Secretary, from this doctrine, was the itivilidity of the Lecompton Constitution, without a popu• in vote upon the whole of it. Aesop a; if pity seem, all this is spread. Out in official, dominion% and constitutes the leading ground of objection by Governor Walker to the Constitution, as stated' by himself.

The notice of ibis objection_becoosee Us portaat when we consider It as an assigned nes» of the difference between Gov Walker s ad the National Administration, leading to his remiser tiara, and also as the reasons stated by Secretary Stanton for convening the Territorial LegtAstue in in 1857 and recommending to it the poesy of ,an so t f or o rote tb be taken on the Leeceserou Constitution. It is directly connected with the conduct of those olgoials, and distinctly .P. 114 for. ward by the latter as the ground upon which the vote in January upon the Constitution could be justified.
