Several of the repotta were from the To peka Constitution, but.yvith little change. Wherever a change has been made, or a new article submitted, the new feature indicated a more radical -Vree-State Sen timent. The prominent features of the new Constitution, so far as indicated, are: Sting declarations in'the Bill of Iti i ghts i in relation to human liberty; Woman's right to property; short legislative terms; equalization of legislative and Senatorial representation; single representative - dis- tricts ; close restrictions on special legis ilation • three ways of amending the - Cou- - stitution, so as to facilitate 1 its aineri meat; Slavery excluded, The schedule provides for submitting the Constitution to a vote of the people on the third Tues- . day in May nest, It provides for.the election of State officers at the same time. It also provides for the location of the capital by.the vote of the people.lAn- I other feature of the sobedule provides !that if Kansas shall be admitted uOder 'the Lecompton Constitution, this Consti tutipn shall go into i9nmed late force upon its ratification by the people. This latter is a most aig,niteant tei k ture, - It is a de- Iliberate and calm provision against a prob able cootingeacy. It provide.s a mode of extrication, and makes that mode the du tll of the' State °Wipers if a majuritll of the people of Kansas rag,/ the Costitzt t ion. This feature 'was introduced as an amendment by 31r. Winahell of Wyan dot, who belongs to the Conservative, and which has been called the Anti-Topeka faction. , Such are the features of the Owen thin so far. Such is the character of the Constitution that will be made, and as unquestionably adopted. It is the indi cation of that popular sentitneot which now exists, aud, which, sooner or later, will assert its supremacy, unless t.he aar apter -of representative government has ip4ped been blotted out.

Tieligion would thus seem' I to be, in the minds of many, a kind of mysterious etithugiainui and to have noth ing to do with (taunting-rooms, and courts, and 'legislative chambers, Indeed, one who sheuld judge frontmany of the facts and utterances whioh meet our' notice, might almost think that it was a kind of garment never to be worn in the 'streets or the ; markets ; or a sort of ceremony which had nothing to do with mercy, and truth, laid honor: We trust that one good effect of this religious awakening will be a change in this respect. Every man who is now, as he - supposes, starting on a new course of life,' n l iust ask himself what is hi's, solemn duty, m view of his newly, assumed re sponsibilities, toward the great questions of *thee, humanity and morality con stantly . agitated in. this country.

Yes, more; he is now, as the nets who profes-, ses in himself a Wore vital 'principle and i -higher influence, to make manifest to all, thatibusineas- is pot of necessity selfish ness I and dishonesty. '. Who now necessa rily assumes that a religious man's prom ise-tb-pay is better than any other man's ? Ou the, contrary, how often do we find that - of the two the religious man is the .more slippery. If this Revival he genuine, it ;towlt in some degree remove this reproach. Religion must be . carried by it into the i connting-iciom," the shop,'' the'- Brokers' BOlird, and even into the halls of legisla tion. As we have said, the fruits-are. the . onlY test to the outside world. The ex leiteinents-,- the prayers, the . experiences ;toted visions are nothing to them . if- the Convert do not seek justiee-and!love.mer-,1 oylin every-day, life.

It- may be that Wtww era of religious life—of justice mod liroth ei•hood between man and men, is oom meneing; or it maybe that Ola is only a. fresh spasm; to. be followed by a more pal pable moral lifelessness.
