' desire of many members of the Constitu
tional Convention - to adjourn on Thurs
day. Its lab Ors Will certainly not_extend
Veyond the week..'`. ,
iThe Constitution will be a twe YaAlleAl
Free-State document than that of Tope a.
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.

of Virginia, was übsent. Messrs. Seward.
and Green failed to agree on any plod to

The committee, on the part of the

absent.
The next "and final meeting will take
place on Monday: It is not supposed that
there is any probability of an agreement.
The absence of Messrs. Hunter and

far enough—they should have petitioned
that they should be allowed to vote alio.
This they could do without infringing on
'men's- rights" any farther than to give
their verdict against one of women's
