In An urticleof yesterday, weaiulsd (*?) the Carolinian, of the 118th u11 .) thst it | seemed impossible to get a true statement j of the Kansas election returns. Since then ' we have received the Wsshington States, j containing thp wjjieul leturns,signed by the President of the Council and the Speaker of thp Mouse of Representative* of Kangu3, $n4 also by Gov. l>cnvei, by which it appear* that on the ?}st of Deuenibvr the vole for the l^ecouipton Constitution, with slavery, stood 6,14*4, to 569 for it without slavery. On the of January, it would seem that 10 44'* votes were cast against the Constitution and 164 for it. The certificate also showa the election of all the j Free Slate candidates by majorities varying from 301 to 696. The legislature is also Free Slate. We trust those returns may yet be invalidated, sod that the Star's statement,** mentioned yesterday,may prove correct. Kansas Imbroglio. Thin .question will soon receive a practi- ; rul solution iu Congress ; whether Kansas j is to be admitted int) the Uuion, under the Lecouipton Constitution, with the slavery | 1 cause, or r? jected in consequence thereof ; | or whether, there will be a truckling on the i part of Southern members, to frce*oil prejudice. and Abolition fanatics, by submit- . ting tlte whole Constitution back again, to 1 tl-e people of Kansas, for ratification, or I rej ?ction, as advocated bv Senator Douglas, and Gov. Wise, whose vaecillatinjj course in ibis question, at this particular j juncture of time, by giving aid ami com- I fort to the enemy, litis done more to injure ' ' the cause of the South,by dividing the Nor wieru jL/viiiocrary, wno were ncruig in con-t junction with Southern men, in sustaining the Kansas policy uf the Administration,j than the whole Host of Freesoilera, ami ! Abolitionist combined. The doctrine of non-intervention bv Congress in the affair* j of the Territories, now acquired, or hereafter to bo acquired, is one of the cnttUual principles of the Democratic 1'urty, as enunciated in their Cincinnati platform,and 1 which 01 igiuated in the passage of the Kansas Nehrask* Act, which abolished the Missouri compromise line; and in which, it is declared, that it is not the purport and meaning of this Act, to h-gislillc slavery into the | Territories, nor to exclude it therefrom , i but to leave the people free to determine for themselves ; their own institutions, in i thwir own way ; and that win a they hud I sullicient population to justify their admission as n Slate in the. Union ; they are to j be admitted, either w itli, or w iihoul s!av ery, as the people thereof may determine. Kansas in pursuance of the Organic Act, i elected her Territorial legislature, which I passed an Act, submitting it to a vote of 1 the people ; whether tiny were in favor of calling a Convention, to ndt j?t a Constimlion and organize a Statu Government. The > : people voted thereupon, in favor ol the call I of a Convention, by a large majority. The ! Territorial legislature, afteraai.N, in cbe- i dience to the will of the people, as express. \ ed at the ilallot llox. called a Convention t to frame and adopt a Constitution tor a I < State Government ; annexing as a condition | , to the voting lor Delegates to the CoitVen- i , lion, that each voter be requested to tcgii- j ' ter bis name, and thateveiy tree w hite man, , twenty one years of age, who shall have ^ beeu an actual resident in the Territory for i three months, prior, to said Khction, shall j , t>e entitled to vote for Delegates to the t 'on- j , ventiun. The Free Soilera refused to teg- | | isler their names, ai.d also refused to vote i for Delegates to the Convention. The con* i sequence was the slavery 1'arly elected their i Delegates to the Convention; ttnd tlie Con* i t vention adapted ttie l.ccomptcn CotislHu* lion, together with a schedule thereto at | i Inched, with the Slavery clause, and submitted il to the vote of the people foi adoption, on the Jlst of December, in the following form . Constitution with slavery;' and Constitution wi'hout slavery. The I Freesoilcrs again refused to vote, vv hioh re- j suited in the adoption of the Constitution . with the slavery clause. But, no sooner ! was the fart made known, that the Consli- I tulion with slavery, had licst) adopted, ttian j ik.. L- si. ...

Ai d no snonur also, than the President's .Message had been ronirnnnicn- j ted to Congress, favoring the admission of! Kansas us a Slate in the Union, under the l<ecouiptoD Con-tilution ; than Senator I Douglas, whose term of service as Senator, is near about expiring, and lie (earing the I'rcCMjilish piucltvilics of Ins constituents, and in order to secure his re-election to the Senate its well as to advance his prospects for the presidency, for which lie is an Aspirant, comes out in a speech, in opposition to the Kansas policy of the ('resident,, and goes for sending the whole Constitution back to the people for ratification, or rejec- j tion, al bulging as his reason therefor, that a majority of Ine people of Kansas was op j posed to the lafcoo.pton Constitution, tie 1 cause the slavery clause alone, was submitted for adoption; and argues that the who la Constitution should he submitted buck for popular ratification. The President in his message, submits, that inasmuch, as the Slavery question was the only issue, agitated among the people of Kansas, and that that issue, having been fairly, and legally decided, by the adopt 'on ot the 1/ecompton Constitution ; that Knr>? sas ought to be admitted in the Union, under that Constitution, Hut the question may come up, suppose Kansas should he rejected, and if she is rejected, it w ill he on the ground alone,that her Constitution tolerates slavery ; or suppose, thnt her Const! lution be sent b.iek again by Congrens, n second tune for ratification, or rejection, what will the South do; will she tamely, quietly, pns*iiely, nnd cowardly submit! or will she resist nt any and every hazard, and to the last extremity, even 10 the dic? ruption of every tje, that binds her to the Union ! The latter alternative, is the Georgia i'latforiu. which has been udopted by the Southern Status, generally. We see also, that the legislature of Alabnma, has passed resolutions, unanimously, authorising the Governor of the Slutc, upon the happening of such a contingency, to call a Convention of the people of the State, to determine the mode, and measure ! uf redress. We say, that the South cannot submjt, from her past pledges, and resolution*, and if she doea, it will be w ith eternal disgrace I and diajunor. We, however, hope for the ' beat, and trust, that when the tune for ac lion comes, she may be found acting in a solid phahini, altogether, under the banner, Union of the South for tha sake of the South, with her nmito inscribed : Equality in tha Uuion, or Independence out of it.
