since, the New York Tribune, whose organ and

braces the points involved in this dashing
effort of the Republican party of the House
to cram this mad measure down the throat of
Congress.
Great credit is due to those Northern friends
of Mr.. Fillmore who evinced the courage to
vote their sentiments against this measure
Our only regret is that more of them could
not raise their independence to as high
point. They all know and feel that this
scheme for forcing, by Congressional action
the Topeka-made constitution upon the peo-
pie of Kansas at the behest of a mere hand
full of Abolitionists of the Territory, is in ia
grant violation of every principle of our
system and Government; that it is wrong in
every point of view and that the best inter.

that the Senate would surely give it its quie.

future by running counter to abolition senti-
ment in their respective districts
The Settlement.-The action of the House
yesterday, after we weEt to press, upon the
TOpeka-made constitution of Kansas, leads US
to anticipate with much confidence that ere
the session terminates, the bill not long since
introduced into the Senate by Mr.. Toombs-to
authorize the people of Kansas to frame a
State constitution for themselves if they desire
to change their political status, and to secure
| them free expression of their. sentiments
upon the subject at the ballot box perfectly

stance Of this bill as reported back from the
Territories Committee, accompanied by one
of the most powerful arguments known to
the history Of the legislation of this govern
mcnt, from the pen Of Stephen A. Douglas.
Had that gentleman's career as an American
statesman resulted in nothing save this single
report, it would immortalize bis reputation a;
q publicist and statesman.
The Senate will pass the bill as thus re.
ported back, ere adjourning on Wednesday
next; and as soon as it can be reached in the
House. after due debate, it will be enacted
