New-York daily tribune., 1856-09-29

Paul PRIV was right-there is no more perilous
habit than that of doing gcod-natured things. Com
plassnce among all the virtues is that which most
rgidly insists on being its own reward-ifyou are
not satisfied with that, you must turn away
empty.
Gov. Seward. it is we'll known took for the key
note Of his course on the Kansas question last win
ter. "No Compromise" Compromises, he argued
have been tried and proved utterly unsubstantlal,
unreliable-you put your finger on one OF them,
and il is not there. An opportunity to violate it
seems too tempting to be stubbornly resisted But
here is the Constitution Of Free Kansas, unques-
tonably concurred in by twothlrds of the lnhablt-
ants of the Territory, and lacking legal tormahties
cn, because the Border Ruffans in the election OF
March Both, 20 fraudulently and violently wrested
them from u.s. There is the House Committees
Iu,esiigating Report, proving by mountains OF
sworn testimony that the Free-State men were
right and the Slavery Propagandists wrong all the
WHY through. take my stand, then, on the Free
state Constitution, and sink or swim with ii.
This position was greeted with perfect howl of
race aid denunciation from the other side. II was
sgrnaiizcd as unpatriotic isctious, wrong gheaded,
and tending to Disunion. But Gov. S. persevered
in it to the end Of the Session.
In he House. different policy prevailed among
our friends Having been taunted, denounced, stig-
matized, as standing. on the Topeka Constitution
and rejecting all practical possible means of settling
the Kansas difiicutes-w,h standing out against
settlement in quest of political caPital-with fearing
10 let Kansas be tranquilZed lest they should lose
all their political capital-they voted on Mr.. Dunn's
bill so as to prove all this false and unfounded And
now we zee what they gained by it.
IIr Dunn is for Fillmore, and bitterly hostile
to ;hc party be has betrayed and deserted. On
the .ih Of last July he submitted and on the 29th
Le called up bill originally proposed by him as
substitute for tie Toombs Douglas Paclfcston bill,
but which he finally pressed as substitute for
Mr. Crows bill annulling all the bogus Laws of
Kansas" Mr. Dumas bill proposed
|. To wipe out the Border Ruffian legislation in
Kansas by which the term Of the bogus Council
was protracted till Jan. /, l55S;
2. To dismiss and restore to private life all the
officers and aPpointees of that bogus Legislature,
so soon as Legislature should be ready 70 fill
their places;
3. To set free the Free-State prisoners;
l. To annul the most obnoxious of the Border
Ruffian Laws;
5. To secure homesteads in Kansas to actual set
tlers, whether natye-bon or not;
g. To prohibit the entrance of another slave into
Kansas;
but. rs the Official Census shows that there
were lI2 slaves in Kansas year and more ago.
Mr. Dunns bill continues
