The Last Kansas SNintile.

In another place We copy from the Tri-
hune suecinct and powerful statement Of
the actual position Of affairs as they now cx-
is in Kansas. It will be seen from it that
the great, the sole controlling purpose for
which the Missouri COMPROMISE was over
thrown, is at last accomplished Nothing
n r-mains to cor plete the record of vii
famous frauds and outrages which have been
pcrpetrated in that unfortunate Territory for
the last four years, hut the final riseting OF
the last link in the chains whercwith Kansa,
is now manaeled, by the Congress soon to
assemble at Washington, and in which the
Slave Democracy have a Triumphant MAORI
tv. The Tribune closes its statement with
an appeal 70 HI people t. let their wishes be
known in the matter, in hopes Of deterrins
their representatives from slnctioning tbs
las, and foulcst niquity OF border ruiIiansm
Vain hope Was the peoples voice heed
ed when an all bat unanimous public senti-
m -; in the Free States demanded that the
Missouri Compact should remain unSiolatcd?
Not solitary petition from the entire South
ern people sounded the signal for the assault
upon that compa. ia sainst that treason the
whole North rose as one man. in earnest.
eager remonstranee. Yet the deed was ac-
eomplishtd-accomplishcd, too, IN the name
of popular sovereignty" And, our word
for it, the next Congress will not adjourn
without attempting to fasten upon the necks
of the people of Kansas this bogus Constitu-
ton in spite Of the fact that nine-tenths oil
them are known to utterly abhor it, And
that Congress will do it, too, while their
mouths are full Of the cant of popular
sovereignty. and Of .'leaying the people per.
fcctly free to form and regulate their d.
mes ic institutions in their own way"
When this shall be done, there will re
main but one resource left TO the freemen o
kansas-the resource Of their fathers-th,
right of revolution. Ard if in such ex
tremity they do not avail themselves Of tia
right, then was the precious blood Of =
wasted in vain for such craven recreants t.
Liberty.
The last act in the Kansas Drama Of fraut
and usurpation Is drawing rapidly to close
When the curtain has dropped, its next lift
ing may disclose tragedy which may infolv,
the country in that dircst Of calamities-;
civil war. Let Mr.. Buchanan look well t
the awful weight Of responsibility whicl
mast rest somewhere, in thecyent Of such
strife.

From the Philadelphia Press, Nov. i9th.l
The Last News from Kansas.

The drift of all the news from Kan
sas, by mail and telegraph, shows con-
clusively that the so-called pro-slavery
Constitutional Convention, like other
bodies of whom we have read, is an
other formidable instance of the
adage that whom the gods wish to
destroy they first make mad Some of
the propositions presented to that Con-
vention-whch. be it remembered, re-
presents a mcre fragment Of the roters Of
The 7srritory-would disgrace a des-
potism. Others are merely ridiculous.
while the whole affair looks to us, at
his distance. as if the parties engaged
in it had catered into a contract 70 mort
gage the new State to their own indivi-
lual interests for century to come.

Mr. Editor
As understand that tie ladies comp sing
the Methodist Sowing Circle propose holding
a leyee on Christmas Eve. YOU will confer a
favor by allowing me a brief space for ex-
planning is nature and object
1t appears that the Methodist S5ciety pur-
chased the furniture or the Hal, (their
place Of public Worship but being unable
10 meet the payment last Spring they were in
danger Of losing it. At this junctuFe, two
gentleman were kind enough to advance the
money and allow the society further time in
which to raise the requisite amount So
stands the case now and the Oh oct Of this
le1ee is to Iay of this deAt, 50 that the fur
niture may belong t. tie .ee,;s as II Is ex-
pseted that {. minister Will be assigned them
next year.
The society is small the times are hard
and they find it difficult to raise the money
in any other way but with an Object 80
prais worthy, in place like Ellsworth,
where there i 50 little preaching aud So much
needed, and with determination ON the mart
OF the ladies to afford fair equivalent to
their patrons, IN substantials, amusement
and good time generally, ain confident
that the well disposed citizens have only to
understand these facts, and they will need
nothing farther as an inducement for extend
