We received yesterday telegraphic despatch
from Lecompton, Kansas, stating that "the free
State leaders in Lawrence had addressed letter
10 acting Governor Stanton Offering to vote at
the coming election II certain conditions be
complied WITH" and that the acting Governo.
"bad replied in very stringent letter, declining
TO 20 behind the law" The terms proposed
were, we presume, those mentioned 10 our recent
newspaper reports as having been submitted by
Gov. Robinson In late speech Of bis at Law
renee, VIZ. that the free State party shall be
allowed an equal number Of the census takers
and election judges ia reference to this approach
ing June election
Now, this proceeding is In keeping With all
the other proceedings of beth the proliavery
and The snti-slsvery parties in Kansas since the
Inauguration of Mr.. Buchanan. The pro-slavery
psrty and the noslavery party 10 Kansas are
each resolved, at all hazards to secure the Offices
and tpoils incident 10 the admission of new
State, and that Mr.. Buchanan shall be held respon-
sibie for the consequences. We are seriousiy
spprehenhve, therefore, Of more bloody re-
enactment Of the bloody scenes Of Last sum.
MGR in Kansas before the coming summer is
over; and this apprehension is strengthened With
every succeeding batch Of news from the disput-
cd territory.
How stands the case? What was the condi-
Ion Of this Kansss question when Mr. Buchanan
entered upon his official duties in the White
House. Through tie trescheries, double deal

the oEe hand, and from the criminal neglect Of
Congress on the other hand, resulting from the
sectional wrangllnss between Niger worship
ping House Of Representatives and niger
driving Senate, Kansas was passed over uto the
hands OF Mr.. Buctarsn in the mos. shameful,
shabby ard ragged condition. II was the legacy
Of Pandora's box to the new President, With the
lid open. lie found the Territorial laws of
bogus Legislature, which had been donouuced by
Gen. Cas- il the Senate as "a disgrace 60 tue
civilization Of the age" lett Ivy Congress ia full
oporaton-he found that none Of the causcs
which bad ripened toto the civil war Of last

Mr.. Buchanan was compelled 10 sccopt tits

President and n fsihless Congress, and make the
