Direct Attempt of the Black Democ.
racy TO Bride Congress and the PEG.
pie OF Kansas.
II the present National Administration
should ever be guilty Of doing asipsle decent
act. we will hasten To announce the wonder.
The President. when Congress assembled,
threatened to put through Lecompton by
force in sixty days or die" Executive
force was the agency to DC employed to cram
the fraud through Congress. This Tor
wonder failed. What next9 4 bride, an
ENORMOUS bride, Is next held out, not only
to corrupt members Of Congress. bu, the
people of Kansas. |, now turns ont that
Mr.. English. oflndiana, has been all through
the struggle traitor. lie has hung about
the Anti.Lecompton camp only to b,fray
those with whom he has been acting. His
motion cor q committee OF conference was
the first os,ensible step in his short journey
over to the enemy. All the time he was
acting with the An,i.Lecompton men, he
was in secret eonelave with the enemy
plotting treason. and this motion was doubt
less made with the full understanding how
the thing was to be compromised. The
pretended holding back OF Gen. QuiIman aud
other frc.eatsrs. when Enslishs bride bill
was frs, proposed, was only russ, make to
pull the wool over the eyes OF the An,i.Le'
comp,onites. The proposition Of English,
which was agreed to by Stephens and Eng
lish Of the House. and Hunter and Greene
in the Senate, turns out TO be different
matter from tho frs, telegraphic reports.
