Is 1t NirP

The English -Lecompton bill provides
that the people Of Kansas shall have $500,
900, acres of the public land in that Ter.
ritory, if they will consent to come into
the Union q Slave State, but not to have
it if they choose to be free State. It al
SO provides that il they adopt the Lecomp-
ton Constitution population of f85, 900 or
10000 is sufficient to entille them to ad.
mission as siaus State, but II they elect
to make it a free State they must Lave a
population of 95, 900 or 100000 to justi.
fy Congress in giving them admission
But the worst feature in tho whole matter
is, that the bill makes no provision OF all
for the admission of Kansas as a free, and
only provides for her coming into the Tn.
ron a slOw State. Besides, the persons
who are to count the returns of the cleo
ton 10 be held in pursuance of the bill,are
so chosen as to place the result entirely in
the hands of the pro.Slavery party. The
Criltenden. Montgomery bill, made two
Federal pro-slavery Judges, and two Kan
sas Free State Judges. The English bill
makes five Judges, aad The United States
District Attorney, of course pro Slavery, is
to be the fifth.

MI VERNON PURCHASED.

After long higgling On the part o. that
unworthy bearer Of the name Of the Faith
er of his country, Mr.. John A. Washing
ton, the Ladies Mount Vernon Association,
has at last succeeded in purchasing two
hundred acres of the estate, including the
tomb Of WAsHENaToN and the mansion
house for which 100000 is to be paid:
The money is being raised by the ladies of
the country, aud by Mr.. Everett, who de-
votes the proceeds derived from the deliv-
cry Of bis lecture to the same patriotic OBJ,
ject. The degeuaFated individual out Of
whose hands this sacred precinct has been
rescued, has permitted the tomb and its
surroundings TO 60 to decay while he was
peddling walking sticks made from the
timber on the premises;Rnd if the purchase
bad been delayed much longer he would
have torn down the door Of the tomb, IN
all probability, for the same purpose. Al
soon as fall possession is obtained, steps
will be takeB to repair the ravages of time
and the peddlng Vandal, and the whole
surroundings will be put in a condition NOT
calculated to bring blush Of shame to The
cheek and psng of sorrow to the heart o.

Three Responses Of the People!

The election in Indianapolis took place
on the 4lh, and the Journal says il ere.
suited in most utter and overwhelming
defeat Of the Lecomptonites. The whole
Republican ticket was elected BY near
three hundred majority-the largest ever
given in any city election, and the largest
vote eveE pOlled here" The Journal
adds:
Such result. following right upon the
consumation of the great fraud, is the
most unequiyocal indication Of the feeling
of the people toward it that could be Civ.
en-. II says in no weak and doubtful
tones, that the LecomptOn Villainy. plain
or disguised, bare or covered with English
garments, is known, detested and repudia>
ted. II tells the recreant representation
of Indiana that their doom is fixed, and
the prices they have sold their integrity
for is their seal Of enduring infamy.
This is the first response of the People.
The second comes from the Democratic
borough of York, Pennsylvania, which
gave Buchanan 456 majority. The elec-
ton for town officers took place on Satur.
day, and the Anti-Lecompton Peoples
ticket was elected by l06 majority. The
vote was the largest ever polled.
The third ard most significant is from
Philadelphia. In this Democratic city
tie Anti.Lccomptor victory is complete.
Mr.. Henry, for Mayor,and the other can.
didates on the Peoples Ticket" put
themselves squarely on the Anti Lecomps
ton platform and fought the battle on that
issue. The result is sweep of the field
for Mayor by 4,S0O majority. The op-
ponents also carried all the City Officers
and two.thirds OF the Common Council,
and would have carried the Select Council
but for the fact that one.half the members
held over from last year. With that ad-
vantage, the Democrats have but one ma
jority.
Less than two years ago Philadelphia
gave Buchanan 6,l45 majority over all op-
position. 1t now repudiates his great
measure by over 1000. Last October the
city gave Wilmot 10000 votes for Gov.
ernor, Hazelhunt, American, IA, ,395; and
Packer, Democrat, 27,749. Combined
majority against the Republicans, 32,O83.
Democratic majority over the Republican
and American vote combined, was 3,413.
These responses are but the indications Of
the uprising of the people, (which will sweep
the Administration and its northern dough-
fsces into merited retiracy. $50 mote it

wThc grSst question Of the day
the admission Of Kansas as free anG SOW
ereign state of the Union, has finally got
its quietus, and she now forms the thirty
second star of the glorious galaxy of the
confederation. - Citizen Democrat.
The admission Of Kansas into the Union
is certainly something new to us, and we
apprehsDd indeed, that nobody else in the
United States, excepting the writer of the
above, knows anything about it. We are
under the impression. as is the whole
country, that the English. .Lecompton bill,
which passed Congress few days ago, re-
fers the Lecompton Constitution back to
the people of Kansas. If they accept it,
Kansas is to be admitted into the Union
BY proclamation of the President. If they
reject it, they are not to be admitted until
they have population of 93,5O0 inhabi-
tants, or enough to entitle them to a Rep-
resentative in Congress Do our up-street
aeighbors see tho disInctiona

they would do we'll hereafter to let their
