Lecomptonism ut the south.

We are pleased to see by our Southern ex-
changes that Leconptonism has a large num-
Der of sturdy and able opponents at the South.
The subject is treated more calmly and ra-
tiOnally by the opposition at the South, than
by large portion of the anti Lecompton
Press ut the North The Yicksburg Whig
in reply to Lecompton assailant, shows
that the state right party-now the unscru-
pulous justife7s of Mr.. Buchanan's Kansas
policy-in their State Convention only one
year ago, adopted the report of a Committee
that laid down principles as fundamental
that are directly at war with those they now
uphold in order to sanction the Lecompson
fraud. The Whig says in the state right
Convention of 1857, the ablest leaders of the
states rights party laid down the doctrines
that whenever the Sovereignty of the State
had actedn (which it can ouly do in Con'sH-
sIvu,T PaIPGUry uO0vsraIy &" chat thelf
action should be submitted to n vote of the
people. The same report says this was "a
universal rule, one never hitherto violated by
the practice of any State in the Union."-
This same state right party in Mississippi,
in 1855 are repudiating their own doctrines
OF 1857, and are contending that there is no
more authority or necessity for submitting a
Constitution to direct vote of the people
than there is that every Statute passed by a
Legislature should be approved by popular
vote. These falacies and Inconsistencies are
ably exposed, and it is evident that the anti
Lecompton party at the South have the
strength of the argument, and a good many
votes on their side. The fre-eaters and dis
unionists will not have all things their own
way even at home. Good sense and patriot
ism are not without ardent and numerous
supporters at the South.

Mr.. Crittenden.s Speech.

The Baltimore American, a highly able
and conservative Southern paper, thus speaks
of Mr.. Crittenden and his recent admirable
speech, that will have more influence in turn
ing the South to conviction OF its interest
and duty than all other speeches Of the ses-
sion.
"Mr. Crittenden is one of the very few old
school statesmen and Legislators now remain
ing in Congress. His presence and voice re-
call an era that has now passed away ana

weighty eloGuence of Webster and the tlari-
on notes of Clay gave elegance, brillianev

sectional prejudice, ignoring all narrow party
interests, and cultivating the same disposition
to maintain the right, neither intimltated by

phistry and casuistry.
| The whole speech of Senator Crittenden is
an earnest invocation for the application oil
eminent principles of honor and justice ID
our national affairs, and it has struck Key
note which will be echoed throughout the
country. 1t is q new and effective occupa-
ton of the high, conservative, ground once
held almost universally by Southern states

doned through low appeals to self interest
ard by the cultivation of n pusillanimous
fear that the interests and prosperity OF the
SOuth were seriously threatened. A patri-
| arch in wears, a veteran in craftsmanship,
faithful and long trusted leader OF the South
with all his interests connected with tina
section, Mr.. Crittcnden's voice rises above tn,
roar OF sectional strife, and his counsels de-
mand q respect beyond the advice of thos,
who cannot possess his experience, and hav'
not tile opportunity to furnish such pledge
of patriotism and devotion to the country

that have found an unhappy utterance in tn

H- The Administration papers in the

tR The Administration papers in the
West seem to delight in reiterating the false
hood that the masses are in favor Of the Ie-
compton swindle. The Louisville Courier,
whose editor is determined to pay the Presi-
dent for the appointment of Collector of that
port, says, that the Democrats in Kentucky
opposed to the Lecompton Constitution could
be accommodated in room twenty feet square,
without crowding it." The object of this
system of misrepresentation is to strengthen
the hands Of the Southern fre-eaters and
Northern-doughfaces and Office seekers in
forcing the Lecompton Constitution through
the Lower House. The same game has been
played in this District, and our Representa-
tive has already received letter from the
whippers-in of the party endorsing his course
and stating that the majority of the people of
this District were in favor of the Admins
tration. The men who make these state
ments in their papers, and the men who sign
letters to weak representatives endorsing
such course, know, Just as well as we know,
that the masses are irreconcilably opposed to
this violation of popular sovereignty, and
that the Lecompton Constitution is damned
beyond redemption in the popular Judgment.
Men who have fat offices, or are in search OF
such, may be wheedied into the support OF
the man who holds their bread and butter in
his hands, but the honest masses, who only
support men, as they reflect their sentiments,
will refuse, as they have always refused, to
sustain such bill of iniquity. And yet we
are told by the advertisers Of mail lettings
and Navy supplies, that the people are in fa-
yor of the admission Of Kansas under Con-
.titution known to have been conceived in
fraud. Where are the indications Of this
