The kansas Question-Daynght at Last-Ths
DisOsEsnizers Defeated.
According to our latest accounts from Wash
ington we have every reason to anticipate,
within day or two, the final settlement Of the
Kansas question upon q compromise between
the two houses, under the auspices of the ad-
ministration. In view Of this satisfactory die
position of this troublesome business, some of
our opposition contemporaries, we perceive, are
very much cast down, and exceedingly mortified
at the conciliatory inclinations Of some Of the
more sensible members Of the Douglas demo.
cracy.
The plan is to get up between the two houses
such a modification of the Crittenden- Montgo-
merry bill that, instead of providing for the ad-
mission Of the new State by the President in
the event Of the ratification Of either the LIE
compton or q new constitution, the bill will pro-
vide for the submission Of the ratified constitu-
ton to Congress. This policy, if adopted will
necessarily defer the admission Of Kansas till
the next session for the rejection of the LIE
compton constitution and the adoption and rst-
ficatior of a new one in Kansas can hardly be
consummated in the interval to the adjournment
Of the present session, even though it should be
prolonged till September.
But as the only insurmountsble difficulty to
the admission forthwith under the Lecompton
constitution has been the fact that II WAS not
the people, We have no doubt that the plan in
dicated will slip, through both houses as easily
az glove and put an end to the whole contro-
versy. The transfer of the actual deed of ad
mission to the next session will be mere mat
ter Of form, with the terms OF the proceeding
distinctly pre-. determined. The interval, too
will be advantageous to law and order in Kan
sas, and to careful, methodical and deliberate
State organization.
We think, therefore, that day or two in ad-
vance we may congratulate our conservative
readers Of all sections and parties upon the
happy solution Of this vexed question of "bleed
ing Kansas" and upon the exact policy indi-
Gated in the Kansas administration and official
views OF Mr.. Buchanan. He has said that it
wac his wish to have the Lecompton constitution
referred TO the people, yea or nay, before the
act Of its submission to Congress but. mas
much as the Lecompton Convention possessed
the discretion Of submission or noneubmission,
he was compelled to accept their constitution as
delivered into his hands from the President of
the Convention.
An act Of Congress, then, referring the said
constitution back to the popular vote of Kan
sss 20 far from being defeat OF the policy Of
Mr.. Buchanan viii be the triumph of that
policy. This triumph will involve victory
over the anti slavery holy alliance Of the North
greater than anything that has been achieved
over this sectional organization since the an
nexation Of Texas This victory is involved in
the extor.ed concession from this violent ''no
more slave State party Of the important prin-
ciple that proslavery constitution shall here
after be no bar to the admission Of a new State
in the event of q constitution of this character
coming before Congress with the ratification of
the people Of the State.
The settlement indicated, however, will not
be the only victory achieved by the sdministra-
ton over the factious cliques and sectional
demagcgues of Congress The bill for increas-
ing the army, which was first thrown out by
both houses, has become q law; and the dc
ficiency bill Of appropriations TO meet the debts
Of the government on account of the Utah
army, which was 6rst rejected by decisive ma
jority In the House, has been reconsidered and
passed. Thus, 1t Will be seen, that not only
upon Kansas, but also upon other important
measures the factious disoreanizers of Congress
are rapidly coming to terms. From and after
the final disposition Of the Kansas controversy
the administration, If We arc not greatly de-
oeived, will hold a position OF political and
moral power fully competent TO keep all these
sectional and fsetious elements of disorganiza-
ton. in Congress and throughout the country
under the wholesome restraints Of discipline or
submission
