THE BEGINNING OF THE END.

The last act Of tho Kansas drama ap-
prcaches. Tho Lecompton constitution is
before Congress, supported by the Prcsi-
dents recommendation and by the whole
power of the executive patronage. Against
it stand the Republicans, Douglas and his
friends, and the entire press and people of
the north. If there are a few democratic
papers at tho north that support this iniqui-
ty, they are not worth naming as exceptions
Every reader of the papers knows that tho
Lceompton constitution was bcgotten in
fraud; that it was made by men who are
not oven inhabitants of Kansas; that it new
er was and is not TO be submitted to the
people of Kansas; that they are opposed to
it by at least 8 to Ii that it establishes
slavery in Kansas and takes away from the
people the power to abolish it in the next
ten years. that it is denounced as fraud and
outrage by Walker and Scranton, both
southern men; that ifpassed through Con-
gress and forced on tho unwilling people of
Kansas by federal troops, it will be an act
of despotism ten times ns fragrant as the
Stamp Act or taxation without representa-
ton; that in spite of these facts-facts ad-
mitted and asserted by democrats as well
as ropublicans--tho President of tho United
States is using his whole official power to
force hispolitical monster through Congress,
and is even now asking for five new regi-
ments to be employed in subduing the poo
pie of Kansas, and enforcing their submis-
sion to government they abhor. If this
constitution passes Congress and the at
tempt is made to establish it in Kansas,
there will bo one moro act in the DRAMA
faEd that will turn it into a tragedy as
bloody as even n firc-eater could desire
The people Of Kansas will take arms to op-
pose the tyranny. They will not submit to
a government they have had no hand in
making. They will rise TO overthrow des-
potism which is not less oppressive to them
than to the slayes themselves. Tho coun-
try will watch with intense interest the pro-
gross of the Kansas drama to its rapidly
approaching close.

AN ITEM OF THE EyIDENcE.-In the U
S. Senate, on tho 4th, Mr.. Wilson of Mass,
referred to the statement of Henry c. Pate,
regarding Kansas affairs, saying that in
eleven lines there were twelve absolute lies,
and the law books Of the Territory would
show it. As to John Calhoun, God never
suffered to walk his green earth a man more
richly deserving to die a traitors death and
to leave traitors name.
Mr.. TooMBs.-Tell him so to his face.
Mr.. Wilson, would on any proper oc-
casion, and would rather say so to his face
than behind his back. l am not afraid Of
border-reffisnism. | can take care of my
self; I'll try it at any rate.
1t is on the testimony of such men as
Pate and Calhoun that the nigger drivers
in Congress are seeking to force the Lecomp-
ton Constitution upon them.

difference between the admission or rejec.
ton, depends simply upon the fact whether
they can themselves moro speedily change
their present constitution, if il does not &c.
cord with the will Of the majority, Or frame
a second constitution TO be submitted 10
Congress hereafter. Even il this were a
question of nero expediency, aud not Of
right, a small difference of time, one way
or tho other, lis not Of tho least importance
whom contrastod with the OWLS which must
necessarily result to the whole country, fiom
the revival of the slavery agitation. 10
considering this question, il should never be
forgotten that, in proportion TO lis insigui6-
cancc, lot the decision be what it NAV, so
far rs it may affect few thousand inhabi.
tants of Kansas who have from the begin.
ming resisted tho constitution and the laws;
for this very reason the rejection Of the
constitution will be so much the moro keen
| ly felt by the people Of fourteen States Of
the Union where slavery is recognized under
the constitution Of tho United States.--
Again: the speedy admission of Kansas in
70 the Union will restore peace aud quiet
TO the whole country. Already the affairs
Of that Territory have engrossed an undue
proportion Of public attention and have sad.
Ily affected the friendly relations Of the peo-
plo of the States with each other, and
alarmed the fears Of patriots for the safety
of the Union.
Kansas once admitted, the excitement be-
comes localized, and would soon die away
for want of outside alimcnt; and then every
difficulty could be settled by the ballot-box.
Besides, and no triAing consideration, shall
then be enabled to withdraw the troops
from Kansas and employ thcm on service
where they arc much needed. They have
been kept there with the earnest importuni-
ty of Governor Walker, to maintain the ex-
istence of the territorial government, and
secure the execution Of laws. He consider
cd at least two thousand regular troops, un-
der the command of Gen. Harney, neces-
sary. Acting upon his reliable informa-
ton have been obliged, in some degree,
to interfere with the expedition to Utah, in
order to keep down the rebellion in Kansas,
which has involved worry heavy expenses to
the government. Kansas once admitted, it
is believed there will no longer be occasion
there for the troops. have thus perform
cd my duty in this important question un-
der a deep sense of my responsibility TO
God and the country. Ny public life will
terminate in brief PERIOD and l have no
other object of earthly ambition than to
leave my country in peaceful and pros
pdrous condition, and to live in the respect
and affections Of my countrymen The
dark and OMNIBUS clouds now impending
over tho Union l conscientously believe
will be dispellod, with honor to every por-
ton of it, by the admission of Kansas du-
ring tho present session of Congress; where
as, if she should be rejected, greatly fear
these clouds will become darker and more

tuition, will be found in thcJourndl to. day.
Of course every one who takes any interest
in the future Of Kansas viii read this docu-
ment. 1t without doubt, contains the most
unblushingly false statements that the peo-
pie of the Union ever listened to, coming
from their Chief Magistrate. WO have

The Herald correspondent says that Mr..
Speaker Orr will not be prepared to an
nounce the names Of the committee of ff-
teen, as called for by the resolution of Mr..
Harris, until tomorrow. The majority will
be men not opposed to tho admission OF
Kansas undeg tho Lecompton constitution.
1t is pretty certain that the Lccompton con-
stitution will pass. / am informed, on the
very best authority, that quite number
who voted for the reference to the special
committee, will vote for its admission on
its final passage.
Official information has been received
that Free State Legislature and Free
State officers have been elected in Kansas.
1t is understood that the Senate will take
up, Immediately, tho Kansas business, and
pass bill for the admission of that State
probably at the same time with Minnesota
Tho Times correspondent says that Clay
only expects TO make ono more speech, a
disunion is at hand The plan is, on the
rejection Of Kansas, for the delegations
from South Carolina, Alabama, Georgi;
and Mississippi to vacatc their seats and g
home. 1t is supposed that these States
win at once call convention for a dissolu
tion of the Union, and it is hoped thai
North Carolina, Texas and Louisiana vii
follow suit. No cool-headed man of ciths

h .4olsS4rofs Sc. Louis, Feb. o.ss
The Leavenworth correspondent Of the
Democrat says, the bill providing for the
constitution has passed the Kansas LegisIa-
ture. Letters from Lawrence, in tho Lcay.
en- worth papers, contain accounts of the
proceedings Of the Board Of Commissioner
appointed to investigate tho election frauds.
Mr.. Mclean, chief clerk in the surveyor
generals office, testified to having sent tho
returns Of both elections TO Platte City, at
Calhoun's request; and that he had not seen
them since. Tho Deleware Crossing re-
turns had never been received Mt Lecomp-
ton.
This was doubted, and Sheriff Walker
was dispatched to Lccompton to search
Calhoun's office. He found buried in tho
ground under woodpile the identical re-
turns which Mclean sworo to having sent TO
Plato City.
Coy. Denver, the Speaker of the House,
and the President Of the Senate examined
them and swear 10 the same.

turns arc also amorg them, footing $40

on Friday evening, on the proposition to rc-
fer The Presidents message together with
tho Lecompton constitution to special

the fact, that while the President transmit
tcda copy Of the Minnesota constitution and
the official returns Of the election, making
no recommendation concerning its admission
as State, he sent in n copy Of the Lceom-
ton constitution with no returns, but with q
recommendation that Kansas be admitted
under that instrument. Tho Presidents
