.y,ied pothipg to stay the hands Of the President
and his hackers. In the face Of it, they drove
,troush the Senate bill forcing K.nss, into TIE
Union uncer the rejected 6etesteo LEGO npton Con-
sttutiop, thus claiming her to the car OF slavery
sesiLst her known aud all but uutr imous VIII. And
wheD the House, oyerrulrg the President and his
hackers, yitAry amended the bill, 60 SIS to let the
People Of Ksnns have q new AID fair opportunity
to accept or Itjsct Le,omPten, aud, In cMe they
rejected It, LET tt6m proceed TO frame and ADOPT
a lew Constitution, under which, when
duly ratified by them, the President should
a. orce, by pubic proclamation declare
them admitted into and State OF the
Upiop. the Pre.ideDts Senatorial ms ority rejected
ibis almost without reading, and insisted that the
House should accept and psss theis original Lee
COMPTON bin. On the House refining this, com.
promise was con.rivei by Mr. Eoslish Of Indi,os
ard adopted by the votes Of all tie Lecomptonites
AID few hitherto hlti.Leeompton Democrats who
were induced to join them-a compromise which,
while It cd not attempt directly to force Leconp-
ton on tie People 81 Kansas, snce that was proved
in practicable allowed them only In an indirect and
Juggling way to rid themselves Of tina! instrument,
snd punished them for not accepting It By pre-
scribipg that while they might come at once into
the Union pnder Lecompton without inquiry or
consideration as to their numbers, they should not
be admitted under any other Constitution until they
shall have taken regular CENSUS and shown that
they have 93,340 inhabitants. This provision Is
rtw the law Of the handmade 80 by the votes Of
the LeoopptOn and English majority against the
protest and votes Of all the Republican and o;her
anti. LecOmptOn membeu-msde so By the ap-
proyal Of James Buchanan. This law must be re-
penled or overcome in order to let Kansas come
Ito tie Union De1t Winter, though Oregon,
Sham Democratic State with smaller population,
is morally certain TO be admitted. And this rauk
Injustice was perpetrated, and is still upheld, BY
those who are every day reteratiug that Lecomp-
ton Ia bygoDe affair-ihst the Kansas question is
settled.
Settled, is it BY what BY whom It is
settled that the people Of Kansas are hostile to Le-
compton and al other contrivances to force Slavery
upon them; but that was settled long ago, and you
pever regarded the settlement-how do We know
you will Low Had you not persisted in garng
wrong, Kansas would now be in or coming into the
Union under free Constitution Of her choice. Ste
is kept out by your persistence in forcing Lecomp'
ton upon her aid Furnishing her repugnaoce to it as
coltumacy; how can you cay anything is settled
til you shall have undone this wrong No, Sirs
nothing is settled while Kansas remains out Of the
Union, and that most iuvioious requirement of
population of 93 $40, embodied in your English BILL
stands legal barrier to her admission.
But suppose that wrong desisted from, can the
American People at once forget the deed and re-
Gew their trust in the doors Csu they delibs-
ratey and freshly intrust their rights, their li6er
ties their interests, TO those who strained all their
ffcisl well pers ,nal influence aud prostitused
the power and patron Of the Government to
free Lecompton naked through Congress Can
they forget that not only Buchanan aud the habtua
dougbfaces, but .nch subdued reyolters from slave
domination as Dix, John Van Buren, and John
CochIane lent their aid to fore, Lecompton through
Congress and thus fasten it upon protesting strug
Cling Kausas
No, they canrot forget these recent memorable
fscts-at Least, those who ever had any vital con-
victiols on the subject cannot Throughout the
late long Session the country saw its pressing pub
lie business neglected, prostrate National To-
tustry dsregsrded, our dilapidated Fioances left
to fall into stil deeper ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
which should have commanded the attention Of
Congress no. merely subordinated but Ignored,
While that one purpose Of forcing Kansas into the
Union as Slave State, or Furnishing her contumacy
in resisting the conspiracy, was relenslessly, en-
grossipgly pursued. Lovers Of Liberty and jus
tce mark the men and their measures Remem-
