Lecompsonst. st.tesman.hip.


II there is anything amusing in gross
and uoprincipled attempt to centralize pow
sr BY invading the inalienable rights of the
people and depriving them of sovereign
power. 1t is to be found in the untenable
and changing positions Of the Lecomptouites
and in the arguments advanced to compass
their object. The history thus far of the
Lecomptonite proceedings, shows the most
contemplate pettifogging that ever dis
graced the Government Of free people.
and is only equalled by the capricious will
Of absolute despotism over subjects who have
not yet learned-"That those who would be
free themselves must strike the blow"
First, appears Mr. Buchanan, the chief
Executive Of the nation, with a message ar.
guing ably 10 favor Of the Democratic prin.
ciple in relation to Territories, and pro.
bouncing them to be the Fundamental
principles Of our free institutions" but new
ertheless. recommending and strenuously y
urging their violation. A course only prac.
tically equalled by the contemplate and
antaganistical reasoning and order of the
Supreme Court Of California in the Archy
case. He sends the Lecompton constitution
which has been voted down by the people of
Kansas, to Congress, accompanied with an
urgent recommend that it be accepted, but
transmits the constitution Of Minnesota,
which has been ratified and endorsed by the
people. without an accompanying word Of
comment

to say what shall DO the fundamental law of

A similar course is pursued by the un-
principed Lecomptonites of the lower House
Of Congress The House having referred
the subject to special committee with in
structions to investigate, the Lecompton
Speaker appointed a majority Of Lccomp'
,onitc members upon that committee. The
result is that they have twice declined by
a vote of 8 to 7. to carry out their instruc-
tons, and at lass accounts, had adjourned
for q week by the above vote Such is the
manner in which these sectional fanatics
discharge their sworn duty to their coun-
try. Can they claim that their conduct is
honest, conscientious or patriotic
