The Reaction on Lecompton.

We are glad to note a healthy reaction
in the public mind relative to the Leeomp-
ton Constitution Gradually, in the face
of all misrepresentation, is the fact work.
ing itself into the pubic mind, that the
admission of Kansas under that instru-
ment is the shortest method of settling
the unhappy existing difficulties. The
people see that the Lecompton Ccnstitu
ton gives to the people of Kansas control
Of the affairs of Kansas, and thinking that
such a consummation is tho one of all o,h-
ers most devouily to be wished, are begin
ming 10 to wonder why it should be OPP
posed and delayed. We predict now,
that in six months afer Lecompton goes
through Congress, as VIC are sure it will
go through, it will be universally recog
nized as one of the wisest measure that
was ever adopted by that body. We ad-
wise our contemporaries, who have followed
Stephen A. Douglas into a very awkward
position on this matter, to make u note
Of our prophesy, and cast around for some
means by which to accommodate them
selves to the coming order of things.-

Bank of Cleveland.

Mr.. Stone, Chase's Treasurer of State
at Columbus, has notified the public that
after the LIST of next March, the notes of
the Canal Bank of Cleveland will not be
received by him. After that date then,
they will probably be worthless. All
persons therefore having notes of the Ca
nal Bank of Cleveland, had better be run
ming them home The Banks in Canton
and Massillon will take fhe paper at par
for a time. The Merchants Bank at
Massillon, the officers inform us, will re-
ceive the paper of the Canal Bank to tie
latest moment that they can forward it to
Columbus, in time for redemption.
We think it contomptibls in Treasurer
Store to thus take snap judgement on the
people. The time given is entirely too
short and if adhered to we fear will cause
a loss to the public.-Staq Co. Dem.
