REJOICINGS OF THE ENEMIES OF THE SOUTH
The defeat Of the Kansas bill in the House is hailed
with the most e1trsvsgant demonstrations Of joy by
the AbOtOnists Of the Nor tn of all parties. In the
belief that the final blow has been struck st Southern
equality in the Union, their e1ultatiOn knows no
bounds. Ofcourse We have no right to be surprised
at such manifestations Of e1ultatiOn by those who
have foF years past made no secret their nveterste
hostility to the South Of their determination
TO set the laws and constitution Of the country at
dehnanse in their efforts to destroy our institutions
however Inundated and mortified we may feel at
the fact that their victory has been achieved by the
detection of profsssed friends and the treachery Of
sons Of the South By reference to the statement Of
the vote onthe adOptOnOfCRITTEE amendment,
it will be found that eight Southern Americans VOtsd
sriih the Black republicans, whose eight votes had
they been given in favor Of the Lecompton Constitd-
tion, would have given the South majority of four,
and thus secured the passage Of the bill as it came
from the Senate.
We perceive that some hope is still entertained of
the final passage of the Senate bill. A Washington
dispatch in the Baltimore Sun says
Notwithstanding the result to-day on the Kansas
bill the friends of the Lecompton constitution sre
the fact Of AZ majority against its rejection as evil
dence Of the disposition Of the majority to admit
Kansas in some shape under the LecOmpton consti-
tuition.
The Senate WILL tomorrow, non-concur in the
House amendment to the Kansas bill, and the demo.
cratic calculation is that the vote will be very close
in the House the question to recede from it. and
a strong effort will be made with that view Should
this fail the disagreement must 20 to Joint com
mittee Of conference and on their report the ques
ton viii be presented again.
The New York JoupHsl Of Commerce SAYS:
It will be seen from the annexed despstcb from
our Washington correspondents that the friends of
the Senate bill do Despair Of its passage These
Democrats that vote 1.-THE CTittenden amendment
having done all in their power to perfect the bill &C.
cording to their own VieSs, will now some Of them
least feel st liberty TO recede and give their final
vote for the Senate bill We trust they will do so,
and that thus Kansas will be brought Immediately
into the Union.
WASHINGTON, April THE Leoompton bill is not
dead The Democratic leaders declare that the Sen
bill viii still pass the House, after the failure of
Mr.. Montgomery substitute in Senate.
In the mean time enemies of the South are enjoy
ing their triumph in a spirit that shows how deep
seated and bitter is their hostility to the LecOmpton
Constitution A New York letter, Of the Ist inst,
says:
The news from Washington, that the Administrs-
ti0n has been beaten on the Leconpton bill created
an immense sensation throughout this city this af-
ternoon. The newspaper offices were crowded with
politicians and others talking over it as the great
event Of the day, and specializing upon what next is
to follow.
The Administration Democracy take their bad luck
with good deal Of philosophy, laying it all at the
doors Of what they call a grand combination of
traitors the Democratic party, with Abolitionsts
Black Republicans and Dark Lanterns, SC
ThksBepublicans are in high spirits, and have no
seriods msgyiugs to the result when the bill goes
back to the Senate. That body they expect, will
nUn-concUr and thus the bill will sink quietly into
its grave.
The Americans claim the victory IS one entirely
their own and are disposed TO look upon the adop-
ton Of the " Crttenden amendment" as the begin.
ming Of a new era, in their prospects, as q party,
seeking for national Importance.
Arrangements are making for q grand salute in
the Park, tonight. to celebrate the event. The
Americans will fire on their own hook, not going
shares with the Republicans; but the Republicans
will probably burn some powder on their own ac-
count.
The n. Y. Commercial Republican, of Friday says
A National Salute Of one hundred and twenty
guns will be fred from the Battery at sunset this
evening in honor Of the vote Of the House Of Rep
resentaves in favor Of Popular Sovereignty in Kan
sas There will be a display Of fireworks in the
Park at p. N. Those who rejoice in the House
vote on Leoompton invited to be present.
