G1-The proof Of the conspiracy to force
q slave State Constitution upon Kansas is
unqpastioned, and the proof that Douglas
was one OF the chief conspirators accumu.
lates day by day.
In speech delivered by Judge Kellogg, 81
Havana, Illinois, the other day, he brought
forward the following clincher
lie said that just before the adjournmsn,
Of the last bogus Legislature in Kansas, that
body passed the net creating the Lecomptou
Convention. This act was almost fac sim
lie Of the Toombs- Douglas bill which had
been forced through the Senate but blocka.
ded in tho House. 1t contained no provision
for submission Of the Constitution to the
people, just as the Toombs- Douglas bill CON
taincd none. 1t WINS presented to Governor
Geary for his approval. Gov. Geary sent
for the trainers Of the bill (see Dr.. Gihon',
History Of tho Geary Administrations and
told them they must put in clause gusran'
teeing submission Of the Constitution to
the people. They told him they could MOI
do 80, because the Lecompton bill was the
last hope Of slavery in Kansas. "Well, then,
replied the Governor, 81 shall veto it," "Dt
so," retortcd the eonspirators. "We viii
pass it over your veto; and then look out fol
yourself! Veto that bill, and you do it n
your peril !" The bill was passed; the Gov
ernor vetoed il; il Was passed over bis head
and then Geary was obliged to fee for hi
life. SNOW" asked Judge H., "where is th
man whoever heard Stephen A Douglas con
denim that bllp Did be not make speecl
in Springfield shortly afterwards in which b
said tho nc. creating the Convention 10 be
lieved to be fair in oil its provisions
charge upon him a knowledge and . part il
the conspiracy, both before and after tn
act."

We have already noticed the remarkable
conversion Of Senator Davis, OF Mississip-
pi, to Unionism. II would seem, from tho
following item taken from the Charleston
Mercury, that tho penitent 6re.eater has been
rewarded by an LII. D., from Bowdoin Col
lege, Maine:
We see it stated that, at the recent COM
msncement of Bowdoin College, Maine, the
degree Of LII. d. Was conferred on the Hon.
VIM. Pitt Fcssenden, Senator from Maine,
and on tho Hon. Jefferson Davis, Senator
from Mississippi, in the Congress Of the Uni
ted States.
Mr.. Fessenden has been for many years one
Of the leading Abolitionlsts Of Maine. That
Mr.. Davis should DO honored BY this
association Of his name With Mr.. Fessenden's
in the honor conferred by college crammed
full with Aeolitionists, 10 undoubtedly ut

clause stricken out, than it was the bill
of any pages of the Senate, and fraud
has.heen practiced upon the country in
sending it abroad as his bill. This will
be more manifest from reading the fourth
section of Mr.. Montgomery.s bill, taking
the place of the 4th section of Critten
den's, already quoted:
SEC. A. And be it further enacted,
that in the elections hereby authorized
ak white male inhabitants of said Terri.
tory, over the age Of 81 years, who are
legal voters under the laws of the terri>
tory of Kansas, and none others, shall
be allowed to vote; and this shall be
the only qualification required to emit
tie the voter to the right of suffrage in
said elections
Day and night cannot be more dissim-
liar than these two provisions, and we
take back what we said on Saturday,
about the Americans having been the
only party to achieve a triumph by the
passage of this bill Changed as it was,
by the action Of the Black Republican
caucus, no virility was lief, in it as an
American measure, and we must express
our surprise that any member of that
party could be found to vote for it.
We could have applauded them for the
generaiship displayed in ENGRAVING up
on the bill such principle as that con-
tanned in the Crittenden bill-forcinc it
upon the Black Republicans, as it were,
at the hazard Of mourning the defeat of
the measure; but we cannot think much
OF their principles or their policy, in
yielding to a total change of that sec
ton of the bill. After that was done,
there was nothing left for them to con-
tend for, for they, as party, gained
nothing by the passage of the substi-
tute.
The Crittenden bill having been thus
emasculated, it was perfectly competent
for Mr.. Blair to vote for the substitute
He did, in former time, intrigue with
Americans for their support, and put
himself in very equiyocal positions, and
we give him ali the advantage of this
explanation. He is put right on the
record to>day, in the bill which is pub
lished as Montgomery's bill, and which
emanated from a Black Republican eau

From the Kansas Crusader of Free
dom, "extra," edited by J. Rcdpath
and dated March Goth, 1858, tsays the
Burlington Gaaetfe,) we clip the follow
ing and present it for the consideration
Of all honest minds. 1t is an open
avowal of tho hypocricy Of the Free
State organization as it existed under
the control of Jim Lane and others
Redpath, it cannot be denied, was in
the secret and fully posted as 20 the
movements Of the leaders of that organ
ization both in and out of the Territory
and this avowal Of its purposes and his
denunciation Of Jim Lane, will have the
effect to open the eys Of many who have
heretofore "went it blind" as to the
true state of affairs in that i'll fated Ter
ritory. Rebpath says:
"The Crusader Of Freedom, hence
forth, will not be the organ of any par
ty, or any man, the editor alone expect
ed, and will refuse to support any tick
ct or any political aspirant who does not
announce himself openly az Repu5li-
can. Regarding the Frec-State party
as an organized hypocricy--kept up sole
~ for the purpose Of promoting the po-
litical designs of a number of ambitious
dcmagogues-I shall refuse to fight un-
der that banner any longer, but will
hoist the Republican flag. Kansas is
free. The mission Of the Prostate
party is ended There is no organized
Pro-Slavery party in Kansas now, and
no possible use Of any organized oppo-
si,ion to-nothing But there are two
distinct political parties in Kansas-the
Republicans and the Democrats, and
the tendency Of the Yree-S State organi-
cation is to invest the Democrats with
power IF they are in majority we
are willing to submit to their rule but,
believing as we do, that they are in
hopeless minority we shall hereafter re-
spectfully decline to vote for them.
Having been nearly ruined by the
conduct of Gen Jas. II. Lane, | shall
not continue to write his Autobiogra-
ply, Articles, Reports or any other of
his illusions, nor publish them, except
as advertisements, when they are writ
ten by other young pen who have not
yet been deceived by his specious prom-
ises. Gen Lane will have no control,
direct or indirect, over the columns of
this journal; and if any attempt is
made by him, or by any of his agents,
to renew the disturbances in the Terri
tory, | shall oppose him as resolutely as
l would resist any other aspiring poli.i-
cian."

Crittenden IS Substitute, Mont
gornery's Amendment, &c.
LUoF.

The telegraph, the newspapers, news,
paper correspondents, and everything
else, when referring to the vote of the
House Of Representatives whereby the
Senate Kansas bill was made to give
place to substitute, all spoke Of it as
Crittenden's Substitute. 1t was so spo-
ken of in every quarter, and, OF course,
reference was made to the bill as intro
duced by Mr.. Crittenden in the Senate,
but IN one Of its most important features
the substitute is as unlike MIR. Critten-
deus bill as any thing that can we'll be
conceived. Mr.. Crittenden, being an
American, was exceedingly anxious to
engratt distinctive feature of the
American principle on this bill. He
therefore provided
SEC. a. And be it further enacted,
That in the elections hereby authorized.
all white male Inhabitants of said Terri
tory, over the age of twenty one years,
who have been residents for three
months before the election, and are cit
liens Of the United States, and none
others, shall be allowed to vote and
this shall be the only qualification re-
CURED to entitle the citizen to the right
OF suffrage in said elections.
But it seems that Mr.. Crittenden's
bill, after it was defeated in the Senate.
got into the Black Republican caucus,
and there it was emasculated--the only
clause in it that could recommend it to
Americans, cut out-and in shape it
was presented to the House by Mr..
Montgomery, and adopted. It was no
more Dir. crittenden's bill, with this
