WAsa-NGroy, Friday, April q 1853,
The plan Of the Lecomptonitcs as dis
closed to-day, IS to take up the Kansas
bill IN the Senate on Monday, at I o'clock
to vote to insist and demand a conference
Then 10 take the bill Immediately to the
House end put it through ii they can.
The Administration is using its power
IA the full extent to insure success in this
final struggle. Promises to Embassies
and other Offices of fat contracts and O
Southern votes for favori;e measures be
lore Congress, are freely made to meAbers
supposed to h. wayering.
The House, apparently conton!ed will
having shown It's independence, yester
lay racOnsidercd It's vote defeating tho
deficiency appropriation bill, and passed
\ it-Icas III; Nays 81. There IS ljttlt
dispute, we believe, Of the fact that NJ
such bill should ever have been coucoct.
, Cd; but W presume the House woplo
have passed it in pieces if it had stead
lastly refused to pass it altogether We
say this not to justify the passage of thl
. bill, Cor we think it should have beel
0eatea, but merely to indicate that it.
