entice and entrap the people OF Kansas into the
ratification, under the ambiguous English submis-
sion. of the Lecompton swinde, the one chiefly
relied upe q. no doubt, will be the giving out some
time since by Mr. Regent Calho1n of his intention
10 disregard the forged returns submitted through
Jack Henderson, aud to give the Free-S'ate men
usiority in the Legislature. The argument pressed
upon the people of Kansas will be the same hitherto
pressed upon Congress and the country-that the
adoption of the LecOmpton Constitution, With the
State Legislature in Free-State hsnds, IS the
shortest and surest method of undoing the Gordian
knot of Kansas affairs, and of casting oil the bonds
in which BY mingled force and fraud, the people oil
that territory have been involved.
It is not TO be believed, however, that the people
of Kansas can be tricked in this way into putting
their hand into the lions mouth. Credulous, N
deed, must they be to risk their future, in the
slightest degree, upon the word-the bare word
Of man Ike Calhoun. This man has impudenty
deceived them several times already. He obtained
BIZ, election to the Lecompton Convention on the
strength of a written and published declaration IN
favor of submitting the Constitution to be framed
BY that Convention to the popular vote. There
cannot be doubt that he vas perfectly cognizant
Of and party TO- the fraud perpetrated By Hender'
son: nor can there be doubt that he still
mt, nds. if be ever has the opportunity, 10
carry that fraud into practical operation.
Had not such been the understanding and de-
sign of the getters-up and the supporters of the
English double entendre, the embry Legislature of
the embryo State would not have been lett In
state of incubation in the secret recesses OF Cal
houn's breeches pocket. II there we're no other
objection whateyer to the adoption OF the Lecomp'
ton Constitution aid the organization OF State
Government under it, there would be most abund-
ant reason for Indignantly rejecting it in the fact
that il places it in the power of single individual
and that individual candidate for the United
States Senate, t. impose upon the new State
sham Legislature, and sham State officers, sure to
be recognized aud sustained as the Legitimate State
Government by the authorities at Washington, and
against whom even in Kansas itself, there would be
10 legal means of redress, any resource short of
armed resistance.
Can il be supposed for moment that with the
whole game in his own hands, Calhoun would forego
the profit and pleasure of seat in the United States
Senate, in company so agreeable and 80 sympathetic
as the Administration msjority of that honorable
body! Can it be supposed for moment that,
with the power, conferred upon him by their own
folly. to trample the FreeState men under his heel
and to carry out to the letter the original LecOmp-
ton programme, John Calhoun will overlook him
self and his friends for the sake of placing Lane
and Robinson in the United States Senate Even
upon the utterly absurd assumption that such
man as Calhoun would, if left to himself, ever
think of adopting such a course, it is not to be
supposed that Dir. Buchanan and those at whose
risk and under whose instruction he acts, are pre-
pared TO submit to any such Notifying result
1t is not to be supposed that having made such
sacrifices of his own word pledged over aud over
again, publicly and privately, Of truth of honor of
bis own respect aid of that of the public Mr. Blu
chanan would ever consent to allow the word and
honor of John C,lhOun-if such negative quantities
can be spoken of as reaties-tO stand in the way of
a substantial triumph. Mr.. Buchanan, having for
feited bis own word having broken his own private
pledges to Gov Walker and his public pledges to the
American people for the rake of forcing upon the
people of Kansas fraudulent border-ruffian, Pro-
Slavery Constitution, surely John Calhoun could
never be permitted to set up his word, bis pledges
his honor as interfering with the organization under
that Constitution of fraudulent, border ruffian
Pro-Slavery Government to match. Like mas
ter Ike man. 1t surely would be unreasonable to
expect that, in the matter of adherence to his word
Calhoun should Guido Buchanan. Surely it would
be childish to suppose that the godfathers of so
manifest trick as the English submission have
not still another trick in reserve.
