Mr.. Green's u. S. Senate bill for the
unconditional admission of Kansas under
the Lecompton Constitution, begins thus:
"WmEREAs, the people of tho Territory
of Kansas, BY their representatives IN Con
veu,ion assembled at Lecompton
did form, .for Memselces
Constitution and State Government, re-
publican in form, and the said Convention
has, in their name and Jehav asked the
Con gress of the U. S. to admit the Terri.
tory into the Union,' &c.
We take it upon ourselves to say that
there was never fouler fasehood-a more
black and blistering lie-psnned, than the
foregoing!
The Legislature which called the Le-
compton Convention, it is we'll known,was
not elected BY the people of Kansas, but
of Missouri The Convention itself was
not elected by tho people of Kansas-only
small portion of her people taking any
part. and most Of the votes-under a
fraudulent apportionment-being from
non citizens. The people Of Kansas at q
fair election held on the 4th January, call
ed by On honest chosen Legislature, gave
10000 majority against that Lecompton
Constitution. That Legislature has SOL
emnly protested against said Constitution,
as not the act nor the choice of the people
of Kansas, and has declared itself in favor
of the punishment Of any citizen who shall
attempt to force it over the heads Of the
people.
In face of all these facts, the assertion
that 'thc people of Kansas" nsk Congress
for admission under that Constitution, is
a palpable fasehood-an unblushing li"-
fit only for the last act in the drama which
has been bad faith, deceit, and oppression
from its inception.
SEVEN WITNESSES. George Bancroft
publishes in the New York papers what
be said at the Anti Lccompton meeting in
that city, and in so doing presents seven
witnesses against Lecompton, as follows ::
The circumstautial evidence of the Le-
compton Convention the Kansas Press /;
the Kansas Delegate in Congress the Sc
ries Of Kansas Governors-four in one
year; the Kansas Legislature the Kan
sas People. All, all, he maintains and
with truth, declare that the People Of
Kansas reject the Lccompton Constitution.
THE Kansas Senate, after rejecting the
bill passed by the House Of Delegates i'm
posing the penalty of death upon any Off
Ger acting under the Lecompton Constitu.
ton, unanimously adopted the following
%Kesoised, That in the event OF such ad-
mission, We, in behalf of the people OF the
Territory, as rejecting their fixed and un-
alterable determination upon this subject,
will view the same as declaration Of
war and relying upon the justice Of our
cause, and the united strength of those
who are bound to US by their sympathies
and interest. both East and West, we will
20 into the fight, despite the disparity OF
our position, for extcrmination or success.
WHAT DOUGLAS SAYs.-[A Kansas
correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
writes as follows ::
One of our prominent Free State men,
who has just returned from Washington,
bad several long interviews with Douglas
while there. He states that during one
of them the following dialogue took place
Kansas !Mrn-Thsrcis one thing, g,Judge
Douglas, which you should clearly under
stand. We, in Kansas, intend to use every
regular and legal means to throw OFT this
Lecompton Constitution. But, if these al
fail, and the Administration persists II
forcing the Infamous measure upon US
contrary to the wishes of nine-tenths OF
our people, we ,rW not submit to the out
rage. We shall not stop to think OF TN
Union, or anything else. We will fight thu
Missourians, the devil, or the United states
troops.
Douglas COURSE, YOU wILL-Tot
OUGHT TO!
