THE CHEYALIER WEBB.

There is scarcely within the limits of the
confederacy who has attained TO bad eminence'
conspicuous, who has occupied it with such
uninterrupted constancy this redonbtabe Chew
aer. AS soldier, in which capacity we believe,
he first dazzled the delighted vision of the world,
he fully established an envable notorety IN his
celebrated encounter with Duff Green; in which the
Chevalier undertook to chastse the General but
was persuaded from his purpose by the glitter of f"a
hogany stocked pistol under the influence of which
the renowned Chcvaer s said to have shown him
self one of the " best goers" in the States. He
was, beyond all doubt inside of - two forty.
The Chevaler lost nothing of his previous reputa-
ton but added greatly to it, in his passage-atarms
with Tom Marshall, of Kentucky. The Chevalier,
by innumerable feats has long since established the
unblemished whiteness of his liver and the indspu-
table backness of his heart As imancier, the
Chevalier is equally conspicuous the dexterity with
which he lined his pockets with the gold of the
United States Bank could only be equalled by the
adroitness with which he paid the debt-a viany
and fraud aptly cancelled by bankruptcy and in
sovency. How appropriately would the Chevaler 8
shield be quarered with armoria bearings, of white
liver and a lame duck

These are the italics of the Democrat. They give,
and were intended to give, emphatic expression 10
the opinion that admission will be satisfactory TO "a
large majority of the people of Kansas" " The
reason assigned by the Democrat, in conclusion that
it will deprive the "agtators' of speciality, and
will demonstrate the wisdom of the policy of the
administration, is significant indeed.
Now, gentlemen anti-Lecomptontes. if you are
honest in your opposition to admission-we free
to say require proof of tiff you sincerely de-
sire to protect the people of Kansas-you have not
shown tiff you patriotic, and would get rid of
question which is made to engross threefourths of
the time of Congress you have certainly given no
evidence of this-then say to you, Thursday
next, through your leader in the House, proclaim
to the country your readiness to pass the Senate
bill. Never again will such an opportunity be ai-
forded you to pay tribute to your patriotism and
serve the cause of Justice and truth.

ANOTHER SIGN.

An Albany correspondent of the New York Ex-
press furnishes facts relative to new party ar
rangements now in contemplation. Speaking of the
Statesman, political journal published at that
city, the correspondent says:
's The general opinion to be that the Statesman
is to be the organ of the opposition with sound, con
servave American platform shorn of Kansas shriekes
and Kansas bceders forever is understood that two
thirds of the republicans in favor, in the con
sruction of parties of this proposition which would
make winning and glorious band throughout the Union
with leaders like Crittenden, Bell Rayncr, Marshall
Banks Havens Hcadey Putnam, King, Hunt, Stewart
and last but by least Douglas Of the Senate
Probably the last named is really the head of the
coalition. The simultaneous movements at Albany
and at Washington are evidently concerted and
their rests upon the expectation that the
publican party is to be merged into new organiza-
tion having new leaders and new platform. The
present leaders of the republican party here to
be willing to sell out the whole party, if anything
can be made by it.

A VOICE FROM KANSAS.

The Lccompton National Democrat has heretofore
been exceedingly severe upon those who framed the
Lecompton constitution, and all who favored tho
admission of Kansas under it, 1t has been the terri
torial organ of Governor Walker. 1t seems, how
ever, that the Democrat has given up its opposition.
That paper of the llth instant contains the follow
ing:
1--WE understand that the majority of the Committee
Territories in the Senate of the United States have
ported bill for the admission of this Territory into the
Union State, rch ignores portion Of the schedule of
the Lccompton constitution, and admits the right of the

ton whenever they please after the State is organized

FULL ATTENDANCE IN THE HOUSE

The importance of full attendance of members

Absence at such time this could not be com

nary occasions. The absence of three or four DEM

embarrass the whole programme of action contem-
plated by the party, which it would require days

AFRAID OF THE TRUTH,

One OF the resorted to by the anti -Lecompton
democrats sustain themselves at home is to conceal
the truth from their constituents keep from them all
and arguments favorng the admission of Kansas
under the Lecompton constitution and to furnish them
only with such documents and speeches favor their
side of the question. This Is the game that being
played in Illinois, will be by the following

dehOrs the record Of which alone Congress has eogn
zance
There is but one other objection to and
form worthy of notice which is the allegation that
fifteen or nineteen Of the counties Of Kansas were
without representation in the Lecompton convention.
We will not urge the fact, which has been abundant
ly shown in the discussions and Investigations by
Congress, that most of these counties We're mere
counties on the map, and not counties of people and
that none OF the inhabitants of them were deprived
OF representation except 10y their laches fac
hous refusal to be registered and to vote. This
objection, too, is afterthought and mere pretext
1t was never heard of until after the Lecompton
stitution framed IL was invented by Governor
Walker and Mr.. Stanton Crusoe and Friday--whose
prior career in their little kingdom of Kansas was
most distinguished by the energy and zeal with
which they endorsed every step that had been
taken in getting up the Lecompton convention
and constitution. 1t was only when in consequence
of Walkers and Stanton's billings and cooings
with the abotonists, and invitation from them
to seek refuge at Lawrence, tho convention
lost confidence in these men, aud intrusted the
execution of the trusts delegated by their schedule
to President Calhoun rather than to them that we
heard for the first time the authority and integrity of
the convention attacked, and that saw this plea
Of the Acknowledgement, of fifteen counties, rumped
up Moreover, the head and front of opposition to
this constitution is made by seeding democrats, who
are all thoroughly committed to the validity of the
convention which framed the instrument as even
Walker and Stanton.
The fact is, that, in respect to the form and
mode in which it framed and adopted, the
Kansas constitution is regular and valid than
any constitution that has been adopted by
any new and partially settled State is as regu-
lar and valid any that has been adopted
has grown out of the refusal of tho abolition party
to recognise the regular territorial government in
the Territory and to vote in its elections. AS to the
manner and form of the adoption of the Lecompton
constitution there is but one question before Con-
gress, and that is whethor these factonists should
be allowed to come before it pleading their own
wrong in the premises, and craving permission to
take advantage of their wrong That is the
whole question, and that question has but side,
with determined to maintain the sanctity of law
and the authority of government
Thus does the question revert at last to the two
inquiries Is admission itself proper? Is the nstru-
ment under which it is proposed in itself unobjec-
tionablo? These two points are conceded There
fore the whole case is conceded for there is moth
ing in the objection to the form and manner.
