The Lecomptonites arc in great in alarm

been slow to open their eyes hitherto :, !.
were they that power and patronage are inT-
chile. They will modify their tactics h. 4
surred. The first step, doubtless viii b. H.
ated through General CALHOUN. who in -,
of some new revelation, will discover tb,, 4
Free-State Legislature of Kansas reall, y.
elected on the 4th of June last, and viii /,
certificates accordingly. This "gulgem /
catch whales" however, will avail notb,
1t will furnish excuse for the treachery d !:
more professed Anti-Lecompton men NJ
would have found some other preteyt
that were wanting. No true man will suv
the Lecompton swindle any the more read
because the Legislature elected under it bg,
Free-State majority. Power cannot car. /.
radical defect in the instrument itself Or nE
it an expression of the popular will. On j
other hand, any such action by CALHOUN v
lose the measure more or less Southern rrs
beyond all question. No matter-MnI

WASHINGTON Sunday, March
The Administration men are working i.
perateiy TO control the stampede in the Hrs
against Lecompton. There are some five o.
ions OF dollars worth of contracts in conn.
ton with the Utah campaign, which are bs,.
used as levers, as far as possible, to affect vaa
How and where, will be clearly apparent via
the vote comes to be taken. Ofthe Arm7a
tracss already made, rumor names one for d
teen hundred horses, at hundred and fh7
nlEe dollars head transportation Of fon 4
twenty-five dollars a barrel, corn at ten i
twelve dollars a bGskel, live beef at faba.s
prices, &c.
II this is believed to be useless. The hr
OF making it successful rest on Northern All
Lecompton Democrats eAieay in PennsyIrlr]
and Indiana.
ALL is excitement relative to the action i
thc 5erate tomorrow, when according i
agreement, the vote on Lecompton isexpc'a
to be taken. 1t is rumored tonight thatt
Iecomptonltes themselves are frightened abf
the Senate, and may effect further cOHtE
ance of the debate until they car have tinsF
canvass closely.
The Union to day publishes C3LRorys d
clal declaration of she election in Kansas q
ing the Legislature to the Free-State men-
lhls greatly exasperates the chivalry, 81
there Is soure fear that the effect may Be
create Southern stampede against Leco5,
ton, and the two Republican Senators its 81
cess will be sure to make. Ny own impHt|
sion is that the bill will pass the SENATE
aOont tive majority-RElD and DAVIS h2
absent, i'll. One vote may be changed, njs
ing the majority to three.
STUART and BAYARD, it is understood v
speak tomorrow, DOUGLAS will follow, il
health is no worse than to-day. He was .
sent from the Senate, and no party to u
agreement to take the vote on Monda! Y
II an attempt be made to crowd him ont
limited, be will insist upon the right 70 4
heard at length before the vote.
When the bill goes to the House, 90
not be surprised if its opponents move ihefs
vious question at once, as the present CO.
makes its defeat certain. Considerable de'.
has been designed, but CaLnoUx's last nov
so thoroughly indicates the opposition Of Y
south Americans that they will be hke!
