tN-TLe Lecomp tonites ut Washington are
confident of carrying the Lecompton Csnsti
tuition through Congress within thirty days.
The President announces that Kansas will be
admitted as State before the first Of April
The Washington correspondents Of Southern
papers speak of it as q certain event. We
presume there is no longer any doubt that
the power Of the Executive is more than sut-
fcient to carry the measure, il nine-tenths
of the people of the country, were opposed to
1t. II will prove triumph to the Demo-
cratic party and to the South, more disastrous
than hundred defeats in the defence Of right.
1t will be an occasion Of exultation to the
enemies Of both. The safety and strength OF
the South was in the moral and constitutional
principles upcn which she rested her rights.
Having violated and broken down these by
her own suicidal acts. she IL left weak and
defenceless at the mercy of her opponents,
who have the numerical strength. and by oil
the laws of nature and the tendencies of the
age, must continue TO outstrip her in political
and material power. The South. in violating
the fundamental principleso of political rights
of a new State has abandoned the only fort
rcss for her own protection. Whom the
Gods wish to destroy" &C., &c.

and strength to the opposition to the iniqui-
tous course of the Lecomptonites. The at

denouncirg them as rcnegades, has raised

the following in an extract.

On this letter. the able Democratic Press,
edited by Col. Forney, remarks:

The Philadelphia Press publishes long
letter from Gov. Wise, OF Va, on the Lee
compton policy of the Administration. lie
says that careful review OF the Presidents
Message constrains him to differ with the
President OF his choice. lie protests against
the mode in which the Lecompton Constitu-
ton was pretended To be submitted, as anti
republican and oppressive, and as offensive
to the seli-respect and moral sense of "a free
people. He admits that the conduct of the
Topekaites was violent aud unlawful, and
that their opponents acted under lawful au-
thority mp 10 the submission of the Cunstilu
ton to the people. But that has nothing to
do with the Issue: Is the Constitution The
act and deed OF the people, and - the schcd-
ule republican, The wrong of the Topeka
ties will not justly the wrong Of the Lec"mp-
ton Convention, nor cure the defects of the
Lccompton schedule, which though provid-
ing Tor its ratification or rejection, was sub

C vote upon its rejection. lie contends that
there was obviously asinister and anti-re-
publican purpose in thus giving an Unfair

no election rs TO the whole. lie denies the
assertion OF the President that no people
could have proceeded with more regularity
in the formation of a Constitution than the
people OF Kansas have done The people
were not allowed lair election Mt all. A
fair election could not be held under the
schedule. AZ appears from its face. lie COM
bats the Presidents idea that the admission

declares that it never can be local. Again. IL
is all essential that the settlement shall be
just, right and equal and ii not so, it is sure
to be mischievvps to that party snatching
power without right, and doing wrong that

than re erring back the question for terrific
rial decision. 1t will arraign the Democra-
cy and the South for demanding more than
