ny. Nothing can make the Inconsistency
and trcachcry of Bill English more mani
fest than collation. of the preamble to the
compromise bill, prepared for him by Bright,
and the leading sentence from his own
speech made on the floor Of the House, in
March. The preamble of the swindle be-
gins with this falsehood;
"WHEREAs, The people of Kansas did, by
a convention OF delegates, assembled at Lee
compton on the 9TH day of November, 1857,
form for themselves a Constitution and State
Government, which Constitution is Repub-
lican," &c.
In his speech in March he uttered the
truth in the following sentence, which de-
clares that the people had not, of themselves,
| formed a constitution:
/. "Whcn admission is asked into the
Union, Congress should enquire whether
the Constitution presented is the act of the
people of such Territory. If it is not the act
of her people, and does not embody their
will, it is not Republican; for Republican
governments, as we arc told in the Declara-
ton of independence, must derive their
just powers from the consent of the gov
erned.
"Sir, THE GREAT FACT THAT sTAREs THE
COUNTRY IN THE FACE, AND WHICH NO FAIR
MAN CAN DENY, Is THAT THE LEcoNPToS
| CONSTITUTION DOES NOT ENBoDY THE WILL OF
THE PEOPLE OF KANSAS. Sir, this
is fact known of all men,"
On the 9th of March he proves that the
Lecompton Constitution is not the act, and
does not embody the will of the people of
Kansas, and is not therefore, Republican |;
and on the 3Oth day OF April in a solemn
preamble to a law, he declares the people of
Kansas did form for themselves this same
Constitution, and that it is Republican. On
one occasion he declares Inc will not vote for
the Constitution without it is submitted
and has the full and free sanction of the
people of Kansas, and on the next occasion
he votes for bill that withholdS the Con-
stitution from a vote on its merits by the
people, but insults them with brides and
threats to submit to the odious Constitution
by proposing for their adoption land Or
dinance. Does the privilege granted as an
act of special grace to vote on an act OF
Congress, secure, as a precedent, the in
alienablc and constitutional right of n people
to adopt or reject Constitution framed 10y
their servants? l. not the whole doctrine
Of popular sovereignty abandoned in this
base subterfuge of a compromise? Does the
concession of a taror to vote upon special
act, by the sovereign, conccde the great fun.
damental right of the people to frame their
own Constitutions? To withhold the Con.
stitution, and offer substitute which en-.
braces no enduring principle, is PRACTICAL,
> to deny the right and the principle contend
ed for; instead of affording precedent in
support of the rights of the people, til.
subterfuge will stand upon the statute bool
forever as an authority against the right
as an actual concession by the people of TN,
. entire principal of popular sovereignty.

BtaS" The Convention at Grccnsburg, en-
dorScd the course of Gen ]. i. Foley as n
representative from that district. AS he
voted for and against the Leeompton swim
die, his constituents are left i'm doubt wheth-
er it was the Lccompton vote, or the anti
Lecompton vote that met the appreciation
of the convention; or whether it split him,
and the Lecomptonites swallowed one side,
and the antics the other.

Bay" The Presidents party is loud in its
condemnation of the Hon J. G.. Davis, for
seeking reelection in the 9TH district, af-
ter his repeated pledges in the canvass Of
1856, that he would not again be n candi-
date. But the same papers are supporting
the aspirations of Bill English, who, in both
the two last canvasses promised, if re-elect-
cd, he would, at the expiration of his term,
give way TO some worthy man; he is now
for the third time violating these pledges
and is encouraged in his acts of bad faith,
by those who abuse Davis for a single act
of the kind.

the slightest suspicion. We have confidence
in the integrity of the Board Of Trustees,
and the people Of the State rely upon them
for righteous action. Let them recall the
palmy days of the past history Of the insti-
tuition, when no scctarian or political infiu-
euce was allowed to enterits councils; when
the venerable and beloved DR.. Wylie was at
its head, and when such men as Judges
Blackford and Law, Robert Dale Owen, X.
W. Thompson, Thomas Blake, Maxwell,
Jenkes, Scott, Howard, and Hendricks were
its guardians. No other motive but the
best interests of the University and the adj
vancement of education should influence any
of us on this question. This is our object
to-day.

We regret that you have fallen into some
errors in your article, yesterday, in reference
to the late commencement at the State Uni
versity, owing to the inadequate information
given by your correspondent. The COM
mencemert exercises were no doubt quite
interesting, and Dr.. Parvin's address before
the Alumni was especially worthy of more
than passing notice for its scholarly abil-
ity and its truthful character Of DR.. Wylie.
But your statements in reference to DR..
Daily need some qualification. His Bacca-
laurate sermon to the graduating class has
been published, and the public viii be able
to Judge of its merits. But you were mis-
led in your statement that the charges
against the character and qualifications of
the Dr., which have gained such notoriety,
were withdrawn from the investigation of
the Board of Trustees, because there was no
friends of the University, both his advocates
and opponents, say they are anxious for an
investigation, and we hope they all ar esin-
eere, as we certainly think the educational
interests of the whole State urgently de-
mand that the truth should be known. We
trust that there is no disposition on the part
of any TO evade an investigation; if DR..
Daily relies on the business of his cause and
his conscious innocence, he most assuredly
will be the last to avoid it.
We are informed that the Board of Trus-
tees have postponed the investigation, and
have appointed a committee to receive and
hear evidence, and report to them at flu
ture meeting.
The Board should be the best judges of the
course to pursue, and perhaps this is the
best mode, but we think the facts require
immediate action, and that delay is injurious
to the University. We understand that res
olution was introduced at the meeting Of
the Alumni, stating that justice to DR.
Daily and the interests Of the University
imperatively demanded an immediate inves-
tigation. The object of the resolution wa:
simply an expression of the opinion of the
most interested friends of the institution
but through the open, personal efforts of tn,
Doctor, and the loud circumstances of hi:
friends, the resolution was defeated by ont
vote. Your correspondent states that the
charges against the Doctor find no credenct
among the students and the people o
Bloomington, who have the most intimat,
intercourse with him and know him best
But we are informed that the cane presented
to the Doctor as coming from the students, a
token of regard and affection, was thu
work Of but forty or fifty of them, and tina
a large number knew nothing of the test
monial until it was made public. And it i
stated to US, on reliable authority, that Their
is alarge portion of the citizens of Bloom
ington, who believe the Doctor unworthy o
his position; and as convincing proof o
this, short time since, when town meet
ing was called TO assist in sustaining him il
his place, his friends were unable to pas
resolutions in his favor.

that the taxable property Of Minnesota
