The Kanzas news., 1858-01-16

The Lecompton Constitution in Wash
ington---Dodge of the Administration.
By telegraph from Washington. under
date of January 4th, We have news of new
dodge which the Administration has con-
coeted to secure the admission of Kanzas
under the Lecompton Constitution. The
dispatch is as follows:
"Mr. Pugh asked and obtained leave to
introduce bill to provide for the admission
of Kanzas into the Union. The bill was
referred to the Committee on Territories.
Mr.. Pugh stated that he offered the bill as
a compromise, and explained its provisions
as follows:
It provides for the admission of Kanzas
into the Union under the Lecompton Con-
stitution, with the same boundaries as were
defined by the bill of the last Congress. 1t
also requires that the seventh article of that
Constitution, relative to slavery, shall be
submitted to the direct vote of the qualified
electors on the 7th of April next, and that
the returns of this election shall be made to
the Governor of the Territory instead of to
the President of the Convention. 1t states
that the election shall be conducted in obe-
dience to the laws in force on the 18th of
November last. It also provides that the
Constitution shall not be so constructed as
to limit or impair the right of the people to
at any time call convention for the purpose
of altering, amending or abolishing .heir
form of government, subject to the Consti-
tuition of the United States.
Mr.. Pugh stated that he would avail him
self of an early opportunity to explain the
provisions OF the bill more in detail.''
The dispatch further states that every
Democratic Senator will vote for Mr.. Pugh's s
bill, which, of course, renders its passage
certain. No difficulty is apprehended in the
House, and the probability now is that in a
few weeks Kanzas will be admitted into the
Union as slave State.
The ''dodge" contemplated in Mr.. Pugh's
bill is an infamous one, and is doubtless the
work of Buchanan TO save his bacon with
the North. hoping to blind their eyes by this
miserable subterfuge. In this he will find
himself mistaken. The people of Kanzas.
too, viii appreciate it. They ask of the
President simply justice, and with nothing
less will they be content. They will not
submit to this joke. This measure brings
no ''healing on its wings it will not eff
feet spacifcation.' 1t is dodge worthy
of the Felon Convention itself, and probably
copied from it. The Administration would
do well to heed the warning in time, and not
exasperate the people of Kanzas longer
There is point beyond which ..forbearance
ceases to be virtue" even with the people
Of Kanzas.
The Kanzas news., 1858-01-16
The Bogus Baby.

Mrs. Cunningham's Constitution does
not seem to be we'll received even amongst
its own friends. A dispatch from Wash
ington City dated Jan. Sd, says that the
notorious J. II. Striugfellow, whose name
is so intimately connected with the early
Border Rufian forays in Kanzas, has ar
rived in Washington and denounces the
Lecompton Constitution as swindle, and
an imposition. 1t must be infamous, in
indeed, if the stomach of such a villain as
Stringfellow is nauseated by it.

The Territorial Legislature.


This body has been in session at Lawrence
about week, and is pushing forward busi-
ness rapidly. Upwards of forty bills of
different kinds have been introduced in the
House, among the most important of which
are the following:
By Mr.. Jamison-An act to provide for
the publication of the laws passed by the
General Assembly.
By Mr.. McClure-An act in relation to
District Attorneys.
By Mr.. Bassett-A bill to repeal the Bo-
gus Statutes.
By Mr. Moore-An act for the prevention
and punishment of election frauds.
By Mr.. Hanna-An act to abolish and
prohibit slavery in the Territory of Kanzas.
By Mr.. Danford-An act to provide for
the investigation of election frauds.
By Mr.. Speer-An act to provide for ta-
king the census in certain districts.
An act to provide for the election of del
egates to Convention to frame a State Con-
stitution.
By Mr.. Lockhart-An act securing liens
to mechanics and others.
By Mr.. Mitchell-An act to incorporate
townships and provide for the election OF
officers, and define their duties.
Acts of Incorporation for numberless
towns in the Territory have also been intro
sduced, together with other acts of minor
importance.
In THE CoUNcIL.-The petition of two
hundred and fifty citizens of Lawrence,
praying that the Legislature would ratify
and confirm the present charter of the town
of Lawrence, was referred to the Committee
on Judiciary.
By Mr.. Brigham act for the investiga-
ton of election frauds.
By Mr. Root-An act to define the seve.
raj Judicial districts of the Territory of
Kanzas.
Concurrent resolutions to enact an entire
code of laws have passed both bodies. AS
there are only thirty days of the session re-
maing, it will take hard work to complete a
code of laws this session.
