Of Senator Stewards assertion of his be.
lief, that the States of this Union will
eventually become all free States or all
slave States. 1t is true, that Mr.. Seward
went on to express his confident belief,
that they would all become free States,
but these honest editors forget to mention
that fact. What is there alarming or
wrong in the Senator's prediction Ask
honest northern Democrats, whether they
expect slavery always to exist in this
country, and nine out of ten will say they
do not. They believe that slavery is to
Yass away, and that this is to become, in
truth as in name, land of freedom and
ylual rights. There may be exceptions,
bat tnat is the belief and hope Of the
great body Of the northern people without

The Illinois SenatOrship.

The question is still discussed in some Of
the Illinois papers, whether Mr.. Douglas
will be elected to the Senate. The Louis.
vile Journal says it is claimed that the
very few, less We believe than half dozen,
Buchanan Democrats, who have been elec-
ted to the Legislature, hold the balance Of
power, and it is alleged by some, that, in
obedience to the behests of their master at
Washington, they will 60 for staving of
the election of the United States Senator
until after the election Of another Legis-
lature in Illinois. We have very little
doubt they will keep themselves uncom-
mitted for the present, and for some time
to come--that they will in fact hold out
for the best reward they can get. They
will eventually conclude to go either for or
against Douglas reelection, accordingly
as they can get better terms from Douglas
or Buchanan. We hear whispers from
high financial quarters that poor Douglas
fiscal cable is about all payed out-that in
fact he had to get it spliced in New York
during the late Illinois canvass. However
the President hasn't much tho advantage
of him in that matter, for his is all paid out
too."-Bradtord Reporter.

Mr. Reeds heifer was neither stolen or

Fortunately he had not been sentenced; SO

the indictment was quashed and the man

The Kanzas news., 1858-05-15
ssThe Magnificent Dowry."

The English Dodge offers to the people of
Kanzas something more than three millions
of acres of land if they viii accept of the
Lecompton Constitution. Is this indeed a
bonus or not? A portion of this land is
comprised OF two sections in each Town
ship for school purposes. By referring to
the Organic Act it viii be found that Con-
gress has already set apart said sections for
said purposes-that they already belong to
the people of Kanzas. The Second, Third,
Fourth and Fifth propositions offer no more
to KanEas than other new States have re
ceived. and which she ought to have with
out any bargain and sale.
This Dodge has two features, a Bribe
and Threat The Bribe, as above stated,
Is nothing more than other new States have
received. and which in justice will be Civ
en- to Kanzas by some future Congress when
the National Legislature shall have been
purged, as 1t most surely will be, and that
right early. The Threat is that Kanzas
must remain Territory for an indefinite
period unless Lecompton is accepted. But
this is of piece with the Bribe. Until the
Right of Petition is revoked the people Of
Kanzas win retain the prerogative to send up
sn application for admission into the Union
as State, and the day is not far distant
when q national Congress viii override the
dictum of an imbecile Executive and invest
Free Kahzas with all the dignity and every
immunity of 3 sovereign SGate.-Qxiadaro

The country IN the vicinity of Fort Scott
has been in q state of fernneat for some
months past, owing 70 the efforts of pro-
slavery men residing there and in Missouri,
to drive out the Free State settlers. The
Free State men however have become tired
of this state of things and have finally
