Senator Douglas, in his reply to-

The following prophetic remarks in,

pie Of Kanzas:
81 regard the result of that Con-
vention as trick, a fraud upon the
rights of the people, and come with
Slavery or without Slavery. l am op-
posed to the whole of it. But we are
told we must force the Lecompton
Constitution down the throats Of the
people for the sake of peace, for the
sake Of localizing the quarrel. How
is that to be done? By passing act
Of Congress, forcing a Constitution.
ON the people of Kanzas against the
will ofthat people! what next? when
you find the stubborn, factious major.
ity resisting tho Government that yow
have imposed upon them, the Preiilent
will be called upen to use the army
and navy to put down inSurrection;
and inasmuch as the Lecompton fac
tion is only composed ofperhaps one
tenth or one-twentieth Of the whole
people, and there is not man ofthem
who dares stay there day without;
the United States army to protect him..
we should have special message from
the President, recommending an i'm
crease of the army, and the calling out
of volunteers to march to Kanzas to
put down the insurrection and main
tain the government which you force
on them at the point of the bayonet.
That is the mode in which YOU are
going to localize the KanzaS quarrel
by calling troops from Virginia and
Wisconsin, from Illinois and from
South Carolina, from Massachusetts,
and from Mississippi, and stationing
these volunteers around the city of
Lecompton to protect the Governor
whom you impose upon that people
against their will! Then / suppose,
there will be perfect peace and harmon
ny among them all. You will restore.
peace in that way, and localize the.
Kanzas difficulty! No, sir. The mo-
ment you impose Constitution on.
that people against theiT remOnstrance'
and protest, you have natiOnslizedI
this difficulty, and pledged yourselves
to maintain that government at the
point ofthe bayonet, and with all the.
power at your cOmmand--You have
legalized civil war;, instead of locali--

Justice Of Revolution by the People

after reciting the Presidents pledges
and the shameful manner in which
they have been broken, closes with
the following pointed and inspiring;
remarks.
1--WE turn to the people of Kan.
zas.--Thcy have been Shamefully de-
ceived and betrayed in regard to the,
privileges Of choosing their own Con-.
stitution and regulating their domes-
tic institutions. And they have sworn
to resist usurpatiOn to the bitter end
We applaud them for it, and say; God
speed them in the right Let them.

an and his troops, and return shot for
shot, as long as they have a gun and
man to fire il. When they have
all fallen in that righteous cause,
there will be million freemen to take
their places and carry On the war.
"Whatl" says the startled adherent
of the Administration, twill yeu re-
sist the law, and become fslon and
rebel against the Govcnment?'
Eyes, we reply, even SO, If Mr., Bu-
Ohauan wills it. Tyranny is tyran-
ny, whether perpetrated by George
the Third, or James Buchanan and
his myrmidons of Office holders, 1t
is as righteous to resist usurpation
now, as ever before ON this continent.
No matter from what source it comes,
il must and shall be resisted. There
is no dearer right than that Of self
government, and Mr., Buchanan fall
SIZES his own promises to the people
of Kanzas, and attempts by murder
GUS means to crush their right to self
government, ho is no better than any
common decciver and tyrant, and shall.
bo resisted, personally and officially.
till his insolencc is rebuked and his.
tyranny ovorthrown. And ifthe end.
is civil war and blood, 80 lot it be-,
The like has happened before. and no,
doubt will happen again, and ought
to happen, whenever lse-hearted
men gain power, and use that power,
to oppress and hsrAsu q free people,
and trample upon their dearest rights,

What viii it Amount tot


We publish on our first page a doc
ument from what were supposed, at
the time of its writing, to be the
State officers elect under the bastard,
We have no doubt, nor never have
had, chat these men are as honest and
sincere in their convictions and as
much devoted TO the cause Of Free
dom In Kankas, as any other living
men. We know that the gray head
cd veteran, whom the boilers hon
'ored by placing at their head---G.
w Smith, has devoted as much
,tme, expended as much money, la
bored with as much zeal, earnestneSs
rand assiduity, ahdprobably welded as
much influence for the good, as any
other member of the Free State party,
RoBERTs, SCHUYLER and GooDlN are
men who have always held high and
responsible positions in our party,
and Mr.. MEAD is now member Of
The Territorial Council, Ifthere were
any persons who questioned the integ-
ritv, and motives of these men prior
to the appearance of their memorial,
they will undoubtedly do SO no Ion
ger. They have placed themselves
on the record before tho country as
we'll as could be desired. ''.-
But will their memorial result in
any good? They tell Congress that
they were elected because the people
of Kanzas feared and believed that 1t
would act the tyrant and thrust the
bastard upon us against our will, and
therefore we placed ourselves in an
Indifferent and defiant attitude to
await their deliberations. They tell
Congress that they had a lille rather
itwould not admit the bastard, but
that if it wM do il, why then pitch

Under the circumstances, these
State officers have done as we'll as
could be expected. But oh would
it not have been more manly, more
dignigying, more laudablc, more con

held by our party, and moro worthy

An international bridge.

Some person has proposed the building Of
bridge between Buffalo and the Canada
shore. The length of the bridge would be
800 feet, which includes | 800 feet of
trellis work on the Canada shore and about
500 on the American shore, leaving only
l,6i0 feet as the length of the tube crossing
the river proper. The levels Of the bluffs,
on either shore, vary only few inches
Starting from the American shore, there is
viaduct, built on piers Of solid masonry
at short distances from each other extend.
ing distance of 500 feet On reaching the
bank Of the canal there is drawbridge
from it TO pier, situated on the outer line
OF the canal, distance of so feet Here
the tube proper commences. The height of
the railway track above the water is GO feet
preeluding the necessity of the use Of draw,
except for sail vessels. Over the railway
track is carriage way for vehicles and
foot passengers. The second pier Of the
bridge is built upon Black Rock pier. To
cross the river itself the tube is extended in
spans Of 212 feet each, resting on four piers
built on the bed Of the river
The construction Of the tube is simple
consisting of roofplat. and bed.plate OF
iron connected by diagonal braces and up
rights, forming open lattice work sides. The
tube Is continuous from shore to shore, rum
ming on rollers on the piers to allow for the
expansion and contraction from changes of
temperature, which will amount in all to eight
inches. The greatest depth of water in the
river is &c feet, the current running about
8 10 miles per hour On reaching the Can
ada shore, viaduct built on piers Of solid
masonry extends q distance of I,5Ol feet
across the low lands to the bluff. II is pro
posed to construct harbor connecting with
the proposed ship canal on the Canada side
that also having draw across tin
which vessels under stress of weather NAV
take shelter, if unable 10 make Black Rock
harbor The total cost of the bridge is es-
timated at s2,50o0Oo, and English CAPT
talists are prepared to go on and build it,
provided they can have guarantee of the
payment of six per cent annual interest on
the capital for period of fifteen years
To secure this, the earnings of the bridge
must be $4,000 per annum.
