Kansas LecOmDtOu CONSTITUTION.


Where is it, and what's to be its fate!
are question often asked. The first in
terrogatory, we answer briefly by saying,
that the Constitution, in the Senate was
referred to the Committee on Territories.
In the House, the Presidents Message ac-
companying the Constitution was referred
to the following select committee, with
power to send for persons and papers, IN
order to give the whole matter a thorough
investigation.
"The Speaker announced the following
named gentlemen as a committee under
the resolution of Mr.. Harris, of Illinois,
to which is referred the Presidents mes
sage on the admission of Kansas under
the Lecompton Constitution, viz:
"Harris, of Illinois, Stephens of Ga,
Merrill of Virginia, Letcher of Virginia,
Wade of Ohio, Quitman of Mississippi,
Winston of N. c., Bennett of N. Y,
White or Pa, WaIbridge of Michigan,
Anderson of Mo, Stevensonof Kentucky,
Adrian Of N. Y, Buferton of Mass, and
Russell of N. Y"
AS to. the latter question-what is to
be the fate of the Constitution? we scarce
ly dare guess, after reading the leading
papers throughout the union, together
with the hundred and one speeches that
have been made on the question. 1t was
said, perhaps sacrilegiously, some years
ago, that "He who knows and governs all
things" no longer claimed Jurisdiction over
the verdict of a petit jury, Of late years
"The result of an election" was added
to the list; and now, we respectfully beg
to add "the fate of the Lecompton Con-
stitution."7
Seriously; it will, under the present
aspect of affairs, be some time before the
matter will finally be disposed of. There
is perhaps, however, a growing feeling
among all parties in favor of the Presi-
dents recommendation produced, we
think, principally, by a long continued ag-
itation of the "vexed subject" and a de-
sire to get rid of it on any terms. Some
thing like a sufferer agonizing from the eff
fects of wounds, or long continued attic.
ton, and who crys out, 'Shoot me-"
"Kin me !" Terminate my sufferings in
some way!"
The following paragraph from For
ney's "Press," expresses our sentiments
exactly;
"We are sometimes addressed by kind
friends, who entertain the most anxious
solicitude for our welfare--and who ad-
NIT that we never were so right, but are
not quite sure that we are as polite
as we ought to be-with the question,
"Where is all this difficulty about Kansas
TO end 2" Our answer is ready: "We
stand upon a great principle, we are sin
cere in our support of it; we are bound
to it by a thousand pledges, and if we do
not rally to it we should deserve the scorn
and contempt of all men. We do rally to
it leaving consequences to take care of
themselves. However it may end, those
only must suffer who admit we have JUS
tice on our side, and yet dare not 60 for
Justice. ,"

1t being a "season when funds are low
we were ~medidating a little dunning ar.
ticle, to be framed In the most polite.
earnest, and yet ~inofTensive form possible.
when we happened to think of the follow.
ing "PARoDY OF HoHENLINDEN," and
concluded to substitute it:
In seasons when funds are low,
Subscribers are provoking slow,
A few supplies keep up the flow
OF dimes departing rapidly.
But we shall see a sadder sight,
When duns pour in from morn to night,
Commanding every sixpence bright
To be fOrked over speedily.
Our bonds and due-bills are arrayed,
Each seal and signature displayed:
ThehoIders VOW they must be paid
With threats of Claw and Chancery."
Then to despair we're almost driven,
There's precious little use of livin',
When our last copper's rudely riven
From hands that held it lovingly.
But larger yet those dues shall grow,
When interests added on below,
Lenght'ning our chin a foot or so
When gazing on them hopelessly.
'Tis so, that scarce have we begun Is
To plead for time upon a dun,
Before there comes another one,
Demanding pay ferociously.
The prospect darkens-on ye brave
Who would our very bacon save,
Waive, patrons, all your pretexts waive,
A0d pay the printer cheerfully.
All! it would yield Us pleasure sweet,
A few delinquentsn now to meet,
Asking Of US a clear receipt
For papers taken ~reg'lsrly.

We learn that our neighbor Nebraska
Civ has been selected as the shipping
point for the supplies of the Utah army ;
and also that it has been made a Military
Depot. This viii add greatly to her inn
~portance, and be worth more to her really
than the Capitol of the Territory. N
The selections were made, says the
NsUs, On the following conditions, viz:
eThat the Ievee be compIetea by the opening Of naviga-
ton; and that the liquor ships, which interfere WIN
the moral programme adopted, be suppressed"
AT a public meetingo of the citizens, the
following Resolutions were unanimously
adopted
ResOlvef, That the dtizensof this city and county sc-

ResOlUed, That the Mayors Of the threocities tender
TO Lieut.. Da Barry their written obl5gationi binding their
respective corporations in tho sum Of 100000 to have
the Leyee finished BY the opening OF navigation, and we
pledge ourselves, individually and eollectiYeiy 70 make
good that OBLIGATION, without regard to COST
Resolved. That the business Of the dram selling Is
demoraiizlng, Illegal, and q public nuisance, ana we
heartily approve Of the condition of their SUPPRESSION
and we pledge ourselves thai they shall te snppIesseo,
ResolUed That in order to carry out this determination
a committed Of IS be appointed to take immediate and ef-
hcient measures to abate the nuisance whenever and
wherever they arise in this locality, and to maintain the

that failing, BY every other lawful and honorable means;
and we further pledge ourselves to sustain the action OF
our committee in any means for that purpose which they
may see PROPER 10 adopt.
ReS0lUed, That the members OF the bar are requested
to refuse in future to defend any person guilty OF estaD-
Iishing or keeping open dram shops in our community,

Knock Down Araumenr-.

Occasionally hard words between candidates
for Office are dropped for hard kuOcks. Messrs.
Grimshaw and Morris, opposing candidates fol
Congress in the Fifth District of Illinois, met
in Joint debate at Nauvoo on the 18th ult-
While Grimshaw was speaking Morris called
him liar, whereupOn Grimshaw struck Morris
and knocked him headlong of the stand. Here
the fight ended and the debate went on.
Few candidates swing more brawny arm
than Gen. Ashley, the Republican candidate
for Congress in the Toledo district. A few days
ago it became necessary for him TO beat deceney
into the head of political oppoaent, and he
did it right efficiently. According 10 the Per-
ysburg Journal, Gen. Ashley Was holding a
political meeting in Leipsie, where Republicans
do not much abound. a Locofoco gang of
rowdies ruled matters politically, and were in
the habit of disturbing and breaking up Repub-
lican meetings. They tried It on with Ashley,
bat to their discontinue. Soon after he com
menced his speech, the leader, by the name Of
Armstrong, cried out, That's d-dH lie" Gen.
A. spoke on, but was soon interrupted with an
other still more insulting shout from the same
quarter lAshley asked the person to come for
ward, and after he was through speaking if the
man wished he could occupy tie stand The
rOWdy shouted, an be d-di do" well"
replied Ashley, then you had better keep
quiet, or leave the house" No" said the
rOwdy, "I'll be id if l keep still, and there
ain't meat enough on your bones TO put me
out" The Journal says
Ashley plainly saw that the meeting must be
81 snced. Therefore, he walked back and took
the intruder by the collar to lead him out Of the
house. The rOwdy struck and struggled to hit
Ashley, but a few taps over his pate with Z
cane brought him to easy terms and he was put
out. The meeting passed vote of thanks to
Mr.. Ashley for thegOOd job he had so well done,
and he not was again interrupted.

sinrulnr Preserliment and Result

The Cincinnati Gazette relates the singular
freak of lady just returned to that city from a
visit to Europe, by which she lost her money
and jewelry but saved her life. Before the sail.
ing of the ill-fated Austria the lady sent the
money to the agent at Hamburg to secure a
passage and good state room. On her arr
val, she found the vessel SO crowded and her
room so distasteful, that she concluded to take
another steamer to New York The agent
would not refund her passage money, but still
she took passage in another vessel. So i'm
pressed was she after she had done so, that
some terrible calamity would befal the steamer
she had chosen, that she sent her watch, jewel
~, &c, in casket by the Captain of the Aus
triA to her friends in this country. The result
was that she lost her passage money and jew
elry, but saved her life.
