Kansas In the House-Trouble Among the
Repubiicans-Peace or War.
The Crittenden bill, with the decisive rejec-
ton Of the Senate, is again before the House,
and, perhaps, to-day or tomorrow it will be
called up for the reconsideration of that body
The central junta of the Ohio republican party
at Columbus, it appears, had put in strong
protest against the swallowing Of the ''Lecomp-
ton abomination," even with Mr. Crittenden's
condition precedent but as the whole Ohio
abolition delegation, and the whole black re-
publican phalanx of the North, every man of
them, from grandfather Giddings down, have
gulped the prescription, niggers and all, we
suppose there is no help for them now They
go before their abolition constituents with the
record against them of having voted for regu-
lar slave State constitution for 'free Kansas"
and they must make the most of il that the ex-
IRENE hardship of the case will allow.
This half way surrender to the policy of the
administration neutralizes at all events all the
late ferocious denunciations by our black re-
ton constitution. In STOPPING to accept II
as the basis for the admission of Kansas, they
have not only stultifed themselves, but have
shown that they do not themselves believe one
half their horrible accusations levelled against
the Lecompton programme; or else, that superior
to all rights and all wrongs and all considera-
tions of consistency is the great object of widen
- rsoN - Ii
the Douglas renegades Of the North.
In this connection we perceive that Col For
ney, of the Philadelphia Press steps forward
from the lines Of the allies, with his flag of
truce, and modestly inquiries, ''Shall il be peace
or war;" 1.-THE Senate, upon 'the sober second
thought" shall conclude to accept the Crittenden
bill, there will be peace: but, continues the high
and mighty Forney, If this strife Is to he
maintained in favor OF the minority principle,
and the noble action Of the House In support of
the majority rule is TO be repudiated in favor
Of the minority principle, we are prepared for
the struggle. We should have preferred peace,
because that would have united the democracy
and would have closed the contest; but If = is
10 be war, we are ready for tina. too, and for
al the consequence
From this it would appear that already sort
Of English, French and Sandman alliance
against another Emperor Nicholas bad been
tacitly agreed upon between the black republi-
cans, the Douglas renegadee, and the little rump
ofthe Southern Know Nothing faction Very
we'll The administration cannot rccede The
bulk Of the party cannot, with any show of
'"a.on, be called upon to capitalate to the
'nr,c Douglas democrats Of the Senate and the
teeniy-three Douglas deser.ers Of the House
The bulk of the party will adhere, with the
Senate and the administration, to the Lecomp-
ton bill, without the condition precedent"
should the House rebels recede, there will be q
pacifcation and door opened for repentance
and absolution but IL they have resolved TO re-
