Sneaker Crr's Coup d'Etat..

i'j@o, has refused to allow the majority on
the passage Of Mr.. HarEjs's resolution, to
have 4 majority in the select committee
to investigate the Kansas election bust
ness aud the Leeompton Constitution
Eight LccOmpton men to seven anti-Le-
p compton men have been named by him,
with the evident design of frustrating the
will of the majority in the House. 1t
will be observed, too, that he has put sew
cral of tie most violent irc-cating South
cTners upon the Committee, such as Ste
phcns, Qitman and Lctcher, willie he
has avoided, as much as possible, the
leading men in opposition. The evident
purpose is to stio investigation and have
4 hasty report submitted BY the majority,
under which Kansas, with Slavery, may
be forced into the Union.
