Nebraska advertiser., 1858-05-20

While it has been contended by the
friends of the Lecompton Constitution
that it should not be further submitted to
the people, the English Bill is only a dodge
by submitting the land grant to a popular
vote; bat at the same time declaring that
the vote upon the ordinance shall decide
the question of admission, and so to be,
practically, a vote upon the constitution.
If the ordinance is accepted, so is the
constitution and if rejected, SO is the
constitution. In fact, therefore, we con-
tend that the constitution is really submit
ted toa popular vote. All the Lecompton
advocates have gained is the verbal pre-
tense that the constitution is not submit
ted. 1t is perhaps fortunate they are so
easily satisfied.
All the opponents of the Lecompton
Constitution demanded was that this
instrument should not be forced upon the
people, but submitted to their vote, and in
spite Of the fimsy evasion this point is
certainly gained.
Objections are made to the bill because
of new conditions imposed upon the ad-
mission of new States in regard to their
population at the time of their admission.
There is most assuredly injustice in ad-
hitting into the Union a Territory with
less population than many counties in the
States thus giving it two Senators, and
equal power in this respect with the old
est and most populous State in the Union!
While we contend for the correctness
Of this principle in itself, we regret to
see in the English Bill so unjust a discre-
mination as to what kind of constitution
should be submitted to the rule.
