people will strike through. the ordinance to

From tho Lawrence Republican May
As we go to press. we learn that the La-
compton bill, as reported by English from
the committee of conference, has passed
both branches of Congress--in the House
by nine majority.
Lecompton is therefore, passed--pro7ided
the people of Kansas vote to accept prof.
fered land grant, otherwise we remain in
territorial condition uutil we have SO 900
inhabitants.
VI COURSE we will remain territory!
From the Leavenworth Times May St
Our duty as it appears to US, in plain
though it be painful. With that devotion
and magUanimity, characteristic of the Free
State party, we should drop all thought of
existing State Governments; go, hke one
man, into che election under the English
bill. vote the land bribe, with its Lecomp-
ton appendage, into eternity, and then urge
fofwaFs eEafgratioRs SO that before anoti1er
year rolls around5 we may count popula-
ton guaranteeing our admission into the
confederation even under the high handed
terms of the English bill.
From the Leavenworth City Ledger May Z.
1t now remains for the people Of this Ter
ritory to decide whether they will accept the
bribe offered them by Congress, or reject is
and with it that budget of yillaiuies, the Ls-
coEpton Constisution. We have too much
confidence in the integrity of Kansas Co be-
lieve that they will accept any such PROPOSE
ton. We believe they would rather rensais
a Territory eternally, than to come into the
Union Under such insulting nAa degrading
conditions. What! be brought up like
flock Of sheep7 Sacrifice our principles, for
the triumph of which we have been so ear
1estly coatending, for slice Of the public
lands! Away with such en- idea. It is
libel alike on the good sense and patriotism
of eSr people, miserable subterfnge,
flimsey trick for sitting the popular voice.
Mr.. English and the other professed sHti-Le-
compton Democrats who faRcrTed this SUBJ
stitute have indeed won for themselves q
great name. But what a name! fit only to
rank with the Judases and ArnoIds. to be GOV.
cred with imperishable infamy. We are
assured, nay. we are confident, that the peo-
pie will administer such FebuIse to MIR. Bu-
ehanan and his SATELLITES 30 will make them
tEemble in their shoes. ~ ta
From the Leavenworth Ledger, May, IL
Having found that tlsre@tR alona are insuf-
fcient TO curb the people of Kansas, our enea
mics have joined q threat and bribe, and
hope by this means to succeed in their me-
farious purposes. We would inform the ad-
nfnistration aud its minions that the govern
Raetst does not own land enougif to- buy up the
people of kahtsas. The originatots and ubet-
tors of the movement are boasting that the
iubabituHts of this Territory would barert
their hopes in this life and next for grab at
Uncle Sans domain. What Pitable mis-
take! we would rather consign ourselves
to eternal poverty than TO be the instrument
of Our own degradation. Who that mingles
With the people, hears their oPiutons and OBJ
serves the spirit in which they are expressed
can doubt as to what will be the result of
that election! Our enemies may consider
US fools md kneves; but give us chance at
the ballot bog and we willretwn the compli-
ment.
