Ihe ItHtcS Is not famous Tor Its attach
men to liberty anywhere It's devotion
to John Bullism cannot be que stoned
and in yindication of that idea, it is ready
to massacre Scpoys and poison Chinese
with opium. These are claims Of high
regard among Englishmen, as an cxamp-
lar Of British patriotism; but never before
has the London Times been appealed to
as authority by Republicans. Upon tic
whole. says the Times, we had better
take Lecompton. In its view, that is
about as good mode of making a State of
the American Union as any other. And
all democracy rcjoices. The plantation
men Of the South shout the praises of the
Times, and the "mud-sills" and white
slaves of the North" cry Amen, rejoicing
exceedingly OF all the anomalies of our
politics, there is nothing 50 wonderful as
the abjcct scryility Of the mud-sills" to
those negro proprietors, who despise them
and wipe their feet on them. 1t is not too
much to say that Hammond and Kcitt
who lose no opportunity Of maligning the
mud-sills, and persistently deny them any
right whatever to interfere in government
are especial favorites with the Irish and
German laboring voters at the north It
is certainly the fact that the ultimate ex-
ercisc of power the votes of laborcrs GOV
crn the north; yet for the most part they
sustain their enemies Of the South, tyrants
by nature, who equally, by acts and
words, treat them as mud-sills and white
slaves The London Times takes UP tho
quarrel Of these men, and true to its ma
turc as to theirs, declares in substance
that the people ought to DC ignored or re.
cognized only as mud-sillS and slaves,
whether white or black This has been
done in Kansas, and the Times consist
emily urges Lecomption as just and right.
But really this British alliance has be-
fore stood the Democracy in good stead
1t passed the tariff Of 1916, by Which one
thousand millions of dollars worth of Brit
ish goods have in eleven years been forced
on the American market, and Sl00, ,000,-
600 Of American capital invested in man
utactureS has been destroyed 1t is now
in proof that the gold placed here in
Washington by subscribers TO the Times
palms of the Democracy and confirmed
their power. Hurrah for the Times, hur-
rah for its popular sovereignty!
l need say nothing of Congressional
proceedings during the last two days
Little progress has been made in any
thing. The two sides are preparing them
selves for a struggle of endurance on and
after Monday next. About twenty-five
Senators are prepared with speeches, of
which only five or six can be delivered
before chat day on which Green has an
nounced that debate is to cease. 1t is
said that Pugh, Biglcr and the whole
mass Of Democrats have consented to sup
press their orations for the present, SO
anxious are they to pass un-opposcd thro'
the throcs of parturition. But the after
birth will be terrific The ground swell
after the storm will be more tempestuous
than the storm itself All these speeches
will come out after the passage of the bill
like the out-bursts Of all the winds from
the cave Of Old Eolus.
In the meantime the Republicans and
Douglas do not intend to hurry themselves
nor be hurried. Ten or a dozen of them
design speaking. Mr. Chandler will Get
the floor tomorrow. Judge Wade, Judge
Trumbull, Mr.. Douglas, Mr. Neale, Mr.
Harlan, and several other leading and able
Senators have speeches prepared, and in
tend to be heard in daylight. 1t will be
impracticablc to get the question on the
passage Of the bill except by the aid Of the
previous question and that cannot pro
badly be enforced.
Stephen 5 motion to get his brazen rep
affirming the legality of the Lecomptor
Constitution before the House, was dcaC
failure. Our little objection was enough
The dried up impcrsonativc of cffrontery
from Georgia, thercupon threatened tha
he would print the immortal document
This fearful menace alarmed the House s.
much as to be greeted with a broad grin
from the opposition. The fact was, Steph
ems had already given his report to tn
reporters, and they had treated it lik
other stump speeches paid for by tn
, House, having notcedits points. They ar
about the same as are usually made upo
the defence of highwayman, forgers, an,
perJurcrs VINO JUSTIFY, that Is, ADMIT IN
fact and defend the crime. The report is
good thing in its way, and may be calle
the felOns manual"
, Without some gross collusion bctwce
t the Speaker and the Lccompton manager
for the violation of the rules of the Hous,
the thing cannot well be reached befor
the middle of May. The Special Commi
tee is the last to be called in regular ord,
and certainly will not be reached these tv
e months. The Senate bill, when passed, VI

c Meantime, however, Calhoun, Marshi
