know not upon what authority, that the republicans
are recruiting for 'the best speakers" to be sent

We are not very clear that four years experience
has produced no effect whatever upon that people
but we are quite clear that if it has, the least,
by which they are made to understand that they
have been fingered like old piano-that thousands
of political idlers and vagabonds have been prac-

Bills COMPARED

ihA~AS'
silly charges scarcely ever deserve the oomp-
ment of serious notice; but there various and
sundry silly charges urged by the defeated coalition,
against the actwhch has just passed for the admis
sion of Kansas into the Union, which leveled at
the land ordinance which it submits popular vote
in Kansas we may wen expose the stupidity Of
these charges and the qualification which those who
urge them commit by simply comparing the land
clause mboded in this act, with that which was
incorporated in the Crttenden amendment and
received the sanction of the whole opposition vote
in the Senate, and with the clause which incor-
porated in the Montgomery substitute, for which
every opposition member in the House is recorded
as voting. @ iet't~Att ~ " ~
In order that there may be no possible mistake on
the subject, shall place all three Of these ordi
nances side by side in the column. The public
will see that the difference between tweedledum

which they themselves voted for and supported only
fortnight ago is precisely the that old pro
