The news from Kansas shows a
steady determination on the part Of the
people to reject the infamous and de-
grading proposition of Lecompton
Congress. Opposing parties and fac
tons have joined hands in opposition to
the degradation its acceptance would
impose, and the result Of the Lecomp-
ton effort will be to keep this fruitful
source of discord and sectional agita-
ton and jealousies, open for years.
Had the principles of the Democracy
been adhered to, the sectional brawls
which Kansas as territory will engen-
der, would have been heard no more
within the land-her "shrieks" would
have been silenced foreyer--as they
we're during the nine months that the
present administration was "ehciente'i
with Lecomptonism, and previous to
the birth of that Infamous and deformed
bastard and libel upon Democracy
But why talk when those in authority
permit themselves to be controlled by
the vagaries Of sectional fanatics and
fools, who sacrifice national interests
to create sectional brawls. Away with
such vermined traitors to principle as
the Lecomptonites have shown them
selves to be, and place in their stead
men whose patriotism is co.extcnsive
with the confines of the Republic, and
who possess sufficient reverence for the
founders of our government to permit
the people to establish their own do
nestle institutions.
The following extract from an article
in the Kansas Daily Ledger, will show
the spirit with which the people of that
territory regard the last phase Of the
Lecompton iniqulty:
"Having found that threats alone are In.
sufficient to curb the people of Kansas, our
enemies have joined n threat and bribc,
and hope by these means to succeed in heir
purposes. We would inform them that the
Government does not own land yh to
buy up the people Of Kansas. We would
rather confne ourselves to eternal poverty,
than be the instruments OF our own degre.
daton. Who that mingles with the people,
hears their opinions, aud observes the spirit
In which they arc expressed, can doubt as
to what will DO the result Of that election
Our enemies may consider us fools aud
knaves but give us u chance Mt the ballot
box and we will return the compliment"
