journal rejoic;ag oyer t4e.action ofeur
Legislature, wlica is THIS described in a
letter to the Press. s& -
Il '::Tae resolution Of Mr.. Miller instruct-
ing our Senators and requesting our Rep
Iresentatives to vote against the admission
of Kansas into the I Union, unless her Com
stitp1ion BE- iirst submitted to and ratified
b. her people, referred to a select COM
Hmittee Dy~ the unanimous vote OF the
House. After this resolution had thus
taken the usual parliamentary course, aud
received respectful reference, Mr.. VIII
liston offered another res9l qtion, instruct
ing our Senator's to vote &gainst the ad-
mission Of Kansas as a State under the
.:.ecompton Constitution. AS the whole
matter rad just bsen referred by tha
House to select committee, it would
have been grossly disrespectful to that
Committee t. have taken it out of their
hands bc!ore they could have an oppartu-
nifty OF reporting upon it, and the House
very properly voted the resolution'oi NJ.
Winston down by decided majo:ity-
The whole subject is thus lett ia the
hands of the Committee, who yuu may
rest assured will, at the proper tlme, re-
.,ort a resolution e.nbodying the senti-
ment o.. the great mass OF the people upon
the subject. Though the movements OF
to-day were regarded by many as ill-ad-
vised and ill-ti.ned, there is little or 40
diversity OF sentiment among the meni-
hers in regard to the question itself -
When the proper period arrives for the
people Of Pennsylvania to speak through
their representatives,, you will find an al
most unanimous voice raised against the
outrages which are attempted to be com-
mitted not only upon the people Of Kan
sas, but upon the sacred principle that
the will Of the majority shall govern, by
the LccoMpton swiudie. -.s
We are assured that sat the proper
tilc" resolutions will be reported. We
should like to know what good report
against Lecompton will do after the Pres
ident has completed his plans for push
ing that offspring Of Tyrany through Con
gress? The action OF the Legislature has
already been delayed too long.
Whatever the politicians may think of
Mr.. Wi!li<ton's effort to secure innciiate
action, the people of all parties will re-
joice at his timely Offer, and they will be
still more rejoiccd if he or some other
me nber will b.ing this subject before the
House ecsly day. until action is see urcd.
Delays are dinS2r6l;,
