Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1858-05-20

Unfair submission OF the lccOmpton Con-
stitution will not shield it; the people will
strike through the ordinance to bury the
lance of their just Indignation deep in the
heart Of the swindlc. and thus struck down.
it will be tranipled into the very earth;
whilst its memory, like the ghost of Ban
quo, will Torment the party which countc-
nanccd its crcatioc and cherished its tran
sent being.
This dodge has two features, bride and
a threat. The bribe, as above stated, is
nothing more than other new States have
received, and which, in justice will be Civ
en- to Kansas by some future Congress,
when the national Legislature shall have
been purgcd, as it most surely will be,
and that right early. The threat is that
Kansas must remain territory for an in-
definite period unless Lccompton is aeccp-
tel. But this is of piece with the bride.
Until the right of petition is revoked, the
people of Kansas will retain the perogativc
to send up an application for admission
into the Union a a State, and the day is
not far distant when q national Congress
will override the dictum of an imbccilc ex :
ccutivc. and invest free Kansas with all the
dignity and every immunity Of a sovereign
State.
From the Lcavcnworth City Ledger, May 9Th.
1t now remains for the people of this
Territory to decide whether they will ac-
cept the bride offered to them by Congress,
or reject it, and with it that budget of vii
lainics, the Lecompton Constitution. We
have too much confidence in the integrity
OF the people OF Kansas tn believe that they
will accept any such proposition. We be-
lievc that they would rather remain a
Territory eternally than to come into the
Union under such insulting and degrading
conditions. What! he bought up like a
flock of sheep? Sacrifice our principles,
for the triumph of which we have been so
earnestly contending, for fine slice of the
public lands? Away with such an idea
IL is libel alike on the good sense and
patriotism of our pcoplc-a miserable sub
tcrfuSe. ilimsy trick for sitting the pop
ular voice.
From the Lcsvenworth Times, Nay 6th.l
Our duty. as it appears to us, is plain
though it he painful. With that devotion
and maynanimity characteristic Of the Frcc
State party. we should drop all thought Of
existing state governments; go, like one
man, into tine election under the English
bill, vote the land bride with its Lecomp.
ton appemlage, into eternity, and then
urge forward emigration. SO that before
another year rolls around. we may count q
population guaranteeing our admission into
the confederation even under the highhan-
dcd terms of the English bill.
From the Leavcnworth Ledger, May 7th.l
Having found that threats alone ar,
insufficient 10 curb the people of Kansas
our enemies have joined a threat and bride
and hope by this means to succeed in thcii
nefarious purposes. We would inform
the administration and its miRions thai
the government does not own land enough
to buy up the people of Kansas. The
originators aud abcttors Of the move
wcnt are boasting that the inhabitants o.
this territory woui barter their hopes il
this life and the next for a grab at incl,
Sans d OMAN. What a pitiablc mistake
We would rather consign ourselves t.
eternal poverty. than be instruments of ou
own degradation. Who that mingle.
with the people, hears their opinions an,
observes the spirit in which they are ex
pressed, can doubt as to what will be the
result of that election? Our enemies ma,
consider us fools and knaves; but give u
a chance at the ballot box and we will re-
turn the compliment.
From the Lawrence Republican. May Gth.l
As we go to press. we learn that the lie
compton bill as reported by English from
, the committee of conference, has passe,
both branches of Congrcss--in the Hous'
by nine majority.
) Iecompton is therefore passed-provi
ded the people Of Kansas vote to accept
prolfered land grant; otherwise we remain
in a territorial condition until we have 93
, 600 inhabitants. Il
Oi course we will remain territory?
