the motion to insist (Which will doubtless
also be Raade) has preference by Parlia-

brethren on the anti-Lecompton side, they
will doubtless betray the inirmity by vot-

this motion prevail, VIC shall have serious

reign of Border Rutfianism in Kansas is

tional government, having bearing upon
the welfare of the commonwealth or con.
federacy. 1t is certainly very impohtic
to allow personal friendships to stand he
tween the voice of large majority Of the
peoplessof this State and the recording Of
that voice against the perpetration of a
great wrong; and that, too. when tba.
minority voice of the State was doublv
represented.
We are opposed to, the whole, system
of "pairing off," for. the reason that
whether it be exerted in either House, of
Congress, it depriTas constituency of an,
inherent right-thG right of a voice ON,
questions Immediately affecting them.-,
No man has right to ask so great cour-,
teSy as the suppression of the voice of
"a constltuency--much less has a rep
resentatlve the right to grant it. On
the whole, we are Inclined to believe that
however sick Senator Davis may have
been, the real object of procuring the
courtesy from Gen. Cameron was to neu-
trllize the Senatorial voice of Pcnnsyl--
wanna against the iniquity which its first
representative in the Presidential Chair,
of the nation was endeavoring to enci,-
neer through Congress, and to thus ale
viate the remorse which he was inevitably
destined to experience from the action of
the lower House. The courtesy was, os-
tensibly, to save the risk Of Col. JEFF. Da-
Wis valuable (tO southern nullifers) life,
but actually to accommodate the feelings
of President Buchanan. Senator Gamer
on, no doubt, feels perfectly justified in
throwing away the voice of this State in
the way he did, but he will find it very
difficult task to Justify the act before an
intelligent constituency, The vote on
the Army Bill was bad enough, but this
last act has nearly exhausted our charity
for him.
P. S.-Why didn't some of the Le-
comptonites "pair off, with Mr.. Harris,
whose life was endangered By his deter
mination to vote? We say, because that
would have been too great courtesy to
the friends of fair legisIa tion.

The Motive OF the Struggle.

We give on our first page an article
from the New York Zee. Post, which ac.
counts for the apparently insane course
of the National Administration in at
tempting to coercc State into the Union
against the wishes of the people of the
proposed State, and why fraud and out
rage have marked every step in the work
of coercion. The motive of the struggle
was to keep the control Of tie Gorern-
n,ent in the daaRs ofMe Stare P5uer
where it has been for the past sixty years.
The men engaged in this work, pay no
regard to the claims of justice, or the
rights of men at home; why should they
in their dealings with National questions !?
Is it any worse to deprive citizen of
Kansas of his vote, than a southern Slave
of himself, his wife and children? We
think the crime committed against the
Slave is hundred fold worse than those
committed in Kansas, aud therefore that
no person has right to be surprised at
the Kansas frauds, murders and house
burnings, for these are the legitimate
fruits Of the attempt to extend and per-
pctuate American Slavery; but read the
article from the Post for close exposi-
tion of this Kansas struggle.

SENATOR CAMERON.

! A letter was recently addressed tC
Senator CAMERON by the senior editor OF
the Harrisburg Telegraph, advising him
that there was disposition on the part
of his friends, in the Legislature and out
of it, to ccnsure him for not voting on the
Lecompton bill, but pairing off with Sen
ator DAVIS, of Mississippi. In reply to
that note Mr.. CAMERON has written the
following letter in explanation, which we
find in that paper of March 3lst:
WASHINGTON CITY, March 28, 1913.
NJ Dear ,Sr;-Your kind letter Of
the 25th has been received.
My ''friends in and out of the Legisla-
ture," you say, "censure me for pairing
off with sick man who, they say could
not be there. "
| certainly would have been censurable
if it were true that Col. DAVIS could not
have been present to vote; but such is
not the fact He had determined to come
to the Senate, against the advice Of his
physician, and Notwithstanding the fears
of his family. To prevent him from do
ing so, a mutual friend came to me with
an appeal. 1t was bad day [ had been
on intimate terms with him since | enter
ed the Senate in 1915, and could not
hesitate to do an act of grace to a friend,
knowing that the result could in no man
ner be affected by the loss of a vote on
each side, while my refusal might endan-
ger his life and believing too, that | had
character enough, won in the contest
thus far, to do a good act without incur
ring the censure of good men.
While | have omitted no exertion to
defeat this "Lecompton swindle," and
while | shall faithfully and zealously act
with my party for the common good of
my country, [ will not permit myself to
be one inch behind my opponents in the
courtesies and civilites which deprive
politics of their harshness, and invite men
of kindly feelings into the service of the
State, where such courtesies will produce
no injury to the public, [ prefer, great
ly the grace of the iufdel Saladin, in car
rying, at the risk of his own life, to the
tent of his foeman, the proud Ceur De
Leop-the talisman which restored his
health, to the Scottish reformers who
killed the prosecuting Arch Bishop on
his road to church, rather than let him
live and repent.
[ hope, therefore, that our friends will
not feel that | have neglected my duty
or committed any fault by according IA
vor which, under similar circumstances
| should feel that | had a right to ask for
myself.
Very truly your Friend,
SIMON CAMERON,
! Mr.. GEo. BgRGNER, Harrisburg Pa,
As we last week took occasion to cen
sure Senator Cameron in reference to the
matter of "pairing off" at a time when,
as the only representative the anti-Le-
comptonitcs of Pennsylvania had in the
u. S. Senate, the demand for his vote
against the iniquity was most imperative
we but do him justice in giving his ex
planation place in our columns. Blu
we are, at the same time, compelled t,
acknowledge that the explanation of th'
Hon. Senator is entirely unsatisfactor,
to US, inasmuch as he is not the repre-
sentative at Washington of persona
friendships and courtesies, but of tn

matters concerning the policy of our ma

What has BeCOme Of Popular
Sovereignty

The Senate of the United States, at the
request of the President has voted to force
Kansas into the Union with a Constitu-
ton which nine -tenthS of the people of
that Territory loath and detest. And this
has been done by the same party which
repealed the Missouri Compromise for the
sole reason, Gas the leaders said that it
prevented the people of forming their own
institutions in their own way,
And, in the Senate of Pennsylvania,
this same party has voted that Congress
has power to coerce a state into the Union
without the consent Of the people This
position is so at war with the whole gen.
ius of our Government, 50 contrary to the
pIeClyes made by the friends of Buchanan
during the campaign, that We put it on
record and ask every voter to read and /
ponder,
In the Senate, March 24th, the resolu--
tions relative to the admission of Kansas.
into the Union as a State, came up in or l..
der on their final passage, as follows:
Resolred by the Senate, de-, That this j.,
State has viewed with deep regret the
troubles heretofore existing i'll the Terri
tory of Kansas, productive as they have
been of differences among the organized
States that their continuance is to be
earnestly deprecated and their termination
sought for by all justifable means; and
that this General Assembly, confding In
the ability and patriotism of the present
Chief Magistrate of the United States,
and impressed with the wisdom and JUS
tice of his recommendation to Congress IN
favor of the immediate admission OF Nan
sas into the Union as State, do heartily
approve that measure, nd'endoroe 1t with
whatever of authority and influence per-
talns to them.
Resolccd, That any defective or objec-,
tionable provisions, if such exist, IN the.
Constitution of Kansas, (now pending be-
fore Congress- are for the consideration
of the people thereof, and that their pow
er to amend, alter or modify the same, if
they shall think proper, in regular and
lawful manner, immediately upon admis-
sion as State into the Union, is NnqaeS~
tiouable, and stands upon solid copstitu7
tional principles and the practice Of Amer
ican States.
Mr.. Turney, Douglas democrat from
Westmoreland, offered the following
amendment:
Resolved, DC, That the Constitution
of the United States confers no power on
Congress to coerce State into the Union
without the consent of the people

RG- The Lycoming Gazette follows in
the wake of the Clinton Democrat and
begs the faithful not to be excited about
the attempt to force constitution on the
people of Kansas, which they detest.
But the Gazette itself is furious at the
Massachusetts, Legislature for insisting
that slave oat9her shall not be Judge
of one her courts, This is a sure guide
to the sympathies of that paper, and gen.
orally of the papers of that party, When
an ally of slavery is rebuked for miscon-
duct, they are indignant; but when it is
only the rights of freemeu that are in
danger of being crushed out, then they beg
their followers to keep quiet So low has
the party fallen.

w ASHINGToN, Aprll L, 1898.
When the action of the House was
made known to the Senate. it receded
from the determination to adjourn till
Monday, which had been previousl made,
and Mr.. Green moved to non-concur in
the amendment.
This motion will be adopted to-mor-
row, and then the question for the House
will be whether it shall kill the whole
affair.
The usual proceeding is to insist and
ask for Committee of Conference; but
no such inclination is entertained No
conference is required, because the two
Houses radically disagree in principle.
Therefore the bill as disagreed to ought
to be laid on the table, whence it would
require two-thirds to take it up, or a mo-
ton to adhere should be carried, which
would give Lecompton its effectual qui
etus.
The Senate has kept back Minnesota
with designs of using it in the present
contingency, and it is not improbable, ii
the House SHOULD adopt the course sug-
gested. that Kansas may be put on as a
rider; but such scheme will be defeated
in the House.

REHABILITATION.
The House then adjourned,

1he House then auJourQeQr
Mr.. Crittenden's amendment as passed
was materially improved and modified
since it was first offered in the Senate
Instead Of saying that the Constitution
with which Kansas is now admitted shall
be submitted to the popular vote, it re-
fers to it merely as Constitution framed
at Lecompton. 1t prevents less than a
majority of the Board of Commissioners
from certifying the vote on the Constltu-
tion to the President, thus rendering the
Kiokapoo frauds and the like fruitless.
1t rejects the land-grab ordinance, and
Furnishes illegal voting or fraudulent re-
turns with severe penalties. 1t declares
that if Lecompton is rejected, and new
Constitution ratified by tie people, Kan
sas shall be absolutely in the Union thus
preventing any factious resistance to her
admission next Winter, or any demands
for compromises as conditions Of admis-
sion.
The Americans of Washington are as
reioiced at the result as the Republicans
and the Douglas Democrats in Congress.
The Buchanan men mourn and threaten
alternately. Old Buck is very gloomy
and indignant. The whippers-in insist
that the House must and will recede but
the anti-Lecomptonites are firm, and say
that the man VINO yields shall be BANDED
by the whole phalanx as disgraced.
Mr.. Harris Of Illinois came in from his
sick room, determined to vote, If it cost
him his life, as 1t may. He, with Messrs.
Hickman and Chapman Of Pennsylvania,
voted to reject the Senate bill absolutely.
Every anti-Lecompton Member should
still stay at his post, No one can know
the hour at which the Senate may send
back the bill.
