The New Lecompton Compromise.

Mr.. English Of Ind, has proposed hts com
promise of the Lecofnpton question, and u hy-
brid affair it is. While it Yields up the admin
~istration position, and sends the Lccompton con-
%stitution back for a vote of the people, it hedges
that vote about with such conditions as greatly
to complicate the whole question and expose
the territory and the country to an indefinite
continuance of the present uncertainty and agi-
tation. First, IL tcmpts the people to vote for
the Lecompton constitution by holding out the
promise of large land grants 60 the new State,
and by providing that If It is rejected nothing
shall he lone towards their admission until u
census by u. ). officers shows u population
equal to the ratio for u representative in Con-
grcss (0j ,3i0) and second, it leaves the count
ing of the votes on the question of acceptance
to the governor and secretary Of the territory,
the L. 5. district attorney, and the speakers OF
the territorial and state legislatures, five per-
sons, of whom the majority are the creatures Of
the administration
This proposition was at first accepted by the
administration and rejected BY the republican
members of the conference, and the former with
Mr.. English, were intent on reporting it at once
to their respective branches and putting it
through them but as its details came out there
were demonstrations Of opposition from extreme
southern members, that have commanded a halt
III tne pIOcttthHBs ~ ItpHHa' lut iSl""iN"u"'
and their anti Lccompton allies in general de-
nouncc the bill as a compound attempt to bully
and bride the people into accepting a slave con-
~stitution that they do not want, and are severe
upon Mr.. English for the BETRAYAL of his pro-
LESSONS, and his rc-alliancc with the admins
tration party. II, however, the southern mem
bers can all be coaxed into its support, We sup
pose it can be carried by the aid of Mr.. Eng
fish and two or three other heretofore anti e-
compton democrats. The chief objection to it,
ON the whole, is that it settles %nothing-it keeps
"blceding Kansas" bleeding still and so far,
at least, is less preferable than L%ccompton
straight without submission. Iii is an attempt 20
drive the people of the territory into assuming
for themselves what the administration has
failed to force upon them and the hopes Of it,
success with them are based on the supposition
that the majority of the voters care more for
getting into the Union and lingering the rich
grants of land offered as a bride, than they do
for their own consistency, honor and inherent
right to fashion their own institutions. -SpriEy-

Emancipation in Missouri.

In no State in the Union is the cause of free
labor making more rapid strides than in Mis-
souri,. For nearly thirty years a border slave
state she has produced, with many able and true
men, some of the very worst type of slave-hold.
ers and slavery propagandists. Her Atchisons
Sulngfellows and other border r%ufians, and her
Green and Phelps and like aiders and abettors
of such outrages have secured a permanent place
in the history of that state. But another class
OF men are springing up who are destined to
a new era in her political annals
Her Browns and Blairs are typical of the class
which is yet to direct in her councils and con-
troll the machinery of her government.
lhe election of Blair from the St. Louis Dis
trict to the present Congress, and a free labor
mayor OF that city by a small plurality opened
the eyes OF the pro-slavery men throughout the
country. The meagre plurality given the dem
ocratic candidate for governor of that State last
year incurred their establishment but the re-
cent municipal elections have aroused their
strongest fears. They nave heretofore regarded
the subject of emancipation as a tame affair, con-
fined wholly to the city of St. Louis, but the fri
umphs OF the free labor party in Jefferson CITY
and numerous other places have awakened them
to the fact that the emancipation movement is
becoming a formidable power in the State that
must either be crushed at once, or it will soon
have the control of affairs. The Missouri Re-.
publican, the chief organ of pro-slavery in Mis-.
souri,, is especially alarmed, and comes out in
bold capitals calling upon all the fag-ends Of
conservatism to unite against the "black Repub-
LEANS" We think the emancipation movement
in Missouri too deeply rooted to be overturned.
The soil has proved more favorable for its
growth than its most ardent friends had reason
to hope-and the impetus which the prosperity
of the State has already received in consequence
is an earnest of great results should the move

to the Directors, he went To one of them, Mr..

that some of it was then in his pocket and
advised that he be searched by an officer. This
was not done, but when Mr.. Carey put on his
overcoat to return home, he found a package of
bills amounting to $3.50, in his pocket. This
discovery quickly brought the parties face to
face, when Pratt at first continued his accusa-
lions of Mr.. Carey but finally acknowledged
that he had stolen the money, and on search

was brought before Joseph Bruce and waived

Mr.. BUCHANAN BECOMES a GoD-sEND.-A
contemporary thinks that James Buchanan is q
god-send, as he will bring the American people
to repentance, the first step in the road that
leads to Heaven. This idea reminds us of an
other. In a certain village in Ohio, there re-
sided a family consisting of an old man named
Beaver and his four sons, all Of whom were hard
"pets," and who had often laughed to scorn the
advice and entreaties of II pious though eccen-
trio minister who resided in the same town. 1t
happened that one OF the boys was bitten by a
rattlesnake and was expected to die, when the
minister was sent for in great haste. On his
arrival he found the young man very p%enitent,
and anxious to be prayed with. The minister
calling on the family, kneeled down and prayed
in this wise:
"Oh Lord, we thank thee for rattlesnakes
we thank thee because a rattlesnake has bit Jim.
We pray thee send a rattlesnake to bite John
send one to bite Bill send one to bite Sam
and, o, Lord, send the biggest kind of rattle
snakes to bite the old man for nothing but
rattlesnakes will ever bring the Beaver family
to repentance"
Mr.. Buchanan is the political rattlesnake an
all-wise Providence has placed in the Execu-
tive chair to bite the citizens of this country in
to rebellion to Presidential dictation and off.
cial corruption.
sob, Lord, we thank thee for sending that rat
lesnake--thank thee that he has bit Douglas and
Walker, and Wise and Bell, and Crittenden and
Stanton. Let him bite our near neighbor, the
representative from Albany, even. Erastus, the
dealer in hardware. Let him bite Sam and
give him a back bone to those who once wor-
shipped in the midst of dark lanterns-and, O
Lord, we ask thee as a special act of grace, that
he may bite the old man of Binghamton,' and
his son-in-law Courtney, of this city. For moth
ing but such a bite can save them from political
death and everlasting Reproduction ."-AlJany

ment become sufficiently strong to rid Missouri
of her slave system and %inaugurate free institu-
tons, of which there now seems no reason to
doubt.
Such a victory, wrung from the once strong
hold of the enemy, will be worth all it can cost
no matter what price may be paid. 1t will mark
the retrogression of Slavery with all its blight
ing, whitening influences, and the substitution
therefor of the intelligent paid labor of free
men. The problem that has been SO success
fully worked out by the northwestern states
carries with it a force that is yet to eradicate
slavery.
