rsa- The great question in Congress
and before the country is, Shall the peo
pie of Kansas have an opportunity to vote
for Or against the Constitution under which
they are to live? This is the whole issue
No sophistry can obscure, and no knavery
dodge it. ALLISON WHITE, and the other
members of Congress who look to the
" hlte House for instructions, say that the
people of Kansas shalt come into the
Union, whether they desire it or not, and
they shall live pndor the Leoompton Con-
stltution till lS6t, whether they like it or
not. Now what is this but the most odi-
Gus despotism !? Tho I.ecompton Consti-
tuition is the offspring Of fraud, usurpa-
ton and villainy. No matter, says Mr..
White The President desires Kansas
coerced into living under this hated in
struWpnt, and [ shall be able to control
the patronage in my district if / 60 for
his measure. So Mr.. White votes for
Lecompton, kaQ,cing that his constituents
are opposed TO it, and that it is an out
rage Oh the people of Kansas,
---~
layH Last week, after the House had
voted to adhere to their previous action
in regard to the LeGompton Constitution,
the Senate demanded conference, This
the House granted by vote of l0S to
los, the Speaker voting in the affirmative
to overcome the tie, The Speaker Of the
Senate appointed on the committee Messrs.
Green, Seward and Hunter; the Speaker
Of the House appointed Messrs. English,
Stephens and Howard Tho following is
the action of the Committees on Saturday
last:
Special Despatch to the Evening Post
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Com
mittee Of Conference on the part OF the
Senate, in relation to the Kansas Lecomp-
ton bill, met this morning. MIR. Hunter
of Virginia, was absent. Messrs. Seward
and Green failed to agree on any plan to
propose to the House Committee.
The committee, on the part of the
House, also met, but declined to act till
proposition should have been made by the
Senate Committee. Mr.. Stephens was
absent.
TIE next and final meeting will take
place on Monday. 1t is not supposed that
there is any probability of an agreement.
The absence of Messrs. Hunter and
Stephens evinces that the administration
is disposed to stave off matters.

Politics In Illinois.

Parties at the present time are singularly
divided in Illinois. Some time ago The
friends of Judge Douglas held a State Con.
vention at which a State ticket was nomi.
mated, and the Judges course in Congress
endorsed, but nothing more. Since then,
the friends Of the Administration have held
State Convention, nominated q State
ticket, and severely denounced in their res
oIutiors Judge Douglas and the Democrats
who acted with him in Congress in oppo-
sitiOn to the Lecompton Constitution. -
In the meantime the Republicans have
held their State Convention, nominated q
popular State ticket, arrayed themselves
against the Dred Scott decision, against
the Kansas policy of the Adu inistration,
and re.affirmed their devotion to the Re.
publican Platform Of 1856. Asth par.
ties stand now, in connection With the fact
that the State is quite close when the De.
mocracy is united, there can be no doubt
but the Republicans will sweep the State
by an overwhelming majority. They are
admirably united, full of life and hope, and
are iO every respect fully prepared to en-
gage in contest that will not only secure
present success, but Which will for the
first time place Illinois permanently in the
Republican ranks. .
Hon Abram Lincoln appears to be the
first and only choice Of thu Republicans for
Judge Douglass seat. He is not only well
lnowu and popular with the people of the
"Sucker State" bu. bis natural abilities
together with his long experience as mem.
Der of the HOUSE of Representatives, pecu.
liarly fit him to occupy and adorn a seat
in the United States Senate.

that we hope that the Republican COnveu.

son for that office; and that Mr. Smith
should be retained as the candidate Of the
