bo,cnohiV gated; ag.isst the Sena.es Le
com- :, BIZ; in favor OF the Crittenden Montg'n-
e,v smsrdreut or substitute ali against reced-
ing from hat sme1dmer.. Yet, when the Senate
aktd q Conference with tie HcIse on this meas-
ure, Mr.. English moved that the request be ac-
csJsd 10, aud, having sVcceeded, by the Speakers
ca.iing vote was appointed BY tha Speaker as an
Arti.Leccmptoh ms nber Of .he Conference Com
mi.tee, and thus i've ted practically with power to
sell out the House. And the misg'ings with
which this appointment was received--Mr. Mont
gCmery being the decided choice of the Anti'Le
compton SIDE Of the HOUSE for the place thus given
to Mr. E.--were sllenced by hi, express declara-
tion, that be stood firmly by the position Of the
House.
Yet Nr English submits as his own pr'ject,
which is readily asselted to BY the slsyehodiag haf
Of tie Conft reIce-ssid project proposing, IN e.
feet, to offer to tie People Of Kans.s enormous
br;bts TO acquiesce in and ratify the Lecompton
Constitution. "Ssy 'Yes TO tbs! Constitution, -
says Mr. English in substance, "and you will i'm
" medistely be State in the Union, with Three
Millions Of your choicest lands appropriated t.
constructing several Railroads in various Dire
{" tions through your Territory; whereas, if you
81 soy NO. you shall thereby forfeit those lands
/" ard railroads, forfsi! your chance Of immediate
earnis-iou and shall be doomed TO 70 main ont Of
" tie Union until you shall have proyei that you
"haye population sufficient to entitie you 10 q
Member Of Congress"-which is over $4,000
now and will be from no. 900 to 49, 900 under the
census Of 1860.
Of course, 70 advocate of Justice to Kansas, or
of Federal impartality as between Slavery and
Freedom, can support this project which in effect
offers bIbe equal to some Millions OF Dollars to
the People of Kansas as an inducement to come
into the Union as q Slave State. But if the Le-
comptonites have strength to force this measure
tbrough-aDd we presume they have, II they are
unanimously in IFS favorwe shall regard their sue
cess with profound Indifference ard with sangune
expectation that it will prove futile and abortye.
Others may distrust the People of Kansas, but we
never shall until they prove themselves unworthy Of
trust. TIE Land bribe offered them by English is
a great one, in view Of their general poverty and
needs but it is not so large the Devil is reported
TO have offered on memorable occasion, and will
prove no more effective than that. There are among
them greedy spectators in towns sites and Indian
1oats as well as rayenOus Office-seekers who are
prepared to do anythirg submit to anything, sell any
thing in orderto gut their avarice or their ambitions
but the majority are not of this stamp Probably
enough votes might be drummed up by the specu-
lators to double the fair Pro-Slavery poll of the
Territory making Five Thousand in all for the ac
ceptance of LecOmpten as measure Of peace,
&c. for the sake cf the Land grab, ard in view of
the concession of the Legislature by Calhoun, the
power Of II majority to change the Constitution,
&c.-but these would be met by poll Of Ten
Thousand against Lecompton and all its wiles, its
bribea, and ito u.nrP.teno. We soy, then, Let Inc
Lecomptonites pass English's scheme If they VIII
and can; they will thereby delay, but cannot pre-
yelt. the admission of Kansas under Free Consti-
tuition, authorized and ratified by large majority
Of her People.
