. The English Lecompto Swiudle Bill.
We give the material portions of Mr.
Enslish's substitute for the Kansas House
Till, in another column, that all may have
an opportunity of scanning It for them
selves. To our mini it is the most infa-
mous measure ever proposed in Congress.
I, offers large bride to the people of Kan
sas to accept the Lecompton Constitution
and Slayery. and in case they reject it en-
acts that she shall not be admitted in
to the Union until she has population of
90 ,6OO In other words, If she accepts
slave constitution she shall he admitted
With 40. 900 inhabitants and have an. extra
quantity of land besides; but cannot he ad-
mitted with free constitution until she
has sufficient population to cntitle her to
. representative in Congress. Why this
partiality to the cause of slavery? Gannot
northern men sec the otjecte
The bill was accepted by majority of
ne conference committee and Immediately
reported to both Houses. Its fate is not
positively known, but fears are felt that it
will pass. Ii it does heaven and earth will
be compasscd to induce the people Of Kan
sas to adopt Eecompton; and with the aid
of false representations and forged returns,
it is greatly feared the iniquity will sue
csed. The object of the nulliiers and dis
unionists is to force the free State men OF
Kansas to rebel and then annililate them
with Federal troops. Kansas. we verify
believe. will yet be made a slave State,
unless the freclncn Of the Union cvince a
firm determination to resist further outra-
ges in that territory.
The House postponed the consideration
Of the bill until the second Monday Of
May. The telegraph reports that eight
former anti-Lecompton Democrats are in
favor of it, and three former Lecompton
South Americans and three Democrats OPP
posed. This will make parties pretty
close. and the result extremely doubtful.
The Republicans on the conference com
Iniltec agreed to accept the bill, notwith.

viied Mr.. English would consent to sub
nit the Eeayenworth constitution at tn.
same time, but he refused. Why. 10 one
need be st loss to conjecture. The Crit

Growth of the Buchanan Party in Illinois.

The plumbers malc by the Administra-
ton in its conduct of the war upon Doug
las, in Illinois, will not prevent the rapid
crystalization and growth of a Buchanan
party in this State. The Senator stands
opposed to the President and his Cabinet,
to great majority of the Democratic Con-
gressmen, to the overwhelming masses of
the party even in the North; and, more
than that, he stands in opposition to his
own anteccdents and uniform teachings
The resistance to him at home is yet with
out effective organization or leaders who
arc able to cope with the Senator's friends;
but time will give form to the new chaotic
mass and raise up captains equal to the
emergency at hand The fight must go on
whether the Senator wills it or not. 1t is
not in his power to exact terms of submis
sien, or make treaty of peace as among
equals. This his followers will soon IN
derstand; and here and there, with nothing
but the prospect of constant warfare and
drop off, Some will seek safety in the
Republican, while the greater number will
90 back to the Administration, ranks
Whatever the Senator himself may do, he
cannot command the services of friends so
devoted that they, a mere handful, will long
maintain their ground between the two
great contending armies. exposed to -adead-
ly fire from each. To-day, in Illinois, the
Anti Lecompton Democracy are largely in
the majority; but every week will witness
thinning of their ranks and rapid growth
of the Administration forces. For one
thing our Republican friends must be pre-
pared: If Mr. English's plan for the ad-
mission of Kansas becomes law, as it
probably will before Congress .adjourns.
they must expect that Douglasism will die
out, and that the old Pro-Slavery Democ-
racy will be the only foe left in the field.
We regret that we are compelled to
make this prediction, because we had hoped
that Mr.. Douglas would be able to make a
vigorous and successful fight with the
nsnrpers to whom he stands opposed
But he has sacrificed the chances which he
had in his favor, and by blind and infat-
uated persistence in the plumbers and
crimes the effect of which he is vainly en-
deavoring to avert-has sacrificed his posi-
ton with the Propagandists, while he has
effectually cut himself of, from Republican
sympathy and aid. But, it is his fight,
not ours Chicago Tribune. - - II ~, '"o

Anna will not return to this country until
he is invited without opposition, and that
such an event sinot probablein the pres

it is the very general expression that if

There is a small party working here for
the purpose of bringing about an European
Intervention. Their dream is an European
prince, supported by ten or twenty thou

This is said to be a favorite idea with the
French minister hcre and their views are
now turned to one of the children of Maria
Christina, dowager Queen of Spain, by the

The Russian Emancipation.

The accounts of the progress Of the
emancipationof the Russian serfs are very
encouraging. The emperor seems to have
entered upon this work with strong res
olution to bring it not merely to success
ful but to speedy conclusion. He was
willing and DESTROYS that the Russian nobil-
ity should share with him il the credit OF
this movement, and he therefore referred it
to them to propose, in their respective
provinces, the terms and conditions on
which this great social change should take
place. In few of the provinces the no.
bility came readily into the scheme, but IN
Others they have shown themselves so hos
tile to it as to provoke dangerous agita-
ton on the part of the serfs, who it is re-
ported, in some of the provinces, have
even compelled their lords to seek safety
in flight. These disturbances have male
the emperor resolve not to wait the tarly
and reluctant movements of the mobiles, but
at once to take the matter in his own
hands Accordingly, he has created a
council of twelve members, headc'l by the
Grand Duke Constantine who has always
beer a decide a'lvoc ate for the einancipa-
ton policy, to whom is intrusted the duty
of carrying ont as speedily as possible thi,
great social and economical reform. We
also learn that loan of sixty million ru-
bles, or about S44 100000 has also
been decided upoa to be usel in partial
purchase Of the land with which the lib
eratel serfs are to be endowed. An all
vance of about S13 per head will be thus
made by tire government, not for the per-
sonal liberty of individuals. but to insure
them the free occupancy of the land upon
which they are to reside. At Moscow a
new periodical has made its appearance,
for the purpose Of advocating this measure
of emancipation, as promising great ben
elits, not merely to cmancipated scrfs. but
TO the proprietors; and, in the increased
value of their lanas, an abundant indem
nifty for all that they may loose in Their

= Correspondence Of the N. Y. Evening post. = /.

WASHINGTON, April 10.
Mr. Giddings received a letter to-day
from highly respectable citizens in slave
State, south of this city, which states that
gentleman has recently died there "leav-
ing last will and testament, providing
therein for. the liberation of one of his
slaves, woman, and her removal, accor.
ding to law, to some one of the free States:
appropriating one thousand dollars for that
purpose: the expenses of her removal to be
paid out of this amount, and the balance
secured to her by some safe investment.-
Inc woman expresses herself willing to
CO.. The writer asks the assistance of
Mr.. Gidding's advice as to ''what State
will permit her being taken within her
limits, and which one of them it would be
best for her to be sent, and what part of
it." Fhe letter solicits Of Mr. Giddings
suggestion as to the general management
OF the affair, the Investment of the money!"
&c.
Mr.. Giddings, in reply, commended
that the woman be sent to Mercer or Shelby
county, Ohio, in each of which there is
hourishing settlement of colored people
tie informs me that in Mercer county, in
that State, there is a settlement Of colored
people of some five or six hundred per-
sons, occupying some eighteen or twenty
square miles of territory, most of which is
good land and is appropriated to agricul-
ture. There is on this territory village
of some forty or fifty dwellings,. The peo--
pie are Industrious and prosperous.
In Shelby county, near the settlement
above mentioned, is another embracing a
population of nearly two thousand souls,
occupying some thirty square miles of ter
ritory. They are agriculturists many of
them possess wealth. and employ merhan-
les and laborers, both white and black
They have furnishing village, have
schools equal to those of the white settle
ments around them, and in all respects
they are as elevated morally as the sur
rounding white people.

The road would cause no immediate drain
on the Treasury--its whole expense would
not equal the little Mormon war, while if
we had war with an European Power it
would save its cost twenty times. More
over, the principle involved is quite con-
stitutional, and is the same as is involved
