II ne NAV Judge BY the latest accounts from
K.nxss. and by the tone Of the press there, no
a,.,,t can be entertained that the people Of that
territory will spurn the infamous briOe offered
them to accept the Leeompton constitution IN
der the extraordinary indneement Of the grant Of
pnblie lands contained in the so called "Enghsh
compromise" and repudiate it BY an immense
majority. The Lawrence Herald q Freedom
which has so long been ultra conservative IN It's
tone as free State print, says that the people Of
Kapzas will vote down the infamous Leeompton
eoaeoctiou, coupled with ever so many brides,
With General indignation. and not only so, but
chang every man that attempts TO organize
government there" under it The Lawrence Ne
p.5hean, which is the leading organ OF the Tree
safe marty, repudiates the idea Of compliance
with the terms Of the English bill. in order to be-
come a State. in like severe terms. The Leaven-
worth Times is Of like mind. and says
..o,r dutv as il appears to us, is plain though
:, ~ ,y-a;nf,l with that devotion aud magnan.
im,,v characteristic Of the flee State party, We
should drop all thought Of existing Sta,e govern

The Leavenworth Ledger Indignantly replies 10
the administration efforts to induce the people OF
Kauzas to disgrace themselves BY compliance
with the terms Of the proposition suomi'teq 10
them, as follows;
..wa vvcnld inform the administration that the
uovsrnment does not own land enough to buy up
fhe neople of anzas. We w0u q Iather consigh

knaves but give US chance At the uatlot ooA
and we will return the compliment
The Quipdaro Chi,sdosoan, which represents
the views and feelings OF the people Of hanzas as
we'll as any other journal, says
.sThe unfair submission Of the Lecompton con-
sitution will not shield IL; the people Will strike
through the ordinance to bury the lance OF thelr
lust Indignation deep in the heart OF the SWIM
die. This dodge has two features, oiloe ana
threat, The bTibe is nothing more than otner
new States have received, and which, IN justice,
Will be given to Kanzas by some future Congress,
when the national Legislature shall have been
purred as it most surely will be, and tnat flgnt
early The threat is THAI hanzas must remain
territory for an indefinite period unless Lecomp.
ton is accepted. But this is of piece with the
brine Until the right of petition is revoked, the
people OF Kanzas will retain the prerogatlve TO
send 40 an application for admission into the
Union as a State, and the day is not far distant
when national Congress will override the dc
tum Of an imbecile executive, and invest iIee
Kanzas with all the dignity andQeven immunity
OF sovereign State"
a large and enthusiastic meeting was held At
Lawrence, K. T., on the 9Th inst, as we learn
by the papers, to consider the propositions con-
tanned in the EngIish-LecomPtOn bill which pass
ed Congress. The speakers we're Judge Conway
free State candidate for Congress, General Lane,
Judge Philips, and Others. The speakers spoke
strongly against the bill They regard it as
bribe and threat. They advised the people to
vote on the 18th inst. for the Leavenworth con-
stitution. and to vote down the Enelish-Leaven'
worth constitution.
The Leavenworth constitution would be voted
upon fairly, and is likely 70 be adopted BY large
majority. When adopted, they would apply for
admission into the Union under it, and no mem-
Der Of Congress from the free States would dare
vote against their admission. But If the consti-
tuition should be rejected, they would appeal to
the people Of the whole country, and By SO doing
right their many wrongs. asa3
