Extracts from Senator critisnden,s Speech.


We publish below some of the argu-
ments given against the passage of the
Kansas Bill, in the Senate on the 18th
ult, by Mr.. CRITTENDES, of Kentucky,
and regret that we have not space for the
whole speech. There are, of course, some
points in it with which we do not coin
eide, but they are merely differences in
opinion, and we give him the credit of
having honestly expressed them. Mr. c.
IS an old veteran of vast attainments, and
was a compeer of Henry Clay. He has,
as he says, lived all his life in Southern
State, and has been accustomed from his
childhood to that frame of society of
which Slavery forms a part; but he dis
sents from the course pursued by Davis,
Toombs and Hammond, who with their
ultraism are endeavoring to embroil the
North and South in quarrel, in order to
dissolve the Union. His forte, ike the
revereds Clay, lies in pouring oil upon the
troubled waters, and he reminds us Of
those worthy Southerners who formed a
part of the early Congress, such as Wash
iDgton, Jefferson and Madison. Unlike
Hammond, of South Carolina, he thinks
that the North also possesses mighty re-
sources and power, and that both North
and South compacted together make
magnificent country. These are true
American views. After urging theincon-
sistent and fraudulent character of the Lee
compton Constitution, he proceeds:
an my judgment, we have a prece-
dent on our books, which shows | am
right in this view, In the case of Iowa.

tuition, and asked for admission according

ticnaIly on condition that she should
hold another Convention and assent TO the

and upon that assent being thus given, the
President was to proclaim Il, and without
further proceeding, she vas afterwards to
be a State IN the Union. What did the
people Of iowa dc Did they proceed ac-
cording to this act Of Congress and call

aLecomniou ;,


"Lecompton is sinking" There is every
reason for believing that it has had its
day. 1t was begotten in crime, it ema-
mated from a corrupt source, and it has
been nourished by all that is repugnant
to deeency- and humanity. The very
name suggests every thing abominable in
the catalogue of crime during o three
yearsexistence-primarily when in Amer
ican Territory, which, by common bond,
was dedicated alike to American freemen,
murder and repacity was rampant, and
the Reign of Terror was revived with
all its horrors; subsequently when its
hydra form beseiged the National Capitol
at Washington, and attempted to @crush
out' the last spark of human freedom
All honor to the Hercules who have there
so nobly fought every inch of ground for
justice and right. and whose fire brands
are fast awiping ont" its infamous exis-

Caihounss Letter.


It will be seen by Join Calhoun's letter
in another column that he has at last been
compelled to reject the vote at Delaware
Crossing. and give certificates to major
ity of Free State candidates for the Leg
isiature. His conduct has caused consid-
erable excitement among the Lecompton-
ties who have clustered quite valiantly
about it. BE, however, remains naunp in
relation to issuing other certificates, further
than to assert that the Democratic :,
candidates for the other offices were sure
" elected. The Administration men are
considerably detected. They know that il
there should be occasion for the meeting
of the Legislature which Calhoun has de-
clared was elected on the 4th Of January,
that they viii lose two United States SEN
sters, aud consequently they can gain
nothing BY the passage of the Lecompton
Constitution. This result Calhoun re-

How is This /?

& The mail that brings the Herald of
Freedom always brings the Emporia Nelcs
of the same date, and the Kansas Leader
of the following week. Centropolis is
some twenty, and Emporia eighty miles
beyond Lawrence, with fewer mail faeili-
ties, and the Herald is printed several days
in advance of its publication day; yet it
is generally two weeks old when we re-
ceive it. Lecompton and Topeka also
have favorable mail facilities, yet the pa
pers from these towns are about as expe-
ditious as the Herald of Freedom The
Leavenworth papers, with the exception
of the Herald, come so seldom, and so
long after date, that they might as we'll
not come at all, if it were not for the
name of the thing. We>have forgotten
how the Times looks. Mysterious are
thy ways, o Kansas mails.
The mail from Lawrence to Leaven-
worth is now carried only on Tuesdays,
which is probably one reason why the
Herald of Freedom is not received sooner
at White Cloud.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1858-04-03

The Herald Of freedom informs US that
DR.. C. Robinson, of Kansas, has gone to
Washington for the purpose of using his
influence TO defeat the Lecompton Con-
stitution; and Col. Lane is reported to
have said, in a speech at Elwood short
time ago, that the passage of that meas
ure .would not create ripple on the sur
face Of Kansas affairs ;, Verify, we be-
lieye the people are returning to their So
Der senses. Already there have been too
many ripples on the surface and too much
blood shed in Kansas over distractions.
4 brighter day, we verify believe, is
dawniDg upon that Territory, and also mp
on the great Stateof MissoilIi. We have
had enough of strife. enough of commo-
ton, enough suffering on accountof Kan
sas affairs to set our heads snd hearts
against such foilies in the future. Park

Lecomnion oona,i.u.ion.

Considerable interest is manifested in
this quarter, on the arrival Of every mail,
to learn the success of the Lecompton
Constitution IN Congress. Many eastern
journals, which have reputation for the
correctness of their reports, affirm that
they have the best of authority for say
ing that it never can pass the House OF
Representatives, and the result will be
defeat, though 1t has passed the SEN
ate by.a vote of 33 to 25. Itappear that
there are men in both Houses who are
proof against the Corruption by which
the Leeompsonites hoped to ensure the
contamination Of their scheme. But in
this they have been disappointed. Not a
stone has been left unturned by them to
accomplish their purpose; all the argu-
ments which they could command, and
all the sophistries which they could in
vent, were used without success. The
executive patronage, which had been re-
served in case other means failed, was
then brought into requisition. A few un-
principled and weak members seized the
bait; but there were enough remaining
who have proved as true as steel-meD
who have been offered fortunes for their
votes and influence but have refused
Never has there been an attempt in an
American Congress to fasten upon a loyal
people such deep and damnable fraud
as this, by fair means or by foul, and we
hope that the minions of Slavery have

never viii forget. The heart bleeds in
contemplating the great and radicalchange
which has occurred in American legisla-
ton within the last twenty years. 0ur
free institutions are now subject of de-
rision throughout the known world.

The Utah Morenani.

Col. SUMNER, who has been honorably
acquitted at the Carlisle Barracks, Penn
sylvania, of the charge made against him
by Gen. Harvey, and is now on visit to
his family in Watertown, N. Y, is ex-
pected to arrive at Fort Leayenworth
about the Goth of April with 500 dragons,
when force of 1900 men will probably
take up their line of march for Utah to
strengthen Gen. JOHNSON at Camp Scott.
The distance from Leavenworth to Camp
Scott is nearly 1000 miles, and from the
latter place. to Salt Lake City, IS about so
miles.
We learn byslate adyiees from Camp
Scott, that intercourse between Gen. John
son and the Mormons, has been closed
since the lst of January. The Mormons
are busy in raising fortifeations and max
ing the implements necessary for q des-
perate fight.
We had supposed from all former ac.
countswhieh have been received from
Utah, that the Indians were in alliance
with the Mormons. This proves incor
rect, A large band of Utahs had paid :
visit to Camp Scott and were well re-
ceived by the superintendent, who dis

G We would call attention to the
advertisement in to-day's paper, of the
Moneka Academy. Moneka is beauti-
full town near the center of Linn county,
and about 60 miles south of Lawrence
1t is handsomely situated on the Little
Sugar Creek, and in view of the beauti-
full Sugar Mound in that vicinity. The
proprietors have with praiseworthy enter
prise erected large Academy building
and taken the initiatory steps for a per-
manent institution of learning, the Leg
islature having granted them very lib
eral charter for University.
The citizens of this place originated
the plan of the 81 efferson City, Usage and
Neosho Valley Rail Road" with the ex-
pectation of making their town principal
point on the road. The Legislature of
Missouri chartered it to the State line,
and company has been formed to con-
tinuei through to the Neosho river. 1t
is expected that Congress will grant land
to build this road. Settlers desirous of
educating their children, and of locating

The Non.yoting Policr.

The editor of the Concord Patriot hav-
ing read in one of Secretary STASToN's
speeches that of the 1900 voters in
Kansas 10000 are Free State men, and
$500 Pro- Slavery men, asks the follow
ing questions
l. Why did the 1880 Free State
men allow the $500 Pro- Slavery men to
elect all the delegates to the Lecompton
Convention, and thus obtain the legal
power to make a Constitution
2. Why did this 1880 allow the
2,500 to adopt the slavery clause, when
| the question was submitted to the peo-
| pie to decide whether Kansas should be
slave or free State
3. And why did the $500 allow the
$500 to come SO near electing the State
officers and Legislature under the Le-
compton Constitution, as to render the
result doubtful, and dependent upon the
acceptance or rejection of q few fraudu-
| lent votes
And remarks that
These are pertinent questions, founded
on indisputable facts, and until they are
satisfactorily answered, it will be in vain to
attempt to excite the sympathies of in
telligent honest men in favor of those
who have thus factiously neglected theil
duty, willfully sacrificed their right, and
deliberately surrendered the cause oil
freedom to the tender mercies of pal
try minority composed of its bitter foes.'
In answer to the first question, il
viii be remembered that at the time
many Free State men disputed the legal
ity of the election-the Act for taking
the Census not having been obeyed to
the letter, and the plea that fair election
could not be had I; while many would
not vote unless the Topeka Government
ordered them to do so.
The answer to the second enquiry is
that the slavery question never. has been
fairly submitted to the people with Fed
eral completely; and the pretended sub.
mission through the Lecompton Consti-
tuition was mere farce.
The answer to the third question is
that the voting policy was the subject o
a protFacted debate, two days in length
lin Mass Convention at Lawrence, (tht
I22d and 2ad of December last) at The
close of which the non-voters claimed tht
victory, deied the voice of reason, and
used their energies to defeat the Ere,
State ticket on the 4th of January.
We venture the assertion that shoulG
another election be held in Kansas, viii
the same principles at stake, at 1eas
four fifths of the Free State men would
vote the whole ticket; for the excitemen
which then prevailed has passed away
and many would now vote, who would
not vote then, for they have recsived tn.

GT John Calhoun. BY his satanic pres
ence in Washington, is fast killing the erea-
ture Of his own invention. His Border
Ruffian character has caused revolution
in the minds of honest southerners, and
they have already eyinced their loathing
of him in various ways. Mr. GRITrES-
DEN, of Ky, in his late speech against the
Swindle, gave the sentiments of large
portion of the southern people, and the
defeat of this measure is everywhere re-
gasded as morally certain.
