is to stay whore they ave. or II they II
come here to be sure aud fetch money en- ugh
to ge, back again, for there arc unlred #
men here without the means Of getting home
aud there is no chance to work here for any
length If time, and wages are very small
when one can get work. The boys Come
, down here from Victoria and Whntcom in
droves and al kinds of ways, and you could
see them starting out every morning with
their blankets on their banks for home, for

There is no one making money here hu,

: Efy- Let u, suppose that the people OF
Kansae. at the election on the first NJ 'nday
of August, have rejected the Lrcompton
constitution. Let u also snppo,e that the
Ter,ito,inl Legislature will order the calling
I, of another convention, nnI that a new con-
stitution wi be submitted for the conslie
ration OF the next Congress--what then'-
A bill may be passed by the lower house "t
Congress n dmitting Kansas with her new
constitution, bur it cannot succeed in the
Sennte--no, not for quarter of a century
to come, and the nd coates for the ndn'S-
sion will be forced 10 take the ground that
new States NAV be admitted without he ra
ito of representation requLed for member
of Congress in he existing Sta es. Where
can they find arguments TO sustain thai po-
,ition "--S. f. Herdid.
In the census Of nearly every ate that
has been admitted into the Union. The
State of Florida polled in 1856, only some
1900 votes more than the county of San
Francisco Where can you fnd arguments
to sustain you in the position forced upon
the people of Kansas by the EagliSh bill ,
that they may come into The Union with n
constitution that is repugnant to their
30 600 inhabitants. but shall bot come in
with such constitution as they may desire
with less than 10000.
