The Empire City at New Orleans
Search Of American Vessels
Great Excitement.

Great Excitement.
New ORLEANS, May 18th
United States mill steamer Empiri

New York, via Havana, ane reports
that the search Of American vessel:
in the Gulf Of Mckee, by BiitisI
cruisers, still continued, added IL
which the most downright insults
were perpetrated. AT Sagua Ia
Grande, the search Of all the vessels
in port was also being prosecuted
vigorously.
These apparently high-handed and
unWarrautable proceedings have crea-
ted a widespread excitement and
indignation in this city, and it is
urged that the Federal authorities
should take the matter in hand at
once. As it is, vessels leaving this
port for the Gulf, for some time to
come, will feel under the necessity of
going fully armed.

The English Substitute.

The bill reported from the Commit
tee of Conference, known by the above
title, will pass both Houses, it is con-
fidently believed, before adjournment.
There is some difficulty just now,
originating from two causes. A few
gentlemen wish to leave Washington
for q week or two, some to attend to
their private business and others to
attend the Charleston races They
therefore desire the postponement Of
the English bill until their return.--
Another cause is the uncertainty of
both parties as to their strength on
the bill. 1t looks rather dark for the
Republicans, however, as we find them
voting unanimously for postpOnement.
For one, we think the members should
attend to business first and pleasure
afterwards. Especially should they
be faithful to the interests of the ma.
ton, out Of the treasury of which they
draw $4,000 per session, be it long
or short one.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, in speak.
ing Of the English substitute, says:
The Black Republican papers are
80 inccnsed at English and his propo.
sition, that they cannot restrain them.
selves within the bounds OF deceucy.
They are insisting particularly that
the plan is a bribe offered to the
people Of Kansas to accept the Le.
compton Constitution. 1t is TO such
thing. The ordinance attached to the
Lecompton Constitution. il has been
officially ascertained, would give to
Kansas seventeen millions acres of
land.
BY Mr.. Engliah's plan, if adopted
by the people, Kansas would get but
five million acres. The propositions
in Mr.. English's plan are the same as
in the Minnesota bill of Mr.. Douglas,
and the amount of land granted is
similar to what has beer given to other
new St0tcs. Instead, then, of bribing
the people Of Kansas, by offering them
large grants ofland ifthev will accept
the Lecompton Constitution, the plan
cuts -dnwn uarP largely what the LIZ.
compton ordinance provided the State
should receive.
1t takes two to make q bargain; and
ifCongress change any part OF the or
nance attached to the Lecompton Con.
stitution, they cannot impose it on the
people Of Kansas without giving them
M opportunity to concur or reject
That the English plan proposes to do,
and that is about the whole oft.

been schooled sufficiently to know how
to rid themselves of the Lecompton or
any other Objectionable constitution,
should they desire it, without strife or
b!oodshed, if the power shall be in the
hands of the majority. or conrse, if
we have the government, we can do
as the good OF the State shall require,
with "nOne to modest or make us
afraid" Hence you see the reason
why have urged our people to vote
for State officers under that constitu-
ton, in order that we might not be
left at the mercy of Congress or any
other power. / noticed some time
since that friend Piper, in the Reveille,
criticised our voting policy rather Sc.
verely, and among other things, if |
remember rightly, said "it was incon-
sistent for us to vote for State officers
on the same day that we voted against
tie constitution" But how could we
know that majority Of the people
would vote against it 2 or, if they did,
how could we know that Congress
would regard that vote2
All must admit there was posi-
bility, if not probability, Of our being
admitted into the Union under that
constitution, even though a majority
Of votes should be cast against it on
the 4th OF January; and such being the
case, why not put the government un
der it in the hands of our friends, so
that, should there be any necessity for
change, or revolution even, it could
be effected peaceably Z Having done
this, should Lecompton be admitted,
we should at once organize the gov
ernment, and take such action as sho'd
best subserve the interest Of the State.
Indeed, were there no question as to
who would receive the certificates Of
election, Lam not certain that Kansas
,cOuld be the gamer By being admit,
ted under any concsiUable ConStitu.
ton, Jfths agitation could thus be
ended, rather than to be left in con-
fusion with three State constitutions
and governments, besides the Terrific
rial government, for another year.
Kansas had her share of political agi.
tations, and her impoverished citizens
are anXions for q return of honorable
peace and prosperity.
AS | desire my old friends in Fitch
burg to understand the reasons for my
course ir Kansas, you can hand this
to friend Piper, ifyou think proper,
for publication. | intended to have
written him some time since upon his
structures on the policy o! voting.
Yours, respectfully,
