would have been decided; as it is the struggle is
to be renewed to-day, and tae issue Is doubtful
The SENATE after rejecting several anne ldmentS,
passed the Deficiency bill, by vote Of f25 to -.

Whether the pea Submission really is Or il not
under tie Erglsh t5imbe, is tbe rIln topic Of
tie hour The f,rty OF fifty journals whose art
| cles thefeupon We have read seem TO be about
equally divided ca the point as were our teegraphic
6ispatcle. from Washington while The contiyancs
was beire iucuboted. Our own fcal impression,
from careful perusal Of the bill itsef is, that the
Lecompton fraud is virtually tubmitied though in

Now it is true that the Lecomptoa Constitution
i. not hare subn tied to The people Of Kan.as for
ratification reec .iop while ssid Constitution Is
tlseW mere recognized as republican in character
81 d ff8m,d by Correction of the said People; yet
We think tie above affords than m opportunity so
to vote that Lecomp,On must be Tecogazed by
CoDg,ess os not the Constitution of Kansas True,
the submission is made blind and vicious as pos
4itc bat thee is don't though most reluctant
approach ty tie Buchanan wirl-1OIkers toward
,be true mcce Of settling tbe question.
We appeal then, TO those leaders to say
whether, If tley haze really concluded to let the
People Of Kansas de,ignate aud adopt COn.titu-
ton for Themselves, it is vice or well to protrect
this wearisome snl (tO them, at least uDproh'a-
bic con,rOver.y What is to be gained by remand
ing Kansas for an indefinite period INTO position
Of Territorial dependence and impotence You
say that she has population enough, and every
requisite for State if she will only swallow the
LecOmpton imposture; why, then, has she not in
case she prefers Free Constitution Why vote
that ehe shall come in Immediately if she Will
acquiesce in the LecOmptoD, but not til some
future year in the other case? Gentlemen
YOU will not make her Slave State by this most
inydious aud unjust discrimination: what then,
,r,li ou make by it Do no. fail 20 consider this
question.
Then Of to the Land. Grant: IIow foolish is The
pratte that Mr. Euslish's bill gives Kansas no
"more land than Mr.. CIitteUdens does" The
vital motter is that Mr. E"gIish's bill gir,s il On'y
in case size rW accept the LecomptOn Constitution,
While the Cl,teni en.M n somery proposition clear
| " ccI templates sn immediate application sud al
mission Of Kansas under Constitution OF her OWE
choice il case she cbooies not to have The Lecomp
| ten as every one Knows she viii. Why quibbe on
matter SO liam as this
Then as 10 the election to be he'd ia Kansas
ulter one of these b;s-we all realize that posi-
tive assurance Of fairness in the prehminaries, in
the voting, and IN the canvass is the one thing need
Gul in Kansas Election. This the CIttsnden.
| Mont; emery bill proilers BY confdiDg all these
matters implicitly to the four highest Cfhcers in
| Kansas-tao of them appointed by the President
al the others elected by the People. 1t certainly
is OF unrea:onable after their s.d experience, that
the people Of Kansas should have voice il select
| ing one. half of this important Board; yet Mr..
Epeli.hs bill denies them this guaranty by Ing
| to the Bos1d a tLisd appointee of the President

that would, if respected, have disfranchised more
Than hat the rec Slatc party -Ai' As""'' 10 "
bitter unscrupulous untiring Slavery partisan
and the last man after Calhoun TO whom the People
If Ksnsa would assign control over their cleo
tons.
Tie last and weigbtiest objection to the English
,chene is, that if leaves everything unsettled and
leeps the country in bot water about Kansas for
years further when every body is sck of this strife
aid anxious to see the last fit If Mr.. EDgllshs
bill should pass Congress, its proposition will be
voted Gown in Karsas, unless Pro-Slayey votes
te shoyeed in, or counted out after the Oxford and
hickspoo fashion, and if Lecompton should be
iDdorsed by that sort of voting or counting, the
People will never submit to it, and the result Will
be more furious and dangerous excitement than
ever-not in Kansas only but throughout the
Union. If Anything like fair vote and count be
allowed, "the proposition" will be rejected. and
everything set ahoat again for years ahead. This
Congress will not see the end Of it; and the ad
mission Of Kansas will come before the next, on
the eve of another Presidential Election. Can it
