Mr.. English aud lhe English, BiKi

A friend has called our attention to the fol-
lowing paragraph which appeared in the Wash
ington States about the time Of our late cleo
ton.
"THE ENGLISH Built is stated that in
Indiana there is not one single Democrat fol
Congress that stands by that proyiso Of the bill
which declares that Kansas shall not be admit
ted into the Union until she has the requisite
population"
We also find an editorial in late number oI
! the Madison Courier in which it is asserted, in
reference to the English conference bill, that
| 'ithe putatiYe father of that measure repudated
its most important feature, and agreed to the
admission of Kansas as a free State with less
number of inhabitants than was specified in the
English contriyance."
Now, we con fess ourselves at a loss to know
on what authority these statements are made.
| We believe them to be without sufficient au-
! thority, and we know them them to be so, SO far
as Mr. English is concerned.
MIR. English stated in his speech at the court
house in this city, as we understood him, that
the restrictive clause in reference to population
was not in the orig ginal conference bill as drawn
up by him. but he consented to its insertion for
the sake Of a pcacoable adjustment, and because
he believed it to be correct as general rule and
therefore he should abide by it. In his speech

for admission she would have more than the

In u word, Mr. English stocd fairly and
squarely upon the Cincinnati platform and the
Kansas conference BILL and boldly advocated the
great Democratic doctrines of non-interYention
popular sovereignty, and State equality. He is
the last man to shilk any supposed responsible
ity, or minister to the spirit of action or polit
ical abolitionism. His triumphant reelection
is a complete vindic0ton and endorsement o
the man as an individual and representative
