CO Mr.. Buchanan wrote . letter to Mr.:
English to help him procure nomination in
his district for re- election to Congress. Mr..
English read that letter, or what purported
to be that letter, to the nominating conven.
ton, and it had its effect. The editor of the
New York Tribune published what be said
was the substance Of the letter. The New
Albany Ledger pronouces the Tribune's doc
nment q forgery, and the Democratic papers
cry out against it ~ q forgery, but none of
the Democrats, though boldly and loudly de-
fed, dare undertake to prove the forgery BY
the publication Of the genuine letter. They
fully admit the existence Of that letter and
the fact Of its having been read by English,
but they have not the courage to produce it
and let the world see what it really is. They
know we'll that whether it does or does not
consist Of the precise words given in the
Tribune, il WAS such . letter as President
Of the United States could not, without ex-
posing himself to deep shame and Disgrace,
write to partizan in contest for Con-
gressional nomination.
We advise all the Democratic organs to
observe death.like silence upon the subject
of the alleged forgery until they are pre-
pared to let mankind see what it was that
their President actually wrote. II the gen.
uine letter were less infamous than the forge.
ry 80 called, it would have been Forthcoming
weeks and weeks ago. So, il the President
didn't write exactly what the Tribune publish.

The Plain English of tho Engiish
Bill.

1t will be remembered that by the terms Of
the Conference act, it is provided that in
case the people Of Kansas accept the propo-
sition submitted to them by the act, and
thus incidentally ratify the Lecompton Con.
stitution, Kansas is by the fact admitted into
the Union as a State with her present
population; but in the event Of their re-
lection Of tho English proposition, Kansas is
TO remain territory until she has the re-
quisite population TO entitle her to repre-
sentative in Congress. This constituted the
compromise. lfKansas was not to come in
under tho Lecompton Constitution as
Slave State, the South was to DO oompensa-
ted by keeping her out a. free State for an
indefinite number OF years.
Though tho Douglas Democrats united
with the Republicans to defeat that kind Of
compromise, they now rejoice in the sue
cess Of its supporters, and pledge themselves
to acquiesoe in and abide by the settlement
Of the question provided in the English COM
promise, which was that Kansas must DO Q
Slave State, or no State at oil.
Does the Democratic candidate FOR Con-
gress in this District acquiesce in that COM
promise, and joyfully endorse this final SET
Element Of the Slavery question:

Fatal Accident Picnic.

A correspondent of the Freeport Journal
gives the particulars of a sad accident that
occurred at picnic of the district school at
Lena on the 18th. He writes:
After dinner and the exercises which fol.
lowed it, the whole party, both grown peonle
and children, took general swing. They
had been engaged in this more than an hour,
when one Of the little girls went to Sleep
The swing was allowed to stop, and one of
the gentlemen was about to step forward to
take her off, when with sudden crash the
branch broke, and fell so suddenly that no
one could reach it before it struck the ground.
One little girl, daughter Of Robert Foreman,
was killed instantly. A little daughter Of
James Foreman had her leg broken, as did
little boy eight or nine years old, named
McGoon. Several others were slightly in
jured. At once the happy scene was changed
to one Of confusion. The shrieks Of the ia.
jured and cries OF the frightened strangely
contrasted with the happiness that reigned
but moment before. DR.. @. B. Wright was
on the ground Ut the time Of the accident and
did all in his power for the sufferers. DR.. j.
X. Chambers, though living nearly half a
mile from the place, was there within ten
minutes sitter the occurrence. All that was
possible was done for the poor children, and
much honor 10 due to those who were present,
especially the ladies, for their attentions to
the comfort OF those who were injured.

The proof OF the conspiracy to force
slave State Constitution upon Kansas is
unquestioned, and the proof that Douglas
was one Of the chief conspirators accumu-
lates day by day.
In speech delivered by Judge Kellogg, at
Havana, Illinois, the other day, he brought
forward the following clincher
He said that just before the adjournment
Of the last bogus Legislature in Kansas, that
body passed the act creating the Lecompton
Convention. This act was almost fac-sim-
lie Of the Toombs- Douglas bill which had
been forced through the Senate but blocka-
ded in the House. 1t contained no provision
for submission OF the Constitution to the
people, just as the Toombs- Douglas bill con
tanned none. Ii was presented to Governor
Geary for his approval. Gov. Geary sent
for the trainers OF the bill (see DR.. Gihon's
History Of the Geary ADMINISTRATOR and
told them they must put in clause guaran.
tecing a submission of the Constitution to
the people. They told him they could not
do SO, because the Lecompton bill was the
last hope Of slavery in Kansas. swell, then"
replied the Governor, 81 shall veto it." "Do
So" retorted the conspirators. "We will
pass it over your veto; and then look out for
yourself! Veto that bill, and you do it at
your peril" The bill was passed; the Gov
ernor vetoed it; it was passed over his head,
and then Geary was Obliged to Zee for his
life. "Now." asked Judge X, s'where is the
man whoever heard Stephen A Douglas con-
denim that bill? Did be not make speech
in Springfield shortly afterwards in which he
said 'the act creating the Convention 10 be-
ieved to be fair in oil its provisions.' /
| charge upon him knowledge and . part 10
the conspiracy, both before and after the
act.'
