TIE KANSAS QUESTION Nor SET
tiled. -"Occasional" the Washing
ton correspondent Of the Philadel.
phia Press, says:
"Governor Denver, although he
has grown exceedingly cautious since
his arrival in Washington, confirms
the rumor that the vote against Le-
compton, az it is presented in the
English bill, will he enormous on the
frat Monday in August. The Pres
ident is much harrassed at the pros
pect. know that he talks of little
else than Kansas, and also that the
Presidential aspirants, in'thc Cabin
ct and out Of it, who induced him to
change his position, and to desert
Governor Walker and Judge Dong
laa, have fallen greatly in his es-
tecm. 1t is no less clear that Gov
crnor Denver has always quietly
doubted the entire Kansas policy O:
the Administration, even while obey
ing the orders of his supcriors. -
What complicatcs this affair, at pres.
cnt, is the fact that the Washington
Union, some weeks ago. arroSantly
announced that, il the English pro-
position were voted down, Lccomp-
ton would still be alive, &c. The
rcbuke which the popular denuncia-
ton OF this bill will convey to all
who have had any hand in the de
sertion OF principle, cannot lail to be
productive Of healthy consequences
throughout the c"unry."
