The VorE OF DuDUQUE CoUNrY.-It will bo
seen, says the Times, that Judge Lovell's major
ity for Superintendent Of Schools is 963. This
is the 6rst time in our recollection that Du-
buque county has given her vote for any one

opposition to the Democratic nominee, by near
ly one thousand majority. Judge Lowell was
nominated only three days before the election.
He was away from home at the time, and knew
nothing Of his nomination until the day before
the election. Had he been in the 6eld one
week his majority would have been ! 500.
His competitor canvAssed the county through
out, and labored hard for his election. Judge

Special Dispatch 70 the N. Y. Tribune.

Washington, April ., 1858.
The plan of the Lecomptonites as disclosed
to. day, is to take up the Kansas bill in the Sem
ate ON Monday, at one o'clock, to vote TO in
sist and demand a conference. Then to take
the bill Immediately to the House and put it
through if they can.
The Administration Is using its power 10 the
full extent to insure success in this fnal strug-
gle. Promises TO Embassies and other Offices Of
fat contracts and Of Southern votes for favorite
measures before Congress-, are freely made to
members supposed 70 be wavering.

resign If Lecompton fails, which ten 10 to cool

After the first defeat Of Lecompton, q week
ago, the President wrote to Gov. Wise a very
long letter, deploring the evil which this Lee
compton business had brought upon the Ad-
ministration, asking Gov. Wise for advice, and
beseeching him to help save the Adminstra-
tion and the Democratic party, telling him at
the same time, that the Union was not Mr.. Blu.
chanan's organ, and that he had not approved
its proscriptive and vituperatve course. The
Richmond Enquirer Immediately came ous
against tue course pursued by the Union.

From the n: Y. vening Post
Right ON the Record.

We are happy to see disposition on the part
of the Administration presses to make the best
Of the Crittenden amendment. and we hope every
Buchanier in the country will vote with the Re.
publicans for it, if they conscientously can. In.
deed, il it will reconcile any of them to such q
step to impute wan. Of consistency to the Re
publicans in giving it their support, we beg them
to indulge themselves without restraint. Nay,
we will 20 farther; We will admit, IL they can ex-
tract any comfort from the admission, that we
wonld have preferred distinct and unqualified
rejection OF the Lecompton bill; we will admit
anything, indeed, excep; that the Republicans
erred in voting for the amendment And here
we will mention incidentally fact which will
satisfy the Republicans OF the country with the
course Of their representatives in Congress, tho
it may, on that account, fail to give peace OF
mind to their adversaries.
1t will be remembered that at the very opens
ing OF Thursdays struggle, when the question
came up on reading the Senate bill for the ad-
mission of Kansas a second time, and before the
Crittenden Montgomery amendment was propos-
ed, Mr.. Giddings. called the attention of the
House tothe nth Rule, moved that "the bill be
rejected, !" thus enabling every Republican 10 re-
cord his vote against Lecompton "pure and SIM
pie" Though strictly in order, this motion is
rarely made. But it keeps the record clear.
Every Republican in the House, together. with
Harris, Of Illinois, Chapman and Hickman, Of
Pennsy ylvarfia, Douglas Democrats, voted that
the bill be rejected, thus recording their votes
against the Lecompton Constitution.
