The uufrir submission of the Lccomp-
ton constitution ~iinot shieldit:; the people will
strike through the ordinance to bury the lance
of their just Indignation deep in the heart Of the
Swindle aud thus struck down, it will be tram
pied into the very earth, whilst its memory, like
the ghost OF Dan9uO, will torment the party
which countenanCed its creation and cherished
its transient being.
from the Lawrence Republican,
As we go To press, we learn that the Lecomp-
ton bill ms reported by English from the com
mittce of conference, has passed both branches
! Of CongrcSS-in the House by nine MINORITY.
Lecompton is, therefore, passed provided the
people of Kansas vote to accept profit red land
| grant otherwise we remaia Ia territorial con.
dition until we have $4,000 Inhabitants.
OF course we will remain territory
IFrom the LeavrnwOrth TlmeS.l
Our duty. as it appears to us, is plain though
| it be painful. With that devotion and magma
nitnitv. characteristic of the Free State party,
we should drop ull thought Of existing State
Governments; go, like man, into The cleo
lion under the English bill, vote the land bride,
with its Lecomptpn NpPemdage, into eternity,
and then urge forward emigration that be-
fore another year rolls around, we may count
ponu'ntiun guaranteeing our admission into the
confederation even umder the high handed terms
Of the English bill.

| It now remains for the people of this Terri
tory to decide whether they will accept the
bride offered to them by Congress, reject it.
and with il that budget of villianieS, the Le-
compton constitution. We have too much COLI
fidence in the integrity Of the people of Kansas
to believe that they will accept any such prnpO-
sition. We believe that they would rather re-
main Territory eternnlly, than TO come into
the Union under such insulting and degrading
conditions. What he bought up like a flock
Of Speep?-Sacriice our principles, for the iTi-
umph of which we have been earnestly con-

with such an idea. 1t is n libel alike on the
good sense and patriotism Of our peoplc-a

are assured, nay, we are confident, that the
people will administer such a rebuke to Mr..
Buchanan aud his satellites will r,nke them

Having found that threats alone were INSULT
cieut to curb abe people of Kansas, our enemies
have Joined threat and brihe, and hope by this
means to succeed in their nefarious purposes.
we would INFORM the administration ana us
miniOns, that the government does not own
land enough to buy up the people Of Kansas
The originatorS and abettors of the movement
are hoastiug that the inhabitants Of this Terrific
ry would barter their hopes in this life and the
next for grab at Uncle Sam domain. What
pitable nriStake We would rather COnsign
ourselves TO eternal poverty, than he the instru-
ments of our own degradation. Who that min
giles with the people, hears their opinions and
observes the spirit in which they are expressed,
| can doubt as to what will be the result of that
election? Our enemies may consider us fools
| box. and We will return The compliment.
