NUMBER 20.
The Iniduity COnSummated.


The following is the report Of debates
which preceded the vote
In the Senate, after speeches from
Brodcrick, Doolittle and Pugh,
= Senator Seward took the floor. He
objected to the conference report, be-
cause it presented false issue to the
5 people. The true question at issue is
the submission of the Constitution di-
rect to the people. The question of
public lands has nothing to do with it,
in as much as lands are the dowGry of
all new States. The land question
therefore does not occupy one line OF
the 1900 quarto pages of the Kansas
debate. 1t, therefore, is a ieigncd is
sue. Besides the question of members
is equally new, dating only from the
conference, viz: that Kansas has pop
ulation enough for slave State, and
just half enough for a free State
Further he objected to the bill be-
cause it bears cquivocation on its
face. 1t purports to be submission
OF her dowry, but it submits the Le-
compton Constitution, and it is SO re-
gardcd by Democratic presses. This
lndircctlOn and equivOcatiun are now
on the bill, and double cntenders i'll
Legislation are an immortality. More
over if you make slave barrier
across this latitude of 46 you inter
pose a barrier to progress more insur-
mountablc than the Rocky Mountains
or the Sierra Nevada. 1t amuesd him
when he heard patriotic men talk Of
@ removing the capital. If you confine
f slavery within its Legitimate limits,
the capital Of the nation may remain
and be the capital Of an empire that
may grasp the pole and the equator
No such destiny awaits it if you sepa-
| rate by a slave barrier the Atlantic
Y free States from the Pacific free
G States; further, this bill is nothing but
h LccomptOn-with variation. You
o toss a coin and bid Kansas cry Eagle
c or Liberty: if she cries Eagle, you
: give her slavery if the efligy Liber-
n ty, you give her slavery still. What

ed home. What answer will they give
n to this proposal which leaves only the
of semblancc, and not the choice, of lib
lc crty. 4 friend here asks what will
IN the people Of Indiana say? He could
O. himself answer, because the blood Of
" the men who hazarded their lives
e. and means for his liberty, flows
n through his veins. He knows the blue
as hills Of New Jersey, and will answer
of that the votes given for Lecomptou
" will be the last slave votes given for
m the next ten years. Addressing him
ur self to the election board, he said
ut ghosts in the StyX are not more thick
at and cloudy than are the spirits of the
rh departed Governors Of Kansas who
r. attempted to give correct returns.
nd He had no confidence in the prcsi-
ne dent as an element Of that board. He
nd had expected that some would cry
We shame, that he had DETAINED the Pres
Ms idcnt, but he considered that once
men in Virginia cried shame on Pat
,se rick Henry men were not wanting in
to power 10 cry shame on Cato, and they
". were no friends Of liberty who in Sen,
it. ates fear to oppose Kings and Prcsi
ms dents. He went on to speak of the bill
ed under its aspect Of compromise, say
,ut ing it offered very little freedom and
i'll. a great deal of slavery.
