ington correspondent of the Chicago Tri-
bune, under date Of March "a, gives i'm
portant political intelligence:
Prominent Republican papers continue
to bawl that Lecompton is killed; it is
dead. 1t certainly is in a bad way. twill
be taken up on the first Of April, All Fool $
day. No man can speak positively as to
the result. Retaining all the votes we had
six weeks ago, and counting the five South
Americans who have since come over to
us, we have 100 votes. But it is not safe
to assume this. Major Harris. of Illinois,
is very low with hemorrhage of the lungs.
He was unable to continue the last skirmish
in the House to the end, and was compelled
to devolve the management upon MIR. En-
glish. 1t is hoped that Major Harris will
be present to vote, but it is not certain
Grave doubts exist whether English and
Foley, of Indiana. will not bolt. if the Re-
publcans seek safety in the Crittendcn a
mendments. Fears are also felt that two
Pennsylvanians will follow them. A
change of four would place us in the minor
/ ity.
/ The six South Americans pledged to OPP
pose Lecomptonisln in its naked deform-
ity. do so upon condition that we compro-
mise on Crittenden's amendment. Mr.
Giddings and a few other Republicans dc
not yet consent to that, for two reasons,
first it may place us in the power of the
Ruffians who are about invading the Ter
ritory in the pay of the Administration as
contractors, camp followers and pro-slave-
ry militia, and secondly, the Administra-
] ton may refuse to regard the condition oil
submitting the Lecompton Constitution to
vote as binding at all. and may proclaim
Kansas under that fraudulent government,
State without any further act.
1t is sufficient for the present to say that
each side reckons upon small majority.
The reported dismissal of dozen more
Douglas officc-holders in Illinois is false
alarm. Nothing has been done since the
execution of Price. The sword is hung in
terrorem over the heads of the rest

OFFICE OF NATIONAL Kansas Committed
CHICAGO, March 25, 1853.
To all STATE, County, and Town Kansas
Committees and Societies.
The consummation ofthe wrongs against
Kansas now threatened by the bill pending
in Congress. and which has just passed the
Senate to admit-no, to drag-her into
the Union, bound hand and foot, calls up
on us to arouse for another and greater
contest. The present state of the question
before the United States need not be set
forth by MS. You are all familiar with the
accumulated wrongs. outragcs and false
hoods to carry which to their final consum-
nation the whole power of the Federal
Executive is now exerting itself through
all the ramiications of corrupting patron
age and intimidation.
We have trusted that the clear establish
ment ofthe fact that majority of the people
of Kansas were in favor of freedom would
have settled the question and brought
quiet to that distracted Territory. But
that hope has proved fallacious, and we
now feel pressed to the necessity of rcsum-
ing energetic action and urging upon
all lovers of freedom to do the same.
We request all State. County and Town
Kansas Committees and Societies to meet
Immediately on the passage ofthe Lecon.pton
Constitution by Congress; and where necess-
airy. to reorganize and put themselves in
communication with the National Com
mittee. Where such Committees do not
exist. we urge their formation.
In the event of the passage Of the Le-
compton Constitution, we propose to call
a NATIONAL CONVENTION to meet at Buffalo
or other suitable point.

The Cleveland Herald talks thus scnsi-
bly, upon the duty of supporting homo pa
pers: "Rccollcct, il home weekly paper

it. Every dollar sent to Eastern papers is
at the expense of the local papers. A couh-
ty acquires prominence through its paper
more than in any other way, and to every

home paper is a necessity. Never will
such man take paper printed away from
home until he is able to take second pa
per. His first paper will be his home sheet.
and he will so identify his own interest with
that of his county paper AZ to consider his
