Mark the Men who Do 1t,

1t has been the object Of all the politica
manoeuvres of the South, to fill the Terri
tories with negroes, to the exclusion oil
white men, but English's bill reported from
the Committe on Conference, Is the first au-
lucrative cnunciation of the fac. that any
number of men, preferring to live in com
partnership with Human Slavery, is equal to
twice that number who desire to propagate
and sustain Freedom. That bill, as our
readers will recollect, provides that Kansas,
now containing population OF 10000 souls,
may come into the Union as Slave State
under the Lecompton Constitution, if she
desires so to do; but, that, if the PROPOSE
ton of Congress is not accepted, and she
expresses preference for white men and
white labor, she must wait until her census
entities her to one Representative, or, in
other words, until she has $4,000 people
within her limits! This is the pith and mar
row of Mr.. EnglIsh's dodge by which Doug
las is to be broken down, the Democratic
party harmonizcd, and the Union saved. 1t
exceeds in impudence and audacty any 9TH
er proposition for the humiliation Of the
North, that the South ever dev ised. twas
all the North could bear, when her soil was
converted into hunting ground, and her
people metamorphosed into hounds for the
capture of fugitive slaves. The breaking
down Of the Missouri Compromise and as
serton in the act that the North must be
treated like child or chattel personal, with
whom no contract, however sacred, is bind
ing, created n political revolution in all the
Free States. The decision of the Supreme
Court, already re-echoed by Democratic
politicians who occupy judicial stations in
the several States, rankles deep in the North
ern mind. But no act has ever stirred up
such circumstances as will arise, from Maine
to Oregon, against the consummaton of
the last swindle, by which the humiliation
of the North and ccnsure of her institutions
is written down in black and white-by
which &C, 900 men who own, are willing to
own, or justify others in owning, men, wo-
men and children, are invested with right:
apd privileges which are denied to double
The number of the freedom-ioving citizen,
of the North. Let US see who of the North
ern Senators and Representatives will vote
for this AMUSEMENT of their constituents
Enough will do so to make the bill law

them be marked and remembered. Slavery
has done much to corrupt the morals anC
debauch the politics Of the Free States; bu
they are not so abased that they will endors.
the maxim upon which the English measur,
is built-one man willing to live under ;
Pro- Slavery Constitution, is the equal il
this Government Of two who prefer Freedom
as the rule. Mark the men in Congress an,
at home who aid in stigmatizing the States
which gave them birth, and the Institutions
under which they live:-Chicaoo Tribune
What II Is.
As many Democrats, for the last few days
have been anxiously enquiring what the ex
act intent and meaning Of the Englist
amendment to the Kansas bill was, We copy
the following exultant lines from the Nortl
West this morning, which will tell what tina
paper thinks it is:
s'This is glory enough for one day! 1t is
triumph of patriotism over fanaticism. J.
is vindcation of the National! Democrat,
over fanatical sectionalism! 1t is a sub
sanitation of the principles q Popula,
Sovereignty! 1t is a death blow to Blacl
RepuSlcanism! 1t is an assurance of peace
to the country, and Of perpetuity to the I'm
ion 1t is the browning glory Of Buchanan.
Administration
1t is we'll enough to place this on record
1t will be we'll to remember that ga threat
and bribe' is vindication of the Nationa
Democracy; that the principle that twice
the number of inhabitants is required fol
the admission of a free State rs for a Slave
State, is substantiation Of popular sover.
eighty; and that the triumph Of the mos
glaring iniquity of modern times is the deatt
blow to Black Republicanism. We will re-
member that.-Dubuque Times.
