with miraculous and well-oiled tongues,
could not efface the fact that here are
heavy bribes offered, and menaces held
out, 10 harrassed, struggling, impoYer-
ished community, designed to impel the m
accept Slave Constitution on the plea
that they can change it at pleasure
Here are solid, palpable, immediate prof
fered to tempt them to this course, with
corresponding penalties to be incurred by
standing out. If they reject Leeompton
by rejecting the modified Land-Grant,
they get no Lands at present, no provis-
ions for Railroads. no five per cent, Oh
the Proceeds of the Lands about to be
sold; and they are thrust back into Ter
ritorial vassalage for an Indefinite period
with Denver for their Governor, Lecompte
and Cato for their judges, and Buchan,
an for their Grand Seignor.
Thcs are long odds; but the People Of
Kansas are too strong for them. They
will spurn the bribe; they will hold fast
their integrity; they will remain Terri
tory under many Disadvantages rather
than drop into the Union slavebolding
State. Two or three thousand Of them
may perhaps, 60 in for Lccompton, wealth

vote to Five Tbousand; but this will not
reduce the Free State vote below Ten
Thousand. A full poll is the only requi-
site; the popular wearincss of election af-
ter election which settles nothing, accom-
plishes nothing, is the only danger.
The Federal Administration has most
uuwisely decreed that Kansas shall be a
watchword 10 our Nationul struggles
The Crittenden- Mont somery bill would
have obsiated this; Congress would glad
ly have passed that bill; but the Exeeu-
tive was implacsblc. BY Cabinet iufu,

sas feud has been kept open; there will
be no more cessation till Kansas is fully

State that all know her rigbtfully to be-
We give her opprcssors fair notice that
the unjust disabilities imposed on her by
the English bill are utterly secuted BY
earnest Free State men; that the popula-
tion which is confessedIy large enough
for Slave State will be held suficie Mt
for Free State; that if the foolish, use
less, culpable constitution of an Election
Board consisting of three Federal officers
to two elected by her people shall be
made cloak for foul voting or false re-
turns, those votes, those returns, will be
rendered Of no avail; and that,by large
majority of the People, all other issues
will be postponed or subordiuated until
Kansas shall have been fully delivered
from her oppressors and added to the

been elected, be appointed to any civil
office under the Commonwealth, which

Frightful Railroad Accident.

A frightful accident occurred, on Tues
day morning.last, on the Central Railroad
by the crushing of bridge over the Sau
quoit Greek, some 81 miles westoi Utica,
near Whitesboro. Two trains, running
upon different tracks, one of them at full
speed, met upon the bridge over the Sau-
QUOT Greek, near Whitesboro The
bridge gave way after the engines had
crossed, and the freight and passenger
ears were precipitated into the creek and
piled one upon the other. Eight or
ten persons were killed and between forty
and fifty more or less seriously injured.
Whether the accident was wholly owing
to the rottenntss of the bridge, or par
tally to the breaking of an axle on one
of the cars is not certain. The matter
should receive thorough legal investiga-
ton.
