From Washington.

We learn from late Washington
letter writer's that in the Senate mat
ters look more favorable than they
did a short time since. Under any
and all circumstances the vote cannot
DO had In that body on Lecompton
for two months. 1t will bc remem-
bered that when Douglas was whip
ping up his party with all his Sups-
rior powers to obtain the vote ON the
repeal of the Missouri Compromiso,
that the meagre minority Of thirteen,
headed by Senators Chase and Sum
ner, kept the vote off for sixty days,
during whicE TIME the country was
reused, and all that could be done
through the pulpit, through the press,
through mass meetings, through leg
islative resolutions, through memo
rials to Congress, was done, and with
great effect. The same course will
be pursued now. Douglas will lead
the van. Parliamentary tactics will
be exhausted, every opposition Sena-
tor will have spoken from tho depths
OF his heart the country will have
been flooded with speeches, and
aroused thoroughly before vote can
be had on this measure in the Senate,
and Senator Douglas declares the vote
cannot be had before the first Of July,
All agree that it can't be done in less
than sixty days.
AT the same time, not o day will
pass in the Senate without the case ol
the squatterS in the Indiana senatorial
seats being brought up, and a yea
and nay vote had upon their right o.
occupancy. Neither will day pass
except the Minnesota bill will BE-
brought up, and voted upon in some
form, SO as to show the country to
what depths of degradation the Ad'
ministration will descend to, to keeI
two men in the Senate whom all &C
knowledge have no right there, ant
to keep two mon out of the Senate
whom all aerso should be there, bu
all Of which is done to carry through
the Lccompton iniquity.

See What Desperate Condition the
Tool is In.

We copy the following from the
last number Of the Oligarchial Viadi.
Gator, for the purpose Of showing our
readers to what mendacious measures
the iorden-washer of the 0ligarchy
is compelled to resort, to sustain him
self and "holy cause" II is are
frsshing bit of news to our Prairie
City readers:
at is said that tho editor Of the
baby sheet, published in the large
city eight miles east of this place
has recently made speech to the Of
feet that if he had advocated and de.
Tended the 'Minneola swindle,' he
would have received four hundred
dollars for his serviccs;' but that he
had opposed it, and by so doing had
lost his friends and pocketed mary
red 'Ol what shall | do boo.
hoo-hooP Truly, our contemporary
is man Of sorrow, and acquainted
with grief; and having sold himself
to the two pill-peddlers and Their
clique, and failing to get the sinners,
he is in e-begone position. Gel
up subscription paper. and we will
pledge the hamlet contiguous to the
capital for as much as the large
city raised to secure the route for the
Pacific railroad, viz, fifteen dollars,
for the benefit OF the honest editor
who gives the Minneola swindle'
particular fits.'" o'"."
Now the beauty ofthe above elegant
extract consists in the fact Of ito con-
tanning no less than five assertions
which are slightly at variance with the
truth; i.e., such as tho V;ndicatoy
man would pronounce Iies. In the
first place, we have never yet attempt
cd to make a speech on tho "Cor-
ruption' subject ; ID, We have new
or said, either publicly or privately,
that we would have received "four
hundred dollars il we had advocated
and defended the Minnoola swindlo;"
Sd, We have novor sold ourselves
"to two ill-peddlers and thei r
clique" 4th, There never was fifteen
dollars raised in Prairie City to ''se-
cure the Pacific Railroad route" nor
has there ever been any books opened
in this town for subscription for such
purpose, nor has there even ever boon
such u matter under contemplation.
The course that the 0ligsrohy's chief

Special Dispatches to the N.Y., Tribune.
WAsHINGToN, Feb. 28, 1858
Gen. Shields, United States soma
tor elsct from Minnesota, has expli-
city contradicted the statement that
he has agreed to support Lecompton,
He says he haswritten letter TO Col.
Richard G Murphy ofMinnesota, de-
nouncing the Lecompton fraud un-i
qualifedly, and declaring that no hon
est man can support it. He has au-
thorized the publication Of this letter,
and Its appearance is daily expsctsdr
THE Union raves at the defeat ofthe
army bill. 1t insultingly dsnounces
the black republicans and their neo-
types, who have been recently initia-
ted into their mysteries, viz: Messrs.,
Douglas, Stuart, and Broderick,
whom, it elegantly declares, pig to-
gether in the Sa me sty." 1t snubs
the democrats, Messrs. Pugh, Toombs,,
Benjami &C., who aided them. 1t
also reioices at the failure of the vol
unteer amendment, which it says,
sprung from the loving embraces Of
Douglas, Hale & Company,
The article is significant, because
by recent arrangement, the edito-
rial conduct of the Union has been Ia
ken from Major Harris, and placed in
the hands of Mr.. Appleton, assistant
secretary of state and factotum of the
President. The administration does
not want volunteers, but regulars,
with the official patronage which their
organization would furnish. 1t cal
culated on getting votes for Lecomp-
ton by means of the commissions Of
new regiments. ''@' W. % 4" -'' .
The anti -Lecomptonites are full Of
hope.-They claim gain Of two
members, and possibly of three. On
the other hand, the administration
claims three accessions.
Frank Marshall and the other Kan.
zas patriots ore indignant at Gen.
Calhoun's recent publication, and de-
nounce him for having surrendered
their rights. What makes the mat
ter worse, is that the commissioners
appointed by the Legislature, have
got possess on ofthc whole returns for.
state officers, which were buried in
the redoubtable McLean's candle box.
These developements will be ventila-
ted ifever the Free State Legislature
receives its certificates and the state
is admitted. Gen. Calhoun is still
here. o .,. ',..
The district appointments will 60
to the Senate tomorrow or Teusday ,
Rumor says that the backsliding
of several Pennsylvania democrats,
who voted in favor of Harris's reSo-
luton is founded on this fact.-They
are prepared to except Lecompton,
if condition be attached to the ad-,
mission of Kanzas, expressly author
izing the people to change their con-
stitut!on whenever they please. The
south demurs to this propositions but
is willing to make declaration IN
general terms, acknowledging the
principles asserted in the bill ofrights.
1t will make no further concession.
1t is believed that additional northern
votes can DO obtained on this condi-
ton. fpassed the south will oppose
Lecompton, on the ground that it is
a case Of congressional intervention.
Mr.. Keitt says that forty southern.
men will resist any compromise.

KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE

KEEP TT BEFORE THE PEOPLE
That every member Of the Terrific
rial Legislature, with the exception of
eight, together with few outsiders,
prominent members OF the Free State
party, formed themselves into an as
Sociation and purchased the town site
Of Ainaeola, which they have endeav-
ored to make the capital of Kanzas.
KEEP III BEFORE THE PEOPLE !
That the location cf this town is
over one hundred miles from the CEN
ire of the settled portion of the Ter
ritory, and is accessible only with
great Inconvenience by over three
fourths of the inhabitants.
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE !
That after the passage of tho act
making MinneOla the Capital, nearly
all of the subsequent enactments Of
the Legislature were to the effect OF
putting money into their own pockets,
regardless of infringements upon the
rights Of their constituents.
KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE |!
That tho Leavenworth and Fort
Gibson R. R. Company applied to the
Legislature for charter for their
road, but were refused one until Nin-
ne0la was made point in it, to the
great dissatisfaction, and to the det-
riment of the company of hundreds
Of thousands of dollars.
KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE |!
That anybody could succeed in Sc
curing the passage Of any bill, no
natter how grossly unjust, providing
ne was possessed OF sufficient means
to meet the demanded price for votes.
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE !
That enc man demanded fve Aun-
dred dollars for his vote on a certain
measure, and that tho amount was
paid him. l.
KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE !
That the Minneola Association is
Amost gigantic monopoly, and that
ifgold, intimidation, threats, prom
iseS of lucrative Offices, DC, are sue
eesSful elements, that body will con.
troll every important convention, and
every future Legislature for years to
come.
KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE !
That so long as this monopoly has
existence, it is as much to be feared
as the National Dem ocratic Admin
istration.
KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE |
That tho only means within our
grasptO destroy this dangerous mo-
nopoly is to prevent tho location Of
the Capital at Minneola.
