E3-Hon. T. L. Anderson made speech
in Congress, few days since, in favor of
admitting Kansas under the Lecompton
Constitution. Mr. A. is an American, as
he sets forth in his speech, but considers
it his duty TO support the administration on
this subject. 1t seems to be understood that
the entire delegation from this State-aways
excepting Mr.. Blair, of St. Louis-are in
favor Of admitting Kansas under the Le-
compton Constitution. We understand the
the member from this District is prepared
to make speech on that question, and is

THE LEcoMproN CONVENTION.

The Constitutional Convention, which
had adjourned over until after the October
election, met again IN Lecomp;on TO resume
Its labUrs. Many Of the members OF that
body were bitterly hostile TO the Governor
and Secretary, on account Of their rejection
of the Oxford and MCGEE frauds, in which
some of the members and officers OF the
Convention had n direct participation. In
fact, this body, with some honorable excep-
tons, well represented the minority party
in the Territory, and were well imbued
with the same spirit and designs. 1t was
obviously not their desire 10 secure TO the
real people of Kansas the control Of their
own affairs. In the Constitution soon al
forwards adopted they endeavored TO super
cede the Legislature which had been cleo
ted by the people, by providing, in the Sec
ond section of the schedule, that "all laws
now Of force in the Territory shall continue
10 be of force until altered, amended or re-
pealed by Legislature under the provis-
| ions of this Constitution"
THE BASE FRAUDS THEY coScocTED.
They provided still more eflectually, as
they supposed, for the preparation of their
minority government, by adopting ih Ok
ford fraud as the basis Of their npportion-
nent, giving great preponderance of rep
resenta,ion to ME counties on the Missouri
border, and atfordirg at the same time eve.
nv possible facility Tor the introduction oil
spurious votes. The President was cloth
ed with unlimited power in conducting the
cletons and receiving the returns, while
the officers are not required 10 take the u
sual oath to secure fair and honest dealing.
The elections were hurried on in midwin-
ter the 2lst of December and the 4th Of
January-wher emIgrants could come only
from the immediate borders, under the quail
| ification which invited to The ballot-boX
every white male inhabtant in the Terrific
ny on that day. The same men who did
( this had previously denounced Governor
Walker for the suggestion, in his inaugural
address, and in his Topeka speech, that the
Constitution should be submitted to all the
bona .fde inhabitants, although he invariably
stated, when asked for explanation, that
some reasonable length of residence ought
to be required as evidence of the bona fdt
character Of inhabtancy.
1t was apparent that all the machinery
had been artiully prepared for q repetition
OF the gross frauds similar TO those which
had been attempted in October; and it was
i'll view of all these facts, after the adjourn
ment Of the Convention, that the people Of
the Territory, by an almost unanimous de-
mand, called upon me, as the acting Gov.
ernor, to convene an extra session Of the
Legislature, in order 10 enable them peace
ably to protect themselves against the
wrongs evidently contemplated by the a.
doption of this Constitution. There wa!
no law 10 punish frauds in election returns
The people were intensely excited; and i
was the opinion of the coolest men in th'
Territory that without a call Of the Legis
lature, the elections under the Constitution
could not have taken place without collision
and bloodshed.

NONE BUT DISHONEST DEMOCRATS DENY
THESE FRAUDS.

THESE FRAUDS.
Recent events have shown their appre-
tensions were well founded Enormous
frauds have been perpetrated at the pre-
cihts Of Oxford, Shawnee, and klckapoo;
and it may well be believed that this result
was actually designed by the artlul leaders
who devised the plan and framework of the
Lecomptun Constitution. | have lately
been at Shawnee. and have seen and con-
veised with persons who were at Oxford
on the day OF election. The frauds COM
mitted are notorious; and though dishonest
persons may deny them, and may fill the
channels Of public information with shame
less representations TO the contrary, they
can be easily established beyond all contro-
verSy.
WHY HE CALLED SPECIAL SESSION or THE
LEGISLATURE.
It was 10 enable the people TO shield
themselves from these frauds and 10 give
legal expression to their hatred and rejec-
ton OF the instrument which permitted
them and was TO be carried by them, that
called the Legislature together.
Not having been informed Of the grounds
of my removal know them only through
the Newspaper reports, TO the effect that
in calling the Legislature, dsobeyed the
instructions Of the President. | had no in
Structons bearing on the subject; and there
was no time TO obtain them, even if | had
| felt bound TO substitute the Presidents will
Tor that disci elton which the organic act
confded TO me. The converting of the
Legislature undoubtedly prevented Difficult.
ty and secured peace.
The measure for which / have been so
unjustly condemned has enabled the people
Of Kansas TO make their real will in regard
10 the Lecompton Constitution. This af-
fords the Democratic party all opportunity
TO defend the true principles OF constitu-
tional liberty, and to save itself from dvis-
ion and utter overthrow. Ii Congress will
heed the voice of the people and not force
upon them a government which they have
rejected by vote of four 10 one, the whole
country will be satisfied, and Kansas will
quietly settle her own affairs without the
least difficulty, and without any TO the
Coniederacy.
WHAT HE HAS SAVED THE SOUTHERN
STATES.
The Southern States, which are supposed
to have deep interest in the matter, will
be saved from the supreme folly Of standing
up in defence of so wicked and dishonest q
contrivance as the Lecompton Constitution
The moral power Of their position will moi
be weakened by a vain and useless defence
Of wrong, when it is perfectly certain they
will gain nothing even by success in the
present attempt.
The extra session Of the Kansas Legis.
lature has done good also, by giving meant
10 expose and punish the monstrous fraud,
(which have been Perpstratsd, and doubt

MONEY A DRUG.

Colonel Benton is said to have made the remark,
few days ago, that he had no doubt that by May,
money woul be so abundant as to be a drug in the
market The New York Journal Of Commerce, as
also the Herald seems to be of the same opinion.
The former paper says that money in that city was,
on Friday last freely offered at four to seven per
cent on call, and six to eight on choice business
paper. The Herald on the same subject remarks
s'Our banking institutions will not make so much
money for some years 10 come as for some years
past and their dividends will, without doubt, rule
at lower rates The probability now is that money
will become very cheap and very plenty The out
side ratesare likely to rule considerably below the
legal standard, and the banks will find it difficult
to actively employ their funds at an interest high
enough to enable them to pay more than three per
cent semi-annual dividends on their capital. II
will take years to bring about another such imitation
in credits or such ravenous Get Of customers for
money, at the most exhorbitant rates Of interest,
as our banks found in the sWarms Of railroad COM
panies up to the financial collapse Ths banks will
be compelled to confue their discounts to the
regular mercantile classes than heretofore. In the
absence Of a demand from that source sufficient to
give full and active mplOyment to their OvergroWn
capitals, we shall find the presidents and cashiers
in the street buying up stock securities and seeking
for loans, where the doubtful character Of the Sc
curity hypothecated will enable them to get more
than the standard rate in the market State stocks
rule at low points, considering the present and pro
spective value of money There is not State stock
in the market but that is Of the most undoubted
curity. The fact that they range from eighty to
one hundred per cent. shows that no one questions
the safety of the investment. We have hardly yet
begun to feel the effects Of Over-suppy OfmOney.
The pressure to make loans has not Yet been very
great but few months will, beyonda doubt give US
such plethora of money in this market that CAPT
talists will be glad to purchase any unquestiOnabe
six per cent security par, either for temporary
or q permanent investment"

TIE ACQUISITION OF CUBA.

In the Q. S. Senate on Monday q memorial was

citizens Of Appleton, Wisconsin in favor Of the
acuu sition of Cuba. It is signed by ninety-seven
persons. The following is q copy of the document:
'sTo the Senate and House ofRepresentatives Of the
United States, in Congress assmebled.
The undersigned, citizens Of Appleton, Wisconsin,
respectfully ask your honorable body to take the
necessary steps to purchase the Island Of Cuba and
to annex the same to the United States.
lst-Because no foreign power Of q manarchicsl
spirit or tendency has any right to foothold on
this continent,
2d-Because Cuba is the key of the Galfof Mexico,
and therefore it should be in possession of the
American government
3d-Because of right the whole continent should
be brought into Union just so soon as the same
people.
4th--Because the first law Of nature is selfpreser-
walton and therefore
In case Spain utter refuses to sell her interest at
fair valuation, and continues to be the tool Of
Fr Snce and England alternately andlonger tOlerates
the African slave trade with all its attendant horrors
and makes the possession Of that island essential TO
our peace and domestic tranquility, to the safety
and security of our commerce, and the permanency
of our national Union, we ask your honorable body
to adopt the necessary steps TO take possession Of
Cuba or to authorize US, "our heirs, executors,
adm Illustrators or assigns to do II in your behalf
and TO allow Spain fair per centage over and above
her saetuaI expenditures by her made upon said
island.
