We are now, for the first time in sew
eral years, able to quote with approval.
an article from the New York Express.
In the following, we concur heartily:
"The Federal Government cannot
inhict Constitution upon Kansas-but
If it thinks it can, it must try through
the processes of law, not through the
Federal troops-for if the Federal troops
are brought into action to enforce for
eign government upon the people of Kan
sas, the Federal troops will be resisted
Just as quick as any other troops. When
this is done, we Northern conservative
men, who have been preaching submits

the sake of peace, and because time would
correct all wrongs, shall then preach
"Resist," 4" Resist," RESIST" if nee

CoyGREss.--At latest dates, Congress
had IS YET done nothing on the Kansas
question, but it was supposed that the
matter would comefup IN a day or two.
An official copy of the LecomptOn Con-
stitution had becnreceived by the Presi-s
dent, and'it was said that he had a Mes
sage prepared. maintaining his former
ground, and insisting upon the admission
ofKansas with that Constitution. regard
less of the vote against it. on the 4th alt.
It was expected that he would send the
Constitution and Message to Congress, in
8 day or two-which would be about
the last day Of January.
Every day seems to change the opin-
ion as to how the question viii terminate.
One day. it is con6dentialy asserted that
the South has given up in despair-that
such and such Southern members have
come out against the swindle, anil great
many Northern Democrats are with
Douglas; and the next day, it is said that
the aspect has changed-that the opposi-
ton is backing down, and the President
is buying up the disafected. A few days
will show more clearly how the land lies.
But any one who knows aught of De-
mocracy, viii not be surprised to hear
that the opposition to the swindle has
completely caved in to the President and
forced it upon the people of Kansas. r.
'aItnow appears that Calhoun. by some
means or other, has elected the entire
Democratic State ticket, with majority
of the same sort in the Legislature. Also.
that he still holds the count open for al
ditional returns and amendments; and
that, If the Constitution comes IN, he

prospect of such result, is said to have
had great influence in changing the views
Of Democratic Congressman who had
opposed the swindle. This is pleasant
subject for the contemplation of those
who opposed the election of State ticket
With them we leave it, for the present.

which he witnessed in 1889, when the
General received the dispatches relative

years aferwards-as st. Glars defeat

PAT LAUGHLIx.-This is the name Of
notorious Ruffian, who took part in the
Kansas troubles, and murdered Free
State man. He at one time published
wonderful string of stuff, purporting to
be an exposition of a secret society of
Free State men, bound together to do
certain terrible things. Latterly he has
been keeping a doggery at Doniphan.
A few days since, the citizens of that
place collected together, entered his es-
tablishment, carried the contents into the
street, and burnt them. This was a wrong
move-they should have burnt LaughlIn,
instead Of his property. Every man who
has committed murder during the Kansas
troubles, should be put out of his misery;
and the signs of the times indicate that
this wo4k has commenced. All peace
able men, of any party whatever, should
be unmolested and treated respectfully.
Many joined in the war, who did not
commit any very wicked act; and many
who did SO, are now heartily ashamed of
it. But any one who committed murder,
or aided or abetted it, deserves no mercy.

that enough votes can be procured
