decidedly better than most of the dry bones
called Lives, and will be found interesting
by all who reverence the name Of Kane.
The author has aimed at portrait Of the
man, not a minute history Of his life, nor
review Of his achievements or writings, and
a portrait drawn, So to speak, by Kanc's own
hand, For this he gives the general story Of
his life without going very much into parti-
culars, and quotes much from Kancs own
letters and documents. He attempts to show
how the indomitable spirit, the ndcihtigable
love of knowledge, the uprightncss and
manliness Of his character, however developed
and expanded by circumstances in after life,
were yet plainly visible in him as boy
those noble qualities which urged on his
body, enfecbled by long and decp-seatcd dis
case, even beyond its strength, and brought
him to a grave, untimcly indeed, but how
glorious
As an appendix to the work, is given a full
account Of the honors paid to his remains,
with addresses delivered on the occasion-an
account much more minute than could have
been given by the papers at the time.

COMPROMISE.

Among the latest bits Of Washington in
tollgencc is the announcement, that "com-
promise" is to be offered by the Lccompton
party in Congress. Its essence is that Con-
gress shall admit Kansas under the Lccomp-
ton Constitution and shall at the same time
by an express declaration allow the people Of
the now State, every provision in that Con
stitution to the contrary notwithstanding, to
alter it Immediately.
Wc do not believe that the offer will he
accepted. But what sort of Constitution
is this, which makes necessary such propo.
sition? Why should man who wants
horse for use. buy an utterly worthless ami
NAL because he can get rid of him afterwards
with trouble enough? Why should man
introduce Il malignant disease into his iami-
IL. because there exists specific for its cure?
Why set fire to his house because he owns
fire nnnihilator? Why marry a vile woman,
because he can afterwards procure divorce ?
And why should the people of Kansas have
forced upon them, Constitution, which by
a vote Of seven or eight to one they have de-
clarcd they DO NOT WANT, because forsooth
they will with it have the permission to
change it entirely? Phe proposition carries
on its face the reasons why it should be re-
.cctcd,
Bat there is another point Of view to this
matter. When the Lecompton Constitution
is accepted, the rights of Slavery guaranteed
by it will be under the protection Of the SUI
rrcme Court of the United States. We all know
what that tribunal is, and can readily credit
the assertion of the Washington Republic that
informal assurances have been given to the
Democratic leaders, by the majority of the
Supreme Court, that decision will be given,
when wanted, protecting Shareholders in Kan
sas against any alteration of the Lecompton
Constitution, except at the times and under
the limitations expressed in that instrument.
