SO from an honest conviction of the palpabie
turpitudc OF the whole movement in and out
of Congress-thousands Of Democrats in eve
ry State in the Union are now doing precise
ly the same thing. At this very moment,
while Democratic Congressman are cndeavor-
ing to force Kansas into the Union with a
Constitution that is held in utter detestation
| by nine tenths Of her citizeus, Committee
of the Kansas Legislature arc at the same
time investigating the gross frauds perpetra-
ted by the Lecomptonites in making false
election returns and introducing fraudulent
voters at late elections. an account of whie h
will be found on our first page.
The whole history OF this Kansas business
from tho time of tho foundation of that
beautiful thing called the Leeompton Con.
stitution to the time Of its presentation to
Congress, and subsequently, is one of rascal
ity, trickery and treachery. Even after Con-
gress had voted to refer the Presidents Kan

TO q special Committee, with power to sent
for persons and papers. the committee tc

Speaker Orr gave the Lecomptonites ma
jorty of one in the organization of that com
mittce. The beauty of this movement oil
the part Of Speaker Orr. may be judged at
glance. The Committee, by vote of cigh
to seven, refused to make tho investigation
which the House instructed them TO make,
positive demonstration of the violation o
the elearest principles of parliamentary law
. Such pltitnl lodging. to the 'unsophisticate'
people, looks very much like shrinking from
!. Investigation. Yet it is perfectly character
istic of the trickery and fraud which ha
been practised. both in Kansas and Wash
