Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1858-08-27

The Washington UalOn, with that Jesuitical
sophistrY which isa prominent characteristic, is
endeavoring to convey the impression, in view of
the overwhelming rejection of the Lecompton
constitution, that such rejection indicates the de-
sire Of the people of Kanzas to remain under
territorial government. And, as if conscious of
the want of foundation for such an inference, the
administration organ enters into an elaborate
Ruueni to show that it is for the Interest Of the
people Of Kanzas to remain as they are, and not
be in hurry to take upon themselves the re-
sponsibility of State government. The Union
says;
at is certainly sign Of returning sense to be
able to overlook the temptations TO become
State, which so apt to influence the people of
a new country in spite Of the manifest disadsan
tages thereof In practical economical
view would the people Of Kanzas be justified in
pressing their claims to admission. Under
territorial laws the federal government fur
nsh nearly all the means necessary to conduct
their political affairs. The settlements are scat
tered over an extensive area, production is lin
tied, labor high and markets difficult Of access.
These disadvantages will soon vanish before the
labor of the emgrant, but they always most
formidable in the settlement of new country"
Here is a substantial admission of the charge
that the English bill was offered as bfibe to
tempt the people of Kanzas to cast aside for the
moment their long settled convictions and prin-
cples on matters OF right, under the indueement
Of pecuniary gain secured BY the terms Of that
bill, in accepting it. But the indomitable yeo-
many of that territory to their infinite praise be
it spoken, rose above all matters of material
nature, and ''spurned the btibe. And when
they shall soon knock at the doors Of Congress
g.
of their own making, and ratified by free and
untrammeled ballot, woe be to those, whether at
Washington or elsewhere, who shall presume to
oppose such admission, on the ground of lille
gality,' or "irreguarity," in form.
Col. Forney, of the Philadelphia Press pre-
diets that if the administration makes the exclu-
sion Of Ksnzas from the Union. under free
State constitution, issue, according to the
declaration of the Union, it will ensure its own
overthrow. He says;
"When the people of Kanzas peaceably and
honestly form another constitution, and have it
ratified at the polls, and ask admission into the
Union under it. woe to the men who, by blind
adherence to the English fnalty, may endeav-
or, after attempting TO drag Kanzas into the
Union as slave State, with constitution OBJ
noxious to her people, TO add to their injustice
by voting against her admission a free State,
under a constitution ratified and approved by
her people They will be doubly condemned by
their outraged constituents, and fall from the high
station they have disgraced, like Lucifer, never
to hope again."
Hon. w. W. Boyce Of South Carolina under
stands we'll enough why it is that Kanzas has
rejected the English proposition, and he bodily
meets the emergency. In recent speech he
says:
sKanzas has voted upon this land proposition,
and refuses to accept the terms offered, and
therefore remains out of the Union. This con-
clusively establishes the fact that Kanzas is ultra
Gnts slavery. This being the case, the best thing
for US is for her to stay out of the Union Her
comiug in would only give an accession of
strength to our enemies. II she should stay out
forever, all the better
