spending the last three months in
Washington, returned home last week
and called at our office, while on his
way to Hyatt. From him we learn
that our friends in Congress unani-
mously deprecate the movement of
the boilers. end that they are satisfied
that it has enhanced the success of the
admission Of the bastard, materially.
Mr.. Army states that in the House
the bastard has majority of seven
in its favor, while in the Senate the
majority is even greater. Mr.. Army
has about despaired Of the success of
Mr.. DOUGLAS policy. He thinks
there can be no doubt that the bastard
will be admitted into the Union. He
had an interview with the President
while there, who told him that the

undoubtedly snarl and growl little
over such a result at first, but that
they would soon get roconciled to it
and bow submissively to its authority.

and palpable to be not readily dis
cerned by Congressman therefore
we should have still more urgent
reasons to resist by force the
attempt to saddle upon us govern
ment contrary 10 our will, They in.
sisted that il we ventured into that
election and failed of success by
means Of fraud, they would be the
first to take up arms against the Gov.
ernment in its attempts to play the
Etyrant. We ventured into this elec.

a nature more atrocious and damnable
than any ever before perpetrated by
these Old Satan's mundane agents
have been committed at this last cleo

nnder their pet production. and soor
the attempt will bo made by them
backed up by the General Government
to ride rough-shod, as in times past
over the people Of KanzaS.
Are these voting, policy men going Il
