The Last Dodge--Kanzas Slave State.

The Last Dodge---Kanzas Slave State.
Byreference to another column of to-day
paper it viii be seen that dodge has
been resorted to in Congress, in order to Sc
cure the passage of the Lecompton Consti-
tuition. AS is usual in such cases, the
creature" who performs the dirty work OF
the South, is Northern doughfacs, and
that doughface Senator from the liberty
loving State of Ohio. Just at a time when
the efforts of Mr.. Douglas and the Republi-
cans had destroyed the last hope of the pas
sage Of the Lecompton Constitution, Mr..
Pugh steps in with his miserable subter-
fuge which be styles compromise" and
places that Constitution ,.'high and dry
above the breakers, and renders its passage
almost certain. The Administration has
fully committed itself to the work of making
Kanzas Slave State, and with the united
South and the doughfaces from the North,
there is scarcely room to doubt that it will
succeed. The very next mail may bring US
intelligence that Kanzas has been admitted tn
the fact, it behooves the people of Kanzas to
meet il as becomes men who are engaged in
holy struggle for the rights of Humanity.
The admission of Kanzas into the Union
under the Lecompton Constitution will be,
in effect, declaration of war against the
people of this Territory, and should be ae-
cepted by them as such. We have peti-
toned and demonstrated against this nefa-
rious scheme We have demonstrated al
the ballot-box, in spite of frauds the most
enormous, our right to govern the affairs Of
this Territory; and yet the President of the
United States persists in his scheme of dis
franchising and enslaving US.
Must the struggle for Humanity and the
right of seif-government be one of contin-
ued concession and submission on our part?
Is there not virtue enough in the peopole to
resist the encroachments of this grinding
despotism which threatens to overwhelm US:
We trust there is, and that if an attempt is
made to force the Lecompton Constitution
upon us, it will be met with determination
by men who know their rights, ''and know
ing dare maintain" We have been driven
from post to pillar long enough, and it is
high time that the crack of our rifles was
heard in the White House, where too long
the crack of the slave-drivers whip has
ruled.

We publish this week the Messages of the
two Governors of Kanzas-Free State and
-Slavery-and ask our readers to com
pare the two documents. While that of Gov.
Robinson is far from being SO able and dig
nifed State paper as his Message OF June
last, it still covers the whole ground, and
administers fitting rebuke to the Admins
tration and to Gov. Denver for their syste-
matte Justification of Kanzas history. On
the other hand, the Message of Gov. Den
yer is a silly affair, abounding in misrepre-
sentations the most glaring. and bears more
resemblance to an unscrupulous campaign
document than the Annual Message of the
Governor of Territory

Latest from Salt Lake

The latest news from Salt Lake confirms
the report of the burning of Fort Bridger
by the Mormons, and also report some fight
ing between the troops and the Mormons.
The notorious Bill Hickman had been taken
prisoner by the troops, and afterwards ex-
changed for prisoners held by the Mormons;
but on his release was followed and shot by
a man whose brother had been killed by
Hickman. Provisions were getting scarce,
and fears were entertained that the troops
would suffer from the scarcity.

Arrest of back henderson,.

The notorious traitor, John ID. Henderson,
was arrested on Tuesday, the 19th instant,
while on his way to Washington. between
Delaware and Wyandott, on charge Of
tampering with the Delaware Crossing cleo
ton returns. The circumstances, as we
learn them, are as follows: Under Calhoun s
proclamation, precinct was opened at the
above named place, on the Kanzas river
There are about dozen white men residing
there, by sufferance of the Delaware Indians.
According to the statement of j. Garrett,
one of the Judges, there were only thirty
nine votes polled on the 4th instant. Jack
Henderson, who was present at the polls
during the day, took the returns over to
Leavenworth for the purpose of conveying
them to Calhoun, and it was then announced
that three hundred and thirty votes
were polled. As this gives the majority in
Leavenwortn to Marshall and his compeers,
and leaves 'swe," of that ilk, stranded high
and dry, much Indignation was felt. On
learning that Henderson was leaving the
Territory, Deputy Marshal Cowell, with
Gen. Losee and other citizens of Leaven-
worth, pursued and overlook the stage, as
before stated Col. Woodson was in the
stage with him. He was taken bodily and
brought into Lawrence the same evening.
1t is said he manifested great alarm, and an
ticipated that he would receive summary
punishment. He is now under arrest of a
writ from Probate Judge Miller, issued on
an affidavit of Gen. Losee Gen. Calhoun
has been subpenaed, also this Garrett, the
Judge of Election. A writ of habeas corpas
has been obtained and placed in the hands
of Marshal Dennis. AT the latest account
the Marshall had not succeeded in finding
Henderson.

THE Chinese War

According to recent intelligence from
China it appears that the British forces at
Canton were about to abandon the blockade
and commence more active operations
against the Chinese in other quarters. All
attempts to compromise matters diplomat
ically had come to be regarded by Lord Ell
gin as useless. The refusal of the Celes-
tial Emperor to receive Russian Ambas-
sador, had served to show the futility of
such an effort, and to dispel all suspicion
of completely between the two great impe-
rial rulers. The English troops have been
reinforced, and the Chinese are also busy
in strengthening their defences.

Foreign News.

The last European steamer brings intel
ligence that the financial crisis still contin-
ues severe in the north of Europe. The
Hamburg and English money market was
getting easier.
Another attempt had been made to launch
the mammoth steamship Great Eastern,
which proved unsuccessful, and further at
tempts had been indefinitely postponed.
No news of importance from India.

The Two Legislatures.

The State and Territorial Legislatures are
both in session at Lawrence at this time, and
both busily at work framing code of laws
1t was rendered necessary for the State Leg
islature to remove from Topeka to Lawrence
from the fact that large number of its mem
bers also belonged to the Territorial body,
which had convened at Lawrence. Several
days were occupied in discussing various
policies and plans for the action of the two
bodies-the State Legislature asking the
Territorial Legislature to ''wipe out" all the
bogus laws and then adjourn, thus leaving
the field entirely clear for the action of the
State Legislature, as was the distinct under
standing at the Grasshopper Falls Conven-
tion, or else to comply with the expressed
wish of the Lawrence Delegate Convention,
by submitting the Topeka Constitution to
vote of the people for ratification or rejec-
, ton. The Territorial Legislature refuses
. to do either. ignoring the Grasshopper Falls
and Lawrence Conventions, and claiming
that they were elected to provide the people
with wholesome code of laws for their pro-
i. lection and relief The State Legislature
claim-and Justly too-that they represent
= tie 1hole people, while the Territorial Leg
islature represent but portion of the peo-
pie; and in view of the threatening aspect
of our affairs ataYashington, at and the i'm
minent danger of the admission of Kanzas
under the Lecompton Constitution, The State
Legislature has wisely determined to enact
code of laws that the State Government
may be ready for operation Immediately up
on the passage of the Lecompton Constitu
ton. The Territorial Legislature is placed
in an extremely delicate position-that of
legislating for people who are not repre-
sented in their body. 1t is also position
of great responsibility.
For our own part We think the least the
Territoria. Legislature can do 10 carry out
the expressed wish of the people is to sub
NIT the Topeka Constitution to the people
at the earliest opportunity. If they do not
do this the passage of an Act calling new
Constitutional Convention would be the next
best thing which they could do. We are
satisfied that the whole people are decided
ly opposed to longer perpetuation of the
Territorial power than is absolutely neeessa-
~; and we hope the Territorial Legislature
will take such measures Immediately as will
settle this question forever.

The Nicaraguan FiIlibusters, who were

are penniless and hopeless, and have no

out of the question to return the fillibusters

The Administration and Gen. Walker

The Administration and Gen. Walker.
The arrest of General Walker, by Com
modore Paulding, created an immense SEN
sation in the South. Indignation meetings
have been held at Mobile and several South
ern cities, eensuring the Administration,
and demanding the release of Walker from
custody, and the repeal of the neutrality
laws. The President, however, seems in
clined to stand firm, and, while censuring
the Commodore for acting without instruc-
tions, will not remove him, and is said to
strongly approve the morale of his conduct.
Walker will be tried, but his trial will prob
ably end in mockery. Commander Chat
ard is to be court -martialed for not arresting
Walker before he landed in Nicaragua.

ssThe slavery clause gives the Legislature power
to provide for emancipating (by compromising the
ovner) all slaves, but denies the power to prevent
the Introduction of more slaves. A vote for the
Constitution with slavery is a vote to establish
and forever maintain the institution, with the
power in the Legislature of emancipation. 4 vote
for the Constitution with no slavery Is vote to
recognize the existence of slavery now there, to
keep those slaves who now in the Territory and
their natural increase slaves during their lives, and
is vote to strike out the power of the Legislature
to emaneipate. The Constitution without slavery
means that slavery shall be confined to those slaves
now there, and their increase from generation to
generation, with power the part of the Leg
islature to emancipate by compensation any
other way- The Constitution with slavery allows
more slaves to be brought Kanzas, but gives the
Legislature power to provide for their emaneipa-
ton. We confess our inability to decide which OF
these two alternatives Is the more 'pro-siavery.-
We incline to the opinion that the Constitution
with no slavery is the more 'pro-slavery.'
Notwithstanding. the President in his
message says: THE question has been
fairly and explicitly referred 10 the people
whether they will have Constitution with
or without slavery .At this election
every citizen viii have sn opportunity OF
expressing his opinion By his vote whether
Kanzas shall be admitted into thee Union
