thing of late more amusing, than the assumed
virtuous indignation of the New York Courier
and Enquirer, over its own allegation, that the
President is preparing to buy up. votes for the
Lecompton constitution, by promises of For

mi rise upon our mind on seeing such line
OF argument in that journal, in spite of our in
disposition to listen to- or repeat such charges
involving the integrity of our contemporaries of
the press.
The fun of the thing however, lies in the fact,
that the New York editor entirely ignores the
portion of the political history of the times
which renders it apparent-palpably so-to all
the world, that the marketable publications of
the day are to be found in the Republican par
ty ranks-not in the ranks of the Democracy;
| who, according to this wiseacre, require to be
bribed to carry out their own party policy,
However, this silly story is but portion of the

are to be frightened with the bugaboo of hav.

were kept from joining the Republicans by be-

sures of the Democracy they were elected to
carry out. The Courier man is wasting bis

The KANSAS ELECTION.-In order to show
the fallacy Of the allegation that there will be
| civil war in Kansas, should the State be ad-
mitted under the LecomptOn Constitution, We
clip the following articles from the Herald of
Freedom of the 10th, the leading Republican
paper of the Territory. 1t will be seen that so
far from resistance, the better class of the Re-
3ublicans expect and desire admission under
that instrument.
"THR SLorHs REsPoNsIBLE-Mr Puph from
Ohio, has introduced bill in the Senate for the
Immediate admission of Kansas into the Union
under the Lecompton Constitution and providing

or that Of MIR. Stephens, of Georgia. will become
the law. Indeed nearly all our friends writing
us from w ashington say there Is but little doubt
OF the result, that our admission into the Union
under the Lecompton Constitution has become a
fixed fact that the result is almost certain as IL

let their friends vote, shall bear the censure''
In an article headed % The Lecompton Swim
de-, the Herald says
During the last week several gentlemen have
enquired what we would advise in case we have
been so fortunate as to obtain possession Of the
government by the election of the I.eoisIature
and Congress should admit us into the Union
uuder the Lecompton Constitution. We have
replied in each instance, that as soon as the
Legislature Is convened under that instrument
without stopping to make any other enactments
or doing any other thing than to organize the
law-mdking power, We would have them pass a
law, enabling the people to elect delegat 5 at an
early day, to new Constitutional Convention
throwing every necessary guard around the bal
lot-bOx to ensure fairness in the elections This
done, the people should elect delegates, and a
new Constitution, such the people desire
should be framed, and submitted to them for
adoption or rel lection

ately elected under il, and they should be per
mitted to enter at once upon the duties Of their
respective Offices. This, are happy to saw

the late election, and agreeably to the request Of
which, nominations were made in the various
Leg islatve and Senatorial districts all over the

resolution of the Convention, in the following
words:
