PASSAGE OF LECOMPTON IN THE
SENATE.

A Geographic dispatch to the Chicago
Tribune. dated the 22d, says that the vote
upon Lecompton was taken in the Senate
on Monday, and passed by eight majority
The vote is not given but the nays, bcsi.les
the Republicans, were probably Douglas
Stuart, Broderick. Pugh, Crittenden and
Bell. We entertain great fears now of its
passage through the House. The dispatch
says:
Mr.. Douglas spoke three hours this morn
ing to an immense audience There were
no vacant places in the galleries, and the re.
porters were overrun by invading Border
Ruffians. The floor of the Senate was
crowded with ladies.
Mr.. Douglas referred to his course on
the slavery question from the time of the
admission of Texas

egraphic synopsis of Mr.. DIS speech. The
following is what the telegram gives as the
concluding portion of his remarks:

deposed President to address a letter to the

would like to know why the President pro

opinion is that the Free State party have it.

copy of his recent speech in Congress- a

that the Lecompton instrument is not q
reflex of the will of majority of the pco-
pie of Kansas, and that the Free State
party were DISTINGUISHED. and could not,
hal they wished, voted for Delegates to
the Convention. Every act in the drama,
from first to last, he argues, shows incon-
testibly that the Pro-slavcry party intend
ed to carry their scheme by fraud and cor
ruption. Mr.. English has always been a
Democrat of the most uncompromising
character. but Lccompton is too nauseous
a pill even for him. Old Fcderalists, Dis
unionists and new converts, however, swal-
low it down without making even a wry
face, and old Democrats of half century

II there be any thing in Punch's sugges-

animal would be to intimate that you had

there is any truth in Puneh's statement,
