Wype yliiverlznownlpat,ty to be more
iiknally'routed,and demoralized than the trai
torsto Democratic pledgee and principles who
'iSpimisi;ll the'cause of Lecompton . “ pure and
simple." There was something so outrageous
and tyrannical in the attempt to force a Go
vernment upon the people of an inchoate
American_ State against their will, that it has
been indignantly condemned by the patriotic
sentiment of the whole country, and has be.
an 'idea as ff3tillhlism.
The vote of the people of Kansas convinced
the.wholetiation.of the justice of the repro
sentations,of the antagonists of Lecomption,
and presented those who had advocated that
instrument in a most unenviable light.' .
But the organs of the Administration still
'havikthe andacious folly . to prate of the Eng
lish:. bill as a., "finality,'? and to boast that if
they could not heap insult and wrong upon tho
pearda: of Kansas for the high crime of pre
ferring free to slavetnititntiona, by dragging
them into the Union against their will, they
can 'at least hfrio the, satisfaction of keeping
them out of the Union for a time on the plea
`of itisutilcient population.
It is 'a
very significant fact,, however, that
while this finality doctrine is enunciated in a few
Oonventions of Federal office-holders, and in
papers sustained by the patronage of the Go
vernment, and is proclaimed by such high au
thorities to be the only true Democratic doe,
-trine, nobody else, north of Meson and Dixon's
line, is in favor of it. There is no party
among the people in favor of requiring for
the admission of a free State a greater popu
lation than has been deemed requisite for the
admisidon of a slave' State. We do not even
know a Northern Lecompton Congressman who
dards iivoivlo his censtituency that be is in fa
vor of this distinction. On the contrary, these
men are distinctly proclaiming that they are
willing to admit Kansas with any Constitution
she may legally frame, without reference to
population. The advocates of the English bill,
who voted for, and secured its passage, pub
licly announce., wherever they address the
people, their determination to disregard its
provisions. For all practical purposes, there aro
none so pooras to do reverence to the English
bill in the North- 7 not oven its own authors. It
may be, indeed, that these Congressional candi
dates aro insincere in their professions. This we
think probable. Having been false to their
constituents once, they may be false again.
It is certain that they would cheat somebody—
either tho South, which relies upon their ad
herence to the restrictive principle which they
endorsed by voting for the English bill, or
the North, to which they now proclaim their
determination to admit Kansas 'without refer
ence to population. But, for the present, we
speak of a victory gained, because nowhere in
the North can, there be found any considerable
body of men willing to avow' themselves in
favor of the original Locompton movement,
or the principle embodied in the English bill.
Everywhere
_indignant thousands condemn
both these measures.
It is, true that the official guillotine is at
work doing its best to secure that " unifor
mity of opinion" which the Union con
siders particularly desirable, and head after
head is chopped off to attain this object. But
the old woman who attempted to mop up the
ocean with her broom made about as sensi
ble an adaptation of moans to the end desired
as the officials win) seem to imagine that tho
proscription of the independent spirits in their
service can change the honest political convic
tions of the American people.
The Lecomptonites argue that, inasmuch as
the votes polled at the late Kansas election
are nearly equal to the votes of the ordinary
Congressional districts of the country, her
population must be nearly equal to that re
quired by the English bill. They forget that
Kansas is settled, to a great extent, by young
or adventurous men, many of whom aro un
married, or have left their families in their old
homes until they could provide new ones for
them. The proportion of women and chil
dren to the number of voters is much smaller
in Kinsas than in any old settled community.
So that a considerable time must yet elapse be
fore Kansas will posiess a population of 93,000,
and if her admission is delayed beyond 1860,
the.vatio will be about 120,000. Ant these very
same Congressmen who . have voted for the
restriction in the English bill will bo called
upon, at the next session, to vote upon the
admission of Oregon, and, although she has a
less population than Kansas, we presume she
will be admitted. Why, then, should an unjust
discrimination be enforced against tho Terri
tory of • Kansas, and men be punished and
proscribed because they will not, "like
scurvy politicians," get "glass eyes," though
which they can seed reason why a slave
State - should require a less population than
a free State ?
The English bin requires that a census
should be taken, as a preliminary to the forma
tion of the new Constitution, but we do not
believe this will be done. Lecompton was
considered as sacredly embalmed in all the
"forms of law " without swab a census, and
why should not a now Constitution, fairly
formed, and fairly ratified by the people, be
equally binding ? Hutch a Constitution goes
to Washington, the honest and enlightened
sentiment of the country requires the admis
sion of Kansas under it, notwithstanding the
strange measurements of justice and Demo
cracy set up by the Administration, and no
man should be allowed to enter into the Con
gress of 1859.60 who cannot be implicitly re
lied on to faithfully represent this sentiment.
Speech of Attorney General Knox.
The speech of Attorney General Knox, at
the great meeting of the friends of JOHN
HICKMAN, at Cochranville, on Wednesday
last, will be found at length in Tits Pam of
to-day, admirably reported in short-hand
by Mr. MeEramss. As.a history of the Ter
ritorial' question, it will . be invaluable,
while the clear and logical manner in
which. the eloquent and learned jurist
argues the case, and the bold and fear
less -denunolation of the attempt of the
Eedeial powers to make their own betrayal a
test upon the men who elected them, will eve
rywhere command attention. What was need
ed was precisely such a summary of the ques
tion at issue—one that will recall, in forcible
language, the whole of the record, and will re
awaken the public mind to the duty incum
bent upon every intelligent voter. This has
been done in masterly style by the Attorney
General, and the statement is riveted by a
compact and comprehensive argument that
must carry conviction
,to every thinking mind.

Madame Johansen, formerly the prms donna of
this German operatic company i n New York. She
le a delightful singer, pure in tone and brilliant
in execution. Of course, "La Dfarsoillaise" was
given by Parodi, and greatly applauded. She
intones it admirably, it, is true, but Rachel need

powerfully enunciates.
Of the new singorlwhomParodi has introduced

• , . IWAsuoraforr, Sept. 16,1858.
There is - an Interesting eentroveray going on in
Virginia over the proposal to nominate " honest "
John Letoher as Governor of that State. What
renders the contest more interesting is the foot that
Letoher was only - eight yet& agebtley in promul
gating ultra abolition dodtrines throughout the Old
Dominion. There is no escaping the sin. It is fas
tened upon him by thenioat indubitable °vide - laces;
indeed, " Honest John " does
. not deny it himself.
Of course, this is the unpardonable
,offense. This
is a thousand times worse than ; supporting Doug
las, or insisting upon a-fulfilment of pledges ; and of
coarse, alsb; the illustrious Pryor;of the Itichniond
South, ie standing forth, With his mighty sword
acid terrific pistols,, determined upon , Mr. Let
ohor's life. BAJto the Abolitionist' of 1850 is
just novetheeiptiolal favorite of the Richmond
South, and all those whose god and gospel is the
" peeuliar institution." Others, however, are not
so ready to accept Mr. Letoher. The Enquirer
battles against him with great ability, and a num
ber of distinguished gentlemen are named' as can
didates in opposition to him. 'The Enquirer soya
th . at " the fouiproprietors of that journal are not
united in favor of any one men for Governor, but
that, if oaoh is 'ideated as a delegate to the State
Convention, es they, hope to bo, they will then
make their preferences. In the meantime, how
ever, the Enquirer states that all its proprietors
are united ,in oppoiltion to Mr. Letcher's promo
tion to the Gubernatorial office." Mr. Greeley
himself, in his most decided articles against slavery,
never went further than the doctrines endorsed by
Mr. Letchor, who is now the prime first choice of
The South and its adherents.
I see that Mr, Pryor is abusing you in the same
manner as he abused Judge Douglas. Ho told the
South that Douglas was not to be trusted because
or the rugged vuigaratles of his early odium
tion," and now he abuses you beoauee you were
once an apprentice to. a printer. But as he iq said
here to have dined with Judge Douglas after he
abused him, time is come hope that he may some
'day forgive .you.
Sad news has been received here—sad for the
Union. That excellent and sagacious journal de
clared, the other day, that Judge Douglas should
be Sent to Hades forever, if he did not Requiem /
in the English bill; and now I am called upon to!
say that the author of that bill—no loss than the!
illustrious English—his himself repudiated it in'
his Congressional canvass in Indiana, in order
to save his nook. This took place a few days
ago. A. distinguished Southern Senator declared
to me •that the South had been most egregi.
ouely fooled by this whole affair. "We have been
misled and deluded from the word go," he said.
" We have been fooled into playing second to meet
of gentlemen who wanted to destroy Douglas, and
into the worst porseontion of our beat friends in
the North ; and now, after being committed to all
this sort of, injustice, we are to be deserted on the
basis of thevery compromise offered to us by the
Administration ; for," he added, " I have .no
doubt that your Representatives in the Ntifili
and instructed to go against the English, bill in
order to be elected."
The English bill, which was finally adopte by
Congress at ;the Administration method for-dis
posing of the Kansas question, contains the, fol
lowing extract : •
-"But, should a majority of the votes be east for
the proposition rejeeted,' it shall be deemed and
held that - the people of Kansas do not desire ad-'
mission into the Union under the said Conetitu-,
lion, under the conditions sot forth in said propo
sition; and; in that event, the people of said
Territory are hereby authorised and empowered
to form for themselves a Constitution and State
Government, under the name of the State of Kan
sas, according to the Federal Constitution, and may
elect delegates for that purpose whenever, AND
NOT BEFORE, it is ascertained, by a census duly
and legally taken, that the population of said
Territory equals the ratio of representatton re.
'glared for a member of the House of Represen
tatives of the United States," &At.
Now, while the organs of the Administration and
officeholders Conventions endorse the English bill
as a finality, and undertake to read out of the De
mooratio party all who will not avow their willing
nese to consider it snob, it is a singular fact that
soaroely a Congressional candidate of any party
in the North dares to go before the people in
defence-of the practical principle of the Eng
lish bill. Even those who voted for that measure
are loud in their professions of a willingness
violate the provisions of their own law, and to
admit Name into the Union when she makes' a
proper application, withentreferenee to her popu
lation. Wilson Reilly proclaims this doctrine
in every speech ha makes. So does Owen Zones.
So does James Landy. So, I presume, do Dewart,
Phillips, Leidy, Dimmlok, and all the- Penn
sylvania Leoomptonites. In Indiana, we see "it
stated that all the Lecoreptenites, exceptNiblaalt;
have announced their determination to -adniii
Kansas, irrespective of her,
,population. ha ;Ohio,
the Demooratio journals indignantly deny that
their candidates for Congress 'would require a
population of 93,200 sea condition for the admis
sion of Kansas In New York, even the:Reidy
has advocated a disregard of the English-bill re=
strietion ; and whitteverftateConventleneortoliolal
papers may say, the candidates for Congress Who
speak to the people must and do; so far it least
as professions go, defer to their well-known hos
tility to an unjust discrimination between free and
slave Constitutions. Even in Lancaster county,
the home of the President, the telegraph repori!
the Democratic candidate for Congress, Mr. nop
king, to have said that he will vote to admit Kan
sas without any reference whatever to her popula
tion. The restrictive principle in the English bil l
is, in fact, condemned and ignored by' the whole
body of the people of the North. The idea of read
ing men out of the party who will not endorse the
English bill as " a finality" is the height of ab
surdity, because there is in reality no snob finality
party to road Iheni'out of.
Ent, while the popelarsentiment of the North L
all in one direction, I do not doubt that men who
have deceived the people heretofore might do so
again, if they have the opportunity. At this mo
ment, Governor Denver persistently refuses to call
the Legislature of Kansas together, for the pur
pose of instituting the necessary measures to pre
pare a Constitution, under which application for
admission might be made at the next session of
Congress, and by this delay, and various other do
vices, the Leoomptonites evidently hope to post
pone the admission of Kansas until a distant pe
riod—if possible, beyond 1800—that she may have
no electoral votes to oast in the Presidential con
test of that year. This sort of jugglery is relied
upon to prevent the gratification of the well
known wishes of a vast majority of the American
people, and if they are not judicious and deter
mined• in their action, it will be successful, and
the will of the minority once more prevail To be
forewarned is to be forearmed.
It is stated, time and again, in papers in New
York, and elsewhere, that importations are in
weaving, and consequently that the revenue
of the Government is getting enlarged. Nbw,
there 'sena very plain statement which covers the
entire ground. With all the facts, and all the
calculations upon them, the revenue for this year
from customs cannot be made to exceed $25,000,000.
It Is universally admitted that there will bo no
receipts from the sales of public lands that will
amount to anything. Mr. Buchanan himself
'confesses this by hie countermanding the order
for the sale of public lands in Kansaa, where
they would bring ,the Government price if
'they were likely to do it anywhere. Then, as
the, expenditures of the Government aro over
$90,000,000, (for it is so written in the books
of the Treasury , Department) whore is the
remaining $06,000,000 to COMO from ? It must be
borrowed and added to the $35,000,000 of money
already borrowed under this Administration, of
the tariff must be inoreased to secure an increased
revenue ; for, surely nobody is visionary enough
to ask for free trade and direct taxation in these
times. Our people will not, I think, tolerate the
oppression of a further national debt. Then, wo
must have an increase of tariff, and in an increase
of tariff, Is it not only common sense that where
disorimination is to take place, that disorimina-
Hon shall be in favor of our own manufactures? In
every emergency it should be recollected, however,
that In Pennsylvania there is an iron interest
equal almost to the cotton growing interest of the
South, and while the latter has so many favors,
showered upon it, Pennsylvania members should:
not let the former get the go-by.
We may es well meet the question directly. A
great change of opinion has taken place in the
country on the tariff, and no revenue measure can
pass that does not recognise this change.

The Niagara Bank, at Lentil - Mt refused to- psy gold
on a package of their notes, which were protested and
returned to the superintendent ofthe bank 'department
for payment. The cashiei of the bank gives for aims°
the statement that " a Buffalo broker pre:ented a pack
age of their bills, and that-they offered him a a ght
draft on New Yorker Albany, which he audiclotusly re
fused." They have not yet learned, up there, that
sight drafts on New York, &o:, 'are not a legal tender,
and that there Is nos necessarily any malice lnvolved in
the preference of notes - which will be redeemed at the
miperintendent's" office, over a sight draft which might
be returned protested. We advise the cashier , to send
at once and subscribe for the Banker's Magazine. He
may, perhaps, thereby save both his own reputation,
and the credit of the bank In future.
