THURSDAY, MAY 6,1858.
The Lecompton Constitution has passed
both Houses : the Senate by 0 to 22;
the House by 112 to 103.
The original position of tbo Admiuis
tration party was to pans Lecompton with
out submitting it to the people for thei
ratification. But that plan of making
Kansas a slave state could not receive a
majority of votes in the Lower Ilouse
A conference was then resorted toby the
Administration party, which conference
was composed of a majority of Ad minis
tration democrats, and the conference re
ported a bill to the following effect:
If the nconle of Kansas will vote for
, r--the
Lecompton Conr-titution, which wil
malic Kansas a Slave State, they shal
immediately thereafter be admitted iuto
1 the Union with a population of nearlj
40,000 inhabitants, and shall receive
donation of 3,500,000 acres of public land
But if they vote against making Kan
sas 8 Slave State, they then shall stay
out of the Union until they have a popu
lfitmn nf riT.nut Oo.OOO inhabitant', and
nhall receive no public land.
Why not subttit it fairly to them with
mi, a nonnltv for votin?? against it 7 That
, j c a
would have been the true democratic doc
trinn. nml a doctrine to which we most
heartily subscribe. t
But the only answer is, that this weak
lave diiving AdminUtration is so fully
bent on making Kansas a Slave State
that it ha- resorted to thi contemptible
hift, believing that the people of Kansas
have been so long and so much barrasscd
and impovcri-hed, by constant agitation,
that they will eagerly grasp at any op
portunity that may offer to free themselves
from their territorial condition.
But we tru-t that Buchanan and hi
abettors will be mistaken in this their last
trick to make Kansas a Slave State; for
we think that this bribe will be rejected
by nn overwhelming majority.

in
Middle S:n:thfield township, was destroy
ed by fire together with nearlj the entire
'contents. The fire occurred about 10 o'
clock in the forenoon, and is supposed to
have originated from the stove-pipe run
ning through the kitchen roof, attached
to the main building. Mr. D. and fami
ly, we have been informed, were in the
house at the time, but the flames spread
to rapidly that they were unablo to
save jiny articles of value, except the li
brary of Dr. Cushing, who was residing
witk the family, which was saved.
Mr. D.s loss is estimated at $3,000.

BE INDUSTRIOUS.
Addressed Particularly to Children.
Mv LitTiiE Friends:
You all know what it is to be industry
OU; it 13 tO D6 aiwaya uuay. -
theduty of every body,--grown men and
women, to be ludustnous, as it is yours,
but I wih to address this article especial
ly to you because your habits are now
forming, and you can be more easily per
suaded to do right than those who arc
older. Those traits which arc to accom-
pany'jou through life, and lead you on
to happiness or misery, are now being
moulded and stamped indelibly upon your
characters, it is now in jour power to ber
come almost any kiud of men and women
that you determine to be. If you arc i
dle, careless, and indolent, you may be
sure that, unless some miraculous change
takes place in your characters, jou will
be usele.-s members of society, when you
grow up. You will live and die, and be
forgotten, tbe world will not be benefit
ed by your having livid in it, and will
therefore forget you; you will not accom
plish the purpose for which you are crea
ted, your existence will be a blank, a void
and fiually you will be summoned before
the great Jndge of all, to render an ac
count for those talents you will have mis
employed, for that time and those oppor
tunities you will have squandered.
But if, on tbe contrary, you arc indus
trious in the pursuit of good; if you ex
ercise discrimination insclccting tbo high
est and noblest objects of ambition, and
pcrscvcranco and indomitable resolution
until you attain those object-; then you
will be meeting the cuds of your exist
ence, and though you may not all bo dis
tingui.hcd in public life, yet rest assured
that you will be honorable and respected
citizen, and great aud good examples, e
ven though your influence extend not be
yond the boundaries of your native ham
lets. All of the greatest and best characters,
those mot deserving of admiration,
that ever figured before the world, have
been distinguished for Industry and Per
severance, and for sound moral principles
that turned their efforts to good account
For though the first mentioned qualities
are very desirable in themselves, yet il
they are perverted to bad purposes, they
only render their pos-essor more danger
ous in proportion as his power for mis
chief is increased. Have a care then,
that you are not only industrious and en
ergetic, but also that your energies be ap
plied for the promotion of good, for the
Ixnrfit of the whole human race. This
will be servini? tbe binhest purpose of
o o
your creation, you will be happy your
selves, nnd vou will be making others
, j w
happy.
Tlure is one other thing to which I
wih to call your attention; Never under
take to do but one thing at a time, and
whatever you are engaged in, endeavor
for the time being to excel in that partic
ular thing.
If you aro at school, give your strict
aud undivided attention to the means pro
vided for your education; rest not sati3
fied with anything fbort of a first class
place in the school to which you belong.
Be industrious until you attain that place,
and then be industrious vi order to retain
it.
If yon arc at work, whatever that vo
cation may be, provided it be useful, work
with your whole heart and understanding.
Endeavor to excel all others in your
particular department.
If you are at play, if the amusement
is calculated to benefit your mind or body,
and if you indulge in it at a proper sea
son, give tlialjour special attention, and
exerci-e all your faculties to become pro
ficient in the game. It is better to be a
first-rate player even at Ball or Marbles,
than an indifferent one.
Finally whatever your hands find to do
that do with all your might, and never
eat nor sleep while you are counted only
a medium scholar, or a medium mechan
ic, or a medium player even.
Lord Chesterfield, an accomplished
scholar, and a polished gentleman, in
his valuable "Letters to his Son," admon
ished him while at school in the strong
est language, and threatened him with
his serious displeasure, if he fell short of
being the fust in his clas: and at the
same time, assured him that it was an ob
ject also worthy of his ambition, to play
at Cricket better than any other boy of
his age. The principle is a good one,
and if fully carried out by you all, will
result in your possessing well cultivated
miuds and vigorous and athletic bodies.
Let your motto be; "Whatever is worth
doing at all is worth doing well !" and be
assured that a long continued system of
judicious indslry, will raise you up to be
ornaments of the present, and brilliant ex
amples for all coming generations.

Tha English Iniquity Successful
In Saturday's Telegraph we chroni
cled the passage of the English bill; and
to-day we present a full analysis of the
cote bv which this unjust and wicked
teheme has been foisted upon tbo people
of Kansas and the whole couutry. Ibis
is a dark and fatal deed of profligate pol
iticians; and will Mir the moral VeVe o!
the country, to its. profoundest depths.;
But the contents not' over, only now
to be transferred to Kansas, and to the
neonlc of the Free States. A GuEAT
Wrong, a Great Inequality, a Great,
Injuctice has been mulcted upon im
States, and tlmy will . never .submit
The Wrong is in. bribing tbe people of
Kansas with 3,500,000 acres of laud to
Imiia if if til PC ncrvnt. Locompton; and
IJUtW IV 1 4
nt fn Imvo it if thev do not The Ine
35.000 or 45.000
noriulation only necessary to a Slave
State, and 10U.OOO necessary for a Free
State.' The Injustice is in keeping Kan
casontof the Uniou, choosing to be Free
and admitting, only ou coudition that she
be Slave. . .
The shameless Lecompton Constitution
was sent to Congress with an ordinance
claiming a grant of 23.50.0,000 acres of
public lands. The Committee on Terri
tories, in their report in favor of the ad
mission of Kansas with the Lecompton
Constitution, said:
The Committec'does not approve the
ordinance accompanying the Constitution,
and report against its allowance; but they
do not regard it a any part of the Con
stitution." The English bill puts jn the 3,500,000
acres which the Crittenden bill gave at
once to Kansas adopting any republican
constitution but, if the people take tin
land they must take the Lecompton Pro.
Slavery Constitution. No "Lecompton."
no land ! No land, no admission into the
Union ! The Bribe, therefore, is the land
to take in Lecompton. Mr. Crittenden
gave tbe lands to Free State or Slave
State. Mr. English gives the lauds only
to Slave State.
The anti-Frcc State discrimination is
the next great outrage in the bill. The
English Bill admits Kansas with the Le
compton (Slave) Constitution into the Li
nton, with its present population of 35,
000 or 40,000, but forbids its coming
into the Union, if it persists in being a
Free State, until it lias the u?ual repre
sentative population, which now 93,000,
and undci the next census will be over
100,000 it may be 1 25.000.
Then the Judges of Election that is.
the Judges upon the acceptance of the
Land Ordinance in English V Bill, are
simply the old Calhoun frauds and con
trivanccs again
Moutgomcry Bill, the Governor and Sec
retary of the Territory, and the prinding
officers of the two branches of the Terri
torial Legi.-laturc The President of the
Council and the Speaker of the IIouc of
Representatives were made a board ol
commissioners to carry out the Act of
Congres, to make the arrangements for
voting upon the constitution, and to de
termine and announce the result. Mr.
Ecglis-h has quietly added to these offi
cers the United States District Attorney,
placing iu the board of commissioners a
majority of Federal officers creatures of
the Administration with full power to
take any measures needed to secure a no
minal adoption of the Lccomjton Condi
tion. When we recollect the enormous
frauds perpetrated in Kansas, is it not
clear almo.t that the Crittenden bill was
thus purposely changed to count out the
'ayes' on the Land Ordiuancc, without
any reference to the number of people vo
ting in Kansa-. Indeed, what is the use
of elections, if there can be no fair count?
or what better arc they than the prima-,
ry box-stuffing elections in our cities,
which have been the scorn and hiss of all
honest men !
But we have no rejoicing over a com
mon si ame. We have no word of con
gratulation at an event which iuflicts dis
grace upon our common country. The
more wo deliberate upon the record of
the lat fourteen months, the more do wc
feel that a blow has been struck at the
very heart of our institutions, from which
we may never recover. The battle goes
now to Kansas, and to the Free State.
Wc predict, it will return to Washington
next winter, spectre-like, to gibber and
sqeak before, and to haunt the authors
of all this wrong, this inequality, this
injustice, this fraud"! Daily Tele

A Sicilian bark has lately arrived at
Philadelphia, bringing a cargo of oran
ges and lemons, intermingled with cock
roaches from two and a half to three
inches in length. The reporter of The

"Soino of them aro called 'scorpion
back,' and carry around a style of shell
that crunches under one's boots like a re
markably tough egg-shell. Those fel
lows are very queer looking. They are
dark brown in color, and, when running,
look like a strip of highly varnished ma
hogany under great excitoment."

demurcd to This feature of the bill, and a-
mended, so as to allow an inquiry into
tin nrcessitv of the license, but, by the
pertinacity of the House, was compelled
Vo vinld the noint. and the free trade bill
of the oue, became a law.
On Friday last a nutnbes of new appli-
cants came up and were confidently press-
cd upon the ground that their necessity
for the accommodation ot the putuic was
not to be considered that having com-
plied with the forms of the Jaw, they
were entitled to their licenses as a mani
of course, and that the Court dould not
refuse them. Gov. llceder, however,
who was adversci? employed, took the
ground that the Legislature were entirely contusion on the forehead, which is con
mistaken as to the meaning and effect of sjdered quite dangerous". Mrs. Wills and
the law tliey had passed that it had no
such operation as was generally ascribed
to it. and that iu fact, the Court Was
bound to inquire, as uuder the old law,
whether the tavern proposed was neccssa-
ry for the accommodation of tbe public,
and if, iu their opinion, it was not so nec-
essary', they must reject the application,

l he matier was argueu ou i-Miuay even-
ing, (wo learn from the disinterested
members of the bar,) and baturday morn-
ing, and that Gov. lteeder so clearly and
conclusively established hi? positiou that
there can remain uo doubt upon the sub-
ject. .Nearly, if not quite all, the mem-
bers of the bar, as we learn, concur in the
opiuion that the argument cannot be an
swered, and all the citizens we have
heard speak on the subject are of the
same opinion. It is confidently expected
that tbe Court will adopt and act upon it.
Wc shall give their decision to-morrow.
Singulurly enough, the counsel for lhe
applicants was Mr.Gcopp, who was chair
man of Judiciary Committee in the IIou?e,
and has the reputation of having prepared
the bill. lie is certaiuly an able lawyer

sition taken bv gov. Reeder. aud argued
the question in t-uch a manner as to con
vcy the impression that he was convinced
against his will. We arc not learned in
the law, but we undestand that the posi
tiou is based on the legal operation of a
proviso in the sixth section of the new
a.
law, aud also upon tho argument that by
the repeal of a n pealing law the third
iectiou of the act of 1934 was unexpect-
edly revised. It is generally considered
here a capital joke upon the Legi-datrc.
P. S. Since putting the above in type
the Court have given their opinion upon
the application- referred to, and decline
giving any licenses to tho parties apply-
ing, except in the case of Charus Dawes,

cord the never ceasing run of good for
tune that flows from a small risk in the
legalized lottery of S. Swan & Co , which
draws every Saturday in Augusta, Ga.
The holder of a fortunate ticket will bo
entitled to the capital prize of S70,000,
which draws next month; while the pos
sessor of a half or a quarter will secure a
proportionate share of the same.
