rile Lticoinpton Fight Finished.- PASSAGE OF THE ENGLISH SWINDLE. From The'* X, Y. Tribune. M f . English's Lecompton contrivance passed both Bouses of Copgrlss yesterday ; the Senate by 39 to 23 ; the House by 112 to 103*. Ol the original force of twenty-two Democrats who stood up against the original Lecompton bill in the House, only twelve stood out to ihe. end against this juggle. One (Mr. Gilmer) of the six South American op ponents of Lecbmplon caved; the others stood firm. Well: Lecompton Junior has passed What then? Nothing,, but a very brief dismissal of the Kansas question from the floor of the two Houses. This hill settles nothing, establishes nothing, but leaves all at as loose ends as ever.- The original Lecompton bill had at least this merit—it assumed lo'oe a finality. Kan sas might upset or transform the Constitution thereby impnsed on her, but Congress was piecludcd.from again meddling with the sub ject. True ; the question would come back again, in the shape of contested elections to the House or Senate, or both ; but the bill contemplated nothing of the sort. It- pro fessed to remit all that remained of the con troversy to the People of Kansas. And what Mr. Green’s bit) fully professed to do, the Critlendi-n-Monlgomery bill actually did.— Thai bill said to the People of Kansas, “Rati fy the Lecompton Constitution if you like it, and you are in the Union ; if you don't like it, frame another and fairly ratify it, and you " ill then be in the Union, without further ac'ion by Congress.” Here was an end of contention, a balm for agitation, a practical end of controversy. The People of Kansas might quarrel further, should they see fit; but Congress resolved and pledged itself to do nothing but secure them fair play. But this English bill does'not even aspire to be final. It says, “Accept the Land-Grant as «e have fixed it, and we shall consider you in the Union under the Lecompton instru ment ; reject it, and you may not form an other Consiiiuiion until a census shall have shown that you possess a population equal to the Federal ratio for a Member of the House.” In the one case, Kansas comes in at once as a Slave State, receiving a large bonus from the Land Sales about to lake place ; in the other, she wails for a much larger population, an official census, a formal proclamation of the fact, a Convention and new Constitution, and an acceptance of the I viler by Congress. The strong probability is that this »ii( keep her out at least two years longer. For what? Five thousand sophists, each gifted with miraculous and well-oiled tongues, could not office the fact that there are heavy bribes offered, and menaces held out,to a harassed, struggling, impoverished community, design ed to impel ihym to accept a Slave Con-sliiu tion on the plea that they can change it at pleasure. Here are solid, palpable, imme diate advantages proffered to tempt them to this course, «*iih corresponding penalties to be incurred by standing out. If they reject Lecnrnpton by rejecting the modified Land- Grant, thev gei no Lands nt present, no pro vision for Railroads, no five per cent, on the Proceeds of the Lands about to be sold ; and they are thrust back into Territorial vassal nge for an indefinite period, with Denver for their Governor, Lecomple and Cato for their Judges, and Buchanan for their Grand SenioT. The Federal Administration has most un wisely decreed that Kansas shall still be a watchword in our National struggles. The Crittenden.Montgomery bill would have ob viated this; Congress would gladly passed that bill ; but the Executive was implacable. By Cabinet influence and Presidential patron age, the Kansas feud has been kept ; there will be no more cessation till Kansas' is fully in the Union the acknowledged Free Stale that all know her rightfully to be. We give her oppressors fair notice that the unjust disabilities imposed on her by the English bill are utterly scouted by earnest Free-State men ; that the population which is confess edly largo enough for a Slave Stale will be held sufficient for a Free State; that if the foolish, useless, culpable constitution o( an Election Board consisting of three Federal officers to two elected by her People, shall be made a clonk for foul voting or false re turns, those voles, those returns, will be ren dered of no avail ; and that, by a large ma jority of the People, all other issues will bo postponed or subordinated until Kansas shall have been fully delivered from her op prrßsors and added to the galaxy of Fiee Stales. _So, Messrs. Lecomptonites, move on ! A Heroic Maiden. —A few days pgo a slide occurred on the at the ConnellWtlle Railroad, at a point on the Yooghogheny, above and opposite to M’Keesport, where ■ there is a sharp curve in the river, and the track is laid wholly on the cutting. A large jock fell and remained directly on the track. This was observed by a daughter of Mr. Jno. Drave, who resides on the opposite side of the river. The male portion of the family were absent at the lime; and she, knowing thal il was about the hour when the cars would pass that point, and that there was no time to be lost, ran to the river’s side, un loosed her father’s skiff, rowed across with all possible haMe, and ran along the track in the direction of the approaching train, wav ing a red bandkercheif, and succeeded in at tracting the attention of the engineer in the very nick of time. The brakes were applied, the train slopped, and the danger pqinled out. 1 1 was the opinion of the officers aboard, that nothing but the lively warning of Miss Drave saved the lives of all on board the cars,— The curve in the road was so sharp that a collision would have thrown the cars off the track down the embankment into the river. The company have shown a proper apprecia tion of the heroic conduct of the young lady, and the invaluable service rendered, by pre senting her with a pass over the road for many years to come, and ordered the train to stop at that point where she can most read ily reach bar residence, whenever she hap pened to ha on board the cars—a compliment and convenience at tha same lime, as it is a Considerable distance from her father’s house to the nearest siation. —Pitttburg Ditpatch.

Remarkable Oisclosnres—lTlnrder will Out. On the 18th of September, 1850, the citi zens of Orange were thrown into great ex crement by the news that a farmer named Ira Clark had been found dead in a field not far from his house, with a terrible gash in his throat, and a razor in his hand. After a day of intense interest, and after a careful examination of the trails of blood near by, the Coroner’s jury decided that the man had not committed suicide, but was murdered by some person unknown. Physicians testified lhat no man could walk far enough to leave so long a trail of blood, with so fatal a cut in his throat. • ■ Suspicion fell at once upon a worthless fellow named Bowen, who had maintained a disreputable inlimaoy with the wife of the murdered man, but no proof of bis guilt could' be found. He was released from jail, and for more than 7 years there has seemed no chance that the murderer would ever be exposed or convicted. Bui “murder will out.” On Friday last W. C. Pruden, whose farm lies next to that formerly owned by Clark, while repairing a s'one wall chanced to pull away some siones lhat lay agaiqsl a ledge of rocks. To his surprise he found .behind "them a coal that had evidently Inin there for years, but in spite of its partially decayed condition we are informed that it has been positively iden tified as the missing' coat worn by Bowen until the morning of the'murder, hut never since seen. It has been brought to this city to be examined by competent chemists, and if ,chemical analysis should establish the belief how entertained, that ihe coat is stained with blood, the evidence would seem complete. Bowen has been living for some years in Derby, where he aitempled to commit suicide some time ago, but was interfered with in lime to save his life. The Selectmen of Orange, have laken counsel with Ihe Slate’s Attorney on this mailer, and Bowen will be arrested itmnedialely, The wife of Clark, who was somewhat suspected at the lime of complicity in the murder is still living in Orange. After a disgraceful intimacy with a man of half- Indian half-negro blood, she was finally mar ried to him at the unjust request of Ihe au thorities.—New Haven Palladium , Apr. 26. A Scene in Church in Kentucky. —At u meeting in one of “fashionable orthodox churches” in Anderson Coumy Ky„ last week, a clergyman asked for apd obiained a Idler of dismission for - himself and some members of his family. He then sard lhal if any of the brethren had anything to say about him, lo “now declare if, or ever after hold (heir peace.” ' Whereupon another preacher said something lhal was nol henrd by all Ihe congregation, but ihe lie passed Between them. The preacher who called for the letter drew back his fist and struck the other preacher a heavy blow and then com menced kicking him. He kicked him so hard that he demolished his boot. The de fendant being a “notiresistant,” made no de fense, but went before a' magistrate and made complaint. The assailant was fined 810 arid costs, and submitted,'besides, to a |ong lec ture from the Court. A correspondent of the Louisville Democrat, in giving an ac count of the affair, saysi “The pugnacious divine is a good looking man, of fine talents, great pulpit orator, with prepossessing man ners. The fight has raised his standing among his brethren. Some of the members of a neighboring church have sent him word if he will go to their next church meeting and whip their preacher, they will pay the fine thqt is. now agamsThim, and any other one that may be imposed on him.”—Cincin nati Commercial.

His graceful, feeling, manly tribute to.the Puritans, will never be forgotten by those who heard! him at the j Collation o’f lhe American Congregational Union in 1857 ; and his stirring defense of the standard bearers of truth and freedom in the pulpit, made with such entire forgetful ness of name and sect, at the imore recent festival of the Young Wen’s Christian Asso ciation, was one of the finest Efforts of ex temporaneous Therfe was a )[nag netic influence in his sincerity,!his earnest ness, his charity, his Ch’rist-likej devotion to love, and truth, and duty, which instantly pervaded the hearts of an audience, and quickened them info sympathy with the 'ker ! 1 speaker. j j In the private intercourse qf life he mani fested the meek and loving spirit of a disci ple ; so that in whatever circle you might meet him, could you forget the| associations of name, you would-known him not as an Episcopalian but as a Christian. And yet, he never concealed his preference for the worship and order of the Episcopal Church, when then occasion called foriahy expression upon that point. i | Willi a womanly genlleness|of spirit,. Mr. Tyng combined a degree pyirmness and 1 conscientiousness in the discharge of duty. Nothing could swerve him from the right ; neither intimidation from enemies nor re monstrance of friends, nor personal iriconve nience and loss, could dissuade him from his own conscience dictated. Id a city pre-etni-' nenl for its commercial subserviency to the slave-power, and in a Church; which boasts its superiority to all extraneous agitations, he proclaimed the wrongs of the oppressor; and when for this he was called upon by the vestry to vacate the pulpit, he Tell back upon the.

The Church of the Epiphany, from Which Mr. Tyng withdrew, was the home tifjhis childhood, built up by his father’s prayers and labors ; its communipn embraced many of (befriends of his youth; its position was inviting and commanding; but he was willing to sacrifice every personal consideration, for a point ol principle and duty; ' The moral effect of this movement upon'the formalism and conservatism of Philadelphia was weighty and startling.

No plan | ( matured and presented that I have seen, ya it .behooves every republican to be posted and ready to give an opinion on the subject at any lime; There is one unipo, and but one, to which the lover of freedom cannot object; viz;, come one, come all, though Forney and Douglass it be, and Join the republican ranks; all who are opposed to modern democracy, i.

No other union can he effected without compromising justice ; without dishonor and disastrous re sults lo lhe party. Are these lovers of free, dom and equal rights, haters .of slavery and its nefarious workings, willing td compromise their honor and fidelity, and the high princi ples of their party, simply for an increased certainty of gaining the coming election? It is the extremes! folly! As well might Christianity sanction idolatry for an increase of her numbers, or temperance countenance drunkenness for a triumph of its principle!. What though fusion were the only means of success this fall? will the parly gain any lasting benefit, any vantage ground ? linpos. sible 1 Rather suffer defeat for a season,the final triumph will be the more gtorioos!— The principles of the republican parly, ate the unchanging principles of right. They embrace the true sentiments of the declare tion of independence, and contain all that can make a nation happy, intelligent and no ble. For rto higher rights and privileges than the Philadelphia platform of ’56 advo cates, the immortal fathers of the revolution nobly fought and gloriously died. A richer and brighter inheritance never was left to children, than those noble patriots bequeathed to us. And shall we show ourselves base and degenerate enough to abandon and com. promise those principles that carried our fors fathers through an eight years nf doubtful war, and brought them out triumphantly vie torious, merely for “the Increased assurance of gaining one election? Vain, foolish, re veiling ! The day of compromise is passed. It has had its run, and now behold the result. It's SVst offspring is found in the constitution of the United States, in yielding to slavery under the most trying and difficult circum stances, such as the nation has not seen since, or ever will see again, and the wisdom of which is extremely doubtful. The second child is the line, known as the Missouri Com promise line, wickedly, yet reluctantly enter ed into by the north, as a sacred compact, and by -which a large territory, by nature freedom’s dominion, was yielded up to slat ery, with all its blasting, debasing influences. This compact, however sacred it was lo have been held at its formation, has been rudely broken, and in other territory, where liberty of right and compact should rule supreme, shameful and hell-born scenes too vile lo be repeated have been transacted, as is knova to every republican, in the history of Kan sas. Another legitimate offspring of compro mise, is that most detestable of all laws, the Fugitive Slave law. Where is the lover of freedom who would spend his life, bis all, pro bono publico, who does not detest the henious and satanic act, on our national sis'- ules, which gives lo the kidnapper,and his more noble blood-hound, ample power to range the tree north and bear away lo bod- ; age and lifelong misery, all, who perchance have curling hair or brunette complexion.- Republicans of Pennsylvania!
