A, PEELLE, of Randolph BUPERINTENDENT PUBLIC INSTRUCTION ~ JOHN YOUNG, of Marion. ! TheDeed isDone:. = ° The swindle upon a swindle (English Lecompton) has passed both houses of Gongress.. £ra This result has been macked by the desertion and betrayal of ‘some ten professedly Anti-Lesompton Democrats in the House=-who under cover of a cheat or. subterfuge,. have fled over ib: tlie ‘candle-box’ interest of the Administraton. Ania thing which they dared not stand upand face squarely, thcy]‘ Hlope now to' accomplish under a feigned pretext, a scheme to cheat—ene thni| will bear one interpretatiom; and at the same time Bear-a dozor: diferent interpretations” just aswell..' This is tho ‘! kind of legisliztion that seems toLe the ! most prevalent,. and.the: artificer who' canprove-tHemost ingenious, in covering ‘l overof a fraud, is the one who expects | the most hountiful rewards. sl

Eet tlie people look at this: scheme | in questicn. Here is the Izccolnptoui Constitution which has recciw'Ctl‘ only about 2,500 legal votes in its favor.—. Afterwards by provisions of the I'ree Htate Legislature it was submitted fol thie'people and a vote of over 10,000 recorded aeainst it. ' o - In view of this, however, the President and liis Cabinet and seven-cigl‘ftjhs l} Pof his'arty have used everyseffort in their power to forcethis detestable thing: upon the people. Not succecding in | that by force, they hope now to: do. it by fraud ‘and-artifice. By the aid of | Mr. English and a few other professedI popular severeignty Demoerats; they . jisppsseda bill not to refer the L |

eompttn; Constitution to the peopls, but a Land Ordinance for a large amount of jmblic lands, and if they reject the public lands—why then it shall be ta: Ren that they reject the ‘Lecompton @onstitution;- but if they vote in favor of the land, then it shall be- Le¢ompton pure and simple without any vote wpon

If not they have not got through with Buchanan’ and his followars by any means..

Is;there any premium here offered.against ‘you, free laboring men of Noble County? Are you less %n half a man when compared with the women wh prers of the South? Mr. Buchanan and a majority of your Congress say so. Will you answer them at tie’ polls, whetherryou are willing to accept their estimate of you as true: Look at whatever phase of this law which has just been passed and it is shocking and degrading to any one who has a soul in his bosom. - ~ The clection on this land’ ordinance is to be eontrolled by Buchanan’s majority board, and thiey. will be instructed not to reject any amount of: frauds which niay be perpetrated providingzmy one can be procured to certify to them, and there has heen Ruffians enough. in Kansas, to do any amount of this work heretofore, and there are enough: to.do it again.. Calrgalle : Messrs.. Douglas, Broderick and Stuart in. tHo-Scnate very justly denounco‘ this:law more infamous because-ofi ity ! bribes and threats than Leeompton itself. There are also some 12 or 13 true | Anti-Lecempton Déemoerats in. “the House.. ;

The people of Kansas will spdm:,hnd defy the corrupt inducéments of thik bill. ' And we believe that they will not allow conspirators, ‘come from where they may, to enslave them either by bribes, punishment or frauds.. For.. bearance sometinieo ceases to be a virs tue. SR

By Defense.—l should not suppose thata knife such as spoken of would be likely to cut off arib. 1f the knife had fell just right he might have fell upon_ it,.and. broken or cut off. his rib. J.D.

~ Cross-Examined—l am certain.as to the langnage.® 1 was subpenaed here on 'the part of the defense: I live inithe neighberitood of tlic affray, have known the defendant for 6ver a year. I supposed when not under the influence of Liquor he was a peaceable man; when under the influence of lignor he is rather quarrelsome:. : ‘ Fred Akers—Peoplt dbmot say that Hill is:qnarrelsome.. - L Dr Reed called by defanse—Mr Hill’s right hand was cut. It was cut across the inside of the hand.

Cross-Examined—Tl had a:littie dif: ficulty with Keefer, I might have been wrong or hic might havebeen: I. have heard some say that he is quarrelsome. I have heardMn Davis say so, he is here.

Mr. Tucker—l had a conversation '.‘with} Mr. Shultz about the affair soon after it occurred. * He stated to x#')e ‘that he considered both were 'to blame I anderstood him to say that Keefer seat for Hill, that Kecefer ordered h?m out of the heuse, that Mr. Hill turned to go, that Keefer followed him up, and that he had L. dowm before he (Shultz) turned to go for "17}‘101‘11pson.

The Dr here presented o chart representing the human skeleton, deseribing from. it the location of the spleen, also where and liow the xib might be divided. An oblique ‘Plow would more easily -than.a blow square acrossthe rib.

et BY TELEGRAPH: The English Conference Bill passed by . " both Rouses. "~ = ° : - 'WasniNaToN; April 80. The English Counference Bill passed both Houees of Congress this afternoon. e j e SENATE.—Mr. Doolittle offered a resolution thata wagon road be constructed from Fort Benton to the navigable waters of the Colorado river at Wallawalla. Referred to the Millitary Committee.- e Mr. Toombs reported from.the Committee of Conference on the Deficiency Bilil that the two Houses were unable to come.to an agreement. : ’ Mr. Houston’s resolation secking to establish a protectorate over Mexico was taken up. Mr. Mason opposed it and moved to lay it on the table. Motion

agreed to. : b ; © The report of the Conference Committee on Kansas was then taken up. - Mr. Broderick said after the matter had been so ably discussed, he would not make a lengthened speech. - lle would vote against the conference bill for several reasons. The most patent. of which was that Kansas- eould not come into the Union as a free State during the comtinuance of the power. of the present administration. Kansas has a populatiton of 85,000 now and if she does not accept Lecompton she must wait five or six years for the requisite population to entitle her to repre-

Ase - = 3 objectionable to him than this Conference substitute. . : ; ~ Mr. Doolittle, of Wisconsin, read from the Secretary of Gov. Geary's his- | tory of Kansas, to show, in reply to the remarks of Mr.. Pugh, yesterday, that the population.had diminished from the deeds of violence committed. |

- Mr. Pugh replied after which Mr. Seward. took the floor. He objected to the Conférence report, because it presented a false-issue to the people. The true question at issue. 1s the snbmission of the constitution direct to-the | people.. The question: of public lands | hag nothing to do with that, inasmuch .as lands are the dowry of all new States The land question does not occupy one line of the 1800 quarto pages of the Kansas Debate.. It, therefore is a feign-' ed issue. = The-question/of numbers e equally newy dating only from the Cd’n-.| ference, viz: that Kaipsas has enough population for a slavg.State, and just half. enough for a fre¢ State. I'urther, he objected.to. the .bill becanse it bears. equivocation on its face. 1t purports ‘to be a submission of her dowry, but. it. submits the Lecompton constitution to the people, and'is-so regarded by Democratic presses. Thus indirectness and equivocation arc on the bill, and double entendres in legislation are an immorality. = Moreever, iP'yow make a slave barrier between this latitude of 46, you: interpose a barrier to progress more insurmountable than the Rocky Mountaing, or the Sierra Nevada..' 1t amused him when lie heard patriotic men: talk of removing the Capitol. If you confine slavery to her legitimate limits, the capital of this: nation. may remain, and be the capital of an empire that may grasp the pole and the equator. No such destiny awaits it, if. you separate by a slave barrier the Atlantic free. States from the Pacific free States.— Further, this bill is nothing but Le-| compton, Lecompton! with a variation. you toss a-coin and bid Kansas cry “ea- | gle,” or “lii)efl;h‘ig.ff.} I£. she says “eagle” | you give her slavery; if the effigy “liberty,” you give her slayery still.. , What thinks the Senator from Pennsylvania. representing the first free- State; the Senator from California whose State was saved by. efforts other than his ;— and the Senator from Indiana? But| they hHave another question. to settle| with their people atf}lbme;} What an- | swer will they. give te this proposal ‘which Jeaves fon%ywthé semblance, not the choice of liberty? A. friend here | asks—What will tho people of New| Jersey say? He could himself answer because the blood of the men who hazard- | «ed their lives and means for his liberty,| fowed throngh bis veins. ~Ho knows | tho bluo.hill of New Jersey will - swer that the votes given here for Le- | compton will be the last slave votes| cast for the next mg«:xs!

he said that the fgh not more thick and cloudy- than the %ifits\ of the departed Governors of: ansas who attempted to give correct returns. He had no confidence in the President; as an element of that beard. ‘He had expected that some one would: cry “Shame!” _that he defatmeds the President, but he donsidered that once ‘men in Virginia cried “Shame” on-Pat—-rick Henry. Men were not wantm%.m ; Rome to cry “Shems” on Cato, and they were no ffiends of liberty who, in Sen« ates fear to oppose Kings or Presidents. He went on to speak of the Dbill under its aspect of compromise, saying it offered very little.freedom and a great deal’ of slavery. S : Here Mr: Bigler. announced that tHe: bill had passed the House. . Considerable sensation was manifestedin the gal--" leries and on the floor.” = e Mr. Seward resumed, saying that the: amnouncement caused him no discour-: agement. 1t was of little matter, pracetically, whether it was’ the last defeat ox first victorys.

The gentlemans from Georgia, (Steplens)’ said»flée-Con’.-’ stitution was not to be submitted; and! the pentleman from Indiana (English) by his silence - acquiesced in that view: —therefore he would now cooperate with the friends of the measure’andi vote for the previous question. .~ { - Mr. Camnpbell of Ohio said that Hig: colleague, Mr. Cox, at the commence-~ ment of: the session: took the banner of’ popular sovercignty in hand and triumphantly defended ‘it; but now,. juws fall view of vietory he beats a retreat. - M.
