Last night, in Mozart Hall, Mrs. Leer Stosh! delivered the fourth of the course of lectures in aid of the "Shirt-sewer- s and Seamstresses' Union." Her and ienee was Tery large, and frequently expressed its appreciation of her remarks. learn that woman's rights and human rights are the same thing, and that all that has been meant by it is that woman, as a human being, ought to take rank with other human beings, and that in the range of human duties, from the highest to the lowest, whatever was fit to be done by anybody, might be done by woman, if she could, worthily and well, and should never be out of her sphere. The sphere of wo man, is snouia do remembered, was a - thing arbitrary and fictitious, made now by thi3 thing and now by that, and differ- ing in different countries and ages. Good men and good women had been wont to believe that the things which were right and proper if they were done by men, were not right and proper if they were done by women, just as though the sex and not the motive that lies behind the act gave a moral character to it Eat the true sphere of woman, if we let her have fair clar. would be found to be just the highest, and the noblest, and the best thfishe could work out, and her sphere so filled would cot make her less womanly, less worthy to wear the high vocation God gave her as woman, and mother, and wife. But some might say the sphere of wo- man was made by nature, and not custom. Let them interrogate all time and see. Here woman is admitted to worship with men. Among other nations we found that men shut her out from their places of worship, saying that neither women, nor dogs, nor any other unclean animal should be allowed therein. There she is out of her sphere. In India she dare not eat in the presence of her husband. . There, also. is sue ous oi ner spnere. Here she is out of her sphere in being denied the elective firanchise. In the hour of the sufferings of our fathers, when the war of the Eevo-lutio- n began, the fact was universally pro- claimed that the power to rule is in the Jieople, and that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the gov- erned. For this principle our fathers pledged fortune, life and honor. Then, caving achieved so much for themselves, speaking better words than they knew how to act, they turned round to make slaves out of black people, and to deny to women the right of suffrage. When women have asked for the elective franchise again and again the "lords of creation" have told taem, "wny do you want it ? we will pro- tect you," with the most patronizing air. Doubtless multitudes of them meant kindly when they said so. But it would be necessary to turn to the record to see what was the protection given them, and whether women should not ask for themselves. In the history of the past it had never been a fact that one class of persona had ever legislated wisely and well for another class. It had been just so of women. Men who called them mothers, sisters, wives men who are law- makers from Maine to Minnesota, had covered the statute books of every State with such laws, that if they were written against men, men with the spirit of man and the right to make war, would be found fighting against them as the Free State people of Kansas are now struggling against those who would deny them the right of suffrage. How, when the ques- tions of freedom were being agitated more wan ever, it was well to ask where is Christian Democracy, and what is the rea- son that the right of suffrage is not granted to women? The man who argued against It because his dislike to have his mother, wife or daughter mingle with rowdies at the polls, must forget that the rowdy is the man left to make the laws to which that mother, wife or sister is to be sub- jected. The self-mad- e and nt man would tell us that women are not competent to exercise the right of suffrage that they didn't know enough. "Well, perhaps he does know something of tho ticket he holds in his hand and, per- haps, he don't. And yet, whilst therms denied to his daughters, who have been educated in all the accomplishments that money can purchase, the intelligence necessary to cast a vote, go down among tne Irish foreigners everywhere, who don't know the difference between A, B and C, and could not read the word "vote" if they tried, and thesa ar all They know all about it I Then there was t large class of people who had not the power of thinking, who said that it would nnsex Woman; that she would be Woman no longer; that her household and her children would be neglected. Eidicule and sneers were thus resorted to when no Jgument could be employed. But if the polk were such bad places that Woman could cot co there. than w tv.-- , , . place where they could vote by them- selves, and if there were decent men to vote, let them vote where the women did, but let the rowdies vote by themselves. As long as any white human biped of 21 years of age had the right of suffrage, it was not fair to say that women were not 35K aV0T JS; ?fc came m from man beenlaid in the arms of a mother whose love neither time nor absence could ever alienate, to say she should not have a equalnght to the exercise of the auf-trag- e. .The man dishonored his mother who said that women, In order to vote, would forget her household duties and neglect her children. Mrs. Stoxe now caaa to consider some of the results of l wonun has aot granted to sunrage. If a woman tskedhsr husband by what right he de- nied her legal equality, he could only say, I have a stronger muscle ; we have made the Place, If you have KiS ff PPty, alKug? taxation and reprobation ZlJTn ePs 111 ws case of wo- - JQla TAen ? poor woman, who has been taught to keep silence, but is startled by the position taken against her, asks Jhj in her case representation should not follow taxation as well as in his. To this, he states further that the idea that taxa- tion and representation are inseparable, when it concerns half the human familv a new-fanel- notion which h v.- - heard her broach, but is only put forward ry a few factious women who are seeking lor notoriety, and who are wishing to dis- turb the order of things. But suppose she fays sha declines paying the taxes ? He ays : "Know you not we have the power tax you, and yoa must pay." And thousands of women tea their taxes gath- ered from them, whilst the truth is held op so beautiful and so radiant by those who exact the tax : "Taxation and repre- sentation are inseparable," - And so says o. , . bwji vv no exclaims, nrou un-e- x yourself 1" Bat suppose the poor wo- man says: "What next, if I am to be taxed without, representation ? What if I change my relation as a single woman and become a wifa V "Oh," : says the man, "that is a new partnership; and there ii but one partner ; the husband and wife are but on person and Jim that one 1 Laughter. Ee puts' his finger on the Pss3g3 la Blaclskcm which says, "The husband and wife are but one person in law, and tha legal existence of the wife is suspended during the marriage." Sus- pended! She stands there to listen. It may not smother the breath in her body as you do to men when yon suspend them, but het legal existence is suspended. She is merged, and there is Blackstone for it with the Tery same word. . Her legal ex- istence is merged in her husband, and so merged in him that it follows her all the way down to her very grave, and on her tombstone insults her memory by writing there that she is the relict of somebody- - a piece of the man she was merged in. Laughter. "And what becomes of my name ?" Your name shall be my name, says the husband, on the other side. "And the children's name 7 shall be my name, also, says the husband, and I shall be the keep- er of m own body, too. We have legis lated for that. We take care of ourselves and we have the custody of you. If you choose to stay with us, it is very well ; if vou don't we will make you I Laugh tef.l The lecturer went on to discuss the laws regarding woman's control or lack of con- trol over her property, real or personal She made a passing allusion to Kansas, and found fault with the framers of the Free State Constitution for refusing to give women the right of suffrage. Secondary to the raain subject she treated of the social tyranny to which wo- man is subjected, and described her as be- ing either a drudge or a Flora McFlimsey, the one too severely taxed by her labors to arn a living, to have time either to cultivate her own mind or bring up her children judiciously ; the other rendered useless and helpless for herself or her children, by the tyranny of foolish preju- dices under which, as Theodobe Pabkeb said, her only choice is between a husband and nothing, and sometimes it is between two nothings at that ! She asserted the right of woman to suf- frage because of the interests of the race ; inasmuch as men and women always maintain the same level, and when the latter are restrained in the free exercise of all their gifts and faculties, the former will exhibit a corresponding narrowness of in- tellect and laxity of moral principle. In conclusion, she demanded for woman the right to a collegiate education, admission to the bar, the pulpit and theffeench, seats in Congress as representatives, and even the Presidential chair, and expressed her utmost confidence in the beneficence of the result. . : She was warmly applauded. The English Bill! The following is a copy of English's Bill, as it passed Congress and became a law: Whereas, The people of Kansas did, by a convention of delegates, assemble at on the 7th day of November, 18o7, for that purpose, form for themselves a constitution and state uovermnent, which Constitution is Republican ; and, Whereas. At the same time and place said Convention did adopt an ordinance which asserts that Kansas, when admitted as a State, will have an undoubted right to tax the lands within her limits belong- ing to the United States, and proposes to relinquish said asserted right if certain conditions set forth in said ordinance be accepted and agreed to by the Congress of the United States ; and, Whereas, Said Constitution and ordi- nance have been presented to Congress by order of said Convention, and the admis- sion of said Territory into the Union thereon as a State requested ; and, Whereas, Said ordinance is not accepta- ble to Congress, and it is desirable to as- certain whether the people of Kansas con- cur in the changes in said ordinance here- after stated, and desire admission into the Union as a State as herein proposed, there- fore Be it enacted, That the State of Kansas be and is hereby admitted into the Union on an equal footing with the original States in all respects whatever, but upon this fundamental condition pre- cedent, namely : That the question of ad- mission with the following proposition in lieu of the ordinance framed at Lecomp-to- n, shall be submitted to the vote of the people of Kansas, and assented to by them or the majority of the voters voting at an election to be held for-tha- t purpose, namely : That the following propositions be, and the same are hereby offered to said people of Kansas for their free accept- ance or rejection, which, if accepted, shall be obligatory upon the United States and upon the said State of Kansas, to wit : First That sections numbered sixteen and thirty-si- x in every township of public lands in said State, and where either of said sections, or any part thereof, has been sold or otherwise been disposed of, other lands, equivalent thereto, and as contigu- ous as may be, shall be granted to the said State for the nso of schools. Second That seventy-tw- o sections of land shall be set apart and reserved for the use and support of a Stato University, to be selected by the Governor of said State, subject to the approval of the Com- missioner of the General Land Office, and to be appropriated and applied in such manner as the Legislature of the said State may prescribe for the purpose aforesaid, but for no other purpose. Third that ten entire sections of land, to be selected by the Governor of said State, in legal subdivisions, shall be granted to said State for the purpose of completing the public buildings, or for the erection of others at the seat of Govern- ment, under the direction of the Legisla- ture thereof. T Pourth Thai all the salt springs within the said State, not exceeding twelve in number, with six sections of land adjoin- ing, or as contiguous as may be to each, shall be granted to said State for its use, the same to be selected by the Governor thereof, within one year after the admis- sion cf said State, and when so selected, to be used or disposed of on such terms, conditions and regulations as the Legisla- ture shall direct ; Provided, That no salt spring, or land, the right whereof is now vested in any individual or individuals, or which may be hereafter confirm sd or ad- judged to any individual or individuals, shall by this article be granted to said State. Fifth That five per centum cf the pro- ceeds of the sales of all public lands lying within the said State, which shall be sold by Congress after the admission of said State into the Union, after deducting all the .expenses incident to the same, shall be paid to said State, for the purpose of making public roads and internal improve- ments, as the Legislature shall direct; Provided, That the foregoing propositions herein offered to the State of Kansas shall never interfere with the primary disposal of the lands of the United States, or with any regulations Congress may find neces- sary for securing title in said sale to bona fids purchasers thereof, and that no tax shall be imposed on land belonging to the United States, and that in no case shall nt proprietors be taxed higher than resident. Sixth And that said State shall never tax the lands cr property of the United States. - ' : . ... . At said election tha voting shall be by ballot, and by indorsing- - cn his ballot, as each voter may please, "Proposition Ac- cepted," or "Proposition Rejected." Should the majority of votes be cast for "Proposition - Accepted,? the President of the United States, as' soon as the fact Is duly made known to him, shall an- nounce -- the same by proclamation, nd thereafter, and without any turther pro ceedings on the part of Congress, the ad mission cf the State of Kansas into the Union on an equal footing with the origi- nal States, in all respects whatever, shall be complete and absolute ; and said State shall be entitled to one member in the House of Representatives in the Congress of the United States, until the next census be taken by the Federal Government. But should the majority of the rotes be cast for proposition "Rejected," it shall be deemed and held that the people of Kan- sas do not desire admission into the Union with said Constitution, under the condi- tions set forth in said proposition; and in that event Vte people of said Territory are hereby authorized and empowered to form for themselves a Constitution and State Government by Hie name of the State of Kansas, according to tne x ederal Consti- tution, and may elect delegates for that pur- pose whenever, and not before, it is ascer- tained, by a census duly and legally taken, that he population of said Territory equals the ratio of representation required for a member of the House of Representatives of the United States; and whenever thereafter such Delegates shall assemble in conven- tion, they shall first determine by a vote whether it is the wish of the people of the proposed State to be admitted into the Union at that time, and, if so, shall pro- ceed to form a Constitution, and take all necessary steps for the establishment of a State Government, in conformity with the Federal Constitution, subject to such limitations and restrictions as to the mode and manner of its approval or ratification by the people of the proposed State, as they may have prescribed by law, and shall be entitled to admission into the Union as a State under such Constitution thus fairly and legally made, with or with- out Slavery, as said Constitution may pre-crib- e. Sec. 2. And be itfurther enacted, That for the purpose of insuring, as far as possible, that the election authorized by this act may be fair and free, the Governor, United States District Attorney, and Secretary of the Territory of Kansas, and the presiding officers of the two branches of its Legisl- aturethe President of the Council and Speaker of tha House of Representatives, are hereby constituted a Board of Com- missioners to carry into effect the provi- sions of this act, and to use all the means necessary and proper to that end. Any three of them shall constitute a Board, and the Board shall have power and authority to designate and establish precincts for voting, or to adopt those already estab lished ; to cause polls to be opened at such places as it may deem proper in the re spective counties and election precincts of said lerntory; to appoint, as judges of election at each of the several places of voting, three discreet and respectable per- sons, any two of whom shall be competent to act ; to require the sheriffs of the sev- eral counties, by themselves or deputies, to attend the judges at each of the placos of voting, for tha purpose of preserving peace and good order ; or the said Board may, instead of said sheriffs and their deputies, appoint, at their discretion and in such instances as they may choose, other fit persons for the same purpose. The election hereby authorized shall con- tinue one day only, and shall not be con- tinued later that sundown on that day. The Board shall appoint the day for hold ing said election, and said Governor shall announce the same by proclamation, and the day shall be as early a one as is con- sistent with due notice thereof to the peo- ple of said Territory, subject to the provi- sion of this act. The said Board shall have full power to prescribe the time, manner and place of said election, and to direct the time and manner of the returns thereof; which returns shall be made to said Board, whose duty it shall be to an- nounce the result by proclamation, and said government shall certify the same to the President of the United States with- out delay. Sec. 3. And be it further enacted. That in the election hereby authorized, all white male inhabitants of said Territory, over the age of 251 years, who possess the quali- fications which were required by the laws of said Territory for a legal voter at the last general election for a member of the.

Sec. 4. And be it further enacted. That the members of the aforesaid Board of Commissioners, and all persons appointed by them to carry into effect the provisions of this act, shall, before entering upon their duties, take an oath to perform faith- fully the duties of their respective offices; and on failure thereof, they snail be lia- ble and subject to the same charges and penalties as are provided in like cases un- der the Territorial laws. Sed. 5. And be it further enacted, That the officers mentioned in the preceding section shall receive for their services the same compensation as is given for like services under the Territorial laws. Gloomy BefUctions of a dsonionist. The New Orleans Bee of a late date has the following sombre reflections on the result of the recent elections : "Black Republicanism may well shout an exulting pa? an. Connecticut has fol- lowed hard upon New Hampshire, and goto with a rush against slavery ; while, unkindest cut of all, St. Louis, a Southern city of a Southern State, has, at its recent municipal election, reiterated its semi-aboliti- on sentiments by the election of the Free Democratic ticket. Truly, the Kansas measure has proved a disastrous blow to the South. Intended, as its ad- vocates proclaimed, to settle the question of slavery, and quiet agitation, it has gen- erally renewed discord, strengthened free soil, and hopelessly divided the only par- ty that claimed an odor of nationality. . .. "We are afraid that these Spring elec- tions are portents of gloomier tidings here- after. We apprehend that Pennsylvania, and Illinois, and Indiana, which by unri- valled tact and unwearied exertion were saved in 1856 from falling into the Free Soil quagmire, will return to their wallow, and that before the expiration of the pres- ent year every State in the Union, with the possible exception of California, will rally under the victo- rious standard of black republicanism. The South then will be in a certain and absolute minority, and may vainly look to the North for sympathy or succor. When that period arrives, we shall be glad to learn of these who are constantly dinning into our ears their devotion to the Union, what course they propose to pursue? Shall we submit, and trust to the justice or the mercy of the Northern anti-slaver- y men, for the preservation of our rights ? Shall we remain in the Union until an opportunity is presented of finally testing their repeated assurances that no more slave States shall be admitted t Or shall we make preparations for a crisis that seems inevitable, : and taking our stand upon principle, put forth our firm resolve to resist any overt act of aggression ? The time is not distant when these questions may be pertinently asked. In the interim let the Southern nationalists revolve them tt their leisure, for an answer will be shortly required."

hw the 2T. T. Thau.lacy Stent oa the Eight of Women to the Elective

Franchise.Last night, in Mozart Hall, Mrs. Leer

Stosh! delivered the fourth of the courseof lectures in aid of the "Shirt-sewer- s andSeamstresses' Union." Her and ienee wasTery large, and frequently expressed itsappreciation of her remarks.

learn that woman's rights and humanrights are the same thing, and that all thathas been meant by it is that woman, as ahuman being, ought to take rank withother human beings, and that in the rangeof human duties, from the highest to thelowest, whatever was fit to be done byanybody, might be done by woman, if shecould, worthily and well, and should neverbe out of her sphere. The sphere of woman, is snouia do remembered, was a

- thing arbitrary and fictitious, made nowby thi3 thing and now by that, and differ-ing in different countries and ages. Goodmen and good women had been wont tobelieve that the things which were rightand proper if they were done by men, werenot right and proper if they were done bywomen, just as though the sex and not themotive that lies behind the act gave amoral character to it Eat the true sphereof woman, if we let her have fair clar.would be found to be just the highest, andthe noblest, and the best thfishe couldwork out, and her sphere so filled wouldcot make her less womanly, less worthyto wear the high vocation God gave heras woman, and mother, and wife.

But some might say the sphere of wo-man was made by nature, and not custom.Let them interrogate all time and see.Here woman is admitted to worship withmen. Among other nations we foundthat men shut her out from their places ofworship, saying that neither women, nordogs, nor any other unclean animal shouldbe allowed therein. There she is out ofher sphere. In India she dare not eat inthe presence of her husband. . There, also.is sue ous oi ner spnere. Here she is outof her sphere in being denied the electivefiranchise. In the hour of the sufferingsof our fathers, when the war of the Eevo-lutio-n

began, the fact was universally pro-claimed that the power to rule is in theJieople, and that governments derive theirjust powers from the consent of the gov-erned. For this principle our fatherspledged fortune, life and honor. Then,caving achieved so much for themselves,speaking better words than they knew howto act, they turned round to make slavesout of black people, and to deny to womenthe right of suffrage. When women haveasked for the elective franchise again andagain the "lords of creation" have toldtaem, "wny do you want it ? we will pro-tect you," with the most patronizing air.Doubtless multitudes of them meantkindly when they said so. But it wouldbe necessary to turn to the record to seewhat was the protection given them, andwhether women should not ask

for themselves. In the history ofthe past it had never been a fact that oneclass of persona had ever legislated wiselyand well for another class. It had beenjust so of women. Men who called themmothers, sisters, wives men who are law-makers from Maine to Minnesota, hadcovered the statute books of every Statewith such laws, that if they were writtenagainst men, men with the spirit of manand the right to make war, would be foundfighting against them as the Free Statepeople of Kansas are now strugglingagainst those who would deny them theright of suffrage. How, when the ques-tions of freedom were being agitated morewan ever, it was well to ask where isChristian Democracy, and what is the rea-son that the right of suffrage is not grantedto women? The man who argued againstIt because his dislike to have his mother,wife or daughter mingle with rowdies atthe polls, must forget that the rowdy isthe man left to make the laws to whichthat mother, wife or sister is to be sub-jected. The self-mad- e and nt

man would tell us that women are notcompetent to exercise the right of suffrage

that they didn't know enough. "Well,perhaps he does know something of thoticket he holds in his hand and, per-haps, he don't. And yet, whilst thermsdenied to his daughters, who have beeneducated in all the accomplishments thatmoney can purchase, the intelligencenecessary to cast a vote, go down amongtne Irish foreigners everywhere, who don'tknow the difference between A, B and C,and could not read the word "vote" ifthey tried, and thesa ar allThey know all about it I Then there wast large class of people who had not thepower of thinking, who said that it wouldnnsex Woman; that she would be Womanno longer; that her household and herchildren would be neglected. Eidiculeand sneers were thus resorted to when noJgument could be employed. But if thepolk were such bad places that Womancould cot co there. than w tv.-- , , .place where they could vote by them-selves, and if there were decent men tovote, let them vote where the women did,but let the rowdies vote by themselves.As long as any white human biped of 21years of age had the right of suffrage, itwas not fair to say that women were not35K aV0T JS; ?fc came m from man

beenlaid in the arms of a motherwhose love neither time nor absence couldever alienate, to say she should not havea equalnght to the exercise of the auf-trag-e.

.The man dishonored his motherwho said that women, In order to vote,would forget her household duties andneglect her children. Mrs. Stoxe nowcaaa to consider some of the results of

l wonun has aot granted tosunrage. If a womantskedhsr husband by what right he de-

taxation and reprobationZlJTn ePs 111 ws case of wo--JQla TAen ? poor woman, who hasbeen taught to keep silence, but is startledby the position taken against her, asksJhj in her case representation should notfollow taxation as well as in his. To this,he states further that the idea that taxa-tion and representation are inseparable,when it concerns half the human familva new-fanel- notion which h v.- -heard her broach, but is only put forwardry a few factious women who are seekinglor notoriety, and who are wishing to dis-turb the order of things. But suppose shefays sha declines paying the taxes ? Heays : "Know you not we have the power

tax you, and yoa must pay." Andthousands of women tea their taxes gath-ered from them, whilst the truth is heldop so beautiful and so radiant by thosewho exact the tax : "Taxation and repre-sentation are inseparable," - And so says

o. , . bwji vv no exclaims, nrou un-e-xyourself 1" Bat suppose the poor wo-

man says: "What next, if I am to betaxed without, representation ? What ifI change my relation as a single womanand become a wifa V "Oh," : says theman, "that is a new partnership; and thereii but one partner ; the husband and wifeare but on person and Jim that one 1

Laughter. Ee puts' his finger on thePss3g3 la Blaclskcm which says, "The

husband and wife are but one person inlaw, and tha legal existence of the wife issuspended during the marriage." Sus-

pended! She stands there to listen. Itmay not smother the breath in her bodyas you do to men when yon suspend them,but het legal existence is suspended. Sheis merged, and there is Blackstone for itwith the Tery same word. . Her legal ex-

istence is merged in her husband, and somerged in him that it follows her all theway down to her very grave, and on hertombstone insults her memory by writingthere that she is the relict of somebody- -a piece of the man she was merged in.Laughter. "And what becomes of my

name ?"Your name shall be my name, says the

husband, on the other side. "And thechildren's name 7 shall be my name, also,says the husband, and I shall be the keep-

er of m own body, too. We have legislated for that. We take care of ourselvesand we have the custody of you. If youchoose to stay with us, it is very well ;if vou don't we will make you I Laughtef.l

The lecturer went on to discuss the lawsregarding woman's control or lack of con-

trol over her property, real or personalShe made a passing allusion to Kansas,and found fault with the framers of theFree State Constitution for refusing to givewomen the right of suffrage.

Secondary to the raain subject shetreated of the social tyranny to which wo-

man is subjected, and described her as be-

ing either a drudge or a Flora McFlimsey,the one too severely taxed by her laborsto arn a living, to have time either tocultivate her own mind or bring up herchildren judiciously ; the other rendereduseless and helpless for herself or herchildren, by the tyranny of foolish preju-dices under which, as Theodobe Pabkebsaid, her only choice is between a husbandand nothing, and sometimes it is betweentwo nothings at that !

She asserted the right of woman to suf-frage because of the interests of the race ;inasmuch as men and women alwaysmaintain the same level, and when thelatter are restrained in the free exercise ofall their gifts and faculties, the former willexhibit a corresponding narrowness of in-

tellect and laxity of moral principle. Inconclusion, she demanded for woman theright to a collegiate education, admissionto the bar, the pulpit and theffeench, seatsin Congress as representatives, and eventhe Presidential chair, and expressed herutmost confidence in the beneficence ofthe result. . : She was warmly applauded.

The English Bill!The following is a copy of English's

Bill, as it passed Congress and became alaw:

Whereas, The people of Kansas did, bya convention of delegates, assemble at

on the 7th day of November,18o7, for that purpose, form for themselvesa constitution and state uovermnent,which Constitution is Republican ; and,

Whereas. At the same time and placesaid Convention did adopt an ordinancewhich asserts that Kansas, when admittedas a State, will have an undoubted rightto tax the lands within her limits belong-ing to the United States, and proposes torelinquish said asserted right if certainconditions set forth in said ordinance beaccepted and agreed to by the Congress ofthe United States ; and,

Whereas, Said Constitution and ordi-nance have been presented to Congress byorder of said Convention, and the admis-sion of said Territory into the Unionthereon as a State requested ; and,

Whereas, Said ordinance is not accepta-ble to Congress, and it is desirable to as-

certain whether the people of Kansas con-

cur in the changes in said ordinance here-after stated, and desire admission into theUnion as a State as herein proposed, there-fore

Be it enacted, That the State ofKansas be and is hereby admitted intothe Union on an equal footing with theoriginal States in all respects whatever,but upon this fundamental condition pre-cedent, namely : That the question of ad-

mission with the following proposition inlieu of the ordinance framed at Lecomp-to- n,

shall be submitted to the vote of thepeople of Kansas, and assented to by themor the majority of the voters voting at anelection to be held for-tha- t purpose,namely : That the following propositionsbe, and the same are hereby offered tosaid people of Kansas for their free accept-ance or rejection, which, if accepted, shallbe obligatory upon the United States andupon the said State of Kansas, to wit :

First That sections numbered sixteenand thirty-si- x in every township of publiclands in said State, and where either ofsaid sections, or any part thereof, has beensold or otherwise been disposed of, otherlands, equivalent thereto, and as contigu-ous as may be, shall be granted to the saidState for the nso of schools.

Second That seventy-tw- o sections ofland shall be set apart and reserved forthe use and support of a Stato University,to be selected by the Governor of saidState, subject to the approval of the Com-

missioner of the General Land Office, andto be appropriated and applied in suchmanner as the Legislature of the said Statemay prescribe for the purpose aforesaid,but for no other purpose.

Third that ten entire sections of land,to be selected by the Governor of saidState, in legal subdivisions, shall begranted to said State for the purpose ofcompleting the public buildings, or for theerection of others at the seat of Govern-ment, under the direction of the Legisla-ture thereof. T

Pourth Thai all the salt springs withinthe said State, not exceeding twelve innumber, with six sections of land adjoin-ing, or as contiguous as may be to each,shall be granted to said State for its use,the same to be selected by the Governorthereof, within one year after the admis-sion cf said State, and when so selected,to be used or disposed of on such terms,conditions and regulations as the Legisla-ture shall direct ; Provided, That no saltspring, or land, the right whereof is nowvested in any individual or individuals, orwhich may be hereafter confirm sd or ad-

judged to any individual or individuals,shall by this article be granted to saidState.

Fifth That five per centum cf the pro-ceeds of the sales of all public lands lyingwithin the said State, which shall be soldby Congress after the admission of saidState into the Union, after deducting allthe .expenses incident to the same, shallbe paid to said State, for the purpose ofmaking public roads and internal improve-ments, as the Legislature shall direct;Provided, That the foregoing propositionsherein offered to the State of Kansas shallnever interfere with the primary disposalof the lands of the United States, or withany regulations Congress may find neces-sary for securing title in said sale to bonafids purchasers thereof, and that no taxshall be imposed on land belonging to theUnited States, and that in no case shall

nt proprietors be taxed higherthan resident.

Sixth And that said State shall nevertax the lands cr property of the UnitedStates. - ' : . ... .

Gloomy BefUctions of a dsonionist.The New Orleans Bee of a late date has

the following sombre reflections on theresult of the recent elections :

"Black Republicanism may well shoutan exulting pa? an. Connecticut has fol-

lowed hard upon New Hampshire, andgoto with a rush against slavery ; while,unkindest cut of all, St. Louis, a Southerncity of a Southern State, has, at its recentmunicipal election, reiterated its semi-aboliti- on

sentiments by the election ofthe Free Democratic ticket. Truly, theKansas measure has proved a disastrousblow to the South. Intended, as its ad-

vocates proclaimed, to settle the questionof slavery, and quiet agitation, it has gen-erally renewed discord, strengthened freesoil, and hopelessly divided the only par-ty that claimed an odor of nationality. . . .

"We are afraid that these Spring elec-tions are portents of gloomier tidings here-

after. We apprehend that Pennsylvania,and Illinois, and Indiana, which by unri-valled tact and unwearied exertion weresaved in 1856 from falling into the FreeSoil quagmire, will return to their wallow,and that before the expiration of the pres-ent year every State inthe Union, with the possible exceptionof California, will rally under the victo-rious standard of black republicanism.The South then will be in a certain andabsolute minority, and may vainly look tothe North for sympathy or succor. Whenthat period arrives, we shall be glad tolearn of these who are constantly dinninginto our ears their devotion to the Union,what course they propose to pursue?Shall we submit, and trust to the justiceor the mercy of the Northern anti-slaver- y

men, for the preservation of our rights ?Shall we remain in the Union until anopportunity is presented of finally testingtheir repeated assurances that no moreslave States shall be admitted t Or shallwe make preparations for a crisis thatseems inevitable, : and taking our standupon principle, put forth our firm resolveto resist any overt act of aggression ? Thetime is not distant when these questionsmay be pertinently asked. In the interimlet the Southern nationalists revolve themtt their leisure, for an answer will beshortly required." "
