A day or two since Gov. Denver was
Conversing with a prominent Free State
man in regard to Calhoun. The Gover
nor had just received a letter from the
“Dictator,’’reiterating his former assertions,
that he would not give certificates to any
State officers until the Calhoun Constitu
tion should pass Congress; and that he
should not refuse any returns, regular on
their face, which may be sent up to that
time. The Free State man remarked;
“I suppose that simply mean*, that in’
case the constitution is defeated, Calhoun :
don’t care who is elected :but that if it shall \
pass Congress, be designs to give the cer-i
liticates to the pro-slavery candidates.”— I
Gov. Denver replied; “That is undoubted
ly kis intention." The Governor must
place a high estimate on the other friends
of the Administration h< re 1
where the ‘‘moderate’’ men stood.
A lively discussion came up in the
House, a day or two since, upon the To
peka Constitution and government. One
of the members from Linn county, a sec
tion where ihe-puldrc fcc’nog is very con
servative and moderate, Was opposing anv
immediate action. “But,” said he, •■if the
LecomptonCciistitutii n cfoespass Congress,
aud the [•ro-slavery ofikefs und< r it, elec
ted by fraud, attempt to act, my constitu
cutswid be found ready,to a man,to stand
up to the Topeka Government, till the bat
tomlcs• j.di freezes over !.
The Act “ab 'lisbiug and prohibiting
slavery,” has passed the Council, with
“■me sight modifications, to which th-
House will probably agree. Crayon.
