Who Wants to Blow the Bugle of Kansas.—The St. Louis Democrat, one of the most vehement Black-Republican papers in the Union, advises the people of Kansas to reject the Lecompton Land Ordinance, as amended by Congress, for the reason that, if they wait, they will get twenty millions more acres of land than is proposed by the late Kansas adjustment from the next Congress, which it predicts will be Black-Republican. In other words, that peculiarly honest party, through its organs, offers Kansas four times as much land as is usually given to new States, if she will reject the Lecompton Constitution. This ought to shut up the mouths of the Black Republicans about "bribery."
