Lecompton South.
The following resolution is from a Kentucky paper, giving an account of the State Convention of the American party recently held at Frankfort:
"Resolved, That the recent course of our distinguished fellow citizen and Senator, the Hon. J. J. Crittenden, as well as that of the Hons. Humphrey Marshall and W. J. Underwood, in reference to the admission of Kansas into the Union under the Lecompton Constitution, meets our hearty and unqualified approbation, and they deserve the thanks of every patriot and lover of republican institutions for the noble stand they have taken in defense of popular rights and in behalf of truth and justice, in opposition to fraud and injustice."
Here is a feather clipped from the Memphis Eagle:
"If J. J. Crittenden is a Black Republican, there are ten in the South of this political faith to one attached to the fallen fortunes of that Free Soil Federalist, James Buchanan. The country indorsed Mr. Crittenden's substitute for the Lecompton swindle, and it didn't indorse the President."
