son ere this. The correspondent Of the st.

Col. Delahay, by whom it was put into the
hands of Gen. Cass, who will present it to the
Senate.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Seward in the

mission of Kansas into the Union, entities the
new State to two Senator's and one Repre-
sentative in Congress, on express condition
that the people of Kansas shall never inter-
fere with the primary disposal of the public
lands within that territory. 1t provides also
for the submission to the people of Kansas of
the following propositions. That two sections
in every township shall be set apart for a
school fund that seventy-two sections shall
be set apart for the support of a State Uni
v%ersity that ten entire sections be devoted
to the erection and completion Of public build
ings at the seat Of government that a num-
Der of salt springs, not exceeding twelve in
number, with six adjoining sections Of land,
be granted for the use Of the State and
that ) per cent OF the net proceeds of all
public lands in the State sold by the United
States, shall be devoted to public improve
ments.
