Why, then, under these circumstances should
abandon my own bill The honorable Committee on
Territories have shown marked attention, by be-
slowing some criticisms upon that bill. They INFORM
the Senate that the boundaries of the State of Kansas
assigned by the bill differ from the boundaries asgneu
by the Topeka Constitution The explanation Is
simple one. Ny bill was drawn before the Topeka
Constitution had re ached the Senate-certainy before
had reached ne. To avoid all question on the subject
Of boundaries adopted those wh;h were assigned IN
the bill which had been reported by the Committee on
Territories.
Agdn, the learned ComiQee express doubt in their
report whether my bill is framed so as to admit the
State of KaIsas under the Topeka Counstitutlon.
have only to FAY in reply that the bill proposes that the
State of Kansas shall be admitted immediately. The
htate Of Kansas certainly has no other Constitution
than the Topeka oDe and the bill, in form, rs, mutds

place in the COnfederacy. These, Sir, are uninpor-

far in its concessions to the friends Of Free iom in

permits the people Of Kansas TO Come into the Union
with such population as they may have on the 18th Of
July next, instead Of obging them to wait until they
shall have population of ninety thousand four
hundred and twenty souls. 1t seems, a. least, also to
waive the previous proposition of the Committee on
Territories, Of On appropriation for extraordinary

First however, inquire what substantial objection
lies against my own bll There is ory one which is
now seriously insisted upon, which s that the forms
| tion and adoption of the Topeka Constitution were
the acts, not Of the whole people, but Of political
psHy-a portion of the people Of Kansas Only. The
honorable Senator from Georgia says that the Consti
tuition received only seven hundred votes. 1t is tr1e
