TIE ADMISSION OF KANSAS INTO THE UNION
IS free State, is not likely, according to al &C.
counts. to be effected at the present session Of
Congress. 1t can only be effected by compromise,
involving concessions on either side of the contro
versy, which at present there seems to be no dis.
position to make. The Washington correspondent
of the NewY ork Journal of Commerce, says:
The next thing to be done by the Republicans
is to take mp the Senate Kansas Bill and amend it
by adding thereto the Dunn provso which restores
the Missouri Compromise The BILLS to be passed
this week with this amendment and thus the Re-
publican majority will throw on the Senate the
responsibility of the failure of any movement for
the adjustment of the Kansas difficulties. The
Republicans insist upon the repeal Of the repeal
ing clause of the Kansas Nebraska bill, allowing
year for the removal Of slaves who may now be
in the Territory of Kansas. OF course, the SEN
ate will refuse to concur with the House, and the
session will terminate, leaving Kansas in its pre-
sent condition, and to make matters worse, with.
out any appropriations for the support Of the ter
ritorial government. For learn that the Re-
publicans have determined, among other things
that these appropriations shall not be made"
