1t seems to be understood among politicians mere
that the Kansas farce is about being orought 10
close by a bill which will be introduced INTO the So
nate to morrow or next day, by Mr. Pugh OF Ohlo
This bill will provide for the immediate admission OF
Kansas as State into the Union, under the Lecomp
ton Constitution Thus far it satisfies the demands Oh
MIR. Buchanan and his friends Then it provides fur
Their that the first Legislature after the complete or
panization of the State shall submit to vote OF
the people of the State whether the slavery clause as
proposed by the Lecompton Convention snail
be added to the Constitution, OF whlch, at pre-
sent it forms no part The bill provides also
that the first or any subsequent Legislature
NAV submit to vote of the people whether
thew will call a Convention to alter or amend the
whole Constitution This seems to meet fully the de-
msnds of Senator Douglas and his friends, and the
impression is that this bill will meet general approval
and soon become law; that by the lst June next
the Senators and Representatives from the State OF
snsas may be in their seats here OF course the Dill
wines out the elections held on the 2lst December
and to-day in Kansas and fixes day for the election
of state officers The Objectionable parts OF the Or
dnance (which ia not part Of the Constltutlon WIZ
sso be stricken out and all the privileges granted to
other States on their admission will BIZ awarded to
Kansas. Let US then hope that the end OF this im-
broglio is at hand. hAPPHAHsoCh'
