the fullest assurance that the Senate Kansas

about the time Of its passage. The Critten-

question now is simply, shall Kansas be ad-
mitted under the Lecompton constitution, or
shall she wait until she has sufficient popu-
lation to entitle her to become State? There
is no possible contingency to revive "bleed,
