the result would be precisely the same. II,
only difference in point Of fact is, that til.
object would have been much sooner attain ed
and the pacitication of Kansas more speedil,
effected, had 1t been admitted a. State dur
ing the last session OF Congress
Nv recommendation, however, for the i'm
mediate aimissi Of Kansas, failed 20 tno,-
the app-0Ha iop Of Congress. They deemed
