lECOMrTON.
Thcpassago oftheact for the admi5sionoG
Kansas unaer the Lccompton Constitution
has been delayed in the House by the sub
|stitutiou Of the Crittcudcn amendment
which was first introduced in the Senate
10y Senator Critteuden, Of Ken tuolly and
lost as altered by Mr. Montgomery Of
IPa. The vote was first taken on the ques-
/ tion Of the rejection Of the Lecomp-
ton Constitution which was negatiy-
ed by large majority. The Crit
tenden-Montgom ry amendment, or sub.
,stitution was then offered and carried by o
vote of l2O to 10 Upon its being refer
red back to the Senate, it was rejected by
about the same yo te by which the origin
al bill passed, and returned to the House
in its original form.
The House will probably wrangle over it
forsomc time, but the bill will most likely
pass. The friends of the administration
and indeed all the true friends Of the
country and of the interests of Kansas
feel that it is their duty to admit her as
State at the earliest possible Period. Pub
lie sentiment in that Territory call loudly
for admission under any Constitution
and the vote on the unqualified rejection
of the Kansas bill in the House, shows
that the majority of that body in favor Of
immediate admission is overwhelming
Than this no better evidence of the wis
dom of the policy of the President, re-
commencing the speedy recognition of
Kansas as State, is wanting. Even the
New York Tribune does not claim the
adoption of the Crittenden Montgomery
substitute as a Republican triumph. While
the Republican party outside of Congress,
make rather wry faces about the terms on
which the substitute proposes to admit
Kansas which in fact gives the President
almost unlimited power and discretion in
the matter. The coalition between the
Republicans, Americans, anti-Lecomp-
ton Democrats, has about eliminated, and
= it is not likely that they will all vote to-
gether again on any question in relation
to the admission Of Kansas

: cent conhagatiun that swept a portion of
