UTAH APPLYING FOR ADMISSION AS STATE INTO
TIE USIoN.-The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Post states that Mr.. Bernhesel delegate
from Utah, has presented constitution framed in
convention of delegates of the people of that Terri
tory, to the House Committee Territories with
the request that Utah be admitted into the Union as
State. The convention framing this constitution
was held in the spring of 1856, and sentto Wash
ington by Mr.. Samuel Smith. one Of the elders ap-
pointed for that purpose. Upon his arrival in that
city, and making known the object Of his visit, he
was advised by leading Democrats to put off his ap
plicaton for the admission of Utah State as the
discussion of the subject in Congress would involve
the institution Of polygamy, and embarrass the
Democratic party before the people in the Presden-
tial election For this he did not make known
the object Of his mission The constitution is silent
on the questions Of slavery and polygamy, leaving
the way open to sanction both institutions by amend
ment in the event OF admission into the Union. The
Committee on Territories have thus far taken no
action on the subject.
