State shall be entitled tc. one Representative
in the House of Representatives.
The report is somewhat voluminous, and the
reporter can only give small extract from
the close.
1.-The committee do net approve the ordi
nance accompanying the Constitution, and
report against its allowance; that they do not
regard 1t as any part of The Constitution, nor
will Its approval or disapproval by Congress
affect the validity of that Constitution, if the
State be admitted into tie Union as recon.
mended.
SIN conclusion this committee ia of opinion,
that when a Constitution, of newly formed
State, created out of our own Territory, is pre-.
sented to Congress for admission into the
Union, it is no part of tbs duty or privilege OF
Congress either to approve or disapprove the
Constitution itself, and it various provisions,
or any of them, but simply to see whether it be
the legal Constitution Of the new State, whether
it be republican in form, Sghether the bounda-
ries proposed be admissible, and whether the
number of inhabitants be, sufficient to Justify
independent State organization.
believing that the paper presented is the
legal Constitution of Kansas, that it is repub
lican in its form, that the boundaries proposed
by it are admissible, and conceding the sufh
cheney of its population, tie committee recon-
mend the admission of K9nsas into the Union
upon the Constitution presented, and report a
bill accordingly"

BEWARE OF FRAUDS

1t is we'll known that an emissary of the
Administration has been dispatched to this Ju-
dicia district, and has been perambulating the
County, to do the bidding of his masters
Let our Republican friends be on their guard
against all manner of Frauds and Forgeries.
This agent is the unscrupulons and desperate
emiSsary of an Administration which has con-
niYed and winked at the most Infamous out
RACES upon the ballot-box in Kansas. The
truest recommendation to its favor is the depth
of political prostitution which can be reached.
In the present case, this agent is an applicant
for Office, and hopes by virtue of his services
here to attain it. Beware, then of False
hoods uttered on the eve of election Be-
ware of lying handbills, circulating the most
Infamous reports Beware of circulars and
handbills with the names of men attached
who do not countenance the schemes now on
foot to bring out a candidate for President
Judge, but are the warm supporters of Judge
WLMoT! Let the frauds and outrages in
Kansas be steadily borne in mind by our Re-
publican friends. when the schemes and machi-
nations of this agent of corrupt administra-
tiOn shall come to light.
