South in Congf sss more clearly shown thesr god
tai.h and their determination 10 do IS they would
be done BIZ than IN their course in relation 10 the
admission Of new -sIayeholdng States. Min
nesota presents herself for admissions Oregon is at
the door Nebraska, New Mexico Washington, Ar
IONA, and Dacotah all destined to be free, are on
the way; and yet, though Kansas with ! Gonstitu-
ton legally and properly formed, is kept back and
kept out by faction and treason the representatives
Of the South still adhere to the policy Of " the faith
err, and vote as promptly for the admission Of
slaveholding as Of saveholding States. They know
that the power Of their section is waning and that
they will soon be in a hopeless minority yet they
feel that that caLnot release them from the obga-
ton to do right.
Minnesota is q free State. and therefore the black
Republicans and Douglasites can detect no flaw in
her action in preparing for admission but Kansas
presents herself with Constitution recognizing
slavery, and forthwith their ingenuity is taxed to
find reasons for repulsng and excluding her from
the Confederation -.s.s..
We state facts apparent to all.
We copy the following from the proceedings of
the Senate of Wednesday last:
ADMISSION MINNEsorA.-The bill for the ad-
mission of the State of Minnesota into the Union
was read third time, and the question stated
on its passage.
Mr.. BELL made few remarks in relation to alien
suffrage and the rights Of the several States fix the
qualifications of electors
Mr.. MASON replied to some of the suggestions Of
Mr.. BELL. By his vote to admit Minnesota into the
Union he wished to be understood expressing
opinion in reference to the provisions of her
st,tutien with regard to suffrage.
Several other senators briefly assigned the reasons

tucky-l1.
After the consideration of executive business,
The Senate adjourned"
In Thursdays proceedings Of the House we find
the following:
"TnE ADMISSION OF M1NNEsorA.-A message was
received from the Senate informing the House that
that body had passed bill for the admission Of
Minnesota into the Union, and asking its concurrence
thereto"
Immediately following this we find the House pro-
ceedings on the admission of Kansas, the House ad-
herring to the Crittenden-Montgomery amendment,
which amounts to rejection of the State.
The House will no doubt concur in the bill from
the Senate to admit Minnesota; but Kansas will be
remanded to renewed strife and civil war. What is
TO be the end Of all this inequality and injustice
Mr. Calhoun declared in his last great speech in the
Senate that the abolition agition would "go to its
end" What will that end be?
