and Senators Bgler and Gwn were in conference
With the President at the time.
The Constitution will be sent to Congress on
Tuesday, with a special message, recommending
the admission of Kansas the best mode of pacif-
cation, and recognizing the Lecompton contriyance
as the legitimate expression OF the will Of the peo
pie.
Clarkson brought no authentic intelligence con
corning the result of the elections. He states that
the vote of Delaware Crossing Precinct, received
after the count by Gov. Denver and the officers of
the Legislature, gave Leavenworth County to the
PrO-Sla'ery party, and thus secured the Legisla-
ture to it, He also says that the vote OF Coffee
County received afterward, but before the semi
official publication, elected the Free-Stste officers,

here. Martin was commissioned BY Secretary
Thompson exclusively.
The Administration counts four or FIVE majority

favor.
