Admission of Kansas

so tar as the Senate is concerned
the long agony is over, and Kansas
is to be admitted under the Leeomp-
ton Constitution. Whether or moi
the South is 10 be eventually bene.
fitted, is question the future must
determine. She has, at all events,
gained triumph in The recognition
of the principle of nintsrventior
by the U.s. Senate, and ifthat prln.
ciple triumph in the House, even
though Kansas may not be perma.
nentIy slave State the precedeni
may be Of service to The South with
reference to States hereafter to be
admitted. Conflicting accounts are
given as to the probable Fate OF The
bill in the House. 1t is thought,
that its passage may be defeated By
the treason to the South ofthe so
called South Americans, Humphrey
Marshall, Of KY, Winter Davis
Harris and Ricaud, Of Nd, Gilmer
of N. G. and two or three other mem
bcrs. Our opinion from all indlea'
tons, is, that it will not pass.
