After the announcement of the result
the House adjourned.
The bill as thus amended, contains the
following provisions:
That the State of Kansas be, and is here
by admitted into the Union on an equal
footing with the original States in all
respects whatever; but inasmuch as it is
greatly disputed whether the Constitution
formed at Lecompton, and now pending
before Congress, was fairly made, or ex-
presses the will of the people of Kansas,
this admission of her into the Union as a
State is here declared to be upon this fun
damental condition precedent, namely, that
the said constitutional instrument shall be
first submitted to vote of the people OF
Kansas, and assented to by them, or ma
| jority Of the voters at an election to be held
for the purpose; and as soon as such assent
shall be given and only made known to the
President of the United States, he shall
announce the same by proclamation; and
thereafter, and without any further proceed
| ings on the part of Congress, the adnis-
sion of the said State Of Kansas into the
Union upon an equal footing with the orig
inal States, aud in all respects whatever,
