at is thought hat the idea of State

considerable discussion among them, since
the apparent abandonment of the project
of annexing South Platte Nebraska TO
Kansas, In regard TO application for adj
mission as a State at the coming Congress
and the scheme has met with a good deal
Of favor. But, saying nothing Of the
prospect offailure under the new notions,
which would seem to have been legislated
into a rule in the English Bill, requiring
a population of ninety-ihree thousand be-
fore future new States shall be admitted,
II would seem Il, have been demonstrated
