Ac- compinyhm' Ihe bill isa lengthy icport pie- paied by Seuatoi Hauison , who has madeu close study ol the subject. The imln piopo- sitlon of the bill , the lepoit states Is that the pioepcdlius taken by the p-ojiloof tliat pait of the iiicsent leiritoiy of Dakota lying soulh of Ihe foils-sisth juiallel of noith lat- Itmlo , wlilch lesiilted In the adoption of u state constitution by n populai vole on Novembei : i , iss'i , shall lu nccpptcd and ratified by congioss nnd Iho state of Dakota bo admitted to ( Mo union on an equal footing with HIP othui slates 'Ihe history ot the movement foi statehood Is H'citcd by Hie lepoit , showing tliat oveiy- thlng had been conducted in oulci nnd with piopiielv , going so ful us to icceiveiill the authoilly Iho legishituio of that toiiitory had , and its full legal sanction. Thciepoit concludestliat the k'-jNatuie had authoilly to authoii7c an election of delegates to n eon- btltutioii.il coiivention , and calls attention lo llio fact that Iowa , Mlchijaii und Oiegun proceeded in n like maiimr. The olllclal letuins of the elections selecting delegates to tlio convention and lallfying the consti tution accompany tins lepoit , Senator Harilson bays that it is cleat Hint an oveivvhelmingmajoiily of thu people of South Dakota appiovo the constitution and desliopiesenl admission inlo tlio union of states mulct It. The constitution framed by Dakota is Updated lo bo lepubllcan in lorm and spiill , and gives lull recognition to Hiobiipiumaey ot the constitution and laws of the Unitol btates , establishes absolute 10- llgloiis toloiation , tlnovvs about the lilo and assets of the clti/.en a silcguaid of law , and pioviuos In the most libci.il way lei a pu- maiienlsyblem Df public schools. The uin- btitutlon was flamed by HIP people who are to live undei it in thu exeioiso of Iho Ameil- can piinciplo ot po.mlar goveininent. It meets theli wishes and , the icpoit believes their wants. "It is not IhcpiovincpoCcongiPss , ' ' states Senatoi Hamsun in the icpoit , "to frame constitutions for the now btales. In some cases cougiess h.ib authoii/ed the piPshlent to announce by proclamation the admission of a state If ho found the constitution adopted to bo lepubllcan in fonn and to contain cer tain uitides ot compact stipulated in the enabling act. In biich cases ot cotiiso , thu slate constitution was nevei laid beioio con giess. As eailv as Junuaiy , IbTl , a incmoilal waa unanimously adopted by the teril- toiy and letilblaliiio playing cougicss to divide Dakota fiom the foity-slxth pu.il- lul , and to oru.uilro two tciritoilal govern ments for the people , The political conven tions ot both of the great political paitles havu lepeatedly dcdaicd in favoi ol division , and some of them in laver of tlie admission of tlie south half as a state. The newspapoi piess ot the tenltoiy has voiy guneially voiced the bamo desire. Demociats as we.ll as icpublicans have taken pait In all ol the movements ol the people lo which wo havpioteiied. " A compiehciisivo abstiact oC the several tuatles of the United Status by which cessions of teirltoiy have been acqulieil ahd some tcirltoilos admitted to thu union is given in the icpoit. showing the legal light of Dakota foi admission into the union. Then follows a long line of piece- dents , fonnlng a foimldablo line of aigu- mc'iit. The soiithoin demoeiats in the sen ate who have so bitteily opposed thu division of Dakota nnd ndmlsslon ot a half of It to blatehuod aio lemlnded by the lepoit that theii states weiu admilted in every instance with less claims and In a less legal way than Dakota has and it Is proposed th.it she shall come Into the union. The aigument , so f.u as law nnd pieeedont are coneeined , is veiy exhaustive. The opinions ol piesldonts fiom Washington down to late yeai- , bearing on the biibject of ad mitting tetiltoiies to btatehood , sue quoted , all linnlbhlii ! ! the strongest piool in behalf ot Dakota , Hiniy Clay , dining the coinsu ot a icport made liom thu omiroiniso com- mitteuot thliteen in iclation to the ndmls slon ot Califoinia , said : "Theic are \aiIons instances pilot lo the case of Callloinia ol the admission of now states into the union without any pievions authoil/.atlon by eon- gie s , The solu condition icqulied by thu United blatcs In icspcct to the udmlbslon ot a new state Is that its constitution bhall bo republican In foi in. The tcriltoilcs which have been admitted Into tlie union of states dining the past decade or two , it Ib observed , weiu admitted by n piellminaiy action almost Identical with tliat alKMily taken by Dakota. When Oicgon was ad mitted into thu union , on Fcbruiuy U , IbS'J , theio was qnlto a piotracted debate In the ho u so upon thu bill. The debate , howevci , tinned ehlelly upon the question ot popula Hon. Theio bccmed to no no otlioi point at Issue. It was conceded on both bides that the possession ot a population equal to thu latio of ropicbcntatlon In thohousuof icpie- bontatives was all that could bu demanded ot n terrltoiv applying lei admission. Under tlio oidlnanco of 1767 only 00,000 Inhabitants could bo insisted upon as a requisite foi the ad mission of n state , and these who combatted the piopusltlon to admit territories twenty or thiityyeais ago simply Insisted that tticio bhouldbe the unit of population , which was 'J.1-1 0 , to entltlo n teirltoiy to representation In congiess. Now concessional lopiesonta- tlon In the Htatu is based upon a lepiesunta- tlvo lor uveiy 151,011 , inhabitants iiiidci the census of IbW ) . "Hut wo do not need to Insist upon that , hovvevei , In the case ot Dakota , " btates the icport , lefeiiingtothe population. "Whero a largei population has been Insisted upon in iiiyumciit by tlie opponents of the ndmlsslon of a new btatu , they have not gone fuither than to claim that thu toirltoiy should have a " a population equal to thu unit of representa- "tion in the house ol repiesentatives. In fact , tluee states , Florida , Oiegon and Nevada , were admitted when their population was less than the existing ratio of representation. In the case of Kansas , congress in terms de clared lu view of the contingency of the question of the rejection of thu Lo Compton constitution , that In that event the people of bald territory are hereby authorised und em powered to form for themselves a constitu tion and state government by tha name of the slate of Kansas , according to the federal constitution , and may elect delegates lor that purpose whenever , but not before it la ascertained by a census duly and legally taken , that a portion of sihl territory pqnals or excels the latlo of representation roiulrcd for a representative to congress , President Utichanaii Is quoted in tlio re- poit as bavins aid , referring to the admis sion of Kansas : "This excellent provision which congiess h.as applied to Kansas ought to be extended and tendered applicable to nil torrltorles which may hereafter bcok ndmls slon Inlo the union. " When Oregon was admitted she had a population of H.G30 , wlillo the existlnijiatloof representation was jn,4iu.
