slave State. But to the extract:
The Senate this morning, after coptin-
uous session Of twenty hours and seven
minutes, at eight o'clock and seven minutes.
passed Senator Donglas' bill offered few
days ago, authorizing the people of Kansas
Territory to elect delegates on the 4th dav
of next November, to form a State consti-
tuition. The Senate made several amend
mcndments to the bill, the most important
of which prohibit any but naturalizcd citi-
zens from voting, repeal the test oaths in
the Kansas Nebraska bill, and give full scope
to the liberty of speech and of the press in
the Territory.
The vote on the passage of the bill was
as follows
1eas-Messrs. Allen, Bayard, Bell of
Tennessee, Benjamin, Biggs, i'iglcr, Bright

which gives the average picking per hand,
of six hands, with these machines, on the
