The Kansas Debate opened to-day in the
House with an able and earnest speech from
Mr.. Phelps, in explanation and defence Of the
people in Missouri in connection with Kansas
affairs; showing that all the outrages that
have taken place in Kansas are the legitimate
fruits of the efforts of the Abolitionists of dis
tant States to interfere in the concerns of the
Territory so as to operate on the institution of
slavery in Missouri.
He was replied to by Mr.. Washburn, of
Maine, who claimed that what the committee
proposed to do was only what the House,
through its election committee, had repeatedly
done before.
