fered a resolution empowering the commit
tee TO send for persons and papers in the

thought that the exercise OF such power
would be an usurpation as Mr. Reeder does
not claim tina, he was elected by virtue OF the
laws passed BY the Kansas Legislature. he
aefcnded his constituents from the charge
n beiny border rufians, which had been re-
norted here and elsewhere, and by one Sen
,,or Wilson who comes from State where
men war against deienceless women ana
burn converts He earnestly condemned
the Anti-Slayery men of Kansas and claim
cd that the Missourians desired not the
shedding Of blood, but 10 sustainsihe laws.
Mr.. Washburne of Maine regretted that
Mr., Phelps had INDUCED in such remarks,
which were exceedingly exciting, not to say
intlammatory A large majority OF the peo'
nile of this country believed in their hearts
that there was no Legislature of Kansas as
