70 the other point whether all the IN moers OF the
Vigilance Committee were oysto the tederal Coy
ernment or not he would not undertake ~ say ne
would, however, cay there were men IN "a mor1iswno
were not loyal to the Government, and tnere were
men who had been openly advocating sec. 'shon rom
the Ubion. Although he should regard a. hsn
compliment to have it said that all his astihlent,
were loyal to this Government, he couh 10, oan
that honor for them.s lie had no doubt Do. tha' tae

Mr.. BELL said he did not mean TO make eny charge
against Judge Tsuys moral character, but osiy that
he was of ali inpulsive and rash disposition, wSvh
sometimes led him into mpIudences.
The Senate then resumed the cor slderaiioa OF Mr.
CIittendens bill 20 alter and amend the SsnssS Ne

Mr. BELL of Tennessee spoke on the general sab.
ect of Affairs in Kansas, and the various measures
which lad been brought forward for the relief Of the
inhabitants othe Territory in their present dsqs s:ude
He declared himself in favor of the oi pend;agr
though there might be proviso in it 10 which he
could not give cordial assent. Though / might not
afford absolute relief It would miS,gate ssms
of tine evils and worth trying as
an experiment. The atten PTS thus fer, pIossrv
the peace OF Kansas, have r;oved abortive and be
a complete failure. There an nCispenssbler le.
cessty tina. something more should be done, and he
hoped Congress would not adjourn before tho ~ OF
March unless measure Of redress shoald be
adopted. If the President had not sufficient powe 10
preserve tie peace let additional power be place I'd in
bis hands, but do not present the spectacle y the
world that this Government is unable 20 mAina 10 or
