XXXIVTH CONG r Z S s
FIRST SESSION.
qENATE WARRINGTON June 9, 1856


Mr. BRIGHT being absent, Mr.. STUART was
elected Iresd. ut pro TEN.
On n oton of Mr. ADAMS, the bill to amend the
Naturalz zation Law made the special order for
Saturday next.
Mr.. 1RUMBULL introduced bill to restore order
ard peace TO Kansas proposing to bring Il under the
Territorial Government OF Nebraska Mr.. L. ex.
planned that the only object OF the bill was 10 extend
the Territorial Government of Nebraska over Kansas,
and aboh the preseIt Government Of the latter Ter
ritory, and the laws made by their Legislature. He
thought this proposition worthy of some consideration,
as a state Of things now exists In Kansas which all
coed men must depOre. lie did not care about hav-
ing the bill referred as that would withdraw it from
the col sideraion of the Senate.
Mr.. DOUGLAS hoped the bill would be referred TO
the Con mitee Territories, who would report on
at On early day. 1t involved some grave question:,
but be was glad TO that the opponents of the Ne
baka blu beginning to acknowledge the princi-
pie of that measure. The laws Of Nebraska were
made by the people of Nebraska, and the laws of
Kama BY the pe,p,e of Kansas; but the proposition
now is to abolish the laws made by tho people OF Kan
sas for their own government and place them under the
laws of Nebraska, which they hao no voice in making.
Mr.. TkUMBULL said that so far from ackDowledg-
ing the principle OF the Nebraska Kansas bill, he did
not believe there any principle in it. 1t was
understood or way at the North and another way In
the South. He would admit this bill to re-annex Kan
sos to Nebraska not such measure as be should
prefer He regarded the repeal Of the Missouri Com
Iromise as the cause Of all the mischief snd would be
glad to restore things to their former position lns
was Temporary expedient not intended to carry out
his Owl wishes fully. He meant TO occupy cOnserva
tive ground upon this question: and was willing 10 yield
something, for he souy TO see strife IN Kansas
aid anxious that some measures should be lmmedatey
adopted 10 restore peace in that unhappy Territory.
MIR. DOUGLAS said be was as anxious to have
peace and quieness esiored to Kansas as bis colleague
and be was also willing TO yield something; but lie
would yield what some Of the people Of Kansas re-
ust 10 yied aid that ia picit obedience to the
laws of the land. Ii everybody would do this, there
would be no difficulty in Kansas or anywhere else
D,tt inst aad nf LING he febp
TO submit to the laws, they were t. be placed
under the laws Of another Territory, the effect would
be to extend the strife and turmoil to Nebraska Ike
wise He was unwilling TO Dtict upon Nebraska the
Cune of strife aDd mob violence that existed in
The people Of Nebraska have Obeyed the law, aud
they Lave peace. In Kansas the law had be IN tram
ped under foot and there was strife. The Abolition
lists aid Emigrant Aid Societies had not lnterposed in
Nebraska to pelvert the terms and meaning Of the
law of Cor gIess. The very fact that both Territories
created under ore law and thai IN one there Was
tace and quieness and in the other sie and contro
yersy shows that the fault il not in the law, but
in foreiln nterf, Strife and violence were the
fruits Of Il at Interference in Kansas but there had
been interference in Nebrs-ks, and peace and
harmony had been the natural cor sequence. II his
colleag que thought the Nebraska bill understood
dereI tly in the North and the South he had better
read the proceedings Of the Democratic National Con-
vtntion. He would find that the principles of the
Democr attic party proclaimed North, East, South
and West-ev.Iywhore alike-procaimed by the
unanimous vote of every State IN the Union. True
Democrats had no trouble in consruLg it, and nobody
lad any trouble except those who were opposed TO it.
aud VITO determined not 10 be satisfied with IT,
The principles Of that bill embodied 10 the CON-
promise measures of 1850, and confirmed by the eec
ion of Mr. Pierce in 1852.
Mr.. 1RUMBCLL replied that the thing was covered
up by the Cincinnati Convention very much as it was
IL the N.bra&a bill. The language ambiguous,
end zach section understood it TO suit their views
After some further debate between Mes,rs. TRUM-
BULL and DOUGLAS, concerning the merits Of the
Nebraska BILL Mr. Trumbulrs bill was referred TO the
Con mite Territories.
Mr.. FOOT addressed the Senate on the bill amend
aory Of the act to promote the efficiency of the Navy
1t was be said, noisputabe that errors bad been com
utted ard pjustce inflicted on the officers and he
hould support such wouli most effectusly
accou plsk correction. He argued that the Pres-
dert bss power 10 osInss any commissioned officer
in the army OF navy, except in his Executive capscy
