He was aware he said this provision did
not meet the appreciation Of the majority of
the Senate, and he proceeded to state the
motives which induced him to offer it.
The fifth section of this bill, providing that
the President have authority TO employ one
part or the army that he may think proper
in the Territory to maintain the authority Of
the United States, or the laws in that Ter
ritory; also to repel armed aggressions from
without or within, and suppress or drive out
any band of armed men who may appear in
that Territory to the terror Of the inhabitants
and to the disturbance of the peace. The
bill further provides that it shall be the du-
ty Of the President 10 use armed military
forces TO maintain the peace Of the Terrific
ry, to suppress insurrection, to repel inva-
sion, to protect persons and property there
in; also to endeavor, by whatever constitu-
tional means he may possess, to secure TO
all the people of the U. S. who may choose
to go to said Territory, and especially those
who desire 10 go there with the honest pur-
pose of obtaining permanent homes, their
undoubted right of ingress and egress from
the Territory free from any searches, scru.
tiny or molestation whatever.
Mr.. Wilson, in response to remark Of
Mr.. Crittenden, said he had never asserted,
on the authority of Geographic dispatch,
that there were many killed and placed UNI
der the virgin soil of Kansas, as the Senator
formerly charged. He never had repeated
telegraphs and lies which were manufacture
ed and sent here.
Mr.. Crittenden-What about those not
manufactured in Western Missouri.
Mr.. Wilson, have never stated anything
on the authority of Geographic dispatch
that was not correct to the letter, and defy
the Senator from Kentucky 10 put his finger
on the one not true.
Mr.. Crittenden-Y defiance amounts
TO little.
Mr.. Wilson-Your assertion amounts to
less. (Seusation.) The Chair orders order.
Mr.. Crittenden--I know how TO restrain
myself. He repeated what had heard no
where else but by telegraph. l only wanted
him TO carefully distinguish, and not bury
the living-it was enough for the grave dig
ger to perform that office for the dead
Laughter.
MIR. Wilson again rose to speak.
Mr.. Crittenden refuse 10 give way, say
ing: You have not behaved like gentleman.
The Chair again called to order.
Mr.. Crittenden, resuming, said they with
; pain saw the efforts made to feed the flame
of this civil war in Kansas; that was sign
, Of bad omen. Was not this feeling more
extended than ever the movement was made
to make political capital, to help Fremont in
) his election? For this reason Kansas was
to remain bloody scene for the benefit of
that party, and it was the duty of Congress
TO put hand in the flame Of this civil war,
and extinguish it at once.
Messrs. Seward, Cass, Brodhead, Turn
bull and Pugh severally addressed the Sen
ate on the question.
Mr.. Bell of Tennessee obtained the floor,
, when without any motion, the Senate ad-
J journed.
HousE.-Mr. Campbell, from the COM
mittee Of conference on the disagreeing a.
. mendment TO the army bill, said they had
met, and after full and free conference, had
} come TO no conclusion. Trouble, it is well
: known, grew out of the condition of things
in reference to Kansas. The House az

restrict the operations of the army, and pro-
d. viding that no portion Of the money 10 be
expended in Kansas, shall be to enforce the
laws Of the body calling itself the Territori.

declined yielding anything on that point
