Mr.. CRTTESDES, of KY, submitted reso-
luton to the Senate of the L. S., June 10, re-
questing the President to send Gen. Scott to
Kansas, with sufficient military force for the
restoration of law, peace and harmony there.
In the course of his remarks, on presenting
the resolution, Mr.. Crittenden said, sit seem
ed to him that the Senate had but very seldom
under their consideration subject OF more
importance than the affairs of Kansas. 1t was
enough to make them feel ashamed for the
spectacle now presented in that territory
They had been in session six months, and not
ono step has been taken by them to remedy
this disgraceful evil, which was growing day
l,y day, spreading wider and wider, and infa-
ming passions already too much excited. Not
only is the peace and quiet of Kansas disturb
ed, but the peace of the entire country is
threatened. OF debate there had been enough,
but not of kind to contribute to an impartial
judgment, but that rather which led to crimi-
nation and rccrimination. He wanted to see n
broad, general and fraternal peace, and that
must be the ambition of all. Gen. Scott is
the man who carries the sword in his left hand,
and in the right Peace, gentle Peace, and by
his voice, trumpet-tongued, will do more than
q thousand bayonets. His object was to put
an end to anarchy in Kansas
