A Project to Annex Kansas TO Me-
braska

In the Senate, on the 9th inst, Mr.. TRUM-
BULL, of Illinois, introduced bill to restore
peace and order in Kansas, by proposing 70
bring it ander the Territorial Government of
Nsbsaska. The proposition was met at the
Threshold, as it should have been, by Sena-
tor DouaLAs, the colleague OF Mr. TRuM-
BULL. Mr.. DOUGLAS said that he was as
anxious as his colleague to have peace and
quietness restored in Kansas, and was also
willing to yield something; but he would
yield what some people in Kansas refused to
yield-implicit obedience to the laws of the
land If every body would do thit, there
would be no difficulty ia Kansas or anywhere
else; bot instead Of compelling the rioters
to submit to the laws, they are TO be placed
under the laws of another Territory, and the
laws made by the people of Kansas for their
own government to be abolished. The ei-

In Karsas, the laws have been resisted,
trampled under foot, and they have mob vi

that both territories were created under one
act, and that in one there is peace and quiet
ness and in the other strife and controversy,
shows that the fault Is not IN the law under
which they are organized The whole cause
of the troubles ia Kansas lies in the foreign
Interference that has been kept up with the
domestic affairs of that territory since the

the Emisrant Aid Societies of New England.
