nected with the action Of the Naval Borad, we're

The Invalid Pension bill was passed
Mr. Ha1..ss addressed the Senate on the sub
ject Of Kansas, taking ground strongly against
M. Douglas, report. He said he never desired
10 discuss the Question of slavery, believing
such agitstion mischievous and frauSht with
danger TO the perpetlity of the institutions of
The country. Others differed with him in this
opinion, end and amoug them the President who
without waiting for the organization of the
House sent Congress two voiuminons messages,
reviewing the whole subject. judicia.ly, histori-
caily and politically. II would therefore be dis
graceful TO the President and those who repre-
seat his principles in the Senate to ignore his
favorite theme, Mr. II. then entered into an
examination Of Mr.. Douglas Kansas report, con
GLIDING By declaring its representation of his
torical facts as perverted and highly colorcd; he
had no doubt that bodies of armed men entered
Kansas for the express purpose of eontesting
the elections, some by false swearing, and
some by the use of arms No amount of tall
emf, strength or force OF eloquence coald abol-
ish these historical truths. 1t was remarkable
that although the statement from the London
Times and other fereign Journals we're quoted
from by Senator's without exciting feelings of
scoru, yet when from the newspapers of our
own country proofs are shown that gigantic
frauds have been committed upon the people of
Kansas. The statements are treated with dis
respect and unworthy of notice. The pro-slav-
cry papers of Kansas and Missouri admit the
fact OF forcible intesferenee and justify il as me-
cessary. Mr. Harlan commended in advocation
yfthe power of Congress to exclude slavery
from the Territories and denouncing the the idea
that slavery from the Territories should be per-
mitted in Territory; saying, that once establish
ed it could be expelled. In the course of his
remarks he alluded to the injustice OF slavery,
and agreed that the negro has same physical,
mental and moral nature as the white man and
that his inferiority gave the white man no rights
to enslave him. Adjourned until Monday,
Coliamer. Gier and Seward will speak in sue
cession on the Kansas question.
