Mr.. CLAYTON replied defending the propriey OF
the remarks which be lad made lie insisted ha' his
structures upon the laws of Kansas Just and
proper, and urged the passage Of bill repeating those
eI Iacnents.
Mr.. BENJAMIN said if Mr.. Weler's bill could be
protected from amendu en discussion, the maj Ority
of the Senate would undoubtedly pass 1t at once;
Mr. CLAYTON said he could not be answerabc "a
TO that. II one Of these Free Soil gentlemen, who

Mr.. CLAYT02N-I am afraid taat there are divers

Mr.. WILSON remark ed, as much blame had been
attached 10 him for offering his amendment not TO
strike out but simply to add to the bill, he wo1l re-
mind Senators tha. motion was made 70 lsy the Dh

Mr.. CLAYTON remarked to Mr. benjamin, he
eoulo see they should not have unanim )us vote.
He thought however he should try to get The major
ity of the Senate TO repeal those Odous laws. When
let them il they dare, refuse to pass the Army bill.
lie would bring forward such measure.
Mr.. SEWARD challenged all Senators to throw into
his face the fret sectional or partisan vote he had
given, either in open secre session, other than
that which involved the principles of the cOns;t lency
which INT him here. He defeo them to show he ever

not move him the bre idth OF slbgle hair from the
line of duty he thought proper to pursue. He would
not say the President was bad man, but on his
responsibility be held him to be unjust and yran-
hical Magistrate. He found him during, the last
Session employing his civil and military in
fuence to maintain not merely tyrannicsl
laws but tyrannca usurpation in Kansas, aud when

Sir. DOUGLAS accused Mr.. Seward with making
merry over the defeat OF the Army bill, though evil
and nschievous consequences would thus result. He
was unable to enter into that tone OF feeling which
made Mr.. Seward TO exuberent and exultsut. When
ever an attempt is made to overthrow Govern nent,

Army as in this case. Directly the telegraph commun'

who does not rejoice when the news OF new murder
