MR.. DOUGLASS REPORT ON THE HOUSE KANSAS

BILL.
It will be remembered that the House. some days since
on the motion of Mr. Dunn passed bill in lieu OF the Sen
ate pacfcation BILL and sent the Senate Mr. Dunns
bill was made the subject OF written report which
made and read by Mr. Douglas yesterday. Nothing the
subject of Kansas has before appeared which places the
publicans in SO inconsistent and indefensibc position
Mr. Douglass exposure Of the objections to the House bill
was overwhelming that Mr. Seward and said that
although there provisions in the bill which he would
cheerfuy for there others which be utterly
pudiaed Yet this BILL thus empbatcally repudiated by
Mr. Seward, was adopted by the republicans and North
American Fillmore In the House the antagonisc
proposition TO the Senate paci6cation bill
The report Of Mr. Douglas viii fully explain the
why Mr. Seward refused to sanction the House bill We
can barely glance few OF the points made by Mr. Doug
lass report lie shows that according to the boundaries
Of Kansas passed by the House. the Jurisdiction of the
Territory is to extend far south 36 deg 80 mnthus
embracing large strip Of country dedicated by treaties
the Cherokee Indians occupying it and thereby vio
Iang the stipulatons of those treaties They embrace
Also large section Of the country purchased from Texas
in 1850 lying north of 80 deg. 30 mn and also large
body of country now embraced within tho Territory Of
New Mexicothus violating the stipulation on which the
purchase from Texas was made, and nuying the Com
promise of 1850 organizing the Territory Of New Mexico
The report shows that the House have than de-
oared the Kansas laws to be null and void but by this bin
they have recognised their validity shows that the
House bill actually legslaes slavery into the Territory
Kansas until 1855 and then undertakes egislate il ont
Of the Territory and II shows that although the republic
cans have filed the land with accounts Of murders robbie
ries and other henous crimes perperated in Kansas by
this bill they allow all the offenders to 60 free But the
full bearing Of the report only be appreciated by
reading it. We shall lay II before readers at an
early day. and they win find u the conclusive ex-
posure Of republicanism that has yet been made Mr.
Collaer made minority report which is little else than
rehash Of bis former positions the Kansas question:
with scarcely an attempt to answer Mr. Douglass obec-
tons.

Not cen grain Of bere
Touches its bill;
So with the houseless poor,
Wandering from door to door,
Seeking morsel morel
Lord, tits thy will
White is the virgin snow,
BITTER the morn;
See those starved children go,
Wretched, forlorn!
Feet without shoes or hose,
Backs without warm clothes,

Why were they bornS
See that lone, aged man,
Snow white his hair;
Mark his sad visage wan,
Deep his despair;
Craving the rich mans food,
Owner Of many Grood,
Lord, thou art always good,
Hear his heart prayer!
Yonder woman goes,
Ragged and old,
Barefooted Ger the snow,
Famished aud cold;
How her poor children cling
TO her side, shiyering,
Chickens beneath her wing
Doth she,eneoldi
Fast falls the sleet and rain,
Slowly they go,
BY forest side, sheltered plain,
Wailing their woe;
City street now they see,
Here they roam wild and free,
Are they not flesh as wey
Cans't thou say 'no?"
Night spreads her sable wing,
Where can they lier
Sorrow like theirs must bring
Tears to the eye;
Full the cloud torrent falls,
Down they must lie>in halls,
Each to his Maker calls,
Lord letm diem
We whom the Heavens bless,
Give from your store;
Twill ne'er make your treasures less,
Must make them more;
For he that gives cheerfully,
God loves so tenderly,
Give to them--pray with me,
God help the poor!
