M. B II, of Tenne>s.e, b fore -ntei 2
upon, the sshi.ct of affairs in Kansas, de-
~ the memoir! j,si presented by the s.na-
tyr fr n, rexa,. He had IN his pocket a
Letter from in whom be b 4 grea, on

gh character. but stating al the same tine
that II wa his impul,iven">s IF dispo .it,Un
th't had been the mems Of getting hun IN
vol.ed IN this difficulty, aid thai. I'D It
mo- been or this unfortunate occ, rrence,
he would have been d,scharg, d before this
time. The writer Of the letter {, rihcr st.
ted that there was no party in,ere,t - the
formation IT the Vigilance Cor 10 tt-e,
th're was no di,loyal eminent especially, ,
none agalns; tie government of the Un.ted

NJ Weller regretted That anything hal
5ern sad winch male il necessary for him
10 inter word upon the subject, but he
ald hot gree with the Senator from Ten
nessee N the opinion N I the Vigil nee
comm ttee wonld have b en- disband,d ere
his bni for he arrest of Judge Terry. If
ihev had 5000 men under arms he was SIT
i>ii' d they would remain ard pre-erve Their
or.anization until the next Pre- sien'i
el-ctiu
Remarks from the Senator from Tenn.
are Calculated 10 produce the impression
that tue impru'snce Of Judge Terry tai
been the me ms Of continuing the Vigilance
COMMITTEE in operation. He was not aware
hat Judge TRY was guilty of any imrru
drnc.; he Ind known him for sev,T,l wears.
H. b re the character of a high minded
and honor bile man. J ii e Terry was a
prudent man; but lie d-sIr. d TO aid thOs,
who were ma ntaining the supremacy II
the avs, ana BY his constitutional duty he
was bound to use the whole Of hi, moral
inf .e. &c in favor of the laws; as 10 the
other Io.nt whether all the Committee were
loyal 10 he federal COVE, nIn.nt he would
not nd rtake 10 sly. HI would say that
ih"r" were Inen III California who were not
loyal TO the government, and thay were
men who had been openly advocating Sc
cesSion ffom the Union. He should regard
u as high compliment TO have il said that
all his constituents were loyal 10 the gov.
crnInen he would not claim that honor
for them. H. Md no doubt hist the p, eSl-
lent would exercise his full pow er under
n" &c isl 1T 81 20 prevent the courinu, ne,
of t.H siae of things in Ca ifornIa. TIE

The case.
The Sc, ate tnen resumed the CO, sidcra-
tlon Of Mr.. Criitenden's bill 10 alter and
amend the Kansas AID N,braska act
Mr. Bell of Tenn spoke on The subject 81
affairs in Kansas. and the va ions measures
which had been brought forward for the re.
lief Of the uhab tants If the ;erriOriys-
tie declared himself in favor vt the bill
now pen!ihg; the attempts thus tar 10 pre-
serve The p ate of Kansas had proved ator-
tive, and bad been a complete failure liz
sald there was an ldispe, sable neces Nv
that something more should be- done. H.
hoped Congress wM,h not adjourn before
the fourth, of March unless some measures
Of redress should be adopted.
Mr.. Hunter NOV ed o lay the bill on the
table, but as there was not large attend
ancc, by general consent the vote was post
poned until to morrow.
Mr. Seward submitted a resolution that
the Secretary Of :he Senate cause the desks
approp lated for the use of members 10 be
removed from the Senate Chamber. He.
thought the adoption Of the resolution
would tend in some degree TO facilitate the
despatch of business, and al some cou,e.
ni"n' day would ask its consideration.
Adjourned.
