SExGGE-S=8Er. Bright being absent, 1lr. Stew
art was elected President pro tan
On motion of Mr.. Adams, the bin to amend
the naturalization laws was made the special or
der Of the day for Saturday.
Mr.. Trumbull introduced his bin torestore or
der and peace in Kansas, by proposing to bring
lit under the territorial Government of Ne
braska-
Mr.. Trumbull explained that the only object
of the bin was to extend the territorial govern
ment of Nebraska over Kansas, and abolish the
present government Of the latter territory, and
the laws made by its Legislature. He thought
this proposition was worthy Of some considera-
ton, as there was state Of things nov existing
I in KANSAS which good men must deplore he
did not care about having the bill referred, as
| that would Withdraw from the consideration Ct
! the Senate.
| Sir. Douglas hoped the bill would be referred
I to the com. on Territories, who would report on
! it at an early day; 1t involved some grave ques-
tons, but he was glad to see that the opponents
OF the Nebraska bin were beginning to acknowl-
edge the principles Of that measure. The laws
of Nebraska were inside by the people of Ne
braska, and the laws of Kansas by the people Of
1 Kansas; but the proposition now vas TO abolish
the laws made by the people of Kansas for their
own good aud place them under the laws of
I 20 .A'A - "-'---a -'Asl 49, ---NA -
~. TrumbulI, said so far from acknowledging
the principles of the Nebraska bill, he did not
believe there vas any principle at all in it; it
was understood one way at the North, and an
other way South; but he would admit this bill
vas such proposition IS he should prefer. He
! regarded the repeal of the Missouri Compromise
as the cause of all the mischief, and would be
glad to restore things to former position; but
| this was temporary expeiient, not intended to
carry ont his own wishes fully.
Mr. Douglas said he was as anxious as his
colleague TO have peace, and quictness restored
/ in Kansas, and was also willing TO yield some
( thing, but ne would yield what some people of
Kansas refused to yield, and that was implicit
tobedience to the laws of the land; if everybody
would do this, there would be no difficulty in
! Kansas or any whore else; bnt instead of COM
pelliug the rioters and rebels TO submit to law,
/ they were to be placed under the laws Of aaoth-
er territory. The effect wOuli be 10 extend
| strife and turmoil to Nebraska, likewise ne was
unwilling to infiict upon Nebraska the curses of
I strife and mob violence that existed IN Kansas.
! The people of Nebraska have obeyed the laws
| and they have peace-in Kansas, Law has been
! trampled under foot, and there vas strife. Abo-
litiouists ard enigr4nt aid societies had not IN
terfered in Nebraska to pervelt the terms and
meaning of Law of Congress-, and the very
fact that both territories were created under one
lIaw, and that in one there was peace and quiet
ness, whilst in the other strife anu conteu-
| ton, shows that the fault was not in the law;
the fault in foreign interference, strife and
violence were the fruits of that interference IN
Kansas, but there had been non-interfercnce in
Nebraska, and hence peace and harmony had
been the natural consequence. If his colleague
thought the Nebraska bill was understood DIFF
Ecrently in the North and South, he had better
read the proceedings of the Democratic NatiOna.
Convention, he would find the principles of the
Democrats party were proclaimed to the North.
East, South, West, and everywhere alike, pro-
claimed by a unanimous vote of every State in
the Union
All true Democrats hadno trouble in constru-
ling it, and nobody had any trouble except those
who were opposed TO it, and who were deter
mined not to be satisfied with the principles of
that bill. They we,e embodied in the compro-
nisrGf 1850, and they were confirmed by the
election of Mr.. Pierce in $50.
! Mr. Trumbull replied that the thing was Gov
cred up by the Cincinnati Convention pretty
much as it was in tine Nebraska bill; the Ian
guage was ambiguous, and each section under
| stood it to meet itsown views
| Further debate concerning the merits of the
tNebrassn-Kansa bill Was had by MessTs. Tram
bull and Douglas.
Mr.. Trumbull's bin was referred to the com.
on Territories.
Mr.. Foote addressed the Senate on the bill to
promote the efficiency of the Navy. That eT-
rors had been committed and injustice inflicted
on the officers, was indisputable, and he should
support such measures as would accomplish a
correction. He argued that the President has
no power to dismiss any commissioned officer Of
the army or navy, except in his executive caPac-
ity of carrying into effect the laws OF Congress
ard the sentences of court nartials. Senate

HorsE-By the reading of journal of Sat
uIrIay. il appeared that Mr. Edwards had given
notice Of his intention TO introduce bin for the
removal of the seat government from Washing
! ton to some point in Ohio, within miles oftiu-
cinnati.
Mr.. Jones, Of Tenn, moved to strike ont the
notice, conteuding that it could not there APP
pear, as there was no quorum present on that
day, on the question ninety two members only
1 30 quorum. The House. therefore, adjourn
