Mr. Truulbuil explained that the only object
Of the bill was to extend the Territorial Govern
ment Of Nebraska over Kansas, aud abolish the
present government of the latter Territory aud
the laws made by their Legislature. He thought
this proposition worthy OF some consi seration,
as a state Of th,ngs exists in Kansas which all

country is disturbed.
Mr.. Mason was now unpreparcd either for or
against the resolutions and asked that it might
lay over till tomorrow. He had doubts as to
the propriety OF making such request of the
President, who, rs Commander in Chief OF the
Array had full charge of the matter. While en-
tertalIins the highest respect for the Senator
from KY, he did not think the condition of
things in Kansas called for such course.
Mr.. Crittendcn replied that as General Scott
was an Old man the President might feel some
reluctance in ordering him on that distant SER
vice, but in his opinion the Senate ought to en-
deavor to contribute towards the promotion of
peace in Kansas.

but thought it ought to be done by joint resolu-
ton, AMI that the preamble to MIR. C.. resolution
be omitted. i
