STATE. HOUSE BosTON. Feb Il. 1857
A public session of the Legislative Committee, to
whom the question Of State aid for Kansas was re-
fer,e6 was held in the State House this afternoon.
STATE APPROPRIATIONS FOR KANSAS.
Mr.. SanbOrn, Corresponding Secretary OF the
Massachusetts, Kansas Aid Committee, opened the
argument in favor Of al appropriation. He said he
would not present an elaborate argument In favor
OF it, because the history Of Kansas, with which
the Committee was familiar, rendered an argument
unnecessary by transcendDg t. He explained that
the petitioner did not ask for absolute, but con-
tDgent appropriations; nor did they ask Tor sum
of money 10 clotne the naked aud feed the hungry
merely but L. prevent the e. croachments OF the
Slave Power on the domain al the Freemeu OF the
nation He reminded the Legislature that they
were elected for two purpcses-to reflect Mr.
Sumner aud secure the rights OF Massachusetts,

duty: but the other, and most imperative duty,

constitutional right to make all appropriation, Nj:
