MIR. Wilson had an amendment /,
e. offer, and wished to have an oppo,
ss. tnnity to have it printed.
,iel Mr.. Stuart argued q question I
order. maintaining that the arm
"slbill being unfinished business ha
oilprlority over all special orders.
N. Mr.. Seward trusted that by unau
as Imous consent tho gentleman fror
or Texas would be allowed to proceed
as It was very unpleasant to be en-
40 of in the midst OF ones remarks -
he This was agreed to.
ic Mr.. Houston resumed and advo
,ir Gated the raising OF volunteers I,
"a meet all necessary emergencies, say
" ing that they were no more expen
,Is.ye than regular troops, and deci.
d dedly more peaceable.
/. Mr.. Wilson gave notice of nm
a amendment OF the army bill in the
. form Of substitute, 10 the effect
that the President, for the purpose
y OF enforcing the laws OF the United
Q States, maintaining peace with the
n Indian tribes, and protecting citizens
IN the routes OF emigration to Utah.
to be employed ouly in said Terrific.
ry, be authorized to call for and nc.
cept the services Of volunteers not
exceeding 5000 in all; officers and
men to serve twelve months un,vss
previously discharged, and appro.
priating s. tor the purpose oil
earring its provisions into effect.
The further consideration of the
OIL was postponed till to. morrow.
Mr.. Douglas moved that the S,n.
ate take up the bill providing for the
adnlssl9n ;Sl .sy 9a. .of, Miqar@ks iii" kvofror
the Pacific Railroad bill, but thought ,
the question of allowing Senator,
from the new State, ought to take
precedence Of other business. The
Pacific Railroad was a measure in
which those gentlemen were deeply ,
interested.
MIR. Gwin was anxious to consider
tho Pacific Railroad bill. The Sen
ators from Minnesota, he was inclin. I
ed to think, could not get their seats
before the passage OF that measure.
Mr.. Green said there were sever.
al considerations which should nee. {
essarily be brought to bear when the
Minnesota bill was taken up. The /
question Of presentation would de. B
pend upon questions of fact not yet q
decided. All the returns OF the cen.
sus were not yet received. The bill d
would, therefore, be prejudlced BY
prematurely considering it. Ir
MIR. Crirtenden thought that res i
pect for Minnesota and the two gen.
tlemen who have been selected to 4
represent her on this floor made it a {
primary duty OF the Senate to con. il
slider the subject. They had the
right to take seats and be heard on /
the Pacific Railroad bill. c
Mr.. Seward was in favor of the u
Pacific Railroad bill, but should be v
Obliged to vote against taking il up C
at this time. He believed with Mr.. d
Crittenden that the Minnesota case f
presented q question OF privilege, Il
and that those two Senators ought G.
to be allowed to tako their seats at Il
the earliest day possible. That Il
would give an increased vote for the I,
Pacific Railroad bill, and he was a
afraid there would not be enough to
carry it without them. Ii
Mr.. Fitzpatrick, a member of the t,
Committee on Territories, objected e,
10 taking up the Minnesota bill, not n
having had an opportunity to read IL
ho report an account Of sickness. 10
Mr.. Green did not want a coils bc
on between the two measures. lie ii,
hought the reason assigned by Mr.. la
sufficient for postponing in
he Minnesota bill. pr
Mr.. Mason said there might be in
circumstances when it woull be Sc
Ohnd necessary for the southern Il,
tates, in order to determine where 7C
hey stand in this Union, to take up yr
he Minnesota and Kansas question
Ogether. tr,
Mr.. Wilson spoke Of the injustice be
{ such conjunction, and gave no. IN
ice that he and his friends wonlI pr
vail themselves OF all legislative
means, to resist tho admission oi as
Kansas into the Union under the W
.ecompion Constitution. &c
Mr.. Hale said there had never 10
'cen a proposition that 80 seriously |bi
threatened the disruption OF the I'm. Iel
on as that OF the Senator's from
'irginia. 1t is contrary to tho geni. al
g of onr institutions. lin
Mr.. Crittenden opposed the con. H
ection OF the two subjects and made ca
n eloquent union speech, eliciting Idi
pplause from the gallery, and with tn
ut taking the question, ths Senate ct
'djourned.
