i U. S. SENATE-April 26th.-At l2I
the report of the Committee of Confer
ence came up, whersupon Mr.. Critten
den took the floor. He said the Offer
made by the conference substitute il
nearly an equivalent to a bride of pub
lie land to accept the Lccompton Con
stitution.
He then went on to say that the Con
ference substitute is poor, manned, i'm
perfect substitute for the bill adopted
by the House.
After defining his reasons for adher
ing to his amendment adopted by the
House in preference to the Conference
substitute now offered, he invited the
Senate impartially to attempt to do JUS
tice, without recrimination, and without
sectional preferences. Referring to the
geographical position of Kentucky, he
pointed out that her interests are in ia.
vor of maintaining the Union, and Of
the preservation of cordality among her
sections. He concluded with an ear
nest appeal to all parties and sections
to respect the magnificent proportions
and destiny of this Union, which already
is recognized among the great powers,
and will soon be recognized among the
greatest, if we avoid sectional and petty
causes of division.
