WAsHIscros, March Is.


been debating the questions involved for
nine years and nearly oil this session. The
question blocks up public as well as private
business. He wac, therefore, ready to meet
The question to-day or TO morrow, with or
without further debate. He thought tlIut it
was due TO The interests Of the country that
the House should come 10 vote. He sug-
ges.ed that by common consent they should
agree otake up the bill TO morrow.
Mr., Washburne, of Illinois, aud others,
objected, on the ground that the House was
unusually thin. When there was full at
,endonceihey could, by common consent, fix
day. f
Mr.. Stephens having been asked by
several 10 indicate q day, named next
Thursday week.
81 Mr.. Campbell suggested next Tuesday.
Of Mr.. Stephens thought that too short a
time.
Dir. Campbell said, the House having a.
greed on the first Monday in June for ad-
journment, it would be impossible TO get
through with The public business by that
time unless the earliest possible day be fixed
for vcte on the Kansas bill.
Mr.. Montgomery had no doubt, If the
matter was not now pressed, arrangements
might be made satisfactory to all parties.
MFR. Stevens Withdrew his suggestion for
the present. l
The House then went into Committee Of
the Whole on the Deficiency Appropriation
Bill.
Mr.. Peyton Of KY, made speech in
favor Of the admission Of Kansas under the
Lecompton Constitution. 30
Mr.. Grow spoke Of the unjust and OPP
Eressive attempt 10 force on the people Of
Kansas constitution against which they had
protested in the most solemn form. The
people were lulled into security by the Ex-'
ecutive's promises that The constitution
e shouldbe submitted, but were betrayed by
fraud and violence and now the last act in the
drama is sought 10 be consummated. He
believed with Jefferson, that resistance TO
tyranny is obedience tc God. Those who
submit 10 usurpation are worthy 10 be
slaves. While the attempt is made to force
on Kansas odious despotism, and profligate
human bondage, there can be no peace ia
Kansas.
Mr.. Reilly maintained the legality Of the
proceedings attending the formation Of the
Lecompton constitution. He knew not what
his fate would be for voting for the Kansas
bill, but if his constituents think he had done
wrongly, they have the right to send another
TO take his place.
Mr.. Stephens announced that he wou' on
Thursday next, at one o'clock, move 10 take
up the Senate Kansas bill.
Mr.. Davis of Indiana, inquired by whom
the arrangement was made.
MIR. Campbell explained, saying that
various gentlemen had been consulted.
Mr.. Grow had no objection to Mr..
far as he and his friends could 60 to-day.
If all sides consent on Thursday, the bill can
then be taken up.
Mr.. Stephens said that Mr.. Grow cor.
rectly understood the matter. No motion
will be made ill Thursday, and he then de-
signed nothing more than TO move that to take
the bill from the Speakers table.
Mr.. Davis Of Indiana, said that was salts
factory to him and those with whom he ac-
ted.
Mr.. Montgomery wished to know whether
Mr.. Stephens would move to take up the bill
merely for discussion, or put il on its pas
sage.
Mr.. Stephens replied that he intended to
move the previous question. If the majority
want debate, they can vote down the mo-
ton.
Mr.. C6hpbell said il the matter was
agreed to, the bill would be open for amend
- h. ., of
House. Neither he nor Mr.. Stephens de-
sired TO take advantage Of either side.
This arrangement seemed to be perfectly
understood.
Mr.. Washburne Of Illinois, protested in
the name Of thirty thousand of his consti-
tuents, against consummating what they con-
sidered the crime of forcing slavery upon
the free people Of Kansas against their ex-
pressed will, by means Of the Lecompton
Constitution.
