lean people when their representatives are en-
gagged in measure the authors OF which dc

One OF the managers, st .phens, yesterday EN-
pnatlcaily declared the principle Of non.sub-
mission, while another, English, maintained that
she con 'titution was TO b. submitted
Mr.. =. wanted to know on what authority Mr.,
MARSHALL made that statement. He called on
him to name the time AMI place.
Mr.. Marshall replied hat it was Inference
drawn from his remarks and asked Mr.. L.
whether he understood the report the way that
Mr.. Stephens did, viz, nat the Constitution
was not TO be submitted to Mr.. English. laugh.
ter he judged the gentleman was competent
to Judge the meaning OF the words in the bill.
Nc. N. responded that il that was all the
answer Mr.. Z. had 70 We, he was willing it
should 90 to the country with the declaration
that the authors Of the report were divided as
to its meaning.
When Mr.. Cox spoke this morning be was re.

To bear him to its arm"
Excessive laush,er.l

Mr. Marshall That may be the gen.leman's
epithaph.
Mr.. Cox. Where is the party to which YOU

Mr.. Cox wished 10 know whether Marshall
had charged that he h. changed. lie had
from the time the report u the committee came
had the matter under consideration. He sus-
taiaed the report as the very best that could be
obtained under circumstances, but did not saw
that 1t conformed to his very best Judgment.
Mr.. NJ. believed that the report substantially
submitted the constitution to vote Of the
people of Kansas; he objected to the manner
OF its submission, and believed they would re-
ect the proposition aud tie conditions attached
% it, which was SO degrading to the North, SO
help him God, if he was Northern man he
would open the direct attacks upon it, he would
have the report Of the committee laid on the
able, and another committee of conference ap
ooinled. Strike out the disabling section, and
: would come near enough to the Crittenden
Montgomery amendment: Tor him to vote for it. |
lie made an allusion TO the position Of the Re- |
publican party on the Kansas question, when
Mr.. Sherman, OF Ohio, said he agreed with |
very statement Mr.. NJ hid uttered. The Re- !
,nbiieans voted for it with their eyes Open
they distinctly understood that certain gentle
men from the Free Stats pledged thcm their |
attn and honor that the! only wanted plain.
'onest straight for ard opportunity, and fair
nd honest chance to end the question.
Mr.. Giddings said he was about the last to
gree TO the Crittenden Montgomery amend

III members to vote as they did, with an eve to

Mr.. Garrett moved that the further considera. |
