Nc. Stuart, (opp.) Of Mich, raised an Oh
lection, which provoked long discussion, tha
parliamentary law gave to the House the pos

the House.
Mr.. Green said the bin was on HE desk
having been brought from the Secretsry's Office
Afer further discussion. Mr.. Stuart moved
that the report b. not received at present.
The chair de, ided that Mr.. Green had the
floor to present the report, which be did with s
few predatory remarks. He said the report
might not come up to the expectations Of every
body, but was founded on mutual concession.
Il was proper that the Senate should not be
dictated to BY the House, nor the House BY the
senate. The committee, therefore, met IN The
spirit OF conciliation and tried many pr0posi-
lions Whether they had arrived al the best be

hErm0Hizes with what The country demands
L opens prospect for peace and for the set
aemsnt Of pending dificulties.
Mr. Seward, (Opp.) Of n. Y, for the minor
i'y, namely, himself and Mr.. Howard, Of Mich
/ igans explained that the minority were Of the
opinion that the people Of Kansas ought not,
under any circumstances, to be subjected again
/ to vote on the Lscompton constitution, which
they have already rejected; aud further, if the
/ question be submitted, it should Be sub nitted
10 fair, just and equal manner. But this is
one sided, ohsring admission into the Union
and donations Of public lands II they will
come IN under the LeeomptOB constitution, but
throws them back until they have sufficient
population and offers no lands II they vote
against Lseonptoh. Besides, the form Of sub
missi1n is erssive- Il does not openly men,
tiOn Bseompton, although it is like the vote for
Napoleon. You can vote only yes or no; II
not for hin, you cannot vote any body else.
The minority could cot believe that this Eeas.
IRE would be acceptable 10 the people Of Kan
that happy result the Senators from Missouri
anticipated.
Mr. Green believed that Mr.. Stewards inge-
uious argument would mislsad neither the
North nor South. They will see in the report
fairness that will commend itself to both.
TIE report was made the special orler for
Monday, and ordered 10 be printed.
