Mr. GREEN remarked that Mr.. Sebastian, mem
Der of the Committee on Territories, was detained
from his seat by sickness and desired TO be present

MI MASON (va.) said that events have occurred
and others are at hand which might enlghten the
American mind upon the subject OF the ADMISSION Oi
new States into the Union. This proposition had been
only few days before the Senate and had not been
thoroughly examined. He was not aware that, when
the question should come in . regular and proper
course before the Senate, any objection would be
made TO the admissOnof Minnesota. There had been,
however, very great irregularities In the mode OF
erecting that State and they requ red some examna-
ton before the subject could be acted upon Why
this undue haste to have the subject taken up out OF
its order7 There other subjects which might
also be considered in connection with this IL was
known that in the course of this week. and possibly in
day or two, the application of another Territory
would be received tor admission into the Union
as State. He did not know where the Senator from
Illinois Dougas) would stand on that question. If
Kansas should present herself for admission IN the
manner which was expected, he did not know where
the great array OF Senator'S on the Democlatic side
would stand. He was not prepared to take up the
bill for consideration. When the Senate shall have
had further time TO take extended views OF althe
circums tances and prabVbe exgencies that may sur
round the admission of new States at this session, It
might be found desirable that such questions should
be considered separately but he was not disposed to
take up one Of these measures until the other
was matured at least. The Lecompton Con-
stitution is now in Washington, and when it
shall be presented to the Senate II VIII De proDaDly
accompanied by authentic information touching all
matters connected with it. He hoped IT would not
meet with much opposition as mas been anticipated,
but thought that not single step should be taken In
reference to the admission OF new States until We are
able to see exactly where We stand. There might
be crcumst tsnces when IL would be found matter
necessary ir the Southern States in order to deter
mine where they stand in this Union, that the two
questions shOuld be taken together

of this measure in order TO consider the question OF
the admission of Minnesota into the Union An oct
was passed last session authorizing the people to form
Constitution and State Government for this purpose
and they have complied with its provisions.
lhere were Irregularities, out al Pailes asleeu
to the Constitution, which was submitted
and which received 10000 votes against 800.
The voice of Minnesota on this subject approached
unanimy All irregularities as to form ought to yield
to the substance. He hoped that the Senate and the
country would notice the position taken by the Sena
tor from Virginia. who opposed TO giving consid-
GRAFTON to this because he supposed that the
Senators upon the Republican side Of the House may
oppose the admission Uf Kansas under the Lecompton
Constitution The Senator did not want to act on the
question Of the admission Of State under the Con-
