Mr.. DOUGLAS rose to question Of order as 70 whether
Kansas proper subject of debate, the Senate not
having decided whether they would take up the Mime

justified by precedents in the history Of
the country. He did not wish to be involved
in the vortex Of Kansas politics. ueing to the threats
made Of the dissolution Of the Union he denoun ,ed

another to a slave State.
