THE ADMISSION OF KANSAS.

Extracts from the Speech of Hon. William
Montgomery. of Pennsylvania, (Demecrgt,)
THE U. s. House Of Representatives, March
10, 1858.
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
The President of the United States, in his
very able message, delivered at the beginning
of this session, felt the full force of this argu.
ment, and attempted to show that there was q
distin ction made in the Kansas Nebraska act,
which rendered it necessary that the Slavery
clause should be submitted to vote of the PEG
pie, whilst the other provisions could be put in
force without such submission. The Preeideu,
says:
In the Kansas-N ebraska act, however, this
requirement, as applicable to the whole Consti
tuition, had not been inserted, and the Conven
ton were not bound by its terms to submit any
other portion of the instrument to an election
except that which relates to the domestic in.
ssitution Of Slavery. This will be rendered
clear by simple reference to its language Il
was, not to legisate Slavery into any Terrific
~ or State, nor to exclude it therefrom, but to
leave the people thereof perfectly free to form
and regulate their domestic institutions in their
own way According to the plain construction
OF the sentence, the words domestic institu.
tons hace direct as they hare an appropriate
reference 10 Slavery. Domestic installations
are limited to the family. The relation betpeen
master and slave and fe,o Others are domes-
tic institutions, and are eatirsly distinct from
institutions of a political character
/ think there ia not q man on this aoor bold
enough to follow this Interpretation. The ado
mestic Institutions of Stste-what are they?
The domestic institutions of house refer to
the internal affairs of such house. The do
mestic institutions of State mean its whole
internal polity--the home institutions, as con.
tradistiDguished from those outside relations
which States have with each other. The do
nestle institutions of State have reference to
the internal relations of the citizens of such
State to each other, in the game manner q the
domestic institutions Of q family have reference
to the relations which the members of such
family bear to each other. When we use the
term "domestic institutions" in reference to
family, we conGne and limit the meaning of the
term to those relations which exist in a family.
Wien, however, We use the words in reference
to State, the meaning is enlarged by the con.
nection, and it embraces the relations which the
citizens of such State bear to each other. Used
in this sense, bank is as much domestic in.
stitution as the relation of husband and wife, Of
parent and child. This is the clear meaning
of the terms used in the Kansas.N ebraska act.
The term domestic institutions a. used in

National Guard.-Mr. Brown, from the
Committee on the District of Columbia. to
which was referred the resolution directing that
inquiry be made into the prepriety of establish
ing a National Police, submitted special re-
port, accompanied by bill to establish an
Auxiliary Guard for the protection of public
aud private property in the city of Washington,
and repeating all acts heretofore passed in
| relation to that subject.
The reporter presents the following synopsis
of the bill:

and four Lieutenants, and one hundred guards

tenants and men to be appointed with the ap-
prevail of the Secretary of the Interior, and 10
be dismissmed by the Chief at pleasure or upon

missed 20 svon as the emergency passes.
P.eauires each officer and member Of the

as may be assigned him. The Captain and
Lieutenant at ell hours, day and night, to wear

The hour for proceeding to the consideration
of the special order 1.-THE Minnesota bill) having
arrived
MIR. lverson moved to postpone all prior or.
ders, with q view to take up the army bill, aud
on the question demanded the yeas and nays,
which were ordered, and the motion was agreed
to.
The Senate then took up the bill from the
House, 10 provide for the organization of regi-
ment Of mounted volunteers for the defence of
the frontier of Texas, and to authorize the
President to call into the service of the United
States four additional regiments of volunteers.
Mr.. Hunter moved to strike ont four and
insert two; the effect of which was to limit the
