Iearnee state rights notions from Clay and Pinkney
Had il rot been urged by Southern gentlemen that
Kansas saOuld come INTO the Union On an equal footing
Nth tbs original States? This was the law OF the

out Of tbe Confederaoy. The Constitution is not SUB
nitie6. Representing Southern end Slave State,
he IN her name, protested against this attempted In
reference in State Rights by the imposition Of con-
Mr.. STEPHENS Gal was not surprised that Mr..
Davis opposed the bill but surprised at the
ground of his opposition. He (Stephens) was born
and reared in that school, and if there any doc.
trpe he cherished more than another it that OF
the rigfts Independence and sovereignty of the sep
arste States of the Confederacy; and he maintained
that this substitute fully and completely carried

reply to Mr. Davis ne showed that Iowa and Louisi-
ana we're admitted on fundamental codtioDs, IN the
former similar to that in the pending proposton'
The objections made by the gentleman from Mary

he earnestly appealed 10 the House to end this queS

Mr.. STEPHENS tell the gentleman distinctly
II Is not"
Mr.. KEITT Is. c. repudated the. doctrine ad
vaDceo by Mr.. Davis. He not willing to commit
the rights of the South to that gentlemans custody
He denied that the Federal Government is sovereign
and said that each state Is sovereign. He then gave
tine reasons why be supported the bill; -
Nj BINGHAM t0hi0 did not find fault with the
bill because it annexed conditions but because grea
crime sought to be perpetrated, not only agalns
Kansas but against the Federal Constitution ana the
sacred rights of human nature. the bill did not sub
nit tie Constitution, but bride IN land and money,
and it registered Kansas must suffer the penal
ty. l. was simply an act OF despotlsm attempted to
be imposed by Congress under cover OF the C0nsttu-
ton which bears the name Of Washington Better
the Constitution PERISH than any precedent be placed
on the satge book that Congress shall dictate TO free
men under pains and penalties admission into the
Union under internal Constitution which they never
made
M. CLINGMAN IN. c. said that this proposition
was no. amendable. He presumed that gentlemen
had made up their minds, and therefore moved the
previous question.
Nj. STEPHENS Ga. suggested that the vote be
tax en- tomorrow at O'Clock.
NJ. MARSHALL (Ky.) hoped that no such agree
ment would be made. 1t would be better to take the
vote TO day. Cries Of " Agreed! II
Mr.. GARNETT (Na.) trusted that the demand for
the previous question would not be seconded, as he
and raj others wished to state the reasons for their
votes
Mr. STEPHENS moved call Of the House, but
the melton WIGS disagreed to- lie then moved an ad
iOu.DC cot.
MIR. HARRIS (n 1T was the underst anding yes
terdsy taat should take the vote TO day.
