gard ,bere people viii pass away esny and lightly
as Senator's ssem 70 think do not oelievet Whether
the OF defence OF 10 which they shall resort
soa be that OF open resistapce or vhich believe they
have the spirit urged As they are By su,.rston and am
var our people passing from that Territory, and
the utmo,, vigilance on the put oI The govern nsnt and
the utmost energy will be demanded; and that seems 70
me to require On the part Of the gsaaure Of NE United
stAtes tome confidence In, and hberaly towards, tho
sdmneuanon which has charge Of serious and mpor-
tant Q matter
Upon these grounds Mr. Seward supported the bfl He
ok to ray that he though: the Of tho army
I'd hsnrss bad been abosed He did not want 10 any
more mtsrventn Of the United States government tho
cecuopsat Washington New York, in tho execution
o he Fugitive Slave law in Boston, but he not pre-
pared 70 cesert The band ofuoops the mercy the
Mormops or tho Indians In Utah. He declared toe
poymsnt Of volunteers the wastsrui aud extssvs-
CANT mode in which co lntry be defended and he
could only be guaranteed that there should be abuse
armed power be would then have no hesitation What
ever In increasing this force TIL should be strong
enough to command respect In the Rocky
and 10 exact sucmsion to the constitution and laws OF
United States even from these aposaizirg Mormons.
The following is Mr.. Stewards amendment 10 the bill -
And be fuI,her enacted That such officers and
only IN the maintenance Of the law. the territory Of UIb
S
have been ssSsSed ali such forces 70 snsssa or rsssd
shall be discharged.
Jnynsos DIvm explained that would be impractical
bic 70 discharge the men rased by BILL because they
would form parts Of companies and would break up the
several regiments 10 which they might be attached
An integral part a. ded TO tne army il might be pos
sioe TO dsoand when war After somo
discussion between Mr.. Davis and Mr. Fcssenden in
gard 70 the assertion Of the latter that Mr. Buchanan had
used the United States troops improperly in Kansas
Pueh !denocraD Of Ohio, proposed 70 Mr.. Seward 40
He proposed to add to the I'd section, ~ follows
Provided, That after the expiration of years from
date Of Mis- act no iurhsr snsment ,h. be n.de for AMI
eighty priva!es
And 10 the Sd section
Provided That after the expiration years he
date Of tbs act no further APponimen Of assistant surgeons

Mr.. sxwARD proposed that the senator's proposition
rhoud be printed which acceded TO- and that closed
the first days debate on the Army bull
On the next day the debate Mr.. roombs amendment.
was resumtd IN the Senate Mr. GwIss, (democratJ Of
California, moved that the whole bill, after the enactng
clause, be stricken out, and bill be substituted Shich
provided that 1--WE entire regiments should be aided
the army instead Of Increasing the army tho node pro-
posed by The Secretary Of War.
Mr. PuGH thought that the original bill preferable,
on account Of the increased expense caused by the in
crease OF officers.
The vote being taken the substituted bill, Il was
negatved-ayes 4, noes 49,
Mr. BILL, (oppost'on Of Tenn, spoke in favor Of Mr.
Toombs amendment He thought that government
81 oud be enient with the Mormons, and that the great
mass of them were really homes. He could not the
the North They alike act under the convictions Of heir
own consciences, alike dscardng facts and and
alike holding fast 10 higher law, which they worship.
Why drive them oup Where viii they go2 If pursued
with the vengeance now threatened, they must 60 forth
10 pcTisb on the plans.
Mr. IvKRsos (dem.) of Ga, was favor or the bill
stood, and opposed 10 bis colleagues ndment He
regretted that troops had been cent To Kansas They had
been sent 10 beep the peace STILL had they not been sent
there would not have BEEN this time, abouonst
desecrate the soil Of Kansas. But the Executive had In
tended and bad done, It's duty
Mr.. CHANDLER, (opp) Of Mich, expressed the opinion
that Brigham Young was only carrying what sup
poeed 10 be the principles OF the Kansas Nebraska BILL
which declares that the people OF Territory ought 70 be
left perfectly free TO form and regulate their domestic In
suons in their own way In the innocence Of his heart
Briplam ami va n a
ana under that Interpretation he had right either one
or hundred wrves, as he pleased II the democrats
propose TO maintain their former doctrine Of popular
vereigDy and Intervention, and declare they wish
Intervene in Kansas no would grant all the troops necss
sary 70 preserve order but he thought The best way
would be 70 employ missionary go 70 Utah alone and
explain TO Brigham Young the OF the government,

iDstutons 10 Terrtory was utterly groundees, being

SSsd $ out & And y 70, siiy n. nss terrible account 's
M DAVIS said was evident from tho tone Of the de-
bate that much Of the opposition TO the bill sprung from
desire 10 fomept civil war In Kansas and he again urged
the neccsety Of taking the question
But several Senators expressed wish 70 hoard, and
day occupied by Mr. Toombs explaining the nature
OF bis amendment, and defending t. He cwelt at grea,
length the assertion that Of the army
required for protection against the frontier Indians
Volunteers and militia tbs proper troops for that
purpose Again, he contended that the bill passed the
trouble Utah woui be all over before a single soldier
could roach II, and the idea that the troops wanted
for Utah was only pretext for permanently saddng the
country with an expensive military esiaplsnment
On Monday, Feb ], Gen Hovsros (opp.) of ToIas re-
sumed tho debate In opposition to the bill He saw no
necessity for large standing army In time Of peace. IL
was contrary TO the theory OF He rid-
cued the oea OF making Dragons OF who had
how 70 bride one-who would have 70 be tea on anui
they learned TO ride and then they would danger
sons heels over head when they were brought mt,
p0n He was in favor OF raising volunteers 70 meet AL
necessary emergencies saying that they u more
expensive than regular troops, and decidedly pre-
fersbe. -Four additional regiments we're raised some
years ago, the expense OF which probably something
Ike the twenty millions nov deficit Ia The treasury:

many women and children. such conduct reflects but
liile credit upon civilization Better 70 treat the Indians

you will need no standing army on the frontiers.
The senator spoke At great length on the eosdten Of Tho
Indians and advocated better system Of promotion N
