FRIDAY, April ..
The Kansas bill from the House was taken
up.
The amendments were read, whereupon Mr.
Green Of Mo-, said that, without further expla-
nation, he would submit his motion to disagree
with the House.
Mr. Bigler of p, considered the amendment
as clear violation of the democratic principle
that Congress would not interfere with the right
of the people of the territories to govern them
selves. He was against the amendment, be-
cause it sets aside what the people of Kansas
have already done. The amendment provides
That if the present Constitution be voted down,
the people of Kansas call a convention to frame
new one, on which the President may admit
her by proclamation. She thus becomes State
before coming before Congress at all. What
guarantee against abuse is there in this? Who
knows if the Constitution that may be framed
will be republican in form, or may not contain
inadmssable features?
Mr. Douglas of ILL.,, had hoped, with the Sen
ator from Pennsylvania, that the question would
have been settled in accordance with those dem
ocratic principles which had been the rule of his
Douglas's) life The Senators on the other
side urge as a reason for the admission of Kan
sas that it will bring peace. Why not then ad-
nit her We can do it in one hour by assent
ing to this amendment. Concur with the House
ii
Union with right to make Constitution to
suit herself. Let men of all parties and sections
then unite in settling the contention The OBJ
Ject OF the reference of the Constitution to the
people, is simply to ascertain if it is an embodi
ment of their will-if it is their act and deed
The House had amended the bill. which accom-
plshes two great points: one-that it settles
this whole Kansas excitement another, that il
recognizes the right of the people of Kansas to
frame their own institutions. Why, then. not
all unite and vote for the amended bill, and thus
settle the Kansas question. Vote for it, and
the right of the people is recognized. Vote for
It, and States rights and sovereignty is preserv
ed Vote for it, and there is peace in the coun-
try.
Mr. Pugh of Ohio, explained the reasons which
