wAsnisoroS. Feb io.--The report
made to-day by Mr. Green, of the Son
ATE Commiuee on Territories. sptaks at
length Of tile events IN Kansas.
ls asserts that a majority Of The people
may, as in ancient days II mass meet

elect Representatives 70 make ono for
them, or elect Representatives, to draft
one to be submitted FOR approval or re-
lection. fr

In conclusion the Committee say that
the Aboltionists In Kansas had thus far
sought power by method unknown TO
law and 10y violence, ard not through
tho peaceful agency Of the ballot box.
Claiming that they gave majority Of
the votes in the Territory and therefore
able 10 elect q Legislature and a Oonven
ton, they yet ask Congress to wrongful
ly do for thom what they may at l,gal
times and legal places righfully do for
themselves: that is, to change or abolish
their Constitution. and in case that Con-
grcs should refuse to comply with their
Constitutional demand, they threaten to
alhot the country with an attempt at
boodshed and revolution. Unless Con.
gress will do for them what they assert
they arc anxious not to do for themselves,
but which they wilmlly refuse to do,
they threaten to plunge the country into
civil war. This conduct is so exceeding
ly unreasonable, rs TO foroethe conviction
on the mind thatthoyare conscious Of being
a poweress minority, and only expect to
be able to compass their unwarrantable
ends by departing from the general way

This has been done to establish and
perpetuate slavery,
The Lecompton Constitution was the
result Of those proceedings, and contrary
to the will Of q great majority Of the
people, legally expressed; and for Con
gress in its discretion TO consummate this
proiraoted atrooity. especially for such a
purpose, is violation Of the fundamental
principles Of Republican government,
and can produce no permanent peace or
satisfaction. The people Of the Territory
in tho late Territorial election, have re-
claimed their rights. and that the Terri
torial Government Is for the first time,
now moving peacefully in the legitimate
sphere promised by freedom.
The Lecompton Constitution as adopt
ed, was eonoooted and executed to super
cede the triumph Of justice. To admit il
by Congress, is but 10 give success to
fraud, ane encouragement TO iniquity, and
to turn over that people, not TO an cleo
tion fairly and legally conducted. but to
such State officers and Legislators as Cal
houn shall hereafter proclaim, and on such
contingencies as he shall determine by his
long, mysterious aud ine1cusable iudecis-
ion and reserve. but encourages expeota-

paragraph upon the arrival of Col Benton's s
remains in that city:

Dowell Jones. Each body was ipclosed 10
an air-tigh; zinc case, which was laid within
Mahogany coffin. A lid WAS raised go
as to allow friends to look through glass On
the faces of the dead. The face of the great
Missourian wore that expression oil majestic
placidity which was babtual to him in life.
The lips were slightly open, the eyes closed ,
and every liDeament in the face in state OF
repose that indicated how gentle and peace
ful bad been the end of the veterans stormy
life. There was no discolorstion or wrinkle
to be seen, and the presence of death was
visible only in the closed eyelids. and the
cold, white. marble-like appearance of the
features. The grandcbild lay as sweety as
though only sleeping, with its little head
covered with golden hair, nesting amid
white byacinths and early spring flowers,
whose purity was typical of it own young
spirit.
