The Reports Of the Territorial Committee of
the Senate.
The Committee on Territories. of the SEN
ate have presented their reports TO that body
on the Kansas question, and also n bin for
the ADMISSION OF Kansas into the Union as .
state uhder the Lecompton Constitution.
ne majority Report was submitted by Sena-
tor GREEN, from Missouri. The reasons civ
en- IN that paper for the admission Of Kansas
with the Constitution formed at Leconpton-
are OF the most powerful and conclusive char
acter. The Majority Of the Committee douot

ference to Kansas affairs they eschew all mere
manufactured evidence, and draw their foc,s
from the official evidence on file at Wasbing-

undisputed proofs. Proceeding upon such
safe and practical rules, the majority have

ghly republican, iii form submitted that Con-
stltutlon of the people III their own way, and
now claim admission into the Union with that
instrument. Under these circumstances the
