The Senate resumed the consideration
of the President. Message.
Mr.. Fitch was in favor Of admitting
Kansas with whatever Constitution they
Dighs present here--provided it be re-
publican in form. The Convention had
power to submit the Constitution or
withhold it. ... .-.. a~
Mr.. Douglas said he intended to stand
By the Nebraska bill, the Cincinnati
platform, and the organization and prin-
ciplss of the Democratic party, and to
defy opposition from whatever quarters
it may come.
He predicted that before the lapse Of
sixty days he would be in harmony with
those that were most relied upon now to
crush him and the principles Of the Ne
hraska bill in the admission of the Lee
,nton Constitution. He looked on
Invention a. trick and fraud up
vi the rights Of the people, and with or
without slavery. He was opposed to the
wl,els concern did not know the OBJ
jcct Of oil these attack upon him. Per-
haps his opponents thought they could
worry him out; but he would tell them
that II he found his strength failing, he
would 60 of and recruit his energies, and
come back and take raking FIRE At the
whole of them, Laughter.
During conversational debate between
Messrs Douglas and Fitch, the former,
in order to sustain his previous remark
taat be could not have much confidence
ia the returns Of the election which was
held yesterday, said the convention had
repealed al the laws furnishing fraud
ulent returns, and stated in addition
that two officers Of the army who were
present in Lecompton at tho time, in-
formed him that the very man who was
known to have perpetratcd the Oxford
fraud vas elected Clerk of the Conven-
tion by scclama.ion on the ground.
HoUsE--rhe House went into Com
,eistec on the Senate Treasury Note bill.
Mr.. Grow opposed the sending forth
Of an irredeemable paper currency, there
being nothing IN the treasury to redeem
the issue, it would but add to the evils
which now prevail. He favored loan
which would bring forth the twenty mil
lion Of coin in secret recesses unemploy-
ID, aud waiting for safe investment.
MIR. Morris, Of Pa, regarded this
J ,seasure as an attempt to return to the
policy to which the Government COM
menced, viz, to secure a national cur
repcy. He was ia favor Of national
bank with certain restrictions, such as
General Jackson said might be establish
ed, and was therefore glad that the Pres
iispt had adopted one of the principles
of the old Wing platform.
Mr.. Clancy Jones having replied TO
the various objections urged against the

consequence of commercial rcvulsions.

The resolution passed.
SRNATE-The various branches Of the
Presidents Message were appropriately
referred.
Mr.. Stuart said Congress, and Congress
alone understood the power conferedupor
i, hy the Constitutions to determine
not only the question whether the State
shall be admitted at all, but is equally
empowered with authority to determine
how it shall be admitted.
The question to be asked were wheth
Ut the foreign government was republican
and whether the people were satisfied
with it and asked admission under it, fos
the power of Congress was to adult q
Htate, not coerce it. He contended tina,
half the people of Kansas had had nc
opportunity to vote for the election Of
delegates to the Convention, IS in some
counties no census had been taken. How
could they be expected to abide By its
decision when their voice had not been
heard. He also believed that the Con.
ven,ion intended a trick and fraud upon
the people, and expressed views in &c.
cordancc with those which Mr. Douglas
he'd previously submitted. He would
never give his vote to consummate tina,
frsud which he believed was to be the
mt st enormous that was ese taken to be
prsctic ID upon the people under. the forms
Of lay. He believed that if this Con-
stisu,ion was forced upon the people o.
Kansa. those who aid it would light the
..fch of ,ivi, discogd throughout the
Union. Thew might cry peace, peace,
but there was no peace.
Mr.. Broderick said while he agreed
with Messrs. Douglas and Stuart, and
most Of their remarks, there was one
point on which he wished to say few
word, When Gov. Walker and See
re.ary Stanton went to Kansas they
found State instruction existing there,
and succeeded ia great labor in restoring
peace. Now he thought the President
and his Cabinet where alone responsible
for the late out breaks, This was the
irst time he bad known the President
20 descend from his high position to at.
tempt to coerce peaceable citizens to the
viii Of illegal party men. He was ready
20 disagree with his party for he believ.
cd he had rendered as much service in
the election of Mr.. Buchanan as any
gentleman on the floor. He was also
some what astonished at the forbearance
Of the psople Of Kansas towards the
delegates to the Convention. If the PEG,
pie had logged them, cut their ears of
and sent them out of the Territory, he
would have applsuded them for it. lie
