English acluiesced. w
Various gentlemen objected, crying let the
vote be ta ken now. II
Marshall said, If tic consideration il post
poned, will it not be again in order to move
the previous question. 49,
Clingman said il Is in order now. 49,
Marshall moved to lay the report Of the
Committee Of Conference on the table, and in.
qnired, if this motion prevailed worldit not
terminate all legislation and leave Kansas
in her present condition before appliation was
made for her admission intothe Union.
The Speaker replied that in his opinion 1t

the call was ordered, yeas l2S, nays 10.
The members answered to their names.

: The question then required on the motion
to postpone the report till tho second Mon
day in May. ~. ~
Stanton said that two days had already
been spent in taking two votes. Hewas will
ling, should the open consent be 81 ven, to let
the question go over till Wednesday.
Grow interposed, spying that it will net 60
over by common content.
Stanton rsmark ed that Hill who made the
motion to postpone the consideration Of the
absent. He took it for granted that the mo-
ton was made in order, meanwhile, to form
opinion, if the measure is postponed, till that
time much light will be reflected on the ones
ton from various sections of the confederacy.
The subject was now presented in new and
differet form. The gentleman from Georgia,
lStephens) has heretofore been against the
submission of the question TO the people.
The Speaker reminded the gentleman that
the discussion must be confined to the mere
question Of postponement.
Several gentlemen proposed that the pend
ing question be postponed tall "Wednesday,
and during conversational debate Mr.. Sc
ward said that he wanted immediate action.
The Kansas bill, he said, ought to b de,
feated or carried. lie wanted to arrive Mt
an end of the controversy. lie was prepared
as much to vote to-day as he would DO in six
months. Hence, he was willing to 60 HON,
like full grown man, and face the respon-
sibility before his constituents, without wait
ing for objections TO be trumped up. There
must be some secret motive for the postpone
ment till tine second Monday in May, looking
to future political movements. 81
The Speaker reminded Seward that lie
could not impugn the motives of gentlemen.
Seward replied that he did not say they
were bad motives. lie had the right to pro-
nounce an eulogy upon gentlemen. The
country was disgusted and sick with this
question, and wanted it settlell and ut
tention given to the important business Of
the country. .r af .,.I-. sff
