TIE KANSAS QUESTION.
Mr. RICHARDSON, from the Committee on Fede-
raj Relations, submitted minority report on Mr.
Polk's Kansas resolutions, with resolution in lieu,
follow
The undersigned, q minority Of the COMMITTEES on
Federal Relations beg leave TO present and offer to
the House the following report and resolution, in
lieuof the report aad resolution presented by the
majority on yesterday morning.
We are not willing to endorse the views Of Presi-
dent Buchanan in relation to his Kansas policy,
because it is very evident to that he has modified
his views on this subject and under the constantly
varying condition of affairs in this unfortunate
Territory, we prefer to leave this whole matter to
the Congress of the United States where il apprO-
Triately and consiutOnally belongs; and moreover,
do not feel willing to 'instruet our Senators and
request Representative" TO vote fer the admis
sion Of Kansas as a State into the Unisn with the
Lecompton Constitution; nor are we willing to in
struct them 10 vote against the admission-because
we understand at the election the 2lst f,Decem-
Der last the constitution sustained; and at the
election on the 4th of this month"; tbat the cOnstu
tOn was rejected by more than ten thousand votes.
Under this state Of things, decide that It would
be premature for us even 70 express an opinion as
10 the course which the Congress of the U. States
ought TO pursue, and prefer TO leave the QUESTION
Of admission, with the LecomptOn Constitution,
mot knowing what 1t isl with our Senators and
Representatives in Congress, to be decided by
them a. they may determine best calculated TO pro
duce peace and quiet in the Territory, preserve the
integrity Of the Union, and do justice TO all parties
ami every section Of the country and therefore we
submit aud recommend the adoption Of this report
and resolution in lieu Of that offered by the majority
committee.
Resoloed, &C. That it is the opinion of the House
Of Representatives, ulder the present unsettled and
distracted condition Of Kansas affairs that our Sen
atOrs and Representatives in the Congress Of the
United States ought to be left perfectly free and
untrammeed to pursue that course which in their
judgment may best promote the pubicgoOd, and do
justice 10 all parties concerned.
