hoUsE.-Mr. Stephens Of Ca, proposed the
naming OF an carly day for the consideration oil
Tie SENATE bill for the admission OF Kansas. lie
! ought il best to have an understanding on the
matter that nobody shall be taken by surprise,
Mr.. Campbell Of Ohio said the House had been
debating the question involved in that bill for
nearly nine years, and all this session this Kan
sas question blocks up public as well as private
business. lie was therefore ready to meet the
question to-day or tomorrow, with or without
further debate. He thought it due to the in
terests OF the country that the House should
come to vote, and suggested that by common
consent they agree to take up the bill to.mor.
row.
VIZ. Washburne of ILL.,; and others, objected
on the ground that the House was unusually
th,n, but when there was full attendance. thew
could by common consent fix q day.
Mr.. Stephens having been asked BY several
members TO hx day, named Tuesdoy. April
9th.
VT. Campbell suggested next Thursday.
Mr.. Stephens thought that too short . time.
Nj. Campbell said the House had agreed ON
the first Monday of June for adjournment. It
would be impossible to get through the business
that was now pressing. An arrangement might
be made satisfactory to all parties.
NJ. Stephens withdrew the suggestion for thu
present, in the belief that the Senate arrange.
mcnt would be made. When q day vas ;xed
he would announce lit,
Mr. J. y. Jones made an Intellectual effort IN
report bill from the Committee of Ways and
Means regulating the mode and manner Of col
lecting and disbursing the revenue.
The House vent into committee on the def
cheney appropriation bill.
Mr. Peyton Of Ky. made speech in favor Of
the admission Of Kansas under Lecompton. He
pre dicted the most disastrous consequences
from the defeat Of the BILL and accused the |
Republicans with keeping open the agitation to |
promote their presidential eiectioneering pur- |
poses.
Mr. Grow Of Pa. spoke of injustice and op-
preston OF the attempt to force on the people |
'f Kansas constitution against which they
rave pro,estedin the most solemn form. The
people we're lulled into security by Executive
promises that the constitution should be sub.
nit'ed, but we're betrayed by fraud and vio-
ence, and now the last act in the drama ia
ought to be contaminated. The people Of Kan
as were true to their great inheritance and
would not submit to gross usurpation upon their
vol. teal rights for which they we're character.
zed falsely by the President as rebellious. but
ir. G. believed with jefferson that resistance
0 tyranny is obedience to God. Those who
ubmit to usurpation are worthy to be slaves.
'hile the attempt 10 mazda to force on Kansas
n odious despotsm, and to propagate human
ondage there can be no peace in Kansas.
MIR. Kelley maintained the legality of the pro-
ceilings attending the formation of the LIE.
ompton Constitution. If Kansas is admitted
no the Union the Legislature can at any time
ass an act for amending and submitting it to
he people, and no power outside the State can
lterfere. He knew what his fate would be for
citing for the Kansas bill, but if bis constituents
link he has done wrong they have q right to
md another to take his place.
Nj; Thayer, OF Mass, said whatever blame or
lnse existed for disunion attaches to the Slave
over, which for many years has controlled the
enlocratic party. He spoke of the decline of
avery, both in a moral and political aspect.
Mr.. Stephens announced that he would, on
hursday next, at one o'clock, move to take up
&c Senate Kansas bill.
Mr.. Davis, Of Ind, inquired by whom the ar

Is gentlemen had been consulted.

aking the motion that was as far as he

ent no advantage could be taken by either
