Mr.. Brown of Mississippi resumed his re.
marks in favor of the admission of Kansas.
Mr.. Douglas said he took his position ON
| this subject, at time when the probabilities
were that the slavery clause would be voted
out. His vote would be given without anv
reference, direct or indirect, to the slavery
question; but predicated on the fact that a
majority of the people of the territory are op-
posed to it as their fundam entail law, If they
want slavery, they might have it,
Mr.. Stuart of Michigan reminded the Sen.
ate that he had stated distinctly in his speech.
that it made no difference to him whether the
Constitution, with or without slavery, was
presented here. Let constitution embody-

All he demanded was, that this right should

Mr. Irumbull asked whether the Senator
would admit that the Legislature could passa
law to change the Constitution.
MT. Brown replied that he had not expected
to be asked to point out to Republicans how
the constitution should be changed. But he
