Mr BLOWN stated The reasons why nc should gave iss
vote FOR the now under There
were many reasons why ne dd NOT entirely ike ths prop
oSon but hD would not csnsumc'tie tme IN mention
pg them, lpt would rather assign reasons IN Its Avor
The rst and greatest reason was that wo ought to settle
this vexcd Question: and would be much better TO set
tleit upon these terms than to lyet opens. The Kan
sas question had long been thorn ranking in the side o.
the Union and It must be extracted or there could be
no r0rmahent peace ont there oaad be oonsndal con-
tenton between tho North and South there had been
for years past That would be sufficient II there
were no othe 70 inacc PIN 70 vote for the report II the
comit6U Of conference, as peace measure bringing
healing upon ia wings and bringing the different sections
of the country together inS0a neGhborOOd md better
fellowship But he believed this measure 70 DO the best
thing TINT could 6dopc under the present circumstances
tor other reasons ana he also regarded it az o9nssont

sion Of collateral qucs0 the question with regard TO-
the quantity Of land that should pc granted to Kansas
upon condition that she would ccc away the power to
tax the public lands belonging 70 the odc government
within her limits In votfDg upon that question, they
choose to determine that they Will accept the conditions
we otc and como into the Union under the Lccotnpton
constitution, they have to do it, But the ends
of the Iecompton constitution opposed the ordinance
nexed to that constitution from tho beginning because II
made cxtrsyagant demands Of land On this question
they stand now precisely where they stood at first y Ia
MIR. TUOMBS said that inasmuch as 1t was Obvious
that the Senate would not ko vote upon tho PROPOSE
ton now before them until there was action upon the
matter elsewhere, he would occupy few moments in
mentioning the grounds upon which he sustained the
