Mr.. BIGLER Penn moved the printing Of the
Message and its reference to the Committee on Terri
tories.
Mr TRIJMBULL (Il) was unwilling TO let the mat
fer pass from the consideration OF the senate wiO'
remark. He looked upon 1t as powered anu lhcV
rect history from the beginning to the emu ol Ie u
fculties in Kansas. Even from the mperlect heaiihs
of il as read by the Clerk he could see tat was M
consntent with itself. The President recoumehaeu
tbat Kansas be admitted under the Lecompton Con,
sttution on the very ground OF its violation OF the Will
of the people and OF the Legislature whch convene
under that Constitution winch may plo'iue lol Hs
change. And yet the author of that declaration
tells YOU that the election to determine whe'
ther the people would have the Constitution or
not ia nuly. lie takes the ground that the people
have no authority to prevent IL from GONG lh,o loico
and vet have the power after it goes into force to
change il. Upon what principle can such a doctrine
be maintained There was no usurpauon III hahSas
further than that committed by the Presien and the
Army in that Territory, The Army had been employ
ed there without the authority Of aw and he quoted
from the record to prove the latter assertion. lie
commented the Nebraska bill, arguing that the ad-
mission of Kansas under toe Lecompton constitution
would be violation of the principles OF that act, ac
cording TO a fair construction of its provisions.
Mr. DOUGLAS iIl.) should reserve any reply,
which he might have tn make TO what his colleague
had said relative to the Nebraska bill, until future
occasion. He should, at all times hold himself ready
TO vndicate the principles of that bill from oil assault
no mat 'er from what quarter they might come. lie
would not now 60 into an argument relative TO the
questions raised by the Message. HIS opinions haa
been clearly expressed all these matters on previ-
ous occasions. lie thought the better course would
be to refer the message at once TO the COMMITTEE on
Territories where all the disputed questions OF TACT
could be examined before il should come before the
Senate for action. Hoping that course would be
adopted he would ask leave To- present remonstrance
signed by certain gentlemen, as the Governor and
State officers of Kansas protesting against the recep-
ton Of that State into the Union under the Lecompon
Constitution.
Mr.. TOOMBS (Ga.) said that but for the character
Of the assault which Nh. Trumbull thought proper 10
make the Message, he would have been content 10
let 20 TO the country and Yndicate sell; ouC such
had beent the assault that he fettto be
duty TO take this opportunity TO express his hearty CO.
operation in that policy which the President had lna
Gated, and at the same time 70 express his grauhca-
ton at the signal ability and power with which the
principle lying the bottom Of that policy has been
presented TO the American people by their chief ma
gistrate, who recommends the admission OF Kansas
under the Constitution ius transmitted. Upon the
point that Kansas shall be admte into the Union
State all the people Of the Territory, Of both parties,
and both House of Congress were agreed. a large
portion OF the people of Kansas said TO be majority
by the Republicans nearly three years ago, formed
the instrument known as the Topeka Constitution,
and asked for admission into the Union under IT, Then
there could be objection on the ground fh, the in
