"AkalN010At Jan. q, 1851.
Before this letter reaches you Kansas viii
have been admitted as sovereign State into
the Union. The hill would have passed tho
Senate On Saturday but for the reprehensible
conduct Of Simon Cameron. There was i
clear majority Of eight votcs for her immedl-
ate and unconditional admission. All the
amendments offered to change tiae boundaries
OF refer the question bach, or modify the land
grants, OF alter The status of the Indian Reser-
ratlons, were promptly voted down. Green
Of Missouri led the opposition, and exhibited
malignant border-rultfan spirit. Most Of the
Southern Democrats were disposed to content
themselves with voting for the amendments
and against the admission, and did not exhibit
factious spirit. Bnt Green talked against
time, aud filiioustered in every possible way.
BE WAS nearly tired down mud considerably
drunk, when At half fpast three P. NJ, Cameron
moved an adjournment. This the Republi-
cans resisted and voted down by the MD Of
Northern Democrats The Republicans had
pledged themselves to make night session,
and stay until Sunday morning II Green and
his bcrder-Euf1ian hackers would not sooner
consent to taslng vote.
Again the debate went on, Green moving
tedious amendments, and the Republicans
ttking 1t good ua:urcdly, pairing of with
Southcrners for fifteen minutcs ut time,
while they Slipped out in twos and threes to
take an oyster stew or lunch. -Four o'clock
came when Cameron again moved for IN ad-
jourument, making silly speech in favor Of
J,Fo hi, e% f,.r Il.
licars, and voted down By len minority.
Green offered an amendment providing for the
establishment Of I u. S. District Court for
Kansas, to continue suits, DC. Judge Ttum-
hull read the schedule Of the bill to show that
all contracts, judgments, Ec. were 10 be con-
tinucd from the Territorial 10 the State Court.
Douglas said lie understood the thing to be
chiefly whether Buchanan was to have the ap-
pointmcEt Of Judge for life, or Lincoln was
to have it II the amendment passed he sup
posed that tue present Judge Petit {the man
Benton pronounced to be great liar aud
dirty dog would be appointed This brought
Fitch to his feet, who is friend Of the "dirtT
dog and great liar" and he declared that the
hill should not pass unless the District Court
amendment Was adopted He went On to say
that All Important case was pending, Involving
the right Of i Territory to exclude slovery, and
unless i District Court was provided ID the
hill The slave cause could not be carried up t.,
tie supreme Court The object was to get
fancy & Co. to pronounce aasalnst the right Of
Territory to exclude slavery, as contended
iur b: the advocates Of popular sovereignty.
Cnl1amer said that except in the single casc
If Minnesota the-e had never been an instance
when this judicial provision had been includ-
I'd Il any such thing Was necessary It could
he done after the bill IS passed, and ho would
yotcfor it al any time.
Aftermore pro and con- debate the Repub1i-
cnus called for rote nn the amcndmcnt II
wills understood that Douglas and Crittendeu
anl perhaps Latham, wonld yote with them
have defeated 1t, 1hercupon Cameron rot up
aul moved to adjourn, making another speech
in favor Of his motion. The Republicans cx-
l.nstulated with him to no nya}T He wanted
