Senate amendment agreed to.
Mr.. DouoLAs.--There is no necessit
for delaying this bill, as it would be de
layed by the adoption OF the amendment
The Senator from Missouri we'll know
that this Kansas question has been her
for years, and no considerations on cart
could suffice to stop it in this body thre
years ago. when it came under the LIE
compton Constitution. II was not stop
ped then TO be amended for the want {
' Judiciary or any other clauses; but it wa
!, forced through. We are told 6rst. tha
: Kansas must be kept out because he
northern boundary is not right, when it
. the same now as it was then; next, tbs
' sue must be kept out because the South

! must be kept out because Of the India
treaties, though the same objection el

!. kept out because she had not populatio
i enough, though she has three times a
d many as were there then; and, finally
y this bill must be delayed now because
!. does not contain Judiciary clause. Id
IT not understand why these constant ol
u jections are being iuterposed to the az
Al mission Of Kansas now, when none
, them were presented in regard to Il
y Lecomplon Constitution, three years az

Is which has since taken place.
