Mr. Carlisle said that be was sorry 10 see
that Senators were determined to press this
bill. BE did not believe that the Govsrn.
ment held supreme control over all the lands
Of the country. The bill proposes 10 sub.
stituie Government in place OF the present
masters Of slaves, and to make the Govern
ment, one great lordly slave holder, with a
great brood Of petty agents. The provisions
of the bill make human treatment OF the
slaves impossible. There are also appeals
coming here to Us from thousands Of the
white race who have been turned out OF their
homes, and those appeals have more force for

Mr.. Carlisle thought that could come from
the negro. This bill will take from the
Treasury immense sums of money, which
could be better used in the scheme Of coloni.
cation
Mr., Pearce thought the bill impractcsble,
and almost extraordinary, and a political
blunder. The money that it would cost the
Government to provide for these indigent
persons, would make the Treasury more in.
digent than themselves even.

Mr. Davis said some time since the Legis-
lature Of Kentucky passed resolution re-
questing his predecessor aad colleague to re-
sign. His colleague had not resigned, ard
fifteen days since the Senator from Michigan
offered resolution Tor the expulsion OF his COL
league. The Kentucky Legislature are now
in session, and they want to know when that
question is TO be acted upon. If he is expell
ed, the Legislature do not want to adjoun
and allow a disloysl, traitorious Governor to
appoint any one to take the place oI his col
league.
MIR. Trumbull said the committee were
doing their best, and would make report
soon.
Mr. Powell said that he was Ii tie sur
prised at the zeal of his colleague. but wo'd
only say that he (PowelD was anxious for an
Investigation 10 be had. The action Of the
Kentucky Legislature was matter between
himself and that Legislature. He (Powell)
would make It plain to the Senate, and would
show that his action in the last Senate was
entirely in accordance with the will Of the
people, as expressed by resolution, to wit:
To preserve a strict neutrality in Kentucky.
He (Powell) was perfectly willing to abide by
the decision Of the people OF Kentucky at
any time. lie only intended to ask the at
