w. A. Rlchardson,U. S. Senator from Illinois, to

Stephen A. Douglas. Mr.. Richardson then took
the oath Of office, and entered upon his duties
Mr.. Bayard said he would throw no objection
IN the way Of emancipation in the State Of Mis-
snu-i DHs lIv-vOuld find no warrant in the Com
stitution for interfering with the Institution in
the States in any way. In reference to Maryland
he would only ask that she be left to deal with
the Institution in her own way, and in her own
time.
Mr. Lane, OF Kansas, thought the passage Of
the bill was Of the utmost Importance to his
State. Make Missouri a free State and they
would be willing to keep out slavery and re-
beon west OF the Missouri river He was
willing to give money enough to accomplish the
object.
Wilson, Of Mass, was willing to vote for eman-
clpaton IN 1866, as war measure, and give the
money necessary to accomplish the object, but
ne did not want TO delay emancipation.
Doolittle said he would prefer to meet the Mis-
soun Legislature and act as they proposed. He
would be willing to give them S25,0o0, 900 and
abolish slavery now, though an alternative prop
osition might be adopted, He thought it best
TO leave the precise mode of emancipation to
the Legislature of the State. What he desired
was to range this great State of Missouri on the
side of freedom and the question of time was not
so important as that she shall be free.
Mr.. Henderson's motion was rejected, 25 to 23,
Mr.. Henderson moved to amend so as to make
the amount Sl4, ,00O, 600 if emancipation was COM
pleted in Is 6, which after discussion was with
DIR .wn.

menti providingfor the payment Of the $40, ,OOO,-
600 If emancipation was completed by the 4th OF
July, 1866, but no money shall be paid for slaves
hereafter import ID or TO any one who in any way
has aided the rebellion.
Mr.. Kennedy was utterly opposed to this sys-
TEN OF emancipation in the Border slave States
He believed the present policy was calculat-
ed to destroy the present form Of government.
Mr.. Harris said there was a peculiar fitness
thatWe should commence to roll back the tide
OF slavery in this very State, where, since the
days OF the Missouri compronise it had not been
checked till ls6O He moved to re-mcomit the bill
to the Committee on Judiciary. Agreed to.
The Senate then went into Executive session
and adjourned.
