In effect that the memorial from the

senator's to regard the action in Da-
d as revolutionary until they should
pss state and undertake to per-
~ the functions OF a state and assume
functions of statehood. They were
pyolutionists.
n. Butler said he had misapprchended

The admission of Kansas.
Pir Plumb showed that the first senate

stOn ready TO take his seat ON Tn
mission OF that state, and took his sea
the senate the day following TN
mission, and that had not been sug
sted as revolutionary.

M. Vest would not accuse the othc

Ar. Logan suggested that the reaso
ged for trying to get the state into IN
Mon might be applied TO the attempt

Nr' Vest said that If he Ina

might have remarked that the senator

MI. Logan thought Mr. Vests alluslc
craftsmanship an error so far as he a.

On Missouri who had insinuated TN
