St*art.— President Brightfsingabsent.Mr.
rj Stuart waa elected President pro tem on mm
tion of Mr. Adams
The bill to amend the naturalization laws I
was made tlie special order lor Saturday.
I Mr. Trutuliui! iotruducsd a bill to restore or
derai.il peace in Kansas. He propowd to
bring it under the Territorial government of
Nebraska. Debate tusned
Skwtk.—The debate was monopolized by
Messrs Hmiglas ami Trumbull, and invulveil
! the principles of the Kansas-Nebraska act
i Mr. Trumbull explaimsl that his only object
1 iu the iutrceluction of tlie bill, was to extend
1 j the Territorial government of Nebraaka over
Kansas, aid alsdish the laws made hy their
I Is-gislature. He thought the proposition was i
worthy ol some consideration, as a state of (
thing* exist in Kansas which all gmsl men must!
1 , deplore. He did not care aUmt having the
1 ; hill referred, as that would withdraw it from
I the consideration of the Senate.
Mr. Douglas hoped tlie hill would he refer
1 rid to the • 'ommitteeon Territories, who would
refport on it at an earlyjday. It involved some
; grave i|iiestioDS, hut he was glad to see that tlie
' | opponents ol the Nebraska hill were lieginning
i, to acknowledge tie- prineiple of that measure.
I The laws of K arisas were made hy the people
of Kansas for their own government, and pla
-1 ciog them under the laws of Nebraska, which
I they had no voice iri making, would Is 1 an un
-1 just act
’ Mr. Trumbull said that so far from acknowl-
I edging the principle of the Nebraaka hill, he
i did not lielieve there was any principle in it.— j
' It was undirstood one way at the North, and i
1 another at the South. He would admit this
hiII to annex Kunsas to Nebraska, though it
1 was no such measure. He regardisl the repeal
of the Missouri Compromise ss the source of
1 all the tnischU f, and he would lieglad to restore
i things to their former |>o»itiou This was u
i temporary vxpediiut, not intended to carry out
his own wishes fully. He meant to occupy
' conservative grounds upon this i|Ucstion, and
wa« willing to yield something for peace, lie
1 waa sorty .to ■>qi.ijt l '-it'. w.K a'aaa.atd. v.ue. asu..
ions that some measure should be immediately I
adoptisl to restore peuee in that unhappy Ter j
rilory.
Mr. Douglas said lie was os anxious to huve ,
jsiace und i|uictncss restored in Kansas us his
i colleague, and he was also willing to yield,what
some of the people of Kansas refused to yield.:
implicit obeuience to the laws of the lund. If’
everytssly would do this,there would be no more
difficulty in Kansas, or anywlu-rc else. But i
instead of compelling the riotous rebels to sule
' mil to the laws, they were, by Trumbull's bill,
j to be |duecd under the laws of another Territo
ry. The effect would I*' to extend the strife
i ami turmoil to N’eluu-ku likewise, where peo-
I pic have obeyed laws, aud where they have
i peace. Tn Kansas, the laws hud lieen tramplevl
j under lo"I and there was strife. The very
I fact that liolh Territories were created under I
| one luw, and that in one were peace and ipiiet j
and iu the other strife und controversy, show
the fault is not in the laud or in former intiT 1
fereocc. Strife und violcnct were frnits ol the
interference in Kansas. There had Itecn no in ,
U-rfemice iu Nebraska, and jieacc und harmony
were the natural cotisei|iicnccH. 11 is colleagne
thought the Nebraska bill was understood dil
fenutly North and South. He had bettter
nail the proceedings of the Democratic Na-I
tioual Convention. He would find its prinri-1
pies were proclaimed Kust. South, West .every j
where alike, by the unanimous vote of every
State. The principles of that bill cmliodied
the Compromise ns'asurus of DO, confirrocil by
Pierce's election. Alter further debate Mr
Trumbull's bill was referred to the Committee
I on Territories.
Mr. Foote addressed the Senate on the bill
to promote efficiency in the Navy, and con
tended that the fuet that errors hail ticen coin
milted and injustice indicted was indisputable,
and lie said he should propose ssch a measure
us would meet effectually and accomplish u cor
rection. He urgmxl in support of no |*iwer
in the President to dismiss uny commissiowsl
officer in the Army or Navy, except it is in his
executive capacity of carrying out with effect
the laws ol Congress and sentence of a Court
1 Martial.
Hoi-a.—By the reuding of the journal of
Saturduy.it ap|*'arevl that Mr. hslwards had \
‘ given notiw of his intention to introduce a bill j
for the removal of the wutof Government from !
Washington to some point in Ohio within five
i miles ol Cincinnati.

the notice, contending that it could not there
appear, as there was no ijiiorum present on that

matter. While entertaining the higliest re
