SENATE REPORTS' O.N KANSAS.
In the Senate, on the 12th instant,
Mr. Douglas, from the committee on
territories, made n report on the Kansas
(natters, and Mr. Col lamer submitted a
minority report. Mr. D. proceeded to
road his report at length. It embraces a
history of African slavery in this country,
and enters at some length into its constitutional
relations. It states that the institutiou
existed iu all the colonics; and of tho '
original thirteen States, six have retained j
it, while eighteen new States have been ;
ad mil to J into the Union, nine of which have 1
chosen to come iu as free States, and nine '

admission into ilio Union has a right to
coine in on terms of equality with tho ohl
States, regulating Iter domestic institutions
and internal concerns in her own way, sub
ject to tl o constitution.
The report refers to this principle as cm i
bodied in the Nebraska and Kansas bill, j
and condemns the combinations entered
into in certain sections of the country to 1
control the destiny of tho future State of j
Kansas; quotes extracts from a pamphlet
entitled "Organization, Objects and Plan I
and Operations of the Emigrant Aid Socio- j
ty," also "A Description of Kansas for the
Information of Emigrants." Tho report argues
that no Slate lias a right to pass a 1
law with regard to any Territory which it j
could not pass in reference to any other 1
State or any foreign government, and poi- j
.coeds to give a detailed history of tho elec- I
lions held in Kansas, at whiih tho territori- j
nl legislature was chosen. It denies that :
the illegal votes said to have been cast ;
nullify the election, or that the removal of !
the scat of government rendered the action ,
of the legislature null and void.
Next tho report discusses the Topoka !
Convention, and declares that tho power to I
govern a territory being vested in Congress, :
the peoplo linvo no right to annul territori- !
?J laws by action in a private capacity. It |
proposes to carry out the recommendations ;
of the President in his special message, by
the passage of an net pioviding for the j
election of delegates by the people, to its* j
semMe in convention and form a State
constitution, preparatory tc admission into
the Union oil an equal feolitig with th.*
original States, as soon as tho population
shall amount to 73,420 souls; and thecommitlcc
will also move an amendment to
the general appropriation bill, nppiopria
t|iig such an am unit ;n may be found necessary
for the purposes of maintaining
good order and enforcing the execution ot
llie laws in Kansas.
Mr. Collamcr then rca.l his minority re- I
port, which discusses the slavery question !
in a northern light, declaring '.hat tins system
gives jtoiitical supremacy to a praeli
c?l minority of the people of tho L tiiled j
Stale!1. The friends of pence and qoiel !> nl 1
UopeJ the io.np?otui-c tnea-tues had settled !
the agitation of the question ?>f slavery.
Tito passage of the Kansas hill, howovtr,
reopened the agitation hy repealing the j
Missouri restriction, and a'.l tho present
totiblos have grown out of that repeal,
which gave a prospect of unlimited cxten- j
MOn to tho institution of slavery. Tho
North now naturally tiiod to devise means
to avoid that result. It was lite right and !
duty of all those who opposed slavery to
ti>c all lawful means to prevent its cxten- !
fcion icto fice territory.
In regald to the Kansas elections, the topoll
states that tho people of the territory
were overawed and prevent, d by the at mod
invaders from Missouri from casting their
vote*; and thus the Legislature was consti
luted in a fraudulent manner, .and Gov.
1 (coder gavo thvin ceililicntes without a
full knowledge of tliesc facts. This legis- ,
Iuro passed acts by which slavciy was 10
cognise I u.s existing and protected; and tho
tree State people wore thus eilho; driven
out or reduce! to submission. 1".tiding
that tho government had become an engine ,
o|% tyranny uml oppression, tho people assembled
peaceably at Topeka, t ? take
measures piclitninary to tho admission oft
Kansas into tho Union as a State. The
proper course now would be either to re
peal the net of 18ot ami organize Kansas
anew, jis a free Territory; or, if Confess
will not do lli.it, let them decline all the ,
actions of this spin ions Legislature utterly ]
inoperative ami void, and provi !o a new
government lor thai Territory.
The two reports occupied more than
tlnce hours in reading.

dining her imprisonment, as follow.-.:
"SJto was Lotn in New-Orleans lS.'JV. :
Her father died and her mother removed
to Maine. There she too died. At fourteen
this girl, whose name is Ann.Linden,
went to Boston.
"She lived with a married sister until
she her self, tarried an nctor. They did not
long remain together. Ifer sister had
moved to Ohilnoiuiii, ami she came to this
city and obtained a situation in a confcc>
tionary store. She grew ill, had to sell
aH her clothes to pay the doctor's hill; met i
u Boston friend who had nothing to give
iter but a suit of his clothes. She donned
tIrene, and at once embarked on a career of i
bifurcated experience. She then k? j?t bar,
again joined her husband, played at the
theatres in Providence and Albany, went
4 en the steaunr Genesee to Now Orleans as
a iness boy, also visited Savannah, Mobile !
and Charleston, and came to this oily. She
received an order far a passage to California
from her sister, hut as it was in her f?- '
male name, she sent it hack to have it
changed to the masculine gender. She
prefers to travel as a man. She was dis
charged, with the advice to leave the city,
to become a woman, and go ami sin no I
more. She thinks she will receive Iror order
