Reynolds commenced his address by congratulating his fellow-citizens on the laying of tho corncr-stonc of an edifice which promised to be an ornament to the Slato. The character of the assemblage w.v, he thought, beautifully signifioant of tlie liberal institutions of tho country. Here were asseinble.il t.h? of the dilfcretit nations of Kurope, the Englishman, tliu Scot, ?fcc., uniting with the sons of the soil in presenting a common ofFering upon the altar of our cherished commonwealth, lie then touched upon the subject of architecture, which he deem-, ed an important portion of the history of a people. It is the external representation of their innei life, and embodies their views, feelings and hopes.

Modern architecture, he remarked, has ceased to be symbolical and purely despotic. It subordinates all other claims to those of utility, but it does not neglect the intimate alliance which should ever subsist between utility and beauty. Our State House is to be both useful and beautiful, adapted to the purpose which it is intended to observe, and vet ministering to tlm rrm#;R-.??!? 0 ^.ni-.uuiilUII U1 ft cultivated taste. A State House should represent, in the grandeur of its proportions, tho dignity and majesty of tlie commonwealth. It was ft broad and comprehensive wisdom, not a reckless and ostenlacious prodigality,Lwhieh crected magnificent public buildings. Logislfttion loses something of the reverence which is due, when it emanates from a shanty or a barn. Such buildings, he remarked, arc among the most efficient educators of the peqple. They inspir^a taste- for tire beautiful and the elogaWf^whiCb, diffused through all ranks of S'Xjfcly, appears'in the cottages of labor ;us well as the mansions of "wealth. At this poiut, he introduced several illustrations, and enlarged particularly on the beneficial influence of'floriculture, as exhibited in our own "City of Oaks." The speaker now took a retrospect of the history of the commonwealth,. ,?in<l pj^J a warm and meritable tribute to the men of "ormer time?, who, by tlieir wisdom, valor, nfttistry nnd probity had secured the past, >laccd our Stale in her present high posi.ion and brought about tjiat material prosperty which emboldened their posterity to at?mpt this massive and costly structure.

Washington, June 9. Senate.?Mr. lirigbt being absent, Mr. Stuart was elected President /cm. On motion of Mr. Adams, the bill to ntneml the naturalization law was made the order of the day for Saturday next. Mr. Trumbull introduced a bill to restore order and peace in Kansas. nronosin<r ir? # ' I 1 O bring it under the territorial government of N ebi asku. Mr.Trutnbtill explained lliat the only object ot' the bill was to extend tlie territorial government of Nebraska over Kansas, and abolish the present government of the latter Territory, anil the laws made by their Legislature. He thought the proposition was worthy of souio consideration, as there was a slate of things now existing in Kansas w hich all good men must deplore. lie ,i;.i - i * > -? - uvi wug iiuuui Having uie uiii reierreil, <i:> that would withdraw it from the consideration of the Senate. Mr. Douglas hoped it would he referred to the coin milieu <?n territories, who would report on it at an early day. It inrolved some grave questions ; but lie was glad to see that the opponents of Ihe Nebraska bill were beginning t<> acknowledge the principle of that bill. The laws of Nebraska were made by the people of Nebraska, and the laws of Kansas by the people of Kansas; but the proposition now was to abolish tliH laws inn<l? ili<> , j v,,~ of Kansas lor their own government, and to place tlieni under the laws of Nebraska, which they have had no voice in making. Mr. Trumbull said that so far from acknowledging the principle of. the Nebraska bill, lie did not believe there was any principle at :tll in it. It was understood in | one way at the North, and in another at ino ."South. .liut lie would admit that this j bill was not such a proposition as lie should ! prefer. IIo regarded the repeal of the MisI suui i Compromise as the causo of all the mischief; and he would be glud to restore tilings 19 their former position. But this was a temporary expedient, not intended to carry out his own wishes fully. Jle meant to occupy a conservative ground upon this question, and was willing to yield something, ! for lie was sorry to see strife in Kansas, and was anxious that some measure should be immediately adopted to restore peace to tiiat unhappy Territory, Mr. Douglas said lie was as anxious as his colleague to have peace and quietness restored in Kansas. He was willing to yield something also; blithe would yield what .some of the people of Kansas refused to yield, and that was implicit obedience to the laws of the land. It every body would do this there would be no difficulty in Kansas or any where el.-e. But if, instead of compelling the rioters anuVebels to submit to the law, they were to be placed utider the laws of another territory, tlio effect would be to extend strife and turmoil to Ne?u ti~ ?..ow. lie HJIS unwilling lo 111IHot upon Nebraska ilic curses of the strife and mob violence that existed in Kansas. The people of Nebraska have obeyed the law, and they have peace, in Kansas -the law had been trampled under foot, and there was strife. Abolitionists and the Immigrant Aid Societies had not interfered in .Nebraska to pervoit the terms and meaning of a law of Congress; and the very fact that botli territories were created under one law, and that in one there was peace and quietness, while, in the other there was strife and controversy, shows that the fault is' not in the law. The fault was in firm-wn interference. Strife and violence wero the fruits of that interference in Kansas; but there had been non-interfcrenee in Nebraska, and peace and harmony had been the natural consequence. If his colleague thought the Nebraska bill was understood differently iu tho North and the South, ho had better read tho proceedings of the Democratic National Convention. lie would find that tho principles of tho Democratic party wore proclaimed North, South, East and West everywhere alike?proclaimed by t&e unani-1 mous vote of every .Stato iu tho Uuio^i.! ?'i <a?.i- /" ' ' q ' ...wwuviiudvbio <?uu ouuui v/arouna understood tlio Nebraska bill alike ; Illinois and Louisiana, Obi and Virginia,understood it alike. All true Democrats had no trouble in construing it ; and nobody liad any .trouble except those who were opposed to it and who were determined not to be satisfied with it. The principles of that bill wore embodied in the compromise of 1850; and they were confirmed by the election of President Piereo in 1852. Mr. Trumbull replied that the thing was r-nvnrn/l tin i>? ?1.?* - .....vm Uj; uj wu viuuiiiiiHLi v^onvcnuon, very much aa it was in the Nebraska bill, n.o Jangunge wns ambiguous, and cacli section undefetood it to suit itgiown views.

I So soon as the militia dispersed,they began i to murder in the dark. There is no open ! light in them. For more than a year, the ! fanatics in Lnwrenco have been swearing that they would light before surrendering. On the 21st, they had a fair chance for a daylight light, but that is not what they want. When thero was a chance to kill Jones in the day time, while discharging his duty, no one dared to ilo it, but when uight came many were ready, and it was done?the world knows how dastardly. To-day we got authentic news of the mur| der of several citizens on l'ottowattomiu creeic, in coWl blood. Yesterday, an extra I was published at Independence, about, the i massacre, a copy of which was sent you today, without comment, a long with my hitter, giving a detailed account of the siege at Lawrence. A letter was received here to-day, signed by well known persons, confirming the new#. Five men are known to have killed. A. 1'. Wilkison, a member ol the Kansas LorrJsMm-n ' ?- 1 & IMIU ?ii? juuuoroiibly called "the gen ileum n from Ossawattomie," was dragged from the bed in which his wife lying sick. She begged for her husband's life, but the only answer was that she had "kind friend?" lie was cut to pieces. Au old man by t.ho name of Doyle, and two four, were slain?one of them, a lad, bad his hands and ears cut off by the Abolitionists, and after suffering for some time, they quartered his head. Then there was a Mr. Sherman, whom they butchered so that his wife could hear the death blows and the dying groans, What can be said of thf-so. ? ?i-i? ~ J4 exceed the barbarities of tlie savago. If the Abolitionists arc men of blood, ,\vby no! shed it as men i liecnuse tliey are not men At Lawrence it coulil have been done; bill no, the}* go where they arc the strongest J party, and kill in the dark. Within a few days, many families have arrived here from Hickory Point, in Kansas, who were driven from their farms, and in some cases their negroes and horses stolen. The negroes were told that they could go to Missouri and be slaves, or stay and be free. Those that remained were armed?some would not remain. Wl.nl I.. I- <? ' * ' wv i/t iijc v.-iiu oi uiese outrages : If they do not cease soon, lliey can only end in war and extermination of one or the other party, and you can easily yness which that will be. It was thought that destroying the hotel and printing ,oflioes in Lawrence would I quell the rebels. They have been boasting j that the pro-slavery party, or Mi=sonrians. ' as they call them, were afraid of Sharpe'f | rifles, and it was believed that when it should be proved to them that they did not fear the m, they would be submissive. They ran with the very guns in their hands that tliev had sworn to fight with, and begged for quarter. It was granted: but so soon n? the troops dispersed to their homes, Sharped rifles are being flourished again. They will have one more chance to use them.
