Mr. DOOLITTLE. Since I was on the door before, I have learned more of the particulars of this matter from Captain Lowry' of the 1st Nebraska regiment. Companies and F, of the 1st Nebraska regiment, were raised in Iowa, soldiers of Iowa, and were stationed at Fort Kearney, and on a commission from the State of Iowa, voted for Governor Stone at Fort Kearney last can And these same soldiers of Iowa vote on this question of the adoption of the State constitution in Nebraska, and they were not mustered out of the service and paid until the 1st of July this car. These are the facts for which Captain owry, a captain of the regiment vouches; and there is no doubt about the trut of them and I hold myself responsible for the truth of them. And on these facts I insist that this ComTerritor, or some other committee of this body, shall investigate the facts as to the validity of this election by which it is pretended that this constitution has been ado ted by the people of Nebraska. Mr. President, this whole election has been but a voluntary election; it was not under any legal authority at all. I know there is the form otga law passed by the Legislative Assembly of Nebraska; but that Legislative Assembly of Nebraska had no more power to authorize the tbrmation of‘a constitution to be submitted to the people of that Territory than the State of own had to do the same thing for them, because their power is derived I speak of it in a legal point of view from the Congress of the U.S. under the enabling act. But, Mr. President, I admit what the Senfrom Ohio says, that if it was satisfactorily shown that the mass of the people, or a large portion of the people, or a decided majority of the people, were in favor of a constitution, and that they were sufficient in numbers to main taip a State government, I would not stand on a technicality for a moment; but when the question is to put a constitution upon them by what is called a majority of 100 votes, when it is alleged, as I state upon the authority which I gave, that in voting on the adoption of this constitution these soldiers of Iowa were called in to vote upon it, I insist that it Ought to be examined.
