Senate debates and House action on war, naturalization, and Kansas bill
The Senate adopted a resolution urging the Secretary of War to transmit communications on hostilities in Oregon and Washington. The bill to amend naturalization laws was sent back for consideration on May 12. The Bounty Land bill saw brief discussion before being laid aside as the House moved to the Kansas admission bill. Congressman Gossett praised the Executive for upholding national rights amid partisan clashes. He claimed to seek middle ground between Abolitionists and Southerners and noted illness kept him away from duty. The House then voted on Senate amendments to the appropriation bill, with Washington Aqueduct work advancing by 27 votes before adjournment.
