THE UNITED STATES.

The ifspress of Saturday announced the arrival off
Cowes of the United States Mail steamer Wash-
ington. en route from New Yolk to Bremen, with
dates from New York to the 14th.

The anti-Fillmore American Nominating Conven-
tion held its second day's session on the 13th, in
New York. At the opening of the proceedings a
communication from the chairman of the Executive
committee of the republican party we. presented by
Mr. Colby, of New Hampshire, suggesting Da-opera-
tion between the two parties. The presentation of
this letter caused great excitement in the Con-
vention. A motion wee made to refer it to a com-
mittee composed of one from each state repre-
sented. The discussion of that question occupied
the whole morning session, and the motion
was ultimately @greed to. In the afternoon
session a motion was made by Mr. Peck, of
Connecticut, to proceed to an informal ballot for
a candidate for the Presidency. The disunion of
that motion brought oat the names of Colonel
Fremont, which was received with enthasissm—of

Judge M'Lean, which met with considerable favour
—and of George Law. The mover of the motion
then withdrew it, saying that the voice of the Con-
vention had been distinctly made knoen, and that
they had thus had an informal ballot. The Conven-
tion then adjourned till the following morning.
The oommittee of the Cincinnati Convention ap.
pointed to wait upon Mr. Buchanan and inform him
of his nomination us a candidate for the Presidency,
visited that gentleman on the 13th, at Wheatland,
and performed the duty assigned to them. Mr. Bu-
chanan stated that he should reply to the announce-
ment oldie committee in writing.
In the Senate, on the 10th, Mr. Crittenden moved
to take up his resolotions requesting the President to
appoint General Scott to the command of the United
States troops in Kansas. A discussion ensued, a
number of senators maintaining that the presence of
General Scott in Kane would have a tranquillising
and beneficial effect on the whole country. Others
argued that such a request would be an improper in.
terfereatie by the Senate with the executive functions,
and that the difficulties in Kansas would soon cause
if the people there would obey the laws, and the
people of the North would cease agitation. The sub-
ject was finally passed over.
