EXTRAORDINARY SCENES IN CONGRESS- The House
of Represcntatvcs is at this moment the of the
widest confusion and tumult The struggle between
the friends and opponents of the Nebraska Bill has
been brought to its last stage. The aim of the for
mer is to get vote upon the measurable efforts
of the latter directed solely to the defeat of this
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. that when vote is taken they
must be beaten. The Pacific Rail Road Bill is the
order of the day for Tuesday, and it requires
two-thrds vote to suspend the order Of the day. it
is plain that the Nebraska bill must pass before
Tuesday or else be put npon the Speakers table,
with no prospect Of an ultimate passage 1t seems
to be the purpose of the minority to prevent VOTE
by calls Of the House, motions to adjourn, and such
parliamentary tactics resorted to only in ex-
IRENE They avow their determination to
persist is this facous course, at whatever hazard,
until the Pacific Rail Road bill becomes the order of
the day. Meanwhile the House is the scene of the
utmost excitement and uproar all decorum and dig
nifty have fed and violence and passion have usurped
the supremacy over law and order. 1t is impossible
to foretell the conclusion of these deplorable pro-
ceedingS. Rich. Eng.

The object of the meeting is stated to be to con-
slider the proper steps to be taken at the present
momentous crisis, and to demand of all the mem
bers of Congress who adhere to the faith pledged
in the Missouri compromise to protect from inra
sion the rights of the people, and to resort if ne
cessary, to the most decisive, and even extreme
measures, to prevent the preparation of act of
infamy fraught with fearful, perhaps irreparable
disaster, to the peace harmony and stability of the
