WASHINGTON, March 9, 1856.
The majority and minority Of the Commit
tee on Elections in the House having made
their reports on the subject Of giving the Com
mttee power TO send for persons and papers
from Kansas to enable them to investigate the
validity of the election for a delegate, the sub
ject is undergoing debate in chat b.dy, and af-
fords fine opportunity for new members to
make their "frst appearance" on the floor as
speakers. As There is much feeling on this
sabject in many parts Of the country, il is a
very easy matter for a member to bit the cur
rent of public sentiment in his own district, and
TO sail with wind, tide and current in his favor.
1t will probably occupy the House for some
time.
The Senn.e have determined the question OF
Mr. Trumbulrs right 10 his seat in his favor.
He is the successor of Gen. Shields, from Hi
nois, the General falling before the storm of

Douglas Kansas Nebraska act and the repeal
of the sacred Missouri Compact. only wish
it had been Douglas himself instead of Shields.

that case would have swept him away. but
would not have sent so worthy a man to Min

The Anti Nebraska members of the Senate
and House are to hold a caucus on Tuesday
evening, to talk over the futare, and, l am in
formed, endeavor to concentrate their forces on
some Anti Nebraska ticket for President and
Vice President. If any such ticket is agreed
apon it will be composed of Northern men
alone, and cannot look for any support south of
Mason & Dixon's line. This will give it
sectional character exclusively. / think the
than to elect any body; for surely while he is
In the field as candidate, it cannot be expect
ed that any other Northern man can be elected
in opposition to him and to the democratic NOM
inee. 1t would be curious commentary up
on Northern men and Northern politics, If
Douglas should be nominated and elected in
spite of their pretended hostility to him and
his "Nebraska swindle ~ And yet more i'm
probable things than this have happened. The
North never can and never will unite. One
portion of them carry things 10 such extremes
that the rest cannet 60 with them and are
obliged to abandon them; whereas, il they
would pursue moderate, firm, conservative,
reasonable policy, all would unite and hove
things their own way. Ba this never has been
and is never likely to be the case. The con-
sequence is that they are ruled by the South.
The Committee on Territories in the House
have introduced bill regulating elections in
Kansas, which, should it become law, will at
once ia, an end To- all "border ruflianism." anil
all interference with her elections, as well as
AL voting or attempting to vote by those who
are not actual residents and legal voters Of that
Territory. Il is Just such bill as ought TO be,
bm fear cannot be passed. The Senate and
the President stand in the way.
