WASHINGTON, Tuesday, March II, 1856.
An Anti-Nebraska meeting Of Members of both
Houses was held this evening and was well attended.
Senator Foot was chairman, and Indiana Cumback,
Secretary. Senator Wilson was first called on
and urged general union Of all in favor of Free
Kansas Indiana COlfax was next called, aud
earnestly advocated the Presidential canvass on the
single question of Slavery non-extension Wiscon-
sin Billinghurst spoke briefly in concurrence.
Speaker Banks followed in the same spirit.
Senator Collamer and Michigan Howard
concurred cordially, fully and forciby.
Pennsy lvana Todd said he was an American, and
would not now commit himself as to men, but
would vote for none but an Anti-Nebraska Prcsi-
dent. Then a call was made by States, and Mr..
Benson spoke for Maine, heartily advocating the
single Anti-Nebraska issue. Mr.. Cragin for New
Hampshire, and Messrs. Morrill, and Sabin for
Vermont, fully concurred. Mr. Durfce pledged
Rhode Island for an Antl-Nebraska nominee Mr..
Woodruff for Connecticut, expressed the views of
the whole delegation from that State in favor of
Presidential canvass on the great issue OF Freedom
in the Territories Governor Seward was now
loudly called fer, and responded for New
York in a speech of surprising power,
which elected the warmest enthusiasm.
He said he cared for no party name, Republican,
Ant-Nebraska, American, or whatever it might
be; he should vote for that candidate for President
who represented the great idea Of Freedom. He
had nothing to do with advising plans or organi-
cations, but he would heartily cooperate with all
who were determined to preserve this country from
the curse of universal subjugaton to Slavery. All
the Free States but California were represented,
and the spirit eyinced was most cheering. Tue
meeting adjourned to next Tuesday evening. II is
probable that meetings of like purpose will be con-
tinued weekly. II. G.

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, March II, 1856.
Some feeling was excited to-day by the Speaker
assigning the floor after Mr.. Stephens Of Georgia
to Mr. Dunn Of Indiana, aud then to Mr. Wright
Of Tennessee, making three speeches in succession
by Thanks men, all Of them opposed to granting
the Committee the power required to send for
persons and papers, when Chairman WaShbun
desired TO follow and answer Mr.. Stephens, and
would seem fairly entitled to do SO. Mr.. Galloway
of Ohio and other true men were ready and anxious
to speak. l trust they may do so soon. Mr..
Trafton of Massachusetts, has the floor, and viii
defend the emigrant-aid societies. Mr.. Burlngame
Of Massachusetts, will also speak, if permitted, and
forcibly. The debate will not close till Thursday
or Friday. fear Dunn's proposition to send
committee to Kansas will kill that of the Com
mittee. II. G.

KANSAS AND CENTRAL AMERICAN
AFFAIRS
From Our Own Correspondent.

From Our Own Correspondent
WASHINGTON Tuesday, March H. 1856.
The Territorial Committee of the Senate will
report to. morrow or Thursday on the Presidents
Kansas Message Mr.. Douglas, for the majority,
will bring in bill authorizing the formation of
State Government when the census shall exhibit
population equal to the present Congressional
ratio.
Mr.. Collamer from the minority will recommend
either the restoration OF the Missouri Compromise,
the abrogation of the Territorial Laws, with pro-
lection to the people Of Kansas against the incur-
siOns and abuses of the Border Ruffians; or the
admission Of Kansas as a State under the Topeka
Constitution. Mr.. COllamers report is pronounced
statesmanke, iudicious and liberal, and must
make decided impression on the public mind.
1t is said to be the most effective paper yet issued
on the subject of Kansas
The Naval Committee of the Senate to-day, In
asking for authority to send for persons and papers,
predcated their request upon the investigation IN
Lieut.. Bartletts case, who maintained he could
disprove the charges by this process, as well as to
afford others an equal opportunity, ii desired to
confront allegations. The committee have receded
from their former decision, Sild VIII eAd"0 0'0i'
case presented as far as time will allow The
impression here is that Fillmore will decline the
nomination Of the Know-Nothings in consequence
Of the limited response given to the movement
His few friends are greatly dispirited.
The President is disinclined to submit the Cen
trail American question to arbitration, and decidedly
ipclines to an abrogation of the treaty One or
more Members of the Cabinet leaning to the
former mode by choosing two distinguished Amer
leans and two Englishmen, and they an umpire.
This suggestion, or any plan of arbitration, will
depend mainly upon the manner of Lord Claren-
don's answer to the request for the recall OF Mr.
Champion.
The passage of the Kane resolution in the House
was unanimous and was hailed with general salts
faction.
