WAsHIEGTJE. March l6.-The Senate
Committee on Naval affairs held an impor>
tant meeting this morning, a; which they
authorized their chairman to report a bill.
the main features Of which are the same as
that offered the other day by Senator Hale
It appropriates fifteen millions Of dollars for
iron clad war steamers Of the latest anu most
approved designs.
1t also approPriates a sum sufficient for
the immediate completion of the Stevens
iron clad frigete. This grand engine OF of
fensive and defensive Operations at sea, has
worked its way into favor with all the lead
ing practical and scientific experts and en-
gineers.
It's en- dorsed by host of naval architects
and nautical men, and none more more en-
thusiastic in its praises than experienced Of
ficers of the Navy. The War and NAVY
Departments have carefully examined its
principles, and the various ingenious devi-
ces by which 1t can produce the mightiest
results, and they are satisfied that it will
be grand triumph of American science and
skill. President Lincoln, who had himself
much mechanical genius, has taken the
deepest interest in its success. and is assid-
nous to have afioat an engine so terrible IN
offepce. SO impreSnable in defence.

Meeting the Question.

Tie following brief but pointed resolutions
were adopted at Democratic meeting held
in the borough Of Washington, this STATE, d
short time since.
Resolred, That we, the Democracy Of
Washington borough, are opposed to the
emancipation policy Of President Lincoln.
ResoIrsd. That we disapprove Of the Civ
ing Of a command 10y President Lincoln to
john {. Fremont.
That in our opinion IS the kind of talk tie
crisis demands. The Democracy are Oppo-
sed TO the emancipation scheme oi Presi
dent Lincoln as they are to the most ultra
schemes Of the AbolitioniSts to effect the
same end il a more direct manne-; it l.
equally unconstitutional, and therefore
equally unjust, uuwise and imPyiitic- It IL
calculated to widen the breach between the
two sections Of The Republic, and t. Unite
tie rebels still more firmly IN opposition to
Government Ours Is a Constitutional par
" and cannot therefore encourage or couute-
nance such a scheme.
Tbs scheme for taxing tie people Of The
loyal States for the purpose Of buying the
liberty Of the negro slaves, Is not likely to
elevate the President in the estimation Of the
..sovereigns." Is not our national debt suf-
