xtent of the secession movement in the Cotton States, and to learn, by exchange of opinions, whether the South could be united compactly upon some common basis. No doubt was expressed but that Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and South Carolina would secede by ordinances. Senators present from those States represented that no interposition now could arrest that first step, though their ultimate relation to the Union might be effected by future developments. Messrs. Bayard, Pearce, Nicholson, Powell and Crittenden were in favor of making every effort to protect the rights of the South in the Union.

The Kansas bill being up, Mr. Nicholson, of Tenn, replied to Mr. Wade's recent speech.--He highly eulogized the Democracy of the North.

Mr. Nicholson, late of Ohio, now living on Eleventh street, has a daughter fifteen years old, lately from a boarding school in thn flag, a few inches long, for a little sister, which was displayed in the window early on the morning of the Fourth. Mr. Nicholson, on discovering it, ordered it to be removed, which was immediately done. After the morning parade of Capt.
