Charles Henry Foster has returned to Wash ingtim, and again presented Ida petition , for, a seat as member from the Second Congrei,lonri district of Noith Carolina. the case is 'before the Committee on elections. Adjourned The President to-day transmitted to Congress the followiug message: Felloio Ceti:wiz' of the Senate' and House of &pre• I recommend the adoption of a joint resolu tion by,your honorable bodies, which shill be substantially as follows: Readied, That the United States ought to co operate with any State Which may adopt, grad ual abolishment of slavery, giVinglo such State pecuniary aid to be used .by such State in its discretion to compensate for the inconveniences, public and private, produced by suchchange of system. ' If the proposition containedin the resolution does not meet the approval of. Congress and the country, there is the end, but if it does com mand such approval, I deem it of importance that the States and people immediately in terested should be at once distinctly : noti fied of the fact so that they may begin to consider whether to accept or , reject it. , The federal government would find its highest interest in such a measure as one oz the most efficient means of self-preservation. The leaders of the existing insurrection entertain the hope that this Government will ultimately be forced to acknowledge the inde pendence of some part of the disaffected region, and that ail the slave States north of such parts will then say, the Union for which we have struggled' being already gone, we now choose to go with the Southern section.— To deprive them of this hope substantially endathe rebellion and the initiation of eman cipation completely deprives them of it as Wall States imitating it. the point is not that ail the States tolerating slavery would very soon, if at all initiate emaucipation, but that while the offer is equally made to all, the more northern shall by such initiation make it certain to the more southern, that in no event will the former ever join the latter in their prOposed confederacy. say initiation because in my judgment gradual and not sudden emancipa tion is better for all. In the mere financial or pecuniary view any member of Congress, with the census tables and treasury reports before him, can readily see for. himself how soon the current expenditures of this h war would per chaee at fair valuation all the slaves in any named State. Such a proposition on the part of i the general government sets up no claim of a right by Federal authority to inter fere with slavery within State limits, referring as it does the absolete control of the subject in each case to the State and its people immedia tely interested, it is proposed as a matter of perfectly iree choice,with them. In the annual message last December, I thought fit to say the Union must be preserv ed, and hence all indispensable means must he employed I said this not hastily, but delibe rately. War has been.made,.and continues to be an indispensable means to this end. A practical re-acknowledgment of the national authority would render the war unnecessary, and it would at once cease. If, however, re sistance continues the war must also con tinue, and. it is impossible to forese all the incidents which may attend and all the ruin which may follow it. Such as may seem indispensable or may obviously promise greet efficiency towards ending the struggle must and will come. _The proposition now made 'is an offer only. I hope it maybe:esteemed no of fence to ask whether the pecuniary considera tion tendered would not. be , of more value to the States and private persons and property in them, than in the present aspect of affairs. While it is true that the adoption of the pro posed resolution would be merely initiatory and not within itself a practical measure, it is recommended in the hope that it would soon lead to important practical results. In full view of my great responsiblity to my God and to my country, I earnestly beg the attention of Congress and the people to the subject [Signed] ASBA.HAIIi LINCOLN. BOSTON, March 6 &mum and Gen.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES After further debate the bill was amended and pawed. The Speaker laid before the House a message from the President, suggesting the passage of a joint resolution co-operating with any State for the abolition of slavery, with pecuniary Qom] pensation therefore. Op motion of Mr. STBVENS, (Pa.) the mmage was referred to the committee of the whole on the state of the Union. Mr. STNNZNS, from the Committee on Ways and Means, reported a bill authorizing the pur chase of coin. Its consideration was postponed till to-morrow. The House went into a committee •of the whole on the state of the Union, on the bill to regulate the franking privilege. • Mr. PERRY, (N. J..) spoke in opposition to the extreme anti-slavery measures which have been proposed. Tuts was a time for the exhi bition of patriotism and the defense of the Upion. He was at a loss to see how it wee necessary to set the slaves free now as an ally in the suppression of the rebellion. This was not a war for the suppression of the South, but for tie restoration of the authority of the Government. Behind the dark clouds of re hellionthe sky of the Union was clear and bright, and the stars of all the States were sparkling in all their beauty, and soon it would be that this dark cloud would pass away. and one by one the stars would reappear in all their glory, and the people would thank' God they were all their. Mr. DAVIS (Pa.) reviewed the various shsdes of politics, and the purposes of political , organ izations. He discussed the peculiarities and dignity of labor, and in the course of his re marks said, "never again would slavery become the controlling power of the Government. Let it hely:town that, while we have heretofore been true to the compromises of the Cortetittution, we now feel ourselves absoluted therefrom by the acts of the armed slave-holders." Mr. KALI= (Pa.) rose to ask the House to repair, as far as it could, a wrong done to a friend and constituent of his, a gentleman of character and integrity—oue who from early life to his present age has managed a large public business—a leading newspaper, and has secured the public respect by his integrity, and who has literally fulfilled all his engagements to his fellow men. He asked that a statement from Col. Alexander Cummings, which be had done him the honor to address to him, be Lied in reply to a certain part of the report of the committee on government contracts. Mr. Wvcraws (Ky.) referred to the report, quoting certain articles that had been pur chased by Mr. Cummings, such as cod-fish, ale, stray hits, &c., and inquired whether Mr. Melly intended to defend this Mr. Cummings. Mr. KULY replied that Mi. Cummings had been charged by the committee with •having $140,000, for which vouchers had not bees furnished, and as thiastatement had, been given to the press and commented upon by the com mittee, it was hut fair that Mr. Cummings shoulibbe heard in his own vindication.
