TIM MINORITY REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF
THIRTY•THBHH:
WASIIIIIGTON, Jan. 20 —The minority report
from the committee of thirty-three, which is
signed by Messrs Taylor, of Louisiana; Phelps,
of Missouri; Rust, of Arkansas; Whitelei, of
Delaware, and Winslow, of North Carolina,
embraces in substances The changes which
MNe taken place in the situation and senti
ments of the people of the different States since
the formation of the Constitution have been
inch, that through misconstructions of some
of its provisions, and the willful perversion of
others. and the introduction of new principles
in the formation of parties, which are in direct
antagonism to the usages and opinions of the
whole Americas people when the Constitution
went into effect., that that instrument has ceased
to accomplish some of the most important ends
aimed at by RE adoption.
The ditlerences between the Northern and
Southern seotions of the confederacy, from
this cause, have at last risen to such a height
that they have resulted in the formation of a
seotional party in the North, on the slavery
question alone, which will practically exclude
the Southern people from any voice in the
management of the national affairs, in which
they . have a common interest with their North
ern brethern; and that as this fact, notwith
standing the republican forms of the Constiiii
lion are preserved, in truth destroys the spirit
of republicanism in the government, it is there
fore impossible that the two sections should
any longer go on together as one people, unless
the existing state of things is removed. The
report proceeds to say:—The present difficul
ties can only be remedied by amendments to
the Constitution, and suggests that the amend
ments proposed in the "Crittenden resolutions,"
if adopted, would restore tranquility to the
country and place the Union on such a founda
tion that it could never again be shaken.
These amendments, the report asserts, would
not in reality change the Constitution. They
would only have the effect of restoring it by
the added provisions to what it was, in point
of fact, on the day of its adoption, through the
operation of the circumstances which then
surrounded it, and which erected barriers
against the present sectional contests then as
constitutional provisions would now.
If a constitutional majority cannot be united
in the support of the “Crittenden resolutions,"
or the substance of them, then a dissolution of
the Union is inevitable.
The report recommends that steps shall be
taken for the calling of a convention of the
States, with a view to a peaceful separation by
providing for a partition of the common pro
perty of the United States, settling the terms
on which the social and commercial intercourse
between the seperated States shall be conduc
ted, and making a permanent arrangement in
respect to the navigation of the Mississippi
river.
The report gives what the signers of it con
sider a full account of the rise and progress of
the slavery agitation which has produced the
existing difficulties.

Free zspeeeb in Pittsburg.
The citizens of Pittsburg attempted to bold
a Union meeting on Saturday evening last, but
were prevented - by a Republican mob. The call
for the meeting was signed by several hundred
citizens of all parties and all classes, was pub
lished in the daily papers, and it expressly
stated that the object was to endorse the Crit
tenden compromise. Yet, notwithstanding the
purpose of the meeting was clearly stated, the
Republicans assmbled at the time appointed
and prevented, by disgraceful violence, the
citizens in favor of compromise from expressing
their opinions. The Mayor of the city attempted
in vain to curb the conspirators who had as
sembled with the design of breaking up the
meeting, and they succeeded in carrying their
disgraceful designs into execution.
Now, be it remembered, that the class of men
who were successful in preventing a free ex
piession of opinion on this occasion, were the
very men who have been making the loudest
outcry about "freedom of speech" and a "free
press," and in magnifying and denouncing
every attempt at the South to prevent the pro
pogation of Abolition sentiments, where they
are attended with the same danger as a lighted
match thrown into a magazine of powder.—
These "free speech" Republicans of Pittsburg
have marched in processions with this motto
emblazoned upon their banners, and demanded
the' utmost toleration and the freest circulation
for their opinions, but when quiet men, opposed
to their extreme measures, undertake to express
an opinion in favor of compromise, they are
interrupted and overawed by a Red-Republican
mob. This is a beautiful exemplification of
Republican regard for freedom of speech !
The Pittsburg Gazette, instead of condemning
the violence of its party friends, is only "sorry"
that they went near the meeting, and quietly
exults at its results. What, with repudiation,
mob law and the suppression of freedom of
speech, the Republican city of Pittsburg is fast
acquiring a most disgraceful reputation.
Virginia as a Mediator.
We have seen nothing recently which more
clearly indicates the position of the border
States than the following resolution, passed
unanimously by the Legislature of Virginia :
Aru,ph,,,i, That if an Off...As to reconcile the unhappy
differences between the two motions of the country
alba prove abortive. then every con ideration of honor
and interest deniands that Virginia shall unite her des
tinies with her sister siavehoiding States.
Thue, ins few direct words, Virginia notifies
the Northern States that in case the differences
now distracting the country are not reconciled,
site will unite her destlnica' with 'the South._
And her pos ition is the sioitition of all the bor
der
1 _
State's.: They tt:re the Union; in a
certain aontingency, - snd Again' et it in !mother.
• -
If the Northern States will agree to settle this
controversy by offering a fair compromise, they
will cling to the Union ; but if not, if the Re
publican policy of no compromise,no concession,
prevails; if the North stands out with hardened
obduracy against compromise, and refuses to
extend friendly overtures to the South, then
they will cast in their lot with the secession
States. This preietits the issue clearly to the
men of the North.
The Union may be preserved—but only by
abandoning extreme opinions and consenting to
a friendly adjustment of sectional differences.
The Union may be destroyed—but only by
clinging with fatal obstinacy to the extreme
doctrines of the Republica& party. The people
must determine which shall break, the Union
or the Republican party. Oue or the other
must give way. Which shall it be ?
Virginia is not disposed to rush precipi
tately into secession. She offers her mediation.
Before passing the resolution above quoted, her
Legislature appointed John Tyler, William C.
Rives,John W. Brockenbrough,George W. Sum
mers, and James A. Seddons, Commissioners,
to meet similar Commissioners appointed by
other States, at Washington on the fourth of
February next. We trust that the Legislature
of Pennsylvania will respond to this overture in
a friendly spirit, and appoint similar Commis
sioners, selected from among the most able,
enlightened, eminent and patriotic men of this
State. Nothing can be lost by having the State
represented in the proposed Convention, and
great good may be accomplished.
The Conservatives in the free States Speak
It is perfectly evident now to every man ha
ving eyes to see and ears to hear with, that the
only bar to a settlement of our difficulties is
the stubbornness of leading Republicans. A
settlement now would prevent the secession of
any more States—a settlement four weeks ago
would have prevented the secession of most of
those which have gone out. A settlement then
would have pacified the country and preserved
the Union, and a settlement now would do the
same thing. Terms of settlement have been
drawn out in various well known propositions—
all of them in most essential features agreeing
with each other; and those terms have been
assented to as expedient and even just by seve
ral influential Republicans, speaking as indi
viduals. But when, on several occasions, in
both the Senate and House, attempts have been
made to get a hearing for those terms, objections
have been made, always by Republicans. Thus,
recently, in the House, Mr. Etheridge offered
the resolutions agreed on by the border States,
but the House refused (two-thirds being re
quired) to consider them. And with the ex
ception of one or two Secessionists, all the oppo
sition came from the Republicans. It is the
Republicans, when called on for a fair and
square vote in favor of conciliation, who re
fuse to hear, or at least to concur in any fair
terms of conciliation. It is the Republicans in
Congress, and they alone, who bar up the way.
Now, says the Missouri Republican, ought this
to be so among a people who hold it fundamen
tal that the majority shall rule f Shalhaminoritjr,
a minority of probably not one-fourth of the
people, simply because their leaders happen to
be in positions where they can do so much mis
chief, be suffered to wreck this Union ? Terms
of conciliatian, such as hare been offered, arc
approved by a great majority of our people. Is
there any reasonable doubt that the entire op
position to Lincoln in the free States, and in
most of the slave States, outside of those which
have seceded, are in favor of them ? We think
there is not. Let us examine this matter in
detail. Look at the result of the last Presi
dential election. The vote then stood :
For Lincoln in free States 1,858,200
For Lincoln in slave States . 27,032
Total for Lincoln in Union .1,885,232
Opposed to Lincoln in free States 11,574,091
Opposed to Lincoln in slave States.- 1 257,195
Total spinet Lincoln in Union 2,831,286
Against Linc01n............--.-2,831,288
For Lincoln 1,885,232
Majority against Lincoln..... 946,054
In the States which. have seceded 200,000
votes were cast. One-half, at least, of the
votes even in these States may be set down as
Union votes. The slave States which have not
seceded are more moderate than those which
have seceded. And out of the former, not a
sixth are secessionists, should fair terms of
compromise be agreed to.
In fact, take out two hundred thousand of
the voters in the slave States, and you leave a
remainder who are friends of the Union on just
and fair terms. We hold that of the majority
against LINCOLN, 700,000 voters at least are in
favor of some such compromise as has been
suggested at Washington. But are the friends
of a fair compromise confined to the Opposition ?
Certainly not. We have seen that some of the
essential propositions for a settlement have
been acquiesced in as expedient and proper by
several leading Republicans, speaking as indi
viduals. Can there be any doubt that a con
siderable proportion of those who voted for
LINCOLN are equally favorable to them ?
So believing, and not doubting that a large
majority of our people are in favor of the fair
terms proposed at Washington, we are glad to
see that the evidences of this feeling, are be
ginning to be shown in quarters from which
the manifestation is peculiarly welcome. The
opposition to st42necked Republicanism in the free
States—the great party of reasonable concilia
tion there—the party of genuine friends of the
Union, which must be maintained in the same
fraternal, accommodating spirit which origi
nated it—are stirring. Already we bear a
voice from Illinois. The Democratic State
Convention has unanimously announced the Dem
ociatic party there to be in favor of a fair com
promise. We hope to see such cheering evi
dences multiplied. The voice of a united op
position, which in the last election fell but little
short of the party they opposed, will have an
excellent effect. That voice is raised for what
is, under the circumstances, as expedient and
just, as it is by millions of our countrymen and
countrywomen earnestly desired. It will cheer
all the people of the slave States who have not
seceded, and will help much in paving the way
for the peaceful consummation for which so
many are longing and praying.

citizens of Rome, N. Y., on Thursday evening

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the Patriot and 'Union.
WASHINGTON, Jana 19, 1861.
DRAB PATRIOT: Monday next will be a day
pregnant with the hopes and fears of the people of
this Republic. On that day the ultimate decision
wilt probably be made, in the Senate, on the Crit
tenden proposition ; which, if adopted, would pro
bably save all the extreme Southern States of this
Union from permanent secession. And in the
House the border State proposition comes up;
which, if adoptedOtuald certainly save the border
or conservative ttaies from a like secession. I
have not the remotest expectation that the Critters=
den resolutions will be adopted, and, therefore, we
may want on, at least, seven, and probably eight
or nine, Southern States forming a Southern inde
pendent confederacy, embracing all that portion of
the United States which produces cotton, the great
staple commodity of exportation from this coun
try, and its only valuable source of income from
foreign countries; and the groat source of employ
ment to the laboring people of the Eastern States,
which have driven them out of the Union. Thu.
the triumph of Republicanism has been at the
expense of the loss of one-fourth of the Union,
certainly, and probably one-half of it. The pend
ing question now is between the adoption of the
Etheridge and the Hale or border State proposi
tions. I think one or the other of them will be
adopted by a two-thirds , vote. In the House the
border State proposition will receive the largest,
the Etheridge the next and the Crittenden (the
only one which will Seep the whole country to
gether) the smallest vote. If, however, all these
should fail, then Governor Biglerlf propositions, to
submit the question to a vote of the people will be
adopted, as it can be accomplished by a simple act
of Congress, which requires only a majority and
not two-thirds, as the other propositions do. This
proposition of Gov. Bigler's will aid the adoption
of the other propositions, because the Republi
cans know very well that if the question ever gets
before the people, in any form, the Crittenden reso
lutions will be carried by an overwhelming ma
jority. This to them is very apparent from the
numerous letters they are daily receiving from
their political friends, imploring them to vote for
the Crittenden resolutions ; and in anticipation
of this result some of them will vote for the Hale
or Etheridge resolutions. Although the report of
the Corwin committee of 33 is what is coming up
as the order of the day for Monday, I believe that
report will most probably assume the form of the
Etheridge or Hale proposition, by amendments,
and hence my remarks have naturally been con
fined to their . propositions. I think all parties are
becoming anxious to get at a final vote ; and such
being the case, it is probable a vote may be taken
on Monday.
The valedictory speech of Col. Davis, of Missis
sippi, in severing his connection with the Senate,
was truly affecting—particularly thud part of it
relating to our flag. When he said that if circum
stance should render it necessary for him to follow
some other flag than the good old flag of the Union,
which he had followed and defended on the battle
field, ho should always respect and remember it.—
He would fold it up and carefully preserve it in a
place of safety as a sacred relic and fond momento
of other and better days. Yours truly,
SoLott.

XXXVIth CONGRESS-SECOND SESSION.
SENATE.—Mr. Clay, of Alabama, read a com
munication announcing the withdrawal of the
Senators from his State, in consequence of the
secession ordinance having been passed by the
Convention. Mr. Yulee, of Florida, said that
in consequence of information authentically
communicated his colleague and himself deemed
proper to announce to the Senate that their
connection with that body had come to an end.
The State of Florida, in convention duly
assembled, had seen fit to recall the powers
delegated to the Union and assume the respon
sibilities of a separate government. He was
sure that the people of Florida would never be
insensible to the blessings and advantages of
the Union when directed to the purposes of
establishing justice and domestic tranquility
and safety. He would also hold in grateful
memory the early history of the Union, but she
had decided that her civil and social safety
were jeoparded by a longer continuance in the
Unipn.

froth Philadelphia, signed , by citizens of all
parties, including some who voted for Mr. Lin
coln, asking the adjustment of the national

From Washington.
WARRINGTON* Jan. IL
Col. Hayne, of South Carolina, communica
ted his letter to the President on Saturday. It
is not in the way of% demand, as at first pre
sented, but is couched in moderate and tempe
rate language. He has been induced to this
moderation of the ultimatum of South Carolina
by the existing state of feeling here among the
Southern men. The communication was sub
mitted to and approved.by Senators Hunter and
Mason, of Virginia, before it was sent to the
President. While South Carolina does not
yield the position she at first assumed, yet she
is disposed to properly appreciate the embar
rassed position of the present administration.
By this course the responsibility of shedding
blood will be thrown upon the incoming admin
istration.
The correspondence will be communicated to
Congress, the President informing South Caro
lina, through Col. Hayne, that he has no power
to entertain any proposition of the nature in
dicated in his note.
On the receipt of the communication the
President called an extraordinary session of the
Cabinet, at four o'clock, and the session was
prolonged until a late hour.
Dispatches from high sources in Charleston
show that the authorities there feel disappointed
that Lieut. Talbot, who reached there on Satur
day, did not bring back evidences that the
United States Government was ready to sur
render to their demands at once.
The secession of Georgia creates no great
excitement in any circle. It was considered a
foregone conclusion, but some surprise is mani
fested about the course of Alexander H. Ste
phens, from whom an earnest protest against
secession was expected.
The people of Maryland sustain the Gover
nor of that State in
,his firm allegiance to the
Union. Union meetings held in almost every
county approve his course, and pronounce
against disunion. The association of Minute
Men of Baltimore have taken a noble stand ni
support of Governor Hicks and the Union
This organization, formed about a month
before the Presidential election, numbers about
thirty-two hundred active men in the city and
is affiliated with kindred organisations in
every county in the State. They are divided
into companies of sixty-four men each. To
their efforts is due the brilliant success of the
recent Union meeting in Baltimore. Upon the
very day when the forty United States marines
were sent to take possession of Fort McHenry,
it was intended by, the Minute Men to occupy
and hold it, until relieved by Federal troops, to
keep it out of the hands of the reported organ
ization of secessionists, under the name of
"Southern Volunteers." If the marines bad
not arrived at daylight, the Minute Men would
have occupied the fort before noon. They have
proffered their services to Gen. Scott, to take
charge of and protect the United States arsenal,
about 8 miles from Baltimore. There is no
danger of Maryland falling away from the
Union, while such a spirit prevails among her
people•
Numerous applications continue to be made
by Post Masters in the seceding States for sup
plies of postage stamps. Before the orders are
filled an affirmative response is necessary to the
question whether they do now and will con
tinue to hold themselves responsible to the
Government in conformity to the existing laws
for all the postal revenues received by them.—

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.
The withdrawal of the Florida ' Alabama,
Georgia and Mississippi Senatorial delegations
to-day was most impressive. The galleries
were crowded to excess, and almost a perfect
stillness prevailed during the farewell speeches
of the seceding States.
Senator Mallory shed tears profusely during
his address tendering his resignation.
As Mr. Clay, of Alabama, spoke the Senators
all listened most attentively. Re was so ex
cited and nervous that he could hardly hold in
his hand the paper from which he read.
On the conclusion of the speeches there was
great confusion in the Senate. Several Re
publicans bid the withdrawing Senators good
bye. They then took their hats an.' portfolios
and walked out. An immense crowd gathered
around them in one corner of the chamber as
they went out.
