Nearly oil the Southern members were
present on Monday. Good humor prevailed
on all hands, and the congratulations on
meeting were as cordial as heretofore. The
tslsgsams are filed with various propositions
Tor compremlse. The report tina. Mr.. Sew.

promise line looks rather absurd. 1t ia said
that some conservative Republicans are
alarmed BY the assurances OF Representative
from Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi that
those States will follow the movement 81
south carolina. It's evident that the South.
srners intend 50 make large claims and, II
possible, frlghten the North into subseryi-
sney. We believe most Of the Republics
members will stand firm, and yield nothing
Of our principles.
