WASHINGTON, Dec. Is.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is.
To our constituents: The arguments are
exhausted. All hopes of relief in the Union
through the agency Of committees, Congress
sional Legislation or constitutional amend
ments are extinguished, and we trust the
South Will not be deceived by appearances or
the pretenses of new guarantees. The Re.
publicans are resolute in purpose to grant
nothing that will, or ought to satisfy the
South. In our Judgment the honor, safety
and Independence of the Southern people can
be found only in Southern confederacy, the
inevitable result of the separate State eeces-
sion. The solo and primary aim of such
slave holding State ought to be speedy and
resolute separation from an unnatural and
hostile Union" Signed, &c.
The manifesto will be Immediately for-
warded By telegraph TO the constituents OF
the gentlemen named.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Is.
The Illinois House delegation held a meet
ing last night. Messrs. Lovejoy and Morris

preserved.
The New Hampshire delegation have also
held meeting, and unanimously resolved
that it is the duty of the Government to
protect the public property and enforce the
revenue laws al all hazards.
The Times Washington correspondent
telegraphs that the Select Committee Of the
House yesterday tabled several resolutions
offered by Southerners, including ono pro-
posing renewal of the Missouri Compro-
misc Line. Mr. Davis Of Maryland offered
proposition for modification of the Fugi.
tive Slave Law, and having voted thereon TO
report action to the House. The Committee
voted to consider it. Mr.. Davis of Mississip-
pi said that as Northern gentlemen were I'M
willing to come forward like men and place
themselves on record, he would withdraw,
and asked to be excused, which was done.
Several other Southerners, perhaps all, will
leave the Committee Tomorrow
