The Resolutions Of the Committee OF
Thit1YsTnteH.

The Resolutions Of the Comn1lttee of
Thirty-Three.
The dispatch sent out from Warrington to
the Associated Press on Thursday night last,
relating to the action Of the Committee Of
th:rty.three on tho resolution Of Mr.. Rust OF
Arkansas, was quite uninte1ligible In some Of
its parts, aud incorrect In others- The follow
ing from the New York Tribune co1respon-
dvnce places the matter in Its true light:
WAsH1so1ox, Dec. u, 1850.
. The Crisis Committee sat five and a-ha1f
hours to-day, and adjourned, aftcr making an
opened by resolution from Nj. Rust Of AZ.
kansas, 10 the effect that the South required
guarantees In the form Of amendments to the
Constitution, md, uulcss they were granted,
dissolution YVES Inevitable He declared him
se1f for the Union, but stated that paper
was prepared, and being signed By Southern:
mcmbcss,- representing TINT no concessions
opinfon, the effect Of that document, when
published, would be to excite the Southern
mind more deeply, and 0verwhelm those who
we're for sustaining the Union
Mr.. Dean Of tndiana then offered the fol-
lowing resolution, which Mr. Rust accepted
as substitute for his: -.
Reso!red. That in the opinion Of this Committee
PIE. and the growing hostility among them ii the
Federal Government. arc greatly to be regretted,
and that, whether such Msconteut and hostility
constitutional remedies. and additional and more
specific and enactu0 guarantees Of their peculiar
rights and Interests rs recognized BY the Constitu
try and the perpetnation Of ths Union, should be
promptly aud cheerfully granted.
This proposition led to . long discussion, in
which most members of the Committee par
ticipatcd, Several Republicans desired to
know what guarantees were desired, because
j general declaration like this might raise ex-
pectations which could not be fulfilled. If
The States proposing to secede were arrested
l,y the belief that such Legislation a they de-
manded was 10 be obtained, and finally disap-
pointed, it was caBy to forcsee that the present
discords would be aggravated. It was con-
tended, on the other side, that an initial point
for negotiation between the two sections ought
form Of guarantees OF legislation might be
better considered.
These were the general features Of the de-
hate, ut which 1car1y all participated for five
hours Finally, Mr: Morrill, Of Vermont pro-
posed rs an amendment or substitute for blr.
Dunn's the following resolution:
Reached, That in the opinion Of this Committee,
ple: and the growing hostility among them to the
Federal Government. arc greatly to be regretted,
and TINT any reasonable, proper and constitutional
remedies. necessary to preserve the pence of the
eountsy and the pespctuity the Union. should be
promptly and cheerfully gsauted.

This result may or may not hare further sig
HI1cancc. The next point will be the form Of
remedies and guarantees. That after al, is the
practical question, and no opinion can be e1-
pressed until it is presented in plain and posi-
tive terms. The declaration to-day, however,

South 10 express q disposition, to make liberal
concessions. This view has be&n freely tele-
