WASHINGTON, Dec 6.
There can be no denial Of the fact that
the effect Of the message has been to en-
holden the seccders by it's adoption of the
secession doctrine. The 6tulf States dele
cations are certainly in a much more
+ quiet and contemplative frame of mind
than before
The impression gains strength daily
chat both South Carolina and Florida
have placed themselves in such position
that they must seccdeor back square out,
and that the efforts Of Congress to con-
ciliate viii be of no avail
Its rumored in republican circles that
two members of the party will soon make
speeches, arguing that peaceable seces-
I sion is an impossibility. The proposed
/ Senate committe is looked for with in

Bonham, Of South Carolina, will with
draw from the Military Committee next
week. Stanton, It's chairman, asked him
/ to attend the meeting of the committee
to day, to consider the state of the de-
/ fences Of Fort Moultrio, when Bonham
informed the chairman that he should re-
/ sign.
Senator Wade will, next week, make
speech showing the impossibility Of
peaccable secession. Hon. \. II. Stephens
has written here that the secession Of

licons say there is no doubt Of the session
of the cotton States.

WASHINGTON, Deg. 6.
The select committee on the perilous
4 condition of the country was announced
to-day, and will 90 to work and report
each proposition separately, as agreed on,
I. beginning with that Of fugitive slaves
This, it is believed, will strengthen the
conservative party in the Gulf States,
and prevent separate secession.
Houston and Cobb say their districts
will send thirty Of the one hundred dele
gates to the Alabama convention, pledged
against precipitation. Costa will send
three, Mobile four, Green three, aud
Autagua one, also pledged against it.
Serious apprehensions are expressed as
to the anticipated collision between the
Federal and State governmentafter South
Carolina shall have seeded from the
Union. Its supposed she will attempt
to control and regulate the port of
Charleston. The President says, in his
message, that he will continue to collect
the public revenue at that point. Castle

collision will be inevitable, soon after the
act Of secession shall be accomplished

entirely groundless. South Carolina will
do nothing hastily, which will involve q
collision with the Federal authorities
