WASHINGTON, Dec. ID, 1860.

Nh. CoRwIS' committee of thrty-three was
in session nearly three hours on Monday, but
without making any material conclusion.--
The proposition OIL Winter Davis to amend
the fugitive slave law was discussed and laid
aside Mr.. Rust then presented what he call
ed the ultimatum of the South, and which
was the extension Of the Missouri compromise
line to California, with the recognition and
protection Of slavery south of it. 1t did not
however, meet with favor, and was likewise
laid aside. This action, it is said, induced
the Hon. Reuben Davis, Of Miss, to withdraw
from the committee, and to ask the House to
excuse him from further service thereon,
which was granted.

CHRIsrIAs.-Before the issue of another
number of the Sentinel the anniversary
of the birth of the Saviour Of the world will
have returned, and been celebrated by the in
habitants Of every portion of the civilized
world. 1t may not be inappropriate in MS to
suggest, that, while the pious and religious of
our country commemorate this great christian
holiday, they invoke God 5 blessing upon the
United States, and beg Of Him to avert the
threatened calamties Of disunion and civil
war.
To the children, this anniversary is espe-
cially acceptable, and is greeted by them with
more than customary demonstrations Of joy.
E" Kris Kringle is coming" and many a
stocking will be filled by this mysterious, yet
welcome visitor, and at the firstdawn ofday
the happy faces of our juveniles will beam
with delight as they receive the liberal gifts
of this " jolly old fellow"
In order to allow all connected with our
Office an opportunity to enjoy the several days
of holiday attached to this anniversary, we
may issue only half sheet next week.
We wish all happy Christmas.

To the People of the United states.
A Recommendations.

Numerous appeals have been made to me Nv
pious and patriotic associations and citiz'
in view Of the present It's racted and danger
Gus condition Of our c2aAaB, to recommend
that day be SCI apar for INSULATION, FAsf~
iSG, and PaAYER throughout the Union. In
compliance with their request and my own
sense of duty, | designate Friday, the An day
Of Jaauary 1861, for this purpose, and re-
commend that the people assemble on that
day, according to their several forms of wor-
ship, TO keep as a solemn Fast
The Union of the States is at the present
moment threatened with alarming and imme-
date danger-panic and distress of a fearful
charactef prevail throughout the land-our
lahoring population are without employment,
aad consequently deprived of the means of
earning their bread-indced, hope seems to
have deserted the minds of men. All classes
are in state of confusion and dismay and
the wisest counscis of our best and purest
men are wholly disregarded.
In this the hour of our calamity and peril
to whom shall we resort for relief but 10 the
God of our Fathers His 0mnipotent Arm
only can save us from the awful effects of our
own rimes and solies-our own ingratitude
and guilt towards our Heavenly Father.
Let US, then, with deep contrtion and peni-
tent sorrow, unite in humbling ourselves be-
fore the Most High, in eonfessing our individu-
the justice of our punishment. Let us i'm
plore Him TO remove from our hearts that
false pride Of opinion which would impel us
to persevere in wrong for the sake of consis-
tency, rather than yield a just submission to
the Unforeseen exigencies by which we are
now surrounded. Letus, with deep reverence,
beseech Him to restore the friendship and good
will which prevailed, in former days, among
the people of the several States; and, above
all, to save us from the horrors of civil war
and "blood-guiltiness" Let our fervent
prayers ascend to His Throne, that He would
not desert us in this hour of extreme peril, but
remember us as lie did our fathers in the
darkest days of the Revolution, and preserve
our Constitutions and our Union, the work of
their hands, for ages yet TO come. An 0mni-
potent Providence may oycrrule existing evils
for permanent good.
He can make the wrath Of man to praise
Him, and the remainder Of wrath He can re-
strain Let me invoke every individual in
whatever sphere Of life he may be placed, to
feel personal responsibility to God and his
country for keeping this day holy, and for
contributing all in his power to remove our
actual and impending calamites.

attention of our readers to this old and most
efiicacious remedy. 1t has stood the test of

can produce witnesses of its wonderful effects
in curing all lung diseases. That it is une-

by all the druggists throughout the country
1t stands on the firmest basis of any of the pa

given Of lis great virtues, we believe it is de-

VIEWS OF THE GOVERNOR OF KENTucKY.--A
circular letter has been addressed by Gov.
Magoflin, of Kentucky, TO the executives of
the slave States. 1t makes an earnest appeal
for the perpetuity of the Union, and submits
the following outline of propositions as ba-
sis of adjustment.
First-Repeaf by an amendment Of the
constitution of the United States, all laws in
the free States in any degree multiplying or OBJ
structing the execution of the fugitive slave
law.
Second-Amendmentst to said law to enforce
its thorough execution in all the free States,
providing compensation TO the owner of the
slave from the State which fails to deliver him
up under the requirements of the law, or
throws distractions in the way of his re-
covery.
Third-The passage of law by Congress,
compelling the Governors of free States to re-
turn fugitives from justice, indicted by a
grand jury in another State, for stealing or
enticing away a slave.
Fourth--To amend the constitution so as
to divide all the territories now belonging to
the United States, or hereafter to be acquired,
between the free and the slave States, say
upon the line of the thirty-seventh degree Of
north latitude-all north of that line to come
into the Union with requisite population as
free States, and all south of the same to come
in as slave States.
Fifth-To amend the constitution so as to
guarantee forever to all the States the free
navigation of the Mississippi river
| Sixth-To alter the constitution so as 10
give the South the power, say in the United
States Senate, to protect itself from unconsti-
tutonal and oppressive legislation upon the
subject of slavery.
