TuE REPORTED CORRESPONDENTS BETWEEN
GOV. pIcKgEs AND THE PRESIDENT.
There is no truth in the statement that cor.
respondence has occurred between Gos. Picksns
Of South Carolina and the President conceraiog
the presence of Revenue cutter at Charleston,
or that any vessel has been sent there. The
rumors may have originated in the fact that the
cutters now at Baltimore and Mobile haze been
ordered to exchange stations.
MIR. NICHoLsON's SPEECH.
Mr.. Nicholson's speech was vastly inferior IN
matter and tone to that Of bis colleague, An
drew johnson. 1t was a hating performance
throughout half secession and half Union with
Pro-Slavery direction, showing him to be
under the manipulation of Messrs. sldell, DAVIS,
and the Disunion managers, who started this
movement as a political game, but now I'M
able TO control their own work, when it bss
become desperate and dangerous

TIE COMMITTEE OF THIRTEEN.
The Committee of thirteen sat three hours to.
day. aud reached one important result. Ii has
been constantly charged BY the South, and wss
repeated in Nr. Nchcsons speech to-day, that
the growing power of the Republican party
threatened amendments Of the Constitution by
which their rights in the States would be inn
paired, if not destroyed. To meet this difficulty
the Republicans conferred together, and submit
ted the following propositions through Dir. Seward.
though they were drawn by Messrs. Grimes md
COlamS:
First. No amendment shall be made 10 the Consi
tuition With will authorize give to Congress any
power 20 abolish interfere in any State With the do
nestle institutions thereof including that Of persona
held TO service or labor by the laws of such State.

Second: The Fugitive Slave law Of 1850 shall be
20 amended 10 secure 70 the alleged fugitive trl
by jury. .-8
Mr.. Douglas proposed to amend b inserting
'.in the State from which the fugitive escaped"
This was carried, and then the whole proposition
was voted down By the Democrats, all the Re-
pubcans sustaining it.
Ttiyd II shall be respectfully recommended TO the
several State Legislatures TO review all Of their laws
affecting the rights Of PEI recently resident IN other
States, and modify or repeal all such as shall CON
United States Of any Of the laws made in pursuance
thereof.
This was lost as fonOws-

Biyler and Rice.
The Southern men voted adversely upon the
ground that, though it was not openly assigned,
his proposition would affect their laws mprison-
ng c0lored seamen.
1t will be seen that the extremists would not
sustain the propositions intended TO meet the
'ery eases they had specifically charged agsins
he North.
Mr.. Toonbss resolutions we're then called up,
md four Of them voted upon, Mr. Douglas re-
using to 60 upon the record. They we're then
postponed till Wednesday, Mr.. Toombs and ths
lltras resisting any delay. And, for the trans
parent object Of using the action of the Commit
zee to operate upon the pending elections for the
Southern Conventions, Mr.. Davis offered the fol.
owing resolution, which lies over with tina
)thers:
That it shai he declared by amendment Of the Con-
tituton that property in Slaves recognized as such
)y the local law OF any Of the States of the Union
hall stand on the same footing in all constitutional
md Federal relations any other species of property
70 recognized; and Ike other property, shall not DO
ubject be Invested impaired by The local law Of
my other State either in escape thereto or 10y the
raDsit soj0urn Of the owner therein. And in no
aSe whatever shall such property be subject to bo
