Mr.. LINCOLN Nor AT HOME" TO Mr..
q REELEY.-The Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore american, in his letter of
Wednesday, says
The Hon. Lewis Cass, Ex.Secretary Of
State, called, in company with Mr.. Seward
this morning, and paid his respects to the
President. They cOnversed some time
on the present condition OF the country, and
the veteran statesman exhibited great
emotion as he addressed MIR. Lincoln in
relation to the difficulties by which he was
surrounded. Mr.. Lincoln was much affected,
and expressed himself as fully approaching
bis position.
Alter an interchange of opinion for more
than half hour, Mr.. Cass retired, in CON-
pany with bis son-in-law, Mr.. Ledyard,
leaving Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. Seward
closeted together. In few minutes after
General Cass had left, a servant appeared
with a card Endorsed H. Greeley" Mr..
Greeley was waiting in the passage, and
the servant returned in few minutes with
the reply that "Mr. Lincoln is engaged"
Mr.. Greeley questioned him, and on ascer.
tanning that Mr.. Seward was there, and that
he passed the card to him as he gave the
answer, was quite furious. He had just
arrived and presented himself in new black
suit, and a black beaver, looking better
than had seen him for some time. Having
cast the vote OF Oregon for Mr.. Lincoln, he
had cause to exclaim, Et tu Brute. There
is no longer any doubt that Mr.. Seward
has got the inside track of the Tribune.

Beautiful Extract.

The following beautiful extract from the

Texas, delivered in the House of Represen-

mand universal admiration. He is the

his determination to remain in the Union as
long as the star spangled banner shall wave:
In travelling hither from my home, more
than two thousand miles distant, for this
capital, for the discharge of public duty,
my foot pressed no spot of foreign territory.
Ny eye rested upon not one material object
during my journey, that was not a part and
parcel of my country, as fondly deemed
it. When we assembled together, so far as
/ know, every State and Territory was rep
resented on this floor. The great fabric OF
the Government was then complete but

but shorn OF its tair proportions, and marret
in its beauty. Pillar after pillar has

The Action Of the House Of Represents
attves.


The reception Of Washington papers en-
ables US to understand the action of the
House of Representatives on the report of
the Committee of Thirty three. The House
first rejected the proposal to call Nation
al Convention to revise and amend the
Constitution of the United States, by q
decisive vote of IA to 100. They next re.
jected MIR. KELLoGGs proposition, 80 to
l58-then that of Mr.. CLEMENS, 80 to l13,
and then adopted, by the decisive vote of
136 to So, the resolutions reported by Mr..
CoRw1N's Committee of Thirty.three. We
have already published these resolutions.
They declare substantially
l. That all proper and constitutional
remedies for existing discontents, and all
guarantees for existing rights, necessary to
preserve the Union, should be promptly
and cheerfully granted;
2. That all attempts to Obstruct the re-
covery of fugitive slaves are inconsistent
with interstate comfy, and dangerous to
the peace OF the Union;
8. That the several States be requested
to revise their statutes and repeal such as
may be in couhict with Federal laws on
this subject;
4. That Slavery is recognized as exist.
ing by usage in fifteen States, and there is
no authority outside those States to inter-
fere with it;
5. That the laws on the subject of fugi-
tives from labor should be faithfully exc
cuted, and that citizens of each State should
be entitled to all the privileges and immu-
mites of citizens in the several States.
6. That there is no cause for dissou-
ton of this Government, and that it is the
duty of Congress to preserve its existence
on terms of equality and justice to all the
States.
7. That the faithful observance of the
Constitution, on the part of the States, is
essential to the peace of the country.
8. That each State is requested to re-
wise its statutes, and amend them if neces-
sary, so as to protect citizens of other
States, who may be travelling therein,
against violence.
8. That each State be requested to
enact laws to punish invasious of other
States from its soil.
10. That copies Of these resolutions be
sent to the Governors and Legislatures of
the several States.
IL. That as no proposition has been
made to abolish slavery in the District of
Columbia or Government dock-yards, or to
interfere with the interstate Slave Trade,
no action on these subjects is needed.
