The Committee Of Thirty.three

Ihe Committee OF Thirty-three.
The following resolutions, offered in the
Crisis Committee of Thirty three, in the
House, BY Mr.. Bristow, of Kentucky, were
adopted by the Committee, on the Sd inst.
as expressive of their views and feelings:
ResoIsed, That we recognize slavery Is now
ex sting IN fifteen of the United States bv the
usages and laws of those States, and we
recognize no authority, legal or otherwise.
outside OF State where it so exists, to inter.
tere With slaves or slavery in such States. in
disregard of the rights of their owners or the
peace of society.
Resolvsd, That we recognize the Justice and
propriety Of a faithful execution of the Con.
stltution and all laws made IN pursuance
thereof, including those on the subject of
fugitive slaves or fugitivas from labor or
service, and diseountenances all mobs or him
drance to the execution of such laws. and
that citizens of each State shall be entitled to
all the privileges and immunities Of the
citizens of the several States,
Resolred, That we recognize no such con-
hlcting elements in the Constitution, or sufi- |
clent cause from any source for dissolution
OF this government; that we were not sent
here to destroy but to sustain and harmonize
the institutions Of the country, and to see that
equal justice is done to all parts of the same,
and finally toperpetuate its existence on terms
OF equality and justice to all the States.
These resolutions are eminently sound, and |
the country generally will endorse their
sentiments. Since Southern and Northern |
men can agree on that platforrn, we see no
good reason for difficulty.

IHRsE MURDERS AND SUIoIDE.-The Ke-
osauqua Republican learns of the following
horrid tragedy, which occurred on Christ.
mas night, near Upton, Scotland county,
Mo-:
Mr.. Thomas Ridgely, man about forty
i've years OF age, of sober and industrious
habits, member of the United Brethren
Church, after social interview with some
OF his nelghbors, which ended with singing
and prayer, seems to have been suddenly
changed into fiend of hell, and commenced
the slaughter of his wife and family, which
consisted Of his wife and five children, and
never ceased the work of death until he had
cut down and stabbed five of the household,
one, small child, only escaping uniniured
His wife, boy about - or 13 years of
age, and little girl were killed; and one
little boy and girl were wounded. After
this diabolical work, Ridgely went about
half q mile from his house, where he was
found next morning, dead, with his throat
cut from ear to ear.

California True to the Union.
FoRT KEARNEY, Jan. 4.
The Pony Express, with San Francisco
dates to the 22d ult., passed here at IL o clock
last night. The Pony Express, with st. Louis
dates to Dec. 4, reached San francisco on the
goth ult.
The Presidents Message was telegraphed
from St. Louis to Fort Kearney, where it
overlook the pony on the 7th inst, and thus
came through to Sacramento, arriving on the
10Th. It was telegraphed thence to San
Francisco by two wires, and Immediately
published in the Bulletin and Alta California.
The reading of the Message and the pro-
ceedings OF Congress up to the 7th of Decem-
Der tend to increase the anxiety of the people
concerning the critical condition of the Union.
The entire press of the State now take serious
views of the secession movement, and favor
the preservation of the Union, if possible, by
mutual concessions. All the Republican
papers advocate the repeal Of the Personal
Liberty Bills of the Northern States. There
is some talk of organising Pacific Republic,
if the South secedes; but the present senti-
ment of vast majority of the people is un-
doubtedly to strive to preserve the Union as
it is, and to stay with all that remains of the
Union, if any portion secedes.
The Legislature Of Washington Territory
was in session. Paul K. Subbs was elected
President of the Council. The Douglas Dem
ocrats have majority in the Council, and
plurality in the House.

Message Of the Governor Of New
York,

AAOANx1 Oons y.
The Legislature met at II o'clock this
morning. The Governor, in his message,
in relation to national affairs, says in his
opinion secession is disunion, and disunion,
SO soon as it shall take form proportion, is
treason, which it will be tho duty of the gen.
cral government to arrest and punish. To
permit or acquiesce in reasonable conspiracy
against the national authorities is to confess
that our government is an absolute failure.
Tho people Of New York are not prepared
for such an admission and in the enforce
ment of the laws will give their earnest,
faithful and constant support. New York
does not ask, nor does she desire the resto-
ration of the Missouri Compromise Line
After full and free discussion, her people
have declared against the extension of
slavery into any Of the Territories, and this
they regard as final disposition Of that
question till revoked by the Same authority.
Ever ready, nevertheless, - she has proved
herself TO be heretofore, New York will, in
oil honorable ways, endsavor to reconcile
the estsangements now existing in the ooun-
try. The action of nagnanimous and 10y
al State should be patient, calm, ooneiliatory
and fraternal, without tho surrender Of i'm
portant rights nor the sacri6cs OF vital
principles. i.
Gov. Morgan, recommends the repeal Of
the so.callsd Personal Liberty Law, although
it 10 entirely imperative and without any
disposition to interfere, he respectfully in
vites all States that have laws of this charac-
tor, conflicting with the Federal Constitution,
to repeal them. lie thinks it would be well
for the Legislature Of New York State to
give solemn assurances to the Southern
States that their rights under the Federal
Constitution and the laws are recognized,
and will, on the part Of the people Of this
State, berespected and maintainedinviolable.

JEFFERsoN's THEORY OF THE PREs1DENT's
Duty IN CASE OF SECESSION In answer to
some questions propounded to him by M.
de Meusnier, Jefferson used the following
striking language:
1t has been often said that the decisions
Of Congress are imposent, because the Con-
federation provides no. compulsory power.
But when two or more nations enter into
compact, it is not usual for them to say what
shall be done to the party that infringes it.
Decency forbids this, and it is as unneces-
sary as it is indecent, because the right of
compulsion naturally results to the party
injured by the breach. When any one State
of the American Union refuses obedience to
the Confederation by which they have bound
themselves, the rest have natural right to
compel them to obedience. Congress would
probably exercise long patience before they
would recur to force, but if the case ulti-
mately required it, they would use that
recurrence. Should this case ever arise, they
will probably coerce by naval force, as
being more easy, less dangerous to liberty,
and less likely to produce much bloodsbed."

Found Our.-lt is said that one cause of
the rapid decline of Missouri and other State
bonds, and the consequent panic just after
the election, was the fact that the bonds
stolen by GODDARD Bailey were all thrown
upon the market at once and forced off in q
hurry. 5-
So it appears, after all, that it was not
Lincoln's election, but the rascality of Dem
ocratic officials that caused the decline In

WHY THE COMMITTEES OF THIRTEEN HAS
FAlLED.-The Washington correspondent OF
the Philadelphia Prsss writes:
conservative men on the Committee assure
me that at its first meeting the temper shown
by some of the Southern Senators was such
as to prevent, rather than invite, the cooper
alton of the Republicans in ascertaining the
real causes which lie at the bottom of our
difficulties, with the view of ascertaining what
remedies would restore peace. OF course, it
could not be expected that the Republicans
would propose measures of conciliation and
compromise, when, instead of specifying their
wrongs, the Secessionists INDUCED in bitter
denunciation of the party; at the same time
they demanded that 1t should surrender all
its principles" s

~The retiring Governor of Michigan
in his message to the Legislature, delivered
on the I'd inst, takes strong ground against
the right of secession, charges the President
of the United States with misrepresenting
the principles of the Republican party, and
attributes the present sectional excitement
to misrepresentation ef the Eorthern DEM
ocratic press as to the intentions andcesigns
OF that party. In relation to the Personal
Liberty laws of that State, he says if they
are unconstitutional and in conflict with the
Fugitive Slave Law, they should be repealed,
but says these laws are right and speak the
sentiments of the people, and are in accord
ance with the Constita ton, and ought moi
to be repealed.
