PHILADELPHIA.-A large meeting of the cit.
liens Of this city, irrespective of party, was held
on Saturday evening, at National Hall. At
least 5000 persons were present Colonel Will
liam D. Lewis presided, assisted by Commo.
dore Stewart, Major General Robert Patterson,
and others. Resolutions were adopted heartily
approving of the conduct of Major Anderson,
calling on the President to provide him with
all the force he requires for the defence of his
position, declaring that all persons who wage
war against the United States, and all who aid,
counsel, and sanction them, are public enemies,
and declaring that the American flag shall be
protected to the last extremity. Speeches were
made by j. Murray Rush, Democrat; Charles
Gibbons, Republican and Mark Mundy, Con.
stitutional Union.

THE COMMITTEE OF THIRTY.THREE.

THE COMMITTEE OF THIRTY.THREE.
This committee closed its labors yesterday,
by adopting the two propositions of Mr.. Dunn,
that laws be passed to protect the States from
armed invasion, and to secure the safety OF
citizens of the several States, travelling or So
journing in other States.
What remains to be done, is to prepare bills
in detail, to etfectuate the various votes of the
committee, as follows:
To authorize the admission Of New Mexico.
To amend the fugitive slave law, by giving a
trial by jury at the place Of escape, and in con-
nection with this, to request the States to re-
peal personal liberty laws.
To propose such an amendment of the Con.
stitution, as will make it incapable of any fu.
ture amendment, by which slavery in the States
can be meddled with.
To protect the States from armed invasion.
To assure the safety Of those who travel, or
sojourn, in States Of which they are not citi.
zens.

Ohio Legislature,

Columbus, Jan. THE Legislature met to-
day. The Governors message is occupied
mainly with State affairs. He recommends
more effective organization Of the militia; the
present organized militia numbering only about
1,2OO men, while the unorganized force is es
timated at 2S5000 men. No special promi
nence is given to this subject.
The Governor argues at some length in de.
fence of his course in refusing the requistions
of the Governors of Kentucky and Tennessee
for persons accused Of aiding in the escape Of
fugitive slaves.
He discusses the secession question, denying
the right Of any State to secede at pleasure, and
affirming that Ohio remains loyal to the Union
and the Constitution.
He suggests the repeal Of the obnoxious fea
lures of the fugitive slave law, and the repeal
of any personal liberty bills subversive of the
fugitive law would thus be secured; at the
same time, the Southern States should repeal
their laws in contravention Of the constitutional
rights of citizens Of the free States, who cannot
be satisfied with less, and who will insist upon
their constitutional rights in every State and
Territory Of this Confederacy. These they
cheerfully accord TO citizens Of Southern States.
Determined TO do no wrong, they will not con-
tentedly submit to wrong, and are unawed by
any threats.
They demand the employment of all the con.
stitutonal powers of the Federal Government
to maintain and preserve the Union. He rejects
the whole theory of State secession as palpa.
BILE violation of the Constitution, and cannot
consent to the exercise of any power unless
under its sanction. The integrity Of this
Union-its oneness and individuality be
preserved.

TREASURY NorEs.-It is, we believe, no Sc.
cret, that the New York capitalists who have
proposed to take up the balance Of the FIVE
millions of Treasury notes, hesitate about pay
ing the money, so long as secessionist is at
the head Of the Treasury They say that they
will loan any amount, hundred millions if
wanted, if they can be assured that the Gov.
ernment means firmly to repress treason. But
with a secessionist at the Cabinet board, what
confidence can they have?
1t is also believed, that q Northern Demo.
cratic Senator demonstrated yesterday with
the President, with more energy than defer
ence, against the longer retention of Thomas
in the Treasury.
The national Republican., 1861-01-09

HARPER's FERRY.-The Star states, that on
Sunday night, there was a collection of armed
men at Harper's Ferry, principally from Charles,
town and Martinsburg, with the manifest pur.
pose Of preventing the occupation Of the United
States armory by United States troops, but
that the purpose was given up in consequence
of the opposition of the citizens of the town.
The United States troops arrived on Monday
evening, and everything is now safe especially
as Governor Hicks, Of Maryland, can send up
militia in Eve hours from Baltimore.
Mr.. Boteler, the Representative Of that dis
triea in Congress, advised strongly against this
occupation by the United States troops but
-ss oyeruled by the War Department. Mr..
B0:slers theory Of policy is, doubtless, that Of
the General who commanded at the battle Of
Hsmyden. He told his men not TO fire at the
British, "as Il pould only nuke them The mad
dez.- Mr. Boteler wished to leave great pub.
lie works defenceless, from the fear Of making
s2msbp5y " mad."
