THE COMMITTEE OF THIRTY-THREE.
The Committee of Thirty-three substantially
concluded their labOrs to-day. Most of the sit
ting was devoted to the discussion of two propO
sitions, submitted by Mr. Dunn-one to prevent
armed invasion of the States, aud the other to
protect citizens of one State while travelling or
sojourping in another. They were referred to a
subcommittee, consisting of Messrs. Dunn, Mill
son, and Davis. Bills are now to be prepared
for the various subjects which the Committee
will recommend, namely: An enabling act for
the admission of New-Mexico; bill to amend
the Fugitive Slave law: resolution requesting
the repeal of the Personal Liberty bills, and an
amendment to the Constitution, that Congress
shall not interfere with the domestic institutions
of any of the States, without the consent Of oil
of them. II was iDtimated that these PROPOSE
tons would not be presented to the House form
ally, unless the South gave an assurance in ad-
vance that they would be satisfactory, as set
tlement If refused, they will be submitted with
a statement that the overture has been rejected,
and, therefore, no action is needed. Mr.. Corwin
will prepare a report Immediately.

spirits, and hopes that reason will operate upon
q misguided people before long.
