REPUBLICAN CN-OUS-NO COMPROMISE ON THE
rEnnITNRLA Al nrESTLON ACCEPTABLE.


The Republican members Of Congress held a meeting
on Saturday to consider the report OF Mr. Hale of Penn
sylyauia from the subcommittee OF the Border States
Mr. Hale said he believed the members OF his committee
representing the ;der slave States would agree to his
proposition, that all the territory of the United States
north of thryx degrees thirty minutes should be tree
and all South of that line TO remain as it is, with liberty
TO the people 10 organize into States whenever they
please with or without slavery. He Of opinion that
it might be better for the North to take this proposition
that TO precpitate the country into war
Mr. Howard, of Michigan said he objected to any
compromise because he believed it to be acknOwedg
ment of an error which he would not concede. lie de-
Tended the motives of the Republicans in the committee
OF thrtythrce and expressed the opinion that they had
done nothing that could be interpreted as surrender oil
their principles
Mr. Loveioy of Illinois, speaking of the indictments
of the slave States and the proposed compromise OF d-
vdug the territory between freedom and slavery to the
Pacific said There never more causeless revolt
since uCer led his cohorts of apostate angels against
the throne of God but never heard that the Almighty
proposed to compromise the matter by allowing the reb-
e. to kade the fires Of hell south of the celestial me-
ridan of thirty-six thirty"
This outburst of the eccentric member from Illinois
created deal of sensation aud some merriment.
Mr. Sherman stated that, as a member of the border
subcommittee from the border States, he could neither
for the proposition proposed by Mr. Hale, nor that
proposed by Mr. Ortendcn restore the Missouri line
aud extend it 70 the Pacific. He was also opposed to
the compromise to prevent the abolition of slavery in
the District of Columbia. While he did not wish to
abolish it now he was opposed to Congress yielding up
the right to do so at any future period.
Mr. Grow, of Pennsylvania expressed himself decided
ly opposed to all compromises.
Messrs. Hickman and Stevens, Of Pennsylvania, and
OIso, Of Indiana, opposed all compromises.
Mr. Petit, OF Indiana, from the subcommittee OF
border States said he had opposed all the propositions
in that committee except the one proposed by Mr. Hale
HI IL al fba hnr q
States for their Efforts TO arrange matters.
Mr. Beal Of New York, inquired why his State was
not consulted? Mr.. Petit replied New York was not
upon the immediate border of the slave States.
Mr. Stanton, Of Ohio, and Mr.. Nixon, OF New Jersey
expressed themselves in favor ofsome compromise.
Mr. Dawes of Massachusetts, moved that vote be
taken on any of the propositions and that the caucu
adj ourn sine die; which carried.
