The Report of the Commits tee OF Thir-
tys three.

The majority of the Committee of Thirty
three, in their report. propose amendment
to the Constitution, providing that no amend
ment thereto interfering with Slavery shall
originate in any other State, than a slavehold-
ing State, and to be valid, shall be ratified by
every State in the Union.
They also submit an enabling bill for the
admission of New Mexico as a State, on an
equal footing with the original States, and
fugitive slave bill, which gives the right of
trial by jury to the slave claiming liberty i'm the
State whence he escaped, and releases any citi-
zen from assisting the United States marshals
in the capture or detection of the fugitive ex-
cept where force is employed or apprehended
for the release of the fugitive.
The committee submit Joint resolution de-
precating personal liberty bills (but not by that
name) and requesting the Northern States to
Cause their statutes to be revised in order that all
hindrances to the just execution of the laws may
be removed. The President is requested { COM
muncate this resolution to the several States.
They also report series of resolutions recog-
nizing no authority the part of the people of
State to interfere with the institutions of an
other, and discomtenancing all mObs and hin
ORANGES to the rendition of fugitive slaves They
recognize such conflicting elements in its com
position, or sufficient cause from any source for a
dissolution Of the Government They were nc.
sent here to destroy, but to sustain and harmonic
the institutions of the country, and see that equal
justice is done to all parts of the same and finally
to perpetuate its existence on terms of equality
and justice to all the States.
As no propositions for interference with slavery
in the District of Columbia, United States dock
yards, arsenals, etc, have reached the committee
they have not deemed it necessary TO take action
on the subject.
Another set of resolutions is with reference to
the duties of the States and the Federal Govern
ment, referring to the duty Of all Constitutional
obligations, and ascertaining that the Federal
Government should enforce the laws and preserve
the union of the States concluding with recon-
mendation of a law providing for the rendition OF
fugitives charged with treason, felony or other
crimes.

The Sentiment of Kentucky.

We learn from friend who has recently visited
there to ascertain the sentiment of the leading men
of the State, of all parties, that the feeling there
is as strong for secession in South Carolina, if
the CRIrTENDEN amendment, some similar plan
for adjusting the political difficulties of the cOun
try, should be refused by the dominant party in
the North. Before the Inauguration of an anti
slavery administration, unless the sectional diff
ferences should be previously settled, the South
will be unit for and in secession. There is no
more loyal State to the Union than Kentucky,
not one that feels more the importance of pre-
serving it or that has stronger interest in main
tanning it, and vet she prefers dissolution to
surrender of what she regards her Consti-
tutional rights in the Territories. The peo-
pie of Kentucky are willing to compro-
mise upon the principles of partition. on
the line of Sc deg. 30 min., with Constitutional
guarantees but if this is not conceded they prefer
separation to what they deem inequality in the
Union. The issue must be determined in short
time Six weeks from to-day Mr.. BUcHASAy's
term expires. 1t will soon be upon The
question addresses itself to each and every citi-
zen of the country, shall we permit this Admins
tration to go out with divided confederacy? I'm
less there is great change in the public mind of
both extremes of the country, we see no hope for
any other result The Kentucky Legislature
is now in session. called in reference to the pres
ent State of the country. In reference to its ac-
ton, the Louisville Democrat, decided conserv-
alive paper, remarks:
There are several propositions talked OTTO
adopt the Crittenden amendments, and submit
them to the Legislatures; to call on Congress for
a National Convention; to call for convention
of the slave States that have not seeded to call
for a convention of all the slave States to submit
the amendments to the Constitution to the popu-
lar vote of each State; to call State Convention;
to submit the question, whether should be
called, to the people, &c. We do not believe this
Legislature will act rashly The attachment to
the Union is strong, and every effort will be made
to save il.
But the sentiment against coercion is universal.
There will be little opposition to the opinion that
that this Union can not be saved by force.

STATE ITEMS.

-CouSrERFEIrER ARREsTED.-A man named
Ephraim Miner, indicted in the United States Dis
trict Court for passing counterfeit money, was
arrested yesterday by A. NJ. Pettingill and John
Beauchamp, few miles this side of Worthinr
ton Miner was brought to this city last night
and lodged in Jail, and will be taken to Indianap
oils this evening, to await his trial in the District
Court, which convenes on the odd inst-Terre
Haufe Journal.
-DEArH BY SUIcfDE.-We learn from the
South Bend Register that, on Sunday evening
last, Miss Julia Ann Stull, youngest daughter Of
Henry Stull, of South Bend township, committed
suicide by hanging herself. at the residence of
her brother law, j. NJ. Studaker, of that place.
She declined going to church with Mr.. Studaba-
ker and his wife, and when they returned at dusk
they found the doors locked ON the inside, and all
the curtains down. Mrs. Studabaker, on going
into the cellar, found Miss Stull hanging directly
over the stairs, suspended by the neck She had
hung herself by tying two towels together and
swining herself from the stairs. Her neck was
not broken, and the moose was quite loose. so that
she must have died by slow strangulation. It is
not known what motive prompted her to this deed
She was surrounded by large circle of friends,
all in easy circumstances, and she was both adj
mired and respected.

The New York World has lengthy notice of
Senator SEwARD's late speech, which cavils at
that distinguished Senator's craftsmanship. We
quote the concluding paragraph, that our readers
may see their drift:
Mr. Stewards answer to the question how to
save the Union, will be satisfactorily neither TO
friend nor foe. Applying to his plan the same
practical test which he has applied to the plans of
others, the clear result appears that is made
quate as he has declared theirs to be- The peo-
pie can and will save the Union he says, but hoi,
the people ask. In what way can the people act,
except through their authorized representatives in
Congress assembled? Yet Congressional com.
promises, he saws, are of no avail. Do they look
to him, leading statesman, for instructions
what to do, feeling that the peril is such as to re
quire all their wisdom to avert, or all their manll
ness to meet? The Senator replies, that we may
as well discard the prevalent idea or prejudice,
that "the Onion is to be saved by somebody in
particular He has nothing to say to the PEG
pie except that the Union is ines.imable, and its
dissolution cur universal ruin. When flames
burst out in our dwellings, can the firemen stay
away from the premises because the building is
valuable and the fire destructiyey
Republicanism, and every other political name
and thing, he declares, is subordinate to Union,
and the utterance is that of patriot. Ho,c is it
to be subordinate should have been the reply of a
statesman When the tide of events is running
on with such fearful velocity, the most patriotic
sentiments or signs are valueless, except exempli-
fed and supported by specific Recommendations.
Dropping out of sight all minor considerations,
we strike at once at the heart of the whole con-
troversy, namely, the question of the relative
rights of the States in the Federal Territories If
this could be satisfactorily settled, all the other
aatters Of difference couldbe adjusted in a single
day. Without the settlement of this, all hope of
peace between the two sections is de,uson. But
to this conclusion he has nothing to contribute.
Or, if he seems to have anything il is a sphinxs
riddle for which there is no Gdipus.
The Union can and will be saved by thepeople,
he saws. Neither Congress nor anybody in par
ticular can save it-but it will be saved
If, after lapse of time, it shall appear that
history makes his prophecy fact, he will deserve
high place among those political philosophers
whose just and wise ideas are the matrices of
national life.
But those who believe that civil war is now in
evitable, and that out of civil the North and
South can never issue united nation will see no
prescence in his optimism now; and hereafter,
even If the Union shall be preserved by war, they
will deny the praise of the highest craftsmanship
to him who, having the opportunity, did not pro-
nounce the decisive word which secured its pre-
servation by the more bengnant methods of
peace.

Where will Indiana GO il the Union is
DissOlvedt

This is becoming important question to the
people of Indiana. There is no question but that
a large majority of our people are in favor of
preserving the Union, and desire fair and equit
able settlement of the slavery question: settle
ment of it by amendments to the Constitution
that it will remain settled for all time to
But every thing looks gloomy for settlement of
the difficulties. The Northern States that have
violated the Constitution refuse to yield any thing
while on the other hand in the South, State after
State is going out of the Union; and others pre-
pairing to go Under these circumstances the
question naturally rises, where will Indiana gog
Will she go with the Northern States? Will she
be willing TO cut loose from all her natural allies
and form new ones with States that have, by open
violations of the Constitution, brought about this
state of thingsl Will she, after living up to
every requirement of the Constitution, enroll
herself under the banner of those that have vio-
lated it with impunity, and become the frontier
battlefield for a civil war-have the lives and
property of her people destroyed on account of
the wrongs committed by her sister States? We
think not.
There are other reasons why Indiana should
not go with the Northern States. The principal
part of her whole trade is with the Southern
States, and for large portion of it she can not
Southern trade, where will she find a market for
the large surplus in horses mules, cattle, sheep,
hogs, pork, -four, corn, lime and lumber, that she
has been sending to that market ever since she
has been State, and for which our Southern
neighbors have always paid them good pricesf 1t
is plain to be seen that we will have no market to
resort to.
1t is contended by some Of the Republicans that
the South will have to open their ports to our
trade Admit they do-will they not put a
heavy duty on our products? thereby causing
heavy loss to our producers. Others among them
say can turn our attention to grain raising, for
which we can find market in Europe. Unfor-
tunatey for this position, the Northern States
already furnish Europe with all the provisions
that they want, and have large stocks remaining
on hand every year. In 1889. the provisions
shipped to Europe amounted to only about $e9,-
600 900, of which the South furnished portion.
So it is plain to be seen that our producers can
not look in that direction for market.
Then what viii our people do, in the event OF
dissolution of the Union? Her interest points
to the South, the natural place for her to CO.

Restoration of the Missouri Compro-
mise..The Conscientious View.

In this connection, we give below the conclu-
sion of an able article in the January number of
the Princeton Reriep, from the pen of DR.. HODGE,
in his recent published sermon, to have "the
clearest head in the Old School Presbyterian
Church:
To the restoration of the Missouri compromise
we do not see thai any objection founded on con-
scentious principle can be urged. /. The whole
North with quiet consciences acquiesced in that
compromise. Why should its restoration be OPP
posed? 3 Although it repealed under the
plea that the act of $40 had constitutional au-
thority, vet it may be made perfectly binding and
secure as voluntary compact; or If necessary, by
a constitutional guarantee 3. Its restoration
does not imply any remuneration of the principle
that slavery rests on the Lea loci 1t only stipu-
lates that south of the latitude SO deg. 80 min.
slavery shall not be prohibited either by Federal
or Territorial legislation. A. No mans conscience,
therefore, as it seems to US, who accedes to this
measure, can charge him with being responsible
for the introduction of slavery by legal enactment
into territory now free. s. The border States
and conservative men generally at the South
would be satisfied BY this concession. The choice,
therefore, seems to be between compromise and
all the evils of dsunion. Should this choice be
submitted to the people, who can doubt that the
vast majority of them would joyfully vote for the
proposed measure? Certain il is that the party
that puts itself clearly in the wrong is lost. And
especially if the leaders of the Republican party
fail to secure the appreciation of the moderate, in
telligent and religious of the middle and
Northern States, by refusing all compromises and
assuming a defiant attitude toward the South,
they will ruin themselves, and, we fear, the coun-
try. MAY God grant rulers wisdom, fidelity
and moderation.

Union be destroyed and the country plunged into
civil war.
1t seems that party platforms, pride of opinion,
personal consistency, fear of political martyrdom,
are the only obstacles to satisfactory ADJUST
ment. Have we nothing else to live for bat po
ltical positionf Have we no other inducements,
no other incentive to efforts, our tolls and our
sacrifces2 Most of us have children, the objects
of our tenderest affections and deepest solcitude,
whom we hope to leave behind us to enjey the re-
wards of our labors in happy, prosperous and
united country under the best Government the
wisdom of man ever devised or the sun of Heaven
ever shone upon. Can we make no concessions
no sacrifices for the sake of our children that they
may have country to live in and Government
to protect them, when party platforms and polit-
ical honors shall avail US nothing in the day Of
final reckoningf
In conclusion, have only to renew the assur-
ance that am prepared to cooperate cordially
