MINORITY REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF
THIRTY-THREE.

WASHINGTON Jan. 20, 1861.
The minority report from the Committee Of Thirty
three signed by Messrs Taylor OF louisiana Phelps Of
Missouri Rust Of Arkansas wheley, of Delaware and
wnslow, of North Carolina, embraces in substance
Tho changes which have taken place in the situation
md sentiments of the people Of the different States since
the formation Of the constitution have been such hn
through misconstructons of of its provisions and
the wul perversion Of Others and the introduction OF
principles in the formation Of parties which in
direct anagonism the usagcs and opinions Of the whole
American people when the constitution went into effect,
that instrument has ceased TO accomplish Of the
most important ends aimed at by its adop-
ton The differences between the Northern and
Southern sections of tho confederacy from this
cause have at last risen to such height that
have resulted in the formation of sectional party
in the North the slavery question alone which viii
practically exclude the Southern people from any
in the nagement of the national affairs, which they
have common interest with their Northern brethren;
and that as this fact, Notwithstanding the republican
forms Of the constitution preserved in truth de-
sroys tho spirit Of republcanism in the government,
il is therefore, impossible that The two sections should
any longer 60 together people, unless the
ing state of things is removed.
The report proceeds say that the present difficulties
can only be rcmedied by amendments 10 the coIstitu-
ton and suggests that the amendments proposed in the
CritenGen resolutions IL adopted would restore tran
oulity 10 the country, and place the Union on such
a foundation that could again be shaken These
amendments, the report ass9r.s would not IN reality,
change tho constitution. They would only hare the
eject of restoring II by tho added provisions Of what It
was in point Of act he dAr n its adoption, through
u. operation Of tho circumstances which then
rounded it, snd which erected the barriers against the
present sectional contests constitutional provisions
would now II q constitutional majority cannot be
united in The support Of the "Grtenden resolutions,
the substance Of them, thcn dissolution o. the Union is
inevitable
The report recommends that steps be taken for the
calling of Convention of the states, with view to
peaccabe epa-ation by providing for partition of the
common property Of the United States, settling the
terms on which the social and commercial intercourse
between the separated states sla be conducted, and
making permanent arrangement with respect 10 the
navigation Of the Mississippi river.
The report gives what the signers OF il consider fun
account or the rise and progress of the slavery agitation
which has produced the existing difficulties.
