To satisfy hourly inquiries upon the
subject. we give below the Statement
made bv the Committee of n;petea,
to wait on the President and demaId
the return of MIR. Vallandipham from
"exile." As to the pronr;etv Of an.

not necessary now to discuss. Their
action with the President on the sub.
iect is the important noint as Il must
deyelop still further the unconstitu.
tional purpose of Mr. Lincoln and his
partv.
