mittee of Thirteen and the Republican members of the House Committee were in caucus on Wednesday. In each assemblage the following propositions, which originated with Senator Grimes, but were advocated and presented in the Senate Committee by Gov. Seward, have been discussed. They are regarded as the ultimatum of the Republicans: I. That the Constitution shall never be so amended as to permit the interference of the Federal Government with slavery in the States, and that this shall be bs submitted another resolution, to the effect that fugitive slaves shall be surrendered under the law of 1850, without being entitled to writ of habeas corpus, or trial by jury, or obstruction of any law by State legislation. Against this Mr. Seward and all his friends voted. No action was taken on the programme of Mr. Douglas. It seems to be understood that his main proposition, in reference to the government of the Territories, will not be acceded to by either side. Mr. Critte

After showing that Lincoln had neither the power nor the means to raise an army, he playfully asked, where such an army, if it could be raised, were to get officers from?--Burlingame, said he, will fight nowhere but in Canada! Then, who will command the Satanic army? Will Sumner take command? Not he! Shake a rattan at him, and he would be gone! Then, there is Seward, Giddings, Hale — are they the officers to subjugate us?--Surely not. It has been whispered that Gen. Winfield Scott would take command of an army to coerce the South. Said the speaker, I do not believe it. Brave and gallant as he is, he does not emulate the fate of Arnold. If he could be induced to attempt the subjugation of his native State, he would deserve and receive a traitor's doom. Judge R urged the passage of the committee's resolutions, as a fair and honorable compromise, and co
