The resolution was adopted as a substitute for the address, and the caucus adjourned sine dis. New York, July 13. A special to the Times, Washington 12th says: The border State representatives are holding a caucus to night, to consider and frame a reply to the President. - There are three points apparontly agreed on: First, that the border States have como up to the full demanda of the govermnent made on thein, and have raised fully 80,000 meo, and will raise their quota under the new cali. As regnrds the President's emaneipatiou offer, they say it is not practicable nor specific. It proposes a chango which can only be enforced through fotute conventions. Kentucky's present constitution requires four years to cali a conventiou and have it meet. After getting a State's consent there would be no act of Congress to consunimate, and the question would still be an open one whether the government could appropriatc themilüons needed to carry out the schenie. Specific Icgislation should precedo Stato preparations. To obvíate the delay of organized State action the border Stato representativos think the offer should be made at once and directly to individual citizens of slave States, and then the question will bc at once solved. Congress would at once prove its willingness to appropriatc the mouey, and the people of the States would show their readiness to aid the Union even at the sacrifice of a radical chango in their social organization. ín conclusión we assure the President that our constituents revero tho constitution and Union as doarly as ever; that tliey admiro his heroic efforts so f;ir to preserve both, and on that platform will not be surpassed by any portion of the Union furnishing nien and money for the work.
