when received a note from a friend,
stateing that Mr.. Whipple wanted 10 see

as he would be at home in half an hour.

on the way saw Mr.. Harris in the street,
and lei him know my business, and he
accompanied me.
We went TO Mr.. Wbipple's house. and
after waiting some little time Mr.. Whip
pie came in. We then commenced the
business Of our arrangement, and after
talking about ascertainng the facts IN the
case some time, MIR. Whipple read and
delivered 10 us paper in these words:
"Memordndum-An action forthwith TO
be brought in the U. S. Circuit Court,in-
volving the validity Of the Peoples Con.

The words in this paper italicsed arc
in the hand writing of Mr.. WhipPle, told
Mr.. Harris and myself, that the Govern
or and his Council would on the next day
have a meeting of the whole board, when
he hadao doutt that they would agree
to the arrangement, and that all arming,
&C, ought 10 cease.
The next morning early, called oL
Philip Allen, Esq. and after brief con-
versaton, he advised me to see Mr.Craw-
ford Allen, which did accordingly.
In the conversation with Mr.. G. Al
len, he appeared very anxious that hostili-
ties should cease on both sides. asked |
him whether in that case there could be
any assurance given that Gov. DOrr
would not be arrested. Mr.. Allen re-
Piled that hewouId go and see Mr.. Mos
es B. Ives, and then give me an answer.
lie accordingly went and soon returned
and told me if Gov. DOrr would go out
of town for few days he would not be
arrested, and that probably this course if
adopted by Gov, Dorr would lead 10 an
honorable compromise Of the whole mat
ter. This whole interview with both Of
these gentlemen was owing TO what took
place tie evening before in an interview
between them and other gentleman and
Gov. DOR at my house.
returned Immediately TO my house,
and, soon afier Mr.. Crawford Allen came.
He had talk with Gov, Dorr, in which
he assured him. that if he wouldileave the
State, all difficulties would be amcably
apiusted in his opoinion. To this Gov.
ernor Dorr consented. and he and Mr.C.
Allen Immediately rode away in carriage
without saying one word Of his intention
10 anv other person in or about the
house.
About the time that Mr. G. Allen call
ed on Gov Dorr, on Wednesday morn
ing, letter was handed TO Gov. Dor
signedby nearly all theSenators and Rep
Fesentaliyes in this city, advising him 10
20 out of town. and stateiDg to him that
they were about to resign.
Upon thess negotiations. understanding
and assurance, I,went 10 the entry wind
ow upstairs, and addressed the people up
on this subject, and upon these grounds,
I thought / had good right TO assure
Them that an honorable compromise would
take place--such d one as would pre-
serve theif principles,
