them would have voted for the compromise line Of 80
deg 80 min (acting with the southern members) if
they could have counted upon il part OF general
system OF compromise that they would have rsked
them selves by voting for that amendment, in order to
carry the bill and give peace to their country but
since they have seen the Compromise bill broken up by
some OF the southern votes, they themselves longer
under such obligation or inducemeni. ss
