the inccndiary, and the ds-union portion Of
the copiejeIary, and jusli6es and covers
all that the Rhe,rs of the South may do or

measure of the adjustment, Union IS mol
possible. The hest friends OF the Union
have their mouths shut--and all plea and
argument for the Union taken from them.
The principle of the compromise is that OF
neutrality. If the North will not yield that
