i / will not say word in relation to subject upon

paramount TO all othefs-I aude the Compromise II
III had been opposed TO that measure, it seems TO me,

The present age their former honorable achievements
and its presentation in this body by chairman whose
experience and high standing elevate him 10 unri
vailed position-when, under these imposing circum.

sideraton. Detective though II may be IN some patcu.
lars should be tempted TO dsrust my own judgment II

object to which il looks is of paramount Importance not

the civilized world; for should compromise be effected,
and distraction aud anarchy stalk abroad, what happ
ness look for or what perpe,uty oil freedom can
anticipate Under these circumstances am disposed
TO give every possible aid TO the measure, IN the hope
that twill be made acceptable that may soothe or quiet
the present distraction, until more fortunate circumstances
shall dspe all clouds and hush the ang elements to

way he has treated Texas, still desire to make the
which is no, well done. The President did say in rea.
