In 1850, after the passage Of the Compromise
measures Henry CLAW wrote as follows:

SuPpOss should be disappointed and tho standard should
be raised Of open resistance to the Union the Constitution and
the laws what to be doncl There be bur roe

The moment daring hand raised to resist by force
the execution Of the laws the duty enforcing them arises and
II the conflict which may should lead to civil war the
resisting party having begun It, win be responsible oz s the
consequences"
How different this from the language of the
sworn defenders of the Constitution and the
Union now in the seats Of power at Washington I!
President Buchanan weeps in private with terror
lest he should be asssssinated by the emissaries
of Southern treason, and proposes to surrender

said that he believes he will be the last Ameri-
can President; it is certainly to be hoped that
shere may never be another such as he.
