ing resolutions:
n1eq. IN isa and s4s the Northern States adopted reso
sdopd counter resolutions declaring that they would
aec, in 1850 Compromise we're passed agreeing
that the people Of the Territories should decide the question
B1r.a. by me late election the Northern States reasrmed
their former position that Slavery he excluded;
lte scen destructive Of the equality Of the States and
pose dsolve their political connection and such result
and perhaps with horrors neye' before recorded
HhereoS appears that the present system government is
IS.s IN siias dea les our fathers to adopt, n.
.oCS That the several States be requested to send Com
sefes 10 esaint - on the me; that the

MI DOUGLAS Dem, ILL., suggested that they be
laid over and that all such resolutions be referred to
The Committee of Thirteen when raised.
The resolutions were laid over.
MIR, CRITTENDEN Is. Am, KY explained resO-
dution he intended to otter. Ii would practically re-
establish the Missouri Compromise declare that Con-
oress shall not interfere with Slavery IN the States,
proy iie for the faithful performance of the Fugitive
Slave;gvy. &c. He said we were in troublous times,
which required combination and sacrifice BY every lover
OF the ULion. Calm reflection was necessary. If this
mighty experiment be oyerthrown 1t will be
the greatest stock ever received by civilization,
worse than the French Revolution. Suppose the
Southern States and ak TO 20 out, and ask for
fair division would tie North refuse Would 1t not
give them all they now have! Is i then mere party
spirit now that prevents giving them all they would
get by establishing the line be proposed What would
they gain by a refusal Nothing would be gained,
bu; al the fatal consequences Of disuDion would come
In view Of these mighty consequences and great
events is it MOI better TO settle it on the Missouri Com
promise line! The people were satisfied with that Tor
ibitv wears, and would be satisfied with it again. 1t
was bis settled conviction, thai unless something s
peo, lie in less than Fix months. Is not this
fbe ctespest piIce to pay for the Union
Some PEOPLE were afraid. Bot so sure as he stood
there, disunion would follow unless soneImpS was
trckv 81 true a State yet exists IN the lnion lie
thought the North ought TO be satisfied: Inc south
has only one third Of the territory. When we come
10 make Teace offering, do we measure carefully ana
o,t every cent Ii was glorious sacrifice Of parry
IA .sve the Uuior-a Union which bad cost much
sacrifice Washington said Providence helped them
Il tii- great work 70 he dashed IN pieces Inc
nres1nt trouble was the result OF Il long contro-
,e,sy. sad we have now con to a pace where the
rre-eryation of the country demands the sacrihCe
