Intellect Of all the interyentonists in Con-
sress, to believe that any one Of them thinks
hat the Union could exist unless through the
doctrine of intervention.
In 1850 the agitators North and the agita-
tors Sauth got into similar trouble to the one
which now threatens us. The Northern free
sellers demanded the Wilinot Proyiso prohi-
biting slavery wherever the people wanted
it, Yancey at the head of the fire-eaters OF
the South demanded that Congress should
protect slavery wherever the people did not
want it. The issue then is precisely the IS
sue now. That issue was pushed then as IS
now--pertinacously pushed until the best
men in the country became alarmed. lest this
glorious Union should fall sacrifice to fac.
ton. Even the great Clay, Who had perfor-
med his glorious mission on earth. and who
had retired to the shades oi Ashland TO pre-
pare for another world, in his retirement
heard the harsh and dlscordant notes 81 dis
cord and sectional strife, and rousing himself

measures of 1850 was the result Of these
councils. They were The jnint works OF the
Union men Of the country. without reference
10 politics. The measures adopted by them
passed despite the joint efforts Of all disan-
ionlsts, and some patriotic men who had been
led to hope something better than compro-
mise nigh, be adopted. But you all know
that the compromise measures we're adopted,
and that they we're based upon the principle
Of non Intervention BY Congress with slavery
in the Territories. The compromise nra-
mres Of 1880, rejecting the wilmot Proyiso
on the one hand. and intervening on the 9TH

IN 1852. when the Wings assembled in Ma

minated Scott for the presidency, they aifr-

every Wing in America did the same thing
