The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1861-06-06

The allegation In the newspaper as false as it
was unworthy of the city of Philadelphia that Mr.
Williams left the city.
Distrct-Attorney Coffey said he was sorry Mr..
Williams was not present. lie had mistaken the
feelings and habits of the people Of PHILADELPHIA
who obey the laws of the land.
Judge Cadwalader now stated that he had no
doubt that II the subject had been mentioned to
him, Mr. Williams would have been safe because
an order would have been made to the Marshal to
see that his officers protected him in the discharge
Of his duty to his client. The views of the Dis
trict-A attorney, that Mr. Williams would have re-
celved no injury or inconvenience in PHILADELPHIA
were probably correct, but gentleman of another |
district coming to this court counsel was entitled
to protection as an officer of the court.
II the facts had been brought to the attention of
the court, the Judge would have made an order
which would have enabled the Marshal to summon |
the military and civil aid.

PEACE RESOLUTIONS IN THE SENATE OF
IOWA
We are gratiied in being able to Law before our
readers the following res buttons introduced into
the Senate of this State by Mr.. Duncombe and the
vote by which the Senate refused to lay it On the
table. This is indication that there is still left
healthy conservative constitutional sentiment in
Iowa, which needs but favorable opportunity to
manifest itself for the preservation of at least a
remnant of the Union, and of the political
rights resulting from the acknowledgment of the
/ Independence of the United States.
The following are the resolutions referred to:
HEREAS, AT this time nearly one-third of the
states OF this Union have taken upon themselves
the responsibility of Withdrawing their alIpoiance
to the federal government, and have established a
confederate government separate from the govern
ment of the United States, and establishing A CON
sttution Republican in form, and have sent Com
missoners to the federal government to negotiate
relative to the property and rights of the beiger-
ent parties; and
WHEREAS, 1t is not only desirable but indispensa-
nle to the security and welfare of the people of the
United States that terms of peace be ARRANGED he
tween the portions of the cOuntry in
war, before the bitterness of fraterna blaodshed
shall make arrangement impossible; and
HEREAs, The necessary consequences Of such
war would be the ruin of thousands of Low al citi
zens in the States now seeded and in other nor
uons OF the Union, who are in no way responsible
Tor the lratrlcldal war now commenced ia or I'M
fortunate country, and believing as we do that the
calm patriotism and reason of the American peopIe
may yet settle upon honorable terms the existing
troubles, and believing that civil war; if persisted
IN and pushed with the lnagnity which universal
" terzes all civil war; will only terminate in
an overw helming Indebtedness, public and private,
without benefiting either of the parties to this
controversy, and military desp0tism in which the
liberties OF the people will be dsregarded, the
butchery OF the patriotic and innocent citizens as
well as the guilty, and such war if possible to be
honorably avoided. is unpatriotic, unreasonable
and anti-christan; therefore
Resoleed, That the Senate of the State Of Iowa
recommend to the government of the United States
IN TINS their most earnest appeal that while every
preparation for the defence of the povernrna3t
shall he made cessation of actual hcstiiites NAV
take place until Congress shall have time to act in
the premises.
=. That we recommend to Congress the caIIino of
national Convention, for the settlement of our
national difficulties and that every possible honor
able means shall be first exhausted by the national
government before our prosperous neop!a no
lunged into civil war, the ultimate result of
which the Wisest cannot tOresee
D. That we are opposed to a war prosecuted for
the suhjugation of the seeding States while it is
possible amicably to settle the difficulties now ex
listing. va
A. That we are opposed to the prosecution of a
war against the seeded States, waped upder any
circumstances for the purpose OF emancipating the
slaves OF the Southern slaveholding States,
D. That the secretary of the Senate be requested
to forward copy of these resolutions to the Presi-
dent OF the United States, and to each of our
representatives in Congress.
