Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1861-02-22

South, have. control of the question, and it
| aoaN be settled. Sir, ne are now brought to
consider if there is any plan by which these
unhappy differences can be adjusted. Icon~
TESS can see none which better commends
itself to all sections than that offered by the
venerable Senator from Kentucky, MIR.
Crittenden; I think both sections eau
come to this proposition without any sacri.
flee of a practical question, and | shall ems
deaver to show this 1t provides, first, that
the Consultation shall be 80 amended that
slavery can never be interferred with in the
States. l shall not stop to discuss this branch
of the question, as large majority of the
Republicans, as | am Informed. are willing
to vote for it, and, of course, all southern
men and northern Democrats will. The
next is it proposes to divide the Territories
by the lire of $50 3V-aIl north to be free;
all south, slavery to be protected.
By the decision of the Supreme Court,
the South has right to carry slaves into
all the Territories and have them protected.
The South is willing to give up the rightto
carry slaves north of $50 30/, if you gen.
tlenen of the Republican party will agree
to protect slavery south of that line. True.
slavery never would 60 north of that line !;
but the South surrenders the right to take
them there. 1t is equally true that slavery
will never need protection south Of thai fine
IN any of our; territory. Then, fine South
agrees to yield the right to carry slaves
where, by the laws of nature, slavery new
er can go; and she asks you, in turn. to pro-
tect slavery where it never will need il 49,
Then the surrender of principle is mutual.
The surrender Of any practical, useful right,
is made by neither. For, by your Chicago
platform, you only propose to prohibit slav-
cry "where necessarily and, as it can new
er be necessary, you do not even violate
your party platform, about which you have
said so much. Mr.. Breckenridge said, in
December, 1859, ''the territorial question
is nearly fought out-yes, fought out. y
Since then. Kansas has been admitted
which, l think, determines all shat is broc-
teal in regard to the Territories Kansas
is free State. You have got the flesh and
the marrow of the Territories, will you NOT
divide the bone 3? Or will YOU break 81 the
Government rather than agree to protect
slavery where it will never be required p
viii you not come to this fair and equita-
bic division Of an abstraction, and give peace
to the country?, J think the Judgment of
the people, north as we'll as south, will say
you ought to do it.
The Crittenden amendment. thenf pyo-
poses to incorporate it into the Constitution,
that slavery shall not be abolished in this
District in the forts, dock-yards, navy yards
&c. You of the Republican party say you
have no idea of interfering with slavery in
the places, but they are matters too insig-
niGcant for constitutional amendment, land
Y thSt rssa., are willing to pass resolutions ex-
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1861-02-22

Of you and your party platform? Your
platform will fall with your country: while
you may rise to be the Napoleon of des-
potism." No parties then no platforms
then No, gentlemen, no; let us not con-
template such scenes as these but avert the
terrible calamity ere it be too late. We
can do it; we ought to do it; we must do it.
If had the power, [ would say, yvu shalt
do 1T.
In 1850, when the country was convuls-
ed from center to circumference on this very
question, Mr.. Webster, rising to the digni-'
ty and importance of the crisis, voted against
the Wimot proviso He said he was the
author of that measurs, but that he would
never exercise it when it would have no prac.,
tical effect. but only wound and insult his
southern brethren. Can you not do as he
did-that man of patriot heart, whose mind
so far scared above his peers, that where
others halted, weary in their fight, che
stopped to toSch' the loftiess thought Pr
Will you. like the sage of Marsh6ed, come
to the rescue of your country, and save it
from total destruction !? Or will you, ud-
der the name of executing the laws"
''Let slip the dogs OF war ?"
If you fail to do the former, but d. the lat
ter, T have 20 threats, no prophecies, to make,
I only ask Joa to remember that ''the race
is not always TO the swift, nor the blstle to
the strong" Virginia calls upon Massa--
chusetfs the same Massachusetts to whose
relief she fled Gin the days that tried mems
souls" Let the spirit which animated the
elder Adams, when he arose in the CONT
mental Congress and said 'sMr President
| nominate George Washington, of Virgin
la. as COMMANDMENT chief Of the, armies Of
the United Colonies but anirsate his de.
scendants now. Yes, let us 10 governed,
by the patriotism Of that man, who. with
the sage Of Monticello, gave to the world
che Declaration Of Independence. Let us5
preserve the rich legacy given to us by those
patriots who lived together, who WORK led to.
gether, and who, Under the providence Of
