Mr.. sher mans speech,

subject Of compromises under present cir-
cumstances:

must deeply deplore civil war, especially ii
that war should involve the fate OF this CAPT.

No man with head to reason, or heart to
feel, can contemplate the inevitable rcsult Of
suoh q war without the most serious desire
TO avert it. II 10 our duty, a. members OF
this House-it 10 the duty OF Congress and
am happy to say it is the ackno y ledge duty
OF the President, 40 il 10 OF the incoming
Admnistration-to use forbearAnce to the
cxtremest point. Let not physical force be
arrayed in civil war until tho last hope OF
peace and cancellation has been exhausted.
Then let each branch Of the governments,
acting 10 concert, perform their dutiss,
though the heavens fall. What can W do
for peace and conoiliation? Ianticipate your
reply. You say, Let us compromise--yield
what We demand OF you. Let ~ compromise;
and We will preserve the Union, and civil
war will be averted.' This l know 10 the
earnest appeal Of patriotic men 10 tho South,
who would gladly give their lives to stop the

We leaan that quite an exciting scene oc-
CURED in the Alabama Convention after that
body had refused, by decided vote, to sub
init their action to the people. The Hon.
Nicholas Davis Of Huntsville declared bis
belief that the people Of North Alabama
would never abide by the action Of that Con-
vention, il denied the right OF voting upon
il. Mr.. Yancey thereupon denounced the
people OF North Alabama ~ tories, traitors,
and rebels, and said they ought to bs CO.
erosd into submission to the decree Of the
Convention. MIR. Davis replied that they
might attempt coercion, but North Alabama
would meet them upon the line and decide
the issue at the point Of the bayonet. Thus
