table fact that unless a settlement be speedily

ample, unless ample constitutional guarantees be
accorded 70 them. And that the North will then
ind themselves compelled to elect between per-
hitting the whole fifteen to leave the Union
peaceably; the acceptance Of the propositions Of
the border States, to keep them in the Union IL
that be possible; or civil war between sixteen
States on one side and fifteen on the other. Does
