aThe amount of this modified fright Of

rest the operation of law Ut the United
States, and institution process which Is
to terminate in the ascendency of mi
nority over large majority. And this
new;faugled theory is attempted to DO
fathered on Mr.. Jeffe rson the apostle OF
republication, and whose own words de-
clare. that 'acquiescauce in the decision
Of the maiory is the vital principle ofit.'
Well may the friends OF Mr.; Jefferson
disclaim any constitutional right OF nullI-

ICol. Van Trump sought to make out a
case. They sustain him in no single par

i COMPROMISE. ,..t
His great hoby was compromise. Here
he planted himself. Behind compromise
he shielded his disloyalty. From his
!, point he assailed the Government. and in
this. he is more to blame than. in any
other part Of his speech. Col.Van Trump
knew that compromise was impossible
He know there was no member IN Con-
gress representing the Confederate States
none 10 speak or act for them. He knew
they had spurned all compromise Other
,, than the unconditional recognition o
their Government. He knew that Hen
ry May, member of Congress from Balu
more. Maryland, had with the consent o
: the President, Cabinet and General Scott
:, visited jeff. Davis & Co., at Richmond
for the express purpose Of securing from
!. them some terms as basis Of settlement
and he we'll knew that Davis & Co.'S an
0 swer was, 1--WE have no terms TO offer, n
. conpromise to make. We have declare
o Our independence and mean to establish IL.
: And further, Col Van Trump knew Msr
J. mere not loyal States enough lst1 to amen
:, the Constitution.
In the face of all this, Col. Van Trum
, had the unfairness to hold out to the pee
ple the idea that peaceable and houol
d able adjustment could be effected. Wit
