Memorial to Congress for the Preserva-
ton Of the Union.

We have been asked frequently. by Re.
publicans dissatisfied with the uncompromis.
ing policy of their party chiefs at Wash
ington, if it would not be well to circulate
petitions, asking Congress to agree upon
some basis for the speedy settlement OF the
present difficulties, and securing the perma-
nence of the Union. Both Houses are now
daily flooded with petitions, from all classes
of men at the North, asking--begging-
praying for Cancellation and compromise.
We believe the conservative. anti-abolitiOn
citizens of Minnesota, should add the weight
of their influence to this movement, to the
end that our representatives may be encour-
arged to exhaust every honorable means of
adjustment. The following is the form of a
memorial, very generally accepted:
MEMORIAL
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives of the United States, in
Congress Assembled.
The Undersigned citizens of the State of
Minnesota, view with alarm the present condi-
ton of public affairs. They have seen with
great regret the secession of five States from
the Union, so far as the action on the part of
those States is concerned, and they fear that
others may follow the example. They deeply
regret that any condition Of national affairs
should have brought about such an issue; and,
without going into an examination ofthe causes
which have impelled sister States to this act,
they pray your Honorable Body at once to
pass such acts as will restore the Union and
give peace to the country. And in this connec-
ton they beg leave to say, that the adoption
of the propositions contained in what are
known as the CR1TTENDEN resolutions, or the
plan for the admission of new States, submitted
by Senator RICE, would be received as salts.
factory adjustment of existing difficulties, and
render us once more united and happy people.
- We would recommend that petitions
in the above form, be gotten up in every
county in the State, and transmitted to our
Senators and Representatives, for presenta~
ton, to Congress. Such petitions will be
circulated in St. Paul during the present
week.

to the rescue, and in the Convention recently
held at Springfield, have fully and cordially
sustained the doctrines of that great leader, as
enunciated by him in the United States Senate.
The sane Republicans--all of them who are
not given over to judicial blndness-have at
last been awakened to sense of the dangers
that beset us, and now stand aghast at the hor-
rible spectres of war, disunion, desolation and
ruin that the successful agitation and triumph
of the principles and policy Of their party have
cans are unwilling to take the last fatal plunge,
and are beginning to draw back from the

Senator Rice's Plan of Settlement.

1t will be seen by an article elsewhere,
copied from the Philadelphia Eue"ng Bul'
letin, an extreme Republican journal, that
the plan of Senator RICE for adjusting the
differences between the North and South,
growing out of the slavery and territorial
questions, is fast gaining ground, even in
Republican quarters. We believe it will
continue to gain ground the more it is
considered. 1t seems to furnish the only
practical settlement of our internal difficult
ties on a permanent basis, and without
requiring a notifying abandonment of
preconceived opinions on the part of either
section. We commend the Bulletins views
to the consideration of our readers, Repub-
licans as we'll as Democrats.

THE CENSUS OF ENGLAND.-Lord Lyons
states that in Great Britain the census is
taken in one day. Before the night of April

riety of inquiries, mainly the same as those
in the census of 1851. These schedules are
to be collected on the day following, Mons
day, April 8, and transmitted to the Regis

The secession of Texas we regard as a
fixed fact and unless the CR1rTENDEN COM
promise, or some other measure of similar
character passes, before the 4th of March,
the following states will also secede. We

ulation both slave and free, according to the
census of 1860:

The Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore Courier says.

Mr.. Sumner is said to have demonstrated
with Mr.. Seward against hazarding the fate of
Republcanism. Mr.. Seward replied to him, as
am we'll informed, that it never was his good
fortune yet to make speech that did not dis.
please somebody and now it might be that he
should have to displease Mr.. Sumner.

GEN. JACKSON, in his farewell address to
the American people, in March, 1887, thus
alluded to coercion. He said:
If such a struggle is ever begun, and the cit
liens of one section of the country are arrayed
in arms against those of another IN doubtful con-
f,ct, let the battle result as ii may there will De
an end to the Union, and ,cith 1t an end Of The
hopes of frefmen. The victory of the victors
would not secure to them the blessings of hber-
ty. 1t would avenge their wrongs, but they
would themselves share in the common ruin.
