He was foI Union, not for secession and he
would say to Kentucky, stand by the Union
till necessity forces You out. With consistency
and filellty he would have Kentucky stand by
tile Union, if rebellion should sweep our land,
ike the last soldier OF brave band till every
thing is gone, and then consider what is to be
done. He had hoped that something would
have been done to pacify the country, and this

MIR. TRUMBULL was tired of hearing talk
Of usurpation and injustice in the territories.
| Why not make an appeal to the men with
arms in their hand against the government.
! 1t was not till the last moment, when forced
to take Sides and either join the secessiouists
or let Anderson perish, that the president had
| joined the Union party, and spoke, though
teeb!y for the United States.
Mr.. WIGFALL asked ii the succeeding adj
nimistration would pursue tie same peace pol
icy, or whether an attempt to lecapture the
forts and property.
AIr. TRUMBuLL said the senator would find
out his opinion when they got through, and lie
trusted that he would learn the opinions OF
the incoming administration from the east
steps OF the capitol Tomorrow.
Mr. WIGFALL-I trust we will.
Mr. TRUMBULL-l apprehend the senator
will learn to morrow that W. have got gov
ernment, and that is the beginning of main
tanning the Union.
Mr.. WIGFALL-I hope we may.
Mr.. TRUMCULL spoke against the comprom
Use which has been offered He was willing
to take the Missouri compromise, but this is
nothing like that. In regard to the house res
olutions, all agreed that congress has not
right to interfere with slavery in the states
He would not interfere but lie would never
by his vote make one slave, and the people OF
the great northwest would never consent to es-
tabllSh slavery anywhere.
He was willing though he did not think
the constitution needed amendment, to vote
for recommending to the states proposition
calling convention 10 consider amendments
The best rock in the world to stand on is the
old constitution, and we should not suffer it
to be trampled on or amended. States have
been arming themselves, and they tell us they
will fight against the government if it attempt
to enforce laws which they call coercion
lie could tell the senator from Texas that he
was for enforcing the laws. By this he did
not mean marching an army to coerce a state
but lie wanted to settle the question whether
we have Il government. If we would give the
government force enough to enforce the laws,
he thought there would be an end of secession.
Let us have an honest executive, and the south
Will see the government intends no encroacll,
ment on their rights, and he did not believe a
gun would ever be fired. He called on the
south TO wait till we hear the inaugural, which
lie trusted would breathe the spirit of kindness
towards the south as well as the north, and
express a determination that no enroachment
be made on the rights of any one.
MIR. Baker spoke at some length in favor of
vote on the peace conference propositions.
Mr. DooLITTLB proposed to modify the
amendment. He offered simply to make it
shorter and not alter the sense Rejected
