THE CRITTENDEN AMENDMENTS.

THE CRITTENDEN AMENDMENTS.
Mr.. Crittenden has been urging Congress all
winter TO submit 10 the States, for their ap.
proval, or rejection, a schedule Of amendments
Of the Constitution, drawn up in the supposed
interest ofthe slave States. tis very remarka'
bic, that although the Legislatures Of all these
States except Maryland, have been in session
since the first Of January, not single one OF
them has seconded Mr.. Critenden's movement,
and we do not believe, that it is in his power,
or in the power of his friends, to persuade
single one of them to request that his amend.
ments be proposed for the consideration of the
country, in the constitutional way.
A sovereign Convention, representing Vir
ginia in this very matter, is now in session in
Richmond. If that Convention desires that the
Crittenden amendments be proposed to the
States, they have only to say SO, with the Ger.
tainty that their request to that effect would be
considered with the greatest respect, and with
high probability that it would be acceded to
by Congress.
OF course, these amendments would be re-
jected by the States, and instead of being able
to command the necessary three fourths, would
hardly get one fourth of the States. But if
anybody would feel any better, to have these
amendments proposed and rejected, the objec.
tions to proposing them not great but it is es.
senta that at least one State should ask that they
be proposed for the consideration OF the coun-
try. Mr.. Crittenden is not authorized to act
in the premises, and he must be regarded as
disavowed by the South in what he has been
doing. If this is not SO, let the Virginia Con.
vention speak.

MEAN AND CoNTEMPTIBLE.-The Mississippi

monument of meanness behind them which
should perpetuats their names as continual
"awful example" of what life in Washington
may lead to. They directed the officers of the

franked by some member who does not recog.

Broderick resolutions, what he burbank
had said was this. that the sentiment of the
people of the State is to vindicate the charac.
ter OF Mr.. Broderick, and that the sentiment
OF the people is, that it shall be vindicated
not by expunging, but by the mode adopted
here.
Mr.. Watt said the resolutions contained a
good deal of truth and good deal of false
hood, and as it was impossible to separate the
two, he should vote against them.
On Friday the resolutions came up in the
Assembly.
Mr.. Conness said the substitute was the
same in all material respects as the resolu-
tion which passed the House, except that
that portion which demanded the expunging
of the original resolutions was stricken out.
There was another slight change: In the
resolutions the deceased Senator was called
California's most honest representative" in
the substitute he was styled CALIFORNIA; 6
honest representative ;" probably the change
was made SO as to avoid reflection on the
gentleman who was Mr. Broderick's colleague
at the time. lie had concluded on q full
consideration of the subject, to recommend a
concurrence in the Senate substitute, at the
same time saying for himself that SO long as
he was citizen of California he should take
every opportunity at future sessions to OBJ
tain the passage Of resolutions expungng
from the Journals the original resolutions of
censure. In order that time might not be
consumed, and not to suppress debate he
would move the previous question.
division was taken, on which the num-
bers were-ayes 90; noes, 10. So the pre-
Nlous question was sustained.
The ayes and noes were taken on concur
renee in the Senate substitute On the call
of the roll
Mr.. Laspeyre said he should vote against
the substitute because he knew it to he un-
true. The people of California never had
sustained the course of Mr. Brodericll on the
Kansas ebraska bill.
The result was ayes, Al ; noes 10. So the
House concurred in the Senate substitute.
The following is the vote in detail:
Ayes-Adams, Avery, Banks, Blair, Briggs,
Campbell, Chandler, Cherry, Childs, Clarke,
Coltrin, Conness. Councilman, Covarrubias,

The Purpose of the Administration.

From the New York Post of April 29thl
Our letters from Washington speak of the
determination of the President and his Cabi
net to bring the entire military force of the
Union to bear upon the rebellion, as fully
taken, One correspondent says:
81 dned alone with member Of the Cab
| met yesterday. The tendency of things is
such as will lead to very grave results in a
few days The policy of the Administration
is fixed, the whole power of the Government
and all the money and men of the West and
North will be used to put down rebels and
traitors"
Another letter, the writer of which is in a
condition to be as fully informed of the pur-
poses of the Administration as any one di-
rectly belonging to it, says:
"The Seventh and Massachusetts regiments
have arrived and 5000 more troops are
marching now from Annapolis. Let the
country know that the whole power of the
Government will be brought into requisition
to sustain the honor of the country and pro-
tect the Capital at any sacrifice of life or
treasure. The policy is definite and unalter-
able. No peace except upon the basis of un-
qualified submission of the rebels. No recog
milton of any pretended Southern Confedera-
cy. No peaceabe assent to a separation Of
the States.
"The Government is to be maintained in
that stern and effective manner in which all
governments are maintained when the purse
and sword are called into requisition. The
leaders of the conspiracy are to be driven
from the country or suffer condign PUNISH
ment. They have sought to overthrow the
freest and best Government in the world by
the most infamous means, and for the pur-
pose of setting up crushing military despot
ism. Their crime has been gigantic, and their
punishment is to be signal, and warning for
all time to traitors"
