The Albany Ersning Journal, edited by Thurlow

Secretary of State the following conciliatory
language in late number
ITO save the Union and to avert the horrors of
civil war, we implore members Of Congress to meet
the reasonable propositions of the Union men of the
South" - ~ In discussing question upon
which the Union hangs, and upon which the welfare
thirty millions of people depends, we will not dis
miss the hope that there are Union men in Congress
from the North who can meet Union men Of the
South with fraternal feelings and in the discharge of
common duty, agree upon terms of adjustment
which will hold border slave States from disunion"
When such conciliatory articles as these are men,
toned to dsunionsts they are thrown into rage.
Why is this? The Charleston Mercury explains
why, when it denounces Crittenden, the patriot
when it deliberately says, in substance: "The Abo-

in which the President has been troubled and en-
barraased by lawless acts committed in States which

extract from Mr. Tylers letter to the Governor Of
Virginia, giving an account of his mission to the
President that the latter complained the CONVEX

81 represented to him that the people of Virginia
almost universally inclined to peace and recon-
Citation. That need not inform him of the sacri-
fees the State had made for the Union in its inita-
ton, Of her instrumentalty in the creation Of the
Constitution. That her efforts to reconstruct OF
preserve, depended for their success on her being
permitted to conduc. them undisturbed by outside
collision. He replied that he had in no measure
changed his views as presented in his annual mes
sage-that he could give no pledges-that it was his
duty to enforce the laws and the whole power rested
with Congress. He complained that the South had
not treated him properly that they had made un.
necessary demonstrations by Selling unprotected
arsenals and forts, and thus perpetrating acts Of
useless bravado, which had just as we'll have been
let alone"
There can be no doubt that the acts referred te
were committed in the hope that bloodshed would
follow, and the disunion cause would be thereby
strengthened
