which it was framed, and under whose provisions
we have become a great and happy people,
prosperous and renowned among the nations of
the earth.
ReSOlued That we share in the common solici-
tude of our fellow citizens in view of the dangers
which now threaten the peace and unity of our
common country. That without entering upon
an inquiry as to the of the agitation now so
pervadng, we recognize il as fact, and one to
be dealt with in moderation, without recrimina-
tion, vindictiveness or passion. That whenever
an agitation like the present, whether from pas
sion or from principle, whether from misunder-
standing otherwise, pervades so large a part of
our countrymen, we recognize the duty of con-
sdering their complaints in a spirit of fraternal
regard-Of respecting their alleged grievances,
of doing all that can be done TO remove misun-
derstandiRg and for the purpose of restoring har
mony and peace to do everything short of the
sacrifice of a vital principle of the Government
ResoLued, That we indOrse the series of resolu-
tions propose1 in the Senate of the United States
by the Hon. John j. Crittenden, Senator from
Kentucky, as an honorable and equitable com
promise of our present deplorable difficulties in
volving no sacrifice to any party or section which
should not be nude and that for the sake of the
untold blessings of peace and a united country
we respectfully recommend to our Representatives
in Congress assembled, the prompt adoption of
the measures contained in the following resolu-

An Explanation from MIR. Crittenden
rs to the Point of his Amend I'M enl.


in the Senate on the llth inst, Mr.. HARLAN, of
Iowa, was asserting the absurdity of the demands
made by the protectonsts of slavery in the Ter
rtores, in the face of the verdict of the people at
the polls on the 9th of November. He said that
even Mr.. CRrrrENDEN proposed ga Congress
sional slave CODE for all the Territories south OF
Sc deg. 80 min. Mr.. CRIrTENDEN interrupted
him follows:
Mr.. Crittenden-I hope | shall be allowed a
word / am surprised to hear the gentleman say
that l propose slave code. l thought had
carefully avoided that. / took things as they
were, and say that the laws as they now exist
shall continue to exist, and what protection they
give shall be extended that neither Congress nor
the Territorial Government shall legislate on the
subject. This is the Congressional code that
propose. The code that exists is not Congress
sional code at all; it is territorial one; and as
we have come to the point where suppose some
settlement should take place, l propose that we
shall take the status as it exists. 1t relieves us
from all legislation. propose TO gire ,chdt pro
lection the present Iaps giue-nothing more.
Mr.. Harlan-I am very much gratifed that
the Senator has corrected me. l do not desire to
misrepresent his proposition.
Mr.. Crittenden-I am sure the gentleman does
not.
Mr.. Harlan-Here is the language, however,
of the printed bill which have on my desk:
"In all the Territories south of said line of lat.
itude, slavery of the African race is hereby recog
nized existing
Mr. Crittenden-That is all.
Mr. Harlan-It is recognized as existing
'and shall not be interfered with by Congress but
shall be protected as property by all the depart
nients of the territorial government during its
continuance"
Mr.. misunderstanding to their own laws
Mr. Harlan-I shall be happy, Mr.. President
to find that the proposition submitted is less OBJ
jectionable than / at first supposed it to be.
Mr. Crttenden-It has been one of my objects
to exclude the idea of legislating by Congress
The resolution is silent ON the subject.

rB- Seventy seven clergymen, of New York
city have issued circular letter to the clergy
and laity of the Christian churches in the South,
and appeal to them to preserve the Union. They
say:
A dispassonate view of public affairs constrans
the belief that system of gross and persistent
Misrepresentation has had much to do with lead
ing the nation to the verge ofrevolutiOn. The
South has been slandered at the North, and the
North grossly misrepresented at the South.
The extreme sentiment or unworthy acts of in
dividuals and the passionate utterances of incon-
siderable bodies, political ecclesiastical, have
been heralded through the land the deliberate
expression of opinion of great parties. denom-
nations sections of country: whereas they
merely represented the extravaganza of their au-
thors, and should have been consigned to the OBJ
lvon they meritei Too much of this fratricidal
work has undeniably been done by the pulpit
but far more by the press.
We agree with them in the last statement The
Abolition preachers and papers have done the
''fratricdal work"

An Appeal for Wy Country.

Alas, hear a voice to-day,
Borne on the whirlwind's troubled breath,
In simeon accents clamoring-
Disunionl Misery and Death
But is there not a hand to savef
No voice TO chase away the glOomf
No Clay or Webster cen to grasp
Ny country from shastly tonbi
An, br0thersi has the light Of love
Forever fed from hearts and eyes,
Is there no hope for millions yet
To bind themselves in COMPROMISED
Would you belle your prOudest boast,
And say that freemen not free'
Would you enhance tyranni: claims,
And dig the grave Of Liberty,
Then, whose viii be the bloody musef
Who sing Nations overthrow
Who dip the fafe-recording pen
In fratricidal. crimsoned howi
And what Of Bunker, Lexington
To which the tide Of memory rollsi-
OF Trenton, Camden, Yorktown, too
What Of the ''times that tried mems soulsi"
Think Of those brave and noble ones,
Who pledgedtheir all against King George:
Think of the patriot blood that tracked
The frozen snow at Valley Forget
Think Of your noble mothers, tool
Think Ger their deeds, their hopes, their sighs.
Call up to mind the heartfelt prayers
That answered were from out the skiesl
Ali who can bury glOry's deeds
And write oblivion over ALL
Who wipe the blood which patriots shed,
Away from memcry's sacred hal'
Ar who can cancel all the past
What living, breathing, patriot sons
Who glory in his country's fall,
And blast the name Of Washington
Go to the Pater Patris's grave,
And kneeI his sacred ashes nigh;
Tell him his life was all in vain,
That freelnen win his deeds belief
Whisper that Heaven was deceived
In dealing justice, truth and right;
Tell him that Librty's lie,
A shooting meteor Of the night
All, freemenl brothers. pause, reflect,
Ere you would make the angels weepi
Deal death to traitors, tyrants, foes,
But swear your birth-right e'er to keepi
Fight DER again the war of words,
OF rsncor, il il needs must be;
But let no hand be raised against
This Pantheon Of Unityl
Stand by the Constitutions fag
The Declaration, pledged in blood
Act with conscious rectitude,
To God your country and your good
would'st strike the blow, bewarei be,0dre'
Twill start to rattle dead mems bones
Your sires viii rise from out their graves,
And haunt you with their dying groansl
Delay the dreadful thunderbolt;
Haste, sweet-fsced Peacel o, quickly haste
Back Fathers, to your quiet graves,
And do not taunf face 10 facel
Ny God my soul appeals to Thee,
As Ger my harp the hot tears fowl
Stretch forth Thy hand-my country save
From dissolution, death and woel
