Mr. Breckenridge said he could not vote
for the resolution as he thought i did not
state the facts in regard to the war being
forced on the country by the Southern Dis

condition of things was due 10 the refusal of
the majority last winter to make any concili.
alton. He did not think the attack on Fort
Sumter WAS cause for a general war. and the
President is responsible for the general war.
De did not think that Congress had done its
duty 10 the whole country. He believed the
war was prosecuted for the purpose of subju-
CATION and not for the maintenance of the
Constitution. for the Constitution is trampled
on every day. He believed il the war was
carried on twelve months il would be the
grave Of Constitutional liberty. That it was
his humble judgement peace was what we
need for the restoration Of the Government
and the preservation o! constitutional liber-
~.
Mr.. Sherman said he thanked God this
