Senator Marshall Of Illinois, an init

posing the appointment Of commissioners
from that State made the following
sta:esmanhkc speech which we commend
to the compromising Republicans at
Washington:
IF this Union is to he held together,
it is not by being ready to take up with
any proposition that may be made, and to
yield to any terms that may be demand
ed. BY so doing you will never be done
yielding, and you will never preserve the
Union. [ love the Union as dearly as
any man but there is something dearer
even than the Union-dearer than peace.
1t is ma~nhood--it is principle. | believe
that the preservation of this government
depends upon our exhibiting frmness IN
this crisis not stubbo:ncss not entire
absence of conciliatory feelings; not sto-
Iidity, but frmness tempered with con-
ciliation. No man, no country, ever
gained anything by exhibiting a truck
ling weakness. X x x x * x

the proper place, at this time, for
those whose conscienccs are SO tender
that they can't swear to support the
