The Crittcnden Compromise.

Senator Trumbull, of Illinois, in the debate
in the United States Senate, on the 10th inst,
speaking of the Crittenden compromise, said !:
1T is widely supposed among the people of
the country that the Senator from Kentucky
proposes to restore the Missouri compromise !;
and the question is asked why we do not &C
cept it, This is great mistake. The propo-
stion of Mr.. Crittenden was to incorporate
the Breckenridge Democratic Platform into
the Constitution Of the United States. 1t was
to establish slavery on all territory south of a
certain line now in poss ession or hereafter to
be acquired This scheme would cover Mexi-
co and Central America with slavery, and
carve them up into slave States to be admit
ted into the Union. The Missouri Compro-
mise was very different thing. 1t provided
that all territory north of II certain line should
be forever free, and all south of that line was
left open for the people of the territory to
have slavery or not, as they chose. 1t was
the jefferson Proviso north of $50 SO, and
pure Squatter Sovereignty south of it. But
the Crittenden compromise is STARE code, to be
made part of the Constitution, not only for
all present territory, but all future acquisi-
tons south of that line. The people in the
country have been deceived as to the true ma
ture of the proposition of the Senator from
Kentucky upposing as they did that he had
offered to restore the Missouri compromise
