The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1861-01-19


Although the Republicans say that, under the po
stion of the seeding States the time for compro-
mise is passed, yet some important concessions will
be made, and the leading men of all parties are in
consultation daily. IL is feared that delay will
precipiate Maryland into secession, in which case
the collision that is expected here will be newt
able.

limited STATES SENATE.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Mr. Hale offered
resolution (which lies over that the Senate
adjourn Saturday ar o'clock.
Mr.. Douglass resolutions were taken up.
Mr.. Bayard said that he had long antici-
pated this crisis which has eliminated.
Seven States have Withdrawn from the I'm
ion, and he intended TO offer proposition.
giving the President power, by the advice
and consent Of the Senate, TO enter into a
treaty with the Confederate States. and thus
avoid the only other slternatiye-ciyil war.
He explained the elementary principles OF
The Government, and defined the relations
between the States and Federal Government.
Secession was not among the reserved pow
ers OF the States, but revolution was COM
mon right. The present state of affairs was
revolutionary; and. in this connection, he
said the will Of the majority was the will Of
the people. Insurrection and violence in a
State may be put down BY law; but you can
not meet collective act Of a collective peo-
pie except by war or peaceful negotiation.
When revolution comes il cannot be met BY
the law Of treason. Allegiance is due TO the
State as well as 10 the Federal Government,
aud the law OF domicil must necessarily gov
ern the case. when State has separated
from the Federal Government.
The Senate then went into Executive ses.
sion and adjourned.
