For himself he had to the conclusion that the Union

Andrew Jackson had been to put down notification and
secession with the sword but TO make at the time
the most liberal offers Of peace. This policy he desired

Mr.. HERMAN thought the sixth resolution went fa
enough in the offer Of peace Tho democracy love the
memory of jackson, and could any man doubt that he
would have held out the sword boldly against those who
were openly in arms for the overthrow of the govern

with armed traitors He would 80 as far any man to
secure honorable peace; but when gentlemen talk Of
the Union Of the South let them remember that these
| men-the gallant Of Kenucky-ask to put down
treason with arms He ready do So although he
was willing to call national convention, soon men
would return TO their allegiance under the constitution
CHARLES MAooxnER of Eric, made an eloquent speech
in support OF the original resolution and in favor Of
vigorous prosecution of the for the preservation Of
lie W0Hia let forth 10 the
people Of the South, assuring them that If they will
turn to their allegiance, they shall be protected in all
their constitutional rights but if they reject these offers
OF peace then he would prosecute the for the pro-
lection OF the government until treason put down,
although the streams and rivers OF the land should
red with blood.

A. p. LANING, of Erie spoke against the motion He
held to be the duty OF all good not to embarrass
