Clarks Amendment to the Crittenden
Resolutions

To THE Butte REcoRp.-We have examiD.
ed The Congressional proceedings and fud that
the vote as stated by You to be correct. And
so far as or remarks as to that point went We
confess ourselves in error. and thus profer you
the amend honorable But we deny that it
was 4 duty incumbent upon the Senators from
the South especially; and ii you would make
1t so, your argument IS not good, for there was
only four Of the Senators cot of the six you
cite, in the city al the time. You must con
fess that, taking a reasonable view Of this
matter the power was with the Republican
element Of the Senate Datch Flat Enquirer.
1t was a duty incumbent upon all to save
the country from the devastation and horrors
Of the present civil war, and that they did not
is evidence sufficient for Us that both rebels
and Republicans desired it. Concerning the
number Of Senators present from Southern
States who declined to vote against Clark 5
amendment we made our statement on the an
thority OF Hon. Andrew johnson. of Tennessee,
who, in the course of his remarks on the reso-
tuition to expel Senator Bright, referred to the
vote on the proposition as follows:
q sat right behind Mr. Benjamin. when he
refused to vote and ! said to him. Mr. Ben
Jamin, why do YOU not vote Why not save
this proposition, and see if we cannot bring the
country to II :? He gave me rather an abrupt
answer. and said he would control his own
action without consulting me or anybody else
Said |. vote aud shox yourself an honest man
As soon as the vote was taken, be and others
teegraphed South We can get no compromise.
Here were six Southern men refusing to vote,
when the amendment wouid have been rejected
by four majority if they had voted Who then
has brought these evils on the cOuutry?'
We have not examined the Congressional
proceedings to ascertain whether his statement
that there were six Southern men refusing to
vote " is correct We believe it is correct.
We cannot confess that the power on this
question was with the Republican element Of
the Senate. The Republicans were in the
minority Had Southern Senators remained
in their seats until after Lincoln's Inauguration,
every appointment Of his would had to have
been confirmed by Democratic votes He
could never have made an Objectionable Cabi
net. The Crittenden resolutions might have
been demanded as the guarantee of the South
ern States before his Cabinet appointments
were confirmed, and the Republicans would
have been compelled to pass the Crittenden
amendment through both branches of Congress
All this, We think, might have been accom-
plished had the Southern Senators retained
their seats and earnestly labored for it. 1t
seemed as though they were anxious to get
away before any compromise could be affected
and they did.

DENocRAcY.-The Chicago Times, speaking
Of the recent Democratic triumph in that city
gives the Democratic position as follows:
q" This victory. in the metropolis Of the
Northwest, IS loud voice TO the President OF
the United States, and all others II authority
at Washington 1t Is voice Of approval OF
every act Of hostility by the President TO the
designs Of abolitionism thus far, and OF warning
to him, and to every body, that those designs
do fearfuliy provoke the popular displeasure."
That IS the true Democratic position a
support Of the Government in its Constitutional
endeavors to suppress the rebellion, and oppo-
-ition to the ultra Abolition policy Of the
Republican party. It is the position occupied
by the Democracy of California It has tri-
umphed in every Northern State where it has
been honestly and firmly proclaimed, and it
will triumph il California. It is only those
presses who followed the seceders from the
National Democratic Convention, who oppose
the Constitutional acts of the Government for
the suppression of the rebellion. The Times
adds:
1t will be cheering victory to the soldiers
10 the field. 1t will nerve them to still more
gallant exploits
And it will cheer the Union men of the
South. If this be the voice of Chicago, they
may well reason that abOlitionism has culmi
mated as power in the North.

coctiou that any fusion eau produce. There is
no man who honestly desires the success of the
American Government. that cannot give it a
cheerful support. We think the Appeal is IL
error when it says that a rebel sympathsing
press has copied with approval anything that
we have said politically. When the ~ Union

REPUBLICAN PATRIoTIsM-TheN New York
Sunday Times suggests that since the Tribune
under its new editor is vigorously engaged in
writing down General Halleck, the President
will have to appoint another of It's attaches TO

officer be entitled General Abuser." Lord,
how the Republicans do love Halleck Buell.

A NEW IDEA OF CoNFIsC ATION.-The 5. F.
Journal thinks that if the Government would
put slaves upon precisely the same footing as
other property, and when it coufScates those
belonging to traitors would sell them and put
the money in the treasury pro bono ptbhco,
there wond be less objection than there is now
to confScation, which SO many consider syn
onymoas with abolition Does the Journal
really think the twenty million loyasts of the
North would be better pleased TO have Gov
ernment a slave trader than a slave liberator
II 50. would not the above suggestion make a
good plank in the new Democratic platform?
Marysville Appeal
We agree with the Journal Every quar-
termaster ought to be empowered to sell the
slaves to sound Union men of the South, for
subsistence for the army, and thus save taxes
upon the labor and capital of loyal men, Does
not the Constitution recognize them as prop
erty? You profess 10 support the Constitu-
ton, until it Games 10 the negro, and then you
fly off the handle You have higher law ="
then il is one that lets the " Union slide"
1t Is Legitimate warfare to conGscate the prop
erty Of rebels; it is vandalism to destroy it,
and then tax loyalty and patriotism to pay for
it. The whole trouble Of coufscation arose
from the determination OF the Republicans not
20 recognize slaves as property. Had they
done so, a simple eontscation act would have
been all that was required.
Because there are twenty millions Of peop'e
in the loyal States, the Appeal should not class
them all as loyal 1t should deduct the Re
publiosns from its estimate. They are only
condiionally loyal In certain contingencies
they have announced their willingness to let
the Union slide, just as the Breckinridgers of
California have announced contingencies upon
which they would recognize the Southern
Coufeleracy.' We are decidedly in favor Of
Government confscating the slaves of rebel
masters, and turning them into beef cattle for
the susienauce of the army, providing good
Union men can be found who want them and
will make the exchange. Ii not an abolition
ist. what would the Appeal DO with the Con
stitulional property ct rebels?

Soldiers must not be permitted to leave
the ranks, even to assist in removing our own
dead, or to strip or rob the dead of the enemy,
unless by special permission"
The great champion of Southern chivalry
must attach special importance to the privilege
OF robbing the dead. It is probably the first
instance in the history of modern warfare
where a commanding general has recognized
the disgusting practice of robbing the dead as
deserving official sanction. and not to be allow
ed without special permission from the CON-
manding officer.
