Thus the Clarke amendment or substi-
tute was rejected, aad on the same day a
direct vote was taken On the Crittenden
resolutions and they were defeated, every
Republican In the Senate voting against
them. To show further that direct vote
Was had oa the Cristeudsn resolutions. We
quote from the Globe, p. 1899. !
Mr. Wigfall. Then whas is called the
Crfttenden amendment received ainsasen
rotes in this Senate, which, In contempla-
ion Of law, has sixty eight Senators up-
og the aoor--I mean In contemplation Of
law according to the construction Of the
Constitution Of the Senator from Illinois
not mine. With sixty oight Senator's,
and therefore thirty-fo States, to ratify
Or reject, the CEitenden proposition, ro-
ceiVed nineteen votes. ... -. -s...
Mr. Douglas. Now, sir, in regard to
the statement that the Crittenden propo-
sition aeeefved only Ftineiesz totes out of
sixty-eigbg which, in contemplation of
law, compose the Senate, il is true that
while sixty-eight compose the Senate, in
contemplation IF law, TerT many wsrp
absent and do not unaeretand tbe Sem
ator - say that il those who were absent |
had been present, the vote would not have |
bvut ravE@ is,osas rsiEs o&s Da Aho contra. |
ry, they all profess to be for the Critten-
den propositions, Mr.. Davis and Mr.. |
TooEnhs included. s... ....-r5 s@-
Observe that Mr.. Douglas d0es not say |
that even all the absent Senators were |
present the Crittenden compromise would |
have qeea adopted-Ae says SIT would |
have received more Ghan nineteen voteG."
Mr. Clingman. Suppose it 30 be true,
rs the Senator saws, that the Crittenden |
would have had more than
nineteen voges IL the Senate mad been full,
be knows very well that it would not have
got q two-thirds vote Of the Senate, and
that on such question anything less than
a wo-thiris vote is q nullity. (p. 1889, |
Glob&.)
Let these men no longer missepreseut
he REGARD. Bring them to the Congress
onal Globe, that shows the a5olitionised
are alone responsible for the
defeat Of the CriiteRdan compromise, and
or plunging the country into it's present
'uined state. We give ''chapter and
'erSe" Of The sworn record Of Congress to
.nabIe honest men TO see the truth. Ex-
mime and see if the case is Bot stated cor
