The weekly Butte record., 1862-05-17

TIE Dutch Flat Enquirer says that Toombs
and Davis assured the Senate that the Com
promise resolutions would induce the seeded
States to resume their places II so, why did
six Southern Senators, Toombs and Davis
among them, refuse 10 vote against Clarks
amendment which killed the resolution in the
Senate? That amendment WAS PASSED
bg firo mGjorltv, and might have been beaten
by four had these six Southern traitors voted.
Butte Record.
Is ii ignorance or villainy that induces this
Abolition parasite to faisify historical facts.
Il must be one or the other. He says Ciark's
amendment was passed By two majority :
the Congressional record says It was rejected
by eight majority, and the ayes and noes prove
it. We give the vote on this very amendment
which be says was passed. On Mr.. ClaTk's
amendment the ayes and noes were called with
i the following result:
" Yeas-MeSsrs Bingham, Chandler. Clark.
Doolittle. Dnrkee, Fessenden. Foot, Harlan.
King, Morrill,. Sumner, Trumbuli, Wade and
Wilkinson-l4

ton of the Senator from Kentucky"
The Congressional record says the amend
ment was rejected the Abolition bireling of
the RECORD says the amendment was passed
by two maiority~ What confidence can be
placed in a man who is so ignorant or who
lies so deliberately To please and assist and
benefit his Abolition employers he perverts
facts, misrepresents the Democratic party, and
deceiyes his Democratic readers
Mountain Democrat
Our friend of the Democrat asks. if it is
Ignorance or villainy that induced the pitt
ful Abolition sneak to falsify the record We
will not accuse the creature Of ignorance. for
We cannot believe even as degraded being
as he has shown himself to be is so deep in the
slough Of ignorance as not to know what he
published was false, but attribute it to the
natural bent of the animals nclinations TO lie
on credit, rather than tell the truth for cash.
He sees the party he has labOred so hard to
build up by the basest means, about TO be an
initiated by the great National Union party,
who scorn such as he, but putting forth their
arm of might while a serting the broad Consti-
tutional grounds Of defence ignore all petty,
contemplate sectionaists and proclaim to the
world inmutable principles for the government
of the Nation Let the thing slide along his
Shiny course, as his hour of being dangerous is
past Dutch Flat Enquirer.
We should not have noticed the above, but
for its Endorsement by the Enquirer As be
has seen fit to indorse the persistent and ma
ignant Misrepresentation of others, We propose
to show Brother Boust where such Endorsement
places him, hoping that he may prove himself
gentlemanly enough to retract his misrepre-
sentations and fasehoods
If Brother Boust, of the Dutch Flat Enqui-
rer, will turn to the Congressional Globe of
January l6, SCI, page 400 be will find the
following proceedings and vote in the Senate,
which sustains the assertion made by the
RECORD, that Clark's amendment to the Crit
tenden Compromise was passed by two majori-
ty. Here is the vote
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
question is on the amendment offered by the
Senator from New Hampshire, as a substitute
for the resolutions and on that question the
yeas and noes have been ordered
The question being taken by yeas and noes,
resulted-yeas 25, noes %. as follows:
YEAS Messrs. Anthony, Baker. Bine-
ham, Cameron Chandler. Clark, Colamer.
Dixon. Doolittle, Durkee Fessenden, Foote.
Foster, Grimes, Hale, Harlan, King, Seward
Simmons, Sumner, Ten Eyck, Trumbull, Wade
Wilkinson and Wilson-25.
NOES-Messrs. Bayard, Biger, Bragg.
Bright. Clingman, Crttenden, Fitch, Green.
Gwin, Hunter, johnson, of Tennessee, Kennedy.
Lane, Latham, Mason. Nicholson, Pearce
Polk, Powell, Pugh, Rice Salisbury and
Sebastian-23,
So the amendment was agreed to-"
The amendment offered by Mr. Clark, as a
substitute for the Crttenden resolution, being
thus adopted by the Senate, was, on motion of
Mr.. Pugh, laid on the table.
1t was after the adoption of this amendment
upon which six Southern Senators refused to
vote, that they telegraphed to their States 10
pass secession ordinances, as they could get no
compromise. They could have killed the amend
ment by voting against it, and were urged to do
so while the vote was being taken, by Senator
johnson, of Tennessee. They remained in their
seats and goried in the defeat of the Critten-
den Compromise. That was on the 10th of
January. Turn to the Senate proceedings of
the 2lst Of the same mouth, five DAYS after
wards, and you will find these traitors, Davis
Yulee and others taking leave of the Senate,
The adoption by the Senate of Cark's amend
ment to the Crittenden resolutions, was their
excuse for leaving, while their action showed
that they desired its adoption.
