Such was the recorded action OF the

critical and momentoto period OF onr
history on measure that would hays
saved lis from civil war had the req
rescntatives of the party that had Just
been elected to power adopted it in

1t is denied by some Of the leaders
and presses Of the Republican, party.
that such would have been the result
Dl the adoption BY Congress of the
ErIttenden Compromise but they
'roduced no prodf to sustain their as.
'ertlon. On the other hand, we hayo
! ''high testimony as could be desired
'r needed, to show that had the Crit.

ry from civil war. "7
Senator Douglas, on the Sd Of Jan.
nary, 1851, speaking of his own plan
1l Adjustment which he had introdu.
,ed into the Senate, said: (See Apen.
/ x Con. Cube, 1861, page 41)
| believe this (hls own plan) to be a
fair basis Of amicable adjustment. If
yon OF the Republican side are not
willing 10 accept this, nor the propo.
jiIion OF the Senator from Kentucky,
Mr. Crittcnleu,p pray, tell us what you
a., willing to do. | address the in.
lu;ry to the Republicans alone, for
ne reason that in the Committee of
rhirteen; few days ago, every mem.
Der from tho South, including those
rom the Cotton States, (Messrs. Too.
nbs and Davis depressed their readi.
iess to accept the proposition of my
venerable friend from Kentucky, Mr..
Jrittenden, as q FINAL SETTLEMENT Of
he controversy, il rendered and sus.
aimed by tile Republican members.
lence. THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY of
'ur disagreement, and the ONLY DIyFr.
,ULrY in the way OF mn AMICABLE AID.
-csrMENT is with the REPUBLICAN,

When Mr.. Douglas made that speech

rearing Of jeff Davis, Toombs, anG
he otIIer Southern Senators, except
hose from South Carolina, who had
'etired from Congress; and no one Dc.
ned !lle trnth Of this statement. Nor
lid-any of the Republican members of
he Committee of Tbirteer deny IFS
Tuthiulhess. They must, therefore,
Ill be tal'eif as having concurred in its
,orre ectness, viz that the Southern
Senators would have received tlie
Crlttenden plan, il rendered and sus
tained by the Republican members, "a
a final settlement Of the slavery con.
