WASHINGTON, Feb. 11, 1861

Zac Chandler, United States Senator from
Michigan, to the Governor of Michigan:
WASHINGTON, Feb. II, 1861.
ssNIY DEAR GovERNoR-Governor
Bingham and myself telegraphed you on
Saturday, at the request of Massachusetts
and New York, to send delegates to the
Peace or Compromise Congress. They
admit that we are right and they wrong;
that no Republican State should have
sent delegates, but that they are here and
can't getaway Ohio, Indiana and Rhode
Island are cavipg in, and there Is danger
Of Illinois, and now they beg US, for Gods
sake, to come to their rescue and save the
Republican party from rupture. hope
YOU will send stiff backed men or none
The whole thing was got up against my
Judgment and advice, and will eud i'll thick
smoke Still | hope, as matter Of court
| esy to some of your erring brethren, that
you will send the delegates.
Truly your friend,
D. CHANDLER.
