Not one of these nineteen afiirma-

Messrs. An,hony, Bingham, Chandler, Clark.
Dixon, Duolittle, Durkee Fessenden, Foot
Foster, Grimes Harlan, King, Morrill,, Sum
ner. Ten Z, ok, Trumbull, Wade, Wilkin
son, Wilson.
Each and every one of these mega,
tive votes was given by Northern Re-
publican. Not a vote among them
from Cotton State--not one from a
Southern State. And yet, sir, you, a
minister of the Gospel, standing in the
sacred desk, and upon God sholy Sab,
bath day, with this record within your
reach, proclaim to your congregation,
and that too in the presence of many
Republicans who well know that your
declaration was atterly untrue, chat
''this compromise vas scorned by the
Gulf States" and defeated by the
Democratic majority, ''because they
did not want peace unless they could
have independence u
You are equally as unfortunate IN
your next proposition. You remark
"Here are the hc:s in regard 10 the pro
posed compromise. While the compromise
was pending Clarke, OF New Hampshire, in
troduced substitute, which substitute was
virtually the Constitution OF the United
! States Twenty five Senators voted for tht
Substitute, and Twenty-three against it, thus
adopting the substitute, and OF course cutting
off the Oriltenden compromise. Ioom6S
Davis, Sidell, Wig all, Iohuson,and one 9th
er Senator stood by, refusing to 00ts, and tSu
GR0aUed the substitute to be adopted, whel
by votlng with the twenty three they couIt
have defeated it by four votes, and by uniting
with the twenty three upon the CrittendeI
amendment, they could have passed 1t By jon

adopted than these six Southern Sen
ators walking deliberately up to the tele
graph Office and dispatched to the Who'll
South that the Crittenden compromise wa
defeated and all hopes 0! a compromise wa
past"
BY this, you gave your hearers t
understand that the six Southern Sen
ators who refused to vote on the Clarl
substitute were responsible for its adop
ton. As a truthful man, were yol
not bound to tell them the whole truth

the purpose of deception, is willfu
and malicious lying. Were you no
bound, then, to tell your hearers tha
every Republican Senator voted fo
the Clark amendment, and thus causeo
its adoption? Were not all your Re
publican Senators who voted for thi
substitute, to say the least, quite a
guilty as the Southern Senator's wht
did not vote at all? -
Again, sir, for the proof Of my al
legations that all-every one of you
Republican friends, voted for the Clarl
substitute CLARK himself being quit
a distinguished leader in your party
I must refer yov to the vote, by yea
and nays, in the Congressional Globe
part ], for 1S60-'61;
Thoes who voiced for the Clark substitute
were-Messrs. Anthony, Baker Bingham
! Cameron, Chandler, CLARK, CollameI, Dix
on, Dooltle. Durkee, Fessenden, Foote
Foster, Grimes, Hale. Harlan, Sc ward, Sim
mons. Sumner, Ten Eyck, Trumbull, Wade
and WlkiSon, Wilson-25.
| Each and every one of whom yot
will readily recognize as a Northern
Republican or Abolitionist.
Those who voted in the negltive were
--Messrs. Bayard OF Delaware, B'g!el
Bragg OF North Carolina, Bright, Clingna
OF North Carolina CIittenden of Kentucky
Fitch, Green Of Missouri, Gwin, Hunter c
Virginia johnson of Tennessee, Kenncd
Of Maryland, Lane OF Oregon, Latham Ma
son Of Virginia, Nicholson of Tennessee
!, Pearce OF Mary land, Polk Of Missouri, Pow
ell Of Kentucky, Pugh, Rice, Salisbury ant
Seba-tis Of Arkansas-23.
Not one of whom was a Northern
Republican or Abolitionist.
: Now, sir, supposing any one Of thes
twenty-five Northern Abolitionists hat
voted against this Clark substitute
supposing Wade for instance, you
Northern Abolition Senator from Ohio
had voted with Pugh against thi
amendment, it would have been los
upon a tie vote. And yet you,
Christian minister, tell your hearer
that the responsibility of adopting
/ this Clark substitute rests upon tn
South, because some of her Senator
refused to vote, whilst every one o
your Abolition Senators voted for it.
Again, sir, you say that had thes
six Southern Senators added thei
votes to the twenty-three votes cas-
for the Crittenden compromise, i
would have been adopted by major
Iity of four. In this, as in your othe
I declarations, you are grossly mistaken
