loi the Crittenden compromise. Now, |
know that Il was not possible for the Re.

On the I'd day Of the session, on the
18th OF December 1850, on motion of Mr.
Botelcr OF Virginia, a committee Of thirty.
three members, one from each State, was
appointed to consider the public danger,

mon--whenit il was proposed to select n
committee composed Of one FROM each
State, 20 consider our national troubles
that was the way in which he treated 1t!
This man insisted that a majority Of the
committee should be Of the ramc pollti.

A dny or two afterwards, on motion OF
Mr.. Powell of Kentdcpy, another com.
mittec OF thirteen was appointed for the
snmc purpose. Many members had dif-
fcred pluns for adjusting our difficulties
all of which were referred to these COM
mittces.
The Crittenden compromise was never
directly voted upon by the House. An
attempt was made to bring il up out OF
its regular order but it requiring vote
of two-thirds TO do 80, il iuilcd. In tn,
Senate, bs could show the very mcr

would have voted for il, made spccchc,
against il. Look at tie trickery Of these
men. On the vote TO tuke up the meas

could be said that they voted for III The
rascality Of these men was fully exposed
by Dir. Lothem Of California, aud Mr.
