TaE venerable Crittenden, in his last
speech before Congress, denounced the
abolition policies for the conduct Of the
war. The patriotic old statesman as
cribed TO the abolitionists only an error
Of judgment, instead Of = deliberate
crime, in perverting the war from an
attempt to fcstoss The Union into an en-.
srgetic crusade for the freedom Of the
negro. But Mr.. Crittsndsn conld not
have been bIindto the fact thst those1
policies had been long and deliberately
resolved upon, and we're adopted with
full knowledge OF the evil const qucnces
they wonId bring upon the country
The opening Of PauiIors's box could not
have proved more severe affection to
the country than the accession to power
Of an abolition Congress, sustained and
assisted in their INSCRIPTIONS legislation
by an abolition Executive. The Ken
tncky orator, addressing Congress for
the last time, said or.es So
"You are mistaken in the remedy.
Your only remedy is 10 regain the con-
idence and heart Of the people; to
substitute for the d,strust which now ex-
is,s confidence that your object is . na-
tiona one, and not IA mere party one
not the abolition Of slavery, bat The sat
cation Of orr country.
''In the last moments OF our existence
YOU are endcavoring to cousvmmate a
0 policy which the people hare condemned
n and to put the people beyond the means
n of redress. The remedy, and the sole
!, remedy, is by reversion, by retracing our
steps, and making this again national
!, war. You had volunteers enough, and
more than you knew what to do with
: when you stood upon that ground. Pc
4 litical sbohtionists thought the time hac
!, come for them to introduce the SWORD
u and the spear in the public arena, anG
n to make use Of this war to carry on
2, ends which they have long cherished
n the abolition of slavery"
