A DOCUMENT WORTH PRESERVING.
History Of the Crittenden Com
promise.

CLEARrIELD, Pa, Sept. u, 1862.
Hon. UiRlam B,gkr: Dear Sir-The
Hon. l.. w. Hall, at present the can
didate of the Republican party for the
State Senate in this district, in the
conrse of his address TO the people on
the evening of the 22d instant, stated
that "some Republican members of
tho United States Senate had voted
for the Crittenden Compromise, aud
some voted against il, and that it
would have been carried had all the
Southern men voted for it," or words
TO that effect. He also complained
that certain Senators from the cotton
States had withheld their votes on the
Clark amendment, by which the Crit
tenden Compromise was defeated.
AS You were member of the Unit
ed States Senate at that time, and nc :
cd a conspicuous part in favor of that
and other measures Of adjustment
during the memorable session of 1860
and 1861, and must be very familiar
with the facts, we respectfully request
that you furnish Us, for public use, a
brief history of the proceedings of the
Senate on the resolutions famliarly
known as the Crittcndcn Compromise,
and of surrounding circumstances:

but still the popular vote ofthe seve-
raj States showed that thew wero over

but still the popular vote of the seve-
raj States showed that they were over
a million Of votes in the minority of
the electors of tho United States. Be-
ing a million the minority, if they So
cured the application of their princi-
Piles to three-fourths Of all the terrific
ry, was not that enough Could they
not, on that have boosted of q great tri-
umph For time these arguments
and considerations seemed to have
weight with the more moderate and
conservative of the Republican Sena-
tors. Indeed, at one time, / had
strong hopes of settlement. But the
radicals rallied in force, headed by Mr..
Greeley, and the current was soon
changed. We were then met with
the argument that the people, in tho
election of Mr.. Lincoln, had decided
to exclude slavery from oil the terrific
ny, and that the members of Congress
dare not attempt to reverse that decis-
ion. We then determined to go
step further and ondeovor to overcome
this obstacle; and it was to this end,
after consultation with Mr.. Critten-
den and others, that / myself intro
duced q bill into the Senate providing
for taking the sense Of the people Of
the several States, on the Crittenden
proposition, for the direction Of mem
bers of Congress in voting for or
against its submission for the ratifca-
ton of the States, as an amendment to
the Constitution. This was an appeal
to the source of all political power;
and would have relieved the members
of all serious responsibility. Tho vote
of the representative would have been
IN accordance with the votes of his
constituents, either for or againts the
proposition. The only objection made,
was, that it was somewhat irregular
and extraordinary; But the samo men
could not make the objection at pres
ent. Too many extraordinary things
have since been done by their chosen
agents. l believed with the Senator
from Ohio, as | believe still, that the
proposition would have carried q ma
jority in nearly all the States Of the
Union, but it shared the fate of all
other efforts for settlement. Would
to God our country was now in tho
condition it then was, and that the
people could be allowed to settle tho
controversy for themselves under the
lights of eighteen months experience
OF war and carnage, and countless sac
riiices of national strength and char
acter
Very truly your ob't servant.

SENsIDLE.-It has been the constant
complaintof the republicans thatdemo-
Gratis were not sufficiently violent and
vindictive in their abuse Of the rebels.
In view of the remark in Iincoln's in
augural address which reads as fol-
lows: Suppose you go to war; you can
mot fight always; and when, after
"much loss on both sides, and no gain
"on either, you cease fighting, the
" identical question as to terms of IN
" tercourse are again upon you" this
isindeeda matter to be considered. OF
course il southern institutions are por-
trayed as the "sum of all villainies"
all mankind south, save his sable
highness king culfy, denounced as
hell-born pirates, Williams, the lowest
and most degraded Of the species, and
all white womankied characterized as
she-deyils, reptiles, rips, and other
pet names, and in return the most in
tense vituperation is iudulged in by
Southern people towards the North,
the way for settling questions as to
'terms of intercourse" will be made
smoother, the imbittcred feelings of
both sections lie soltened, and the
task Of those who arc to bring order
out of chaos "when this cruel war is
over" be rendered simply a pleasant
recreation. As, "to the victors belong
the spoils," so viii those who have
been most active in this conciilatory
work be entitled to the fullest credit in
the elimination for their aid in secu-
ring to the nation happy issue out of
all difficulties.

1t seems that His Exceleency, the
Hayden Minister, is quite neglected
in Washington by the gentlemen who
make so much political capital and Sc
cure such snug Offices out Of their SYM
pathy with the wrongs of his race
A Washington correspondent says:
'No better illustration can be given
of the hypocrisy of the abolitionists
than the simple fact of their utter neg
lect of tho Haytien Minister, who, al
belt very fine scholar and polished
contraband, has never been noticed by
any of our magnates. He is SO utter
ly Disguised with his treatment at
Washington that he will reside per-

THE LEGAL TENDER QursT1oY.-Ths

The Local TENDER QUESTION The
New York Commercial says:
The legal tender question, we I'M
derstand, has been carried by writ Of
error to the Supreme Court Of the
United States at Washington. Consid-
cring the numerousconhicting opinions
OF the different State judicaries, it is
highly desirable that the course should
have been taken as the only means
of obtaining final determination Of
the point in controversy. Tho next
term of the court will be held at the
capital intheearly partof nextmonth."

RErUUucNS PElcE PRoposITIoH.-
Democrats are denounced in az the
opprobmous terms which characterize
the vocabulary Of modern republican
ism if they urge the adoption Of peace
measures upon the terms Of a restored
Union; upon no other terms have the
most cXtrcms members Of the party
either desired or suggested perma-
ncnt cessation Of hostilitiies. From
the other side, however, even from the
bosom Of the intense Union party we
have prooticlo proposition, and we
have never yet seen the author de-
nounccd by his political associates as
either a "copperhcad," a secession
s5mpathiscr" or a traitor" On
the contrary he is a burning and a
Shininglight in the new-hedged Union
organization and doubtless a leading
member of some secret dark lantern
Union League in his locality.
Mr. Conway, an unconditional re-
publican supporter of the administra-
ton din its efforts" offered for the
adoption ofthe last Congress this prop
osition.
"Resolred, That the Executive be,
and he is further requested, to enter
into negotiation with the authorities
of the Confederate States with refer
cnce to a CESSATION of hostilities, based
on the following propositions:
LIST. Recognition of the indepen-
dence of the Confederate States"
Greeley was on the same platform
before the war commenced and is try
ing to get on it again. The idea whcth
er practical or not, is certainly plain,
and its origin and advocacy thus far
is menopolized entirely by the repub-
lican-union-abolition party.

NEws.-The latest news as in the
main far from encouraging, though
Gen. Thomas seems to be doing some
thing in the vicinity of Chattanooga.
We give some of the headings Gen.

vantage. Meade's army stuck in the
mud. A rebel victory claimed near
Knoxville, 800 prisoners taken. a
rebel victory also claimed in Louisiana;
5000 prisoners captured. All tele-
graphic intelligence, and decidedly
unreliable.
