Thus the Republicans, having clear ma
jorily, in the House OF Representatives, re-
fused TO submit the Crilienden Compromise
10 the sense of the people.
The question then reverted TO the original
proposition. Ii was not until Sunday, The
Sd Of March, 1861, the last day OF the
Thirty sixth Congress, that vote was per
mitled in The Senate upon the plan of ad-
iustmeu, known as the "Crhienden Com
promise" That vote is given as evidence
that the Republican Senators never intended
that any plan of compromise should be
adopted with their approval, bat that their
party doctrines and the supremacy of their
party in the control of the Government
were far superior 10 their desire for the pres
ervation OF the Union in peace and with The
good will of all the States.
Upon the direct vote, taken March I'd,
1861, for the adoption of the Crilenden
promise, just as it was offered by the
distinguished Senator from Kentucky, the
following was the result in the Senate
yeas, 80; nays, 20.
Yeas-Messrs. Bayard, BigIer, Bright,
Crnlenden, Douglas, Gwin, Hunter, john
sion, of Tennessee, Kennedy, Lane, Latham,
Mason, Nicholson, Polk, Pngh, Rice, Sebas
tan, Thomson and WigtaIl-l9 of which
II were Democrats, and Americans.
Nays-Messrs. Anthony, Bingham, Chan
dler, Clark, Dixon, Dooliue, DaTkee Fes-
senden, Foot, Foster, Grimes, Harlan, King.
MoIriI, Sumner, Ten EVck, Tsnmbull,
Wade, Wilkinson and Wilson-20; all Re-
publcans.
II thus appears that all the Democrats and
Americana present in the Senate voted for
ihe Cri,iendsn Compromise, aud all the
Republicans voted agsins! it.
Before this vote was given. as a last eff
fort 20 averi the impending conaici, Peace
Convention, composed of delegates of sew
eral Of the States, assembled in Washing
ton at the Invitation Of Virginia, for the
purpose of maturing some proposition
which it was hoped would be acceptable to
the dominan, party. They agreed upon
measures of peace, but, like all oihers, they
were rejected by The Republican party
The following letter, written by Senator
Chandler, OF Michigan, to the Governor Of
that State, exposes, as clearly as any Ian
guage we could employ, The spirit which
prompted The Republicans 10 oppose every
possible plan of peace:
