the North, afterwards in the South
soon filed Congress with radical mem
bers from both sections; SO that when
the people discovered that VIC had drift
ted to very verge of civil war, and would
have gladly ayerted it by the adoption
of the Crittenden Compromise, it was
found that in an evil hour they had
committed their fate to men who would
not compromise, and who would not
wait tor the election of others who would
represent their wishes.
We have suffered gricyously for for
mer departures from the spirit Of COM
promise. Shall we learn wisdom from
the pastY The slaves are now all free !;
but the question as to their proper treat
ment in their new condition comes pre-
maturcly upon us, and must be met A
sectional party, inAamed by success that
was owing to peculiar circumstances,
not to their merits, demands still further
concessions. 1t may produce war Of
races, and incalculable evils Justice
should be done; but what is the true
course cannot be discovered at once
Time must be given a compromise must
be effected and we are confident that
peaceful and honorable mode Of adjust
ing the difficulty will then be found,
In the mean times, this accursed
spirit Of sectional bigotry should be
chained. That of the South has been
wiped out by the war that Of the North
may be effectually ovcrthrown at the
ballot box aud the hopes of success in
that mode are growing brighter every
day.

she acted against good policy, and mis-
took her remedy. AT all events, they
had nottricd slilpeaccable means Of re-
dress, Time would have made it appa-
rent to all, whether, or not, the North
really intended to use its strength TO
overrule the South on the slare-y ques-
tion against the guarantees of the Con-
stitution. Her lcaders, unfortunately
had broodcd over this subject for many
years, until they were incapable Of sober
Judgment. The injuries Of the South
had been their constant theme, until
their morbid imaginations could dwell
on nothing else; and every mistake Of
the Nortl;--and the success Of the Re-
publican party was really but Temporal
ny mistake---was magniiied into undue
proportions. Even for these leaders,
great as was their error, there should be
some excuse; and mercy extended to
