51.-the compromise petition at New York, June 28.
To his Excellency Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States:
The undersigned, citizens of New York, beg leave to present to you, most respectfully and earnestly, the following considerations:
While they hold themselves ready to sustain and defend their Government, and you as its legal head, they respectfully suggest that the only remaining honorable position for you to take to prevent the horrors of civil war and preserve the Union, is to adopt the policy of an immediate General Convention of all the States, as suggested in your Inaugural.
This course would secure a peaceful solution of our national difficulties, and if any State refused to join said Convention to amend the Constitution, or adjust a peaceable separation, it would stand unanimously condemned before the civilized world.
Earnestly deprecating civil war among brethren, we implore and beseech you to adopt this course, which you may rest assured
