The Daily Dispatch: January 10, 1861., [Electronic resource], Major Anderson in Congress. (search)
resolutions were adopted — ayes 124, nays 55. The Republicans voted aye, in a body. The Northern Democrats divided — for, while Messrs. Cochrane, Sickles, and MacClay, of New York city, went with the Republicans, Messrs. Florence, of Pa., Vallandigham, of Ohio, and Scott, of California, voted with the South. Some of these gentlemen, voting nay, explained that if the resolution had been confined, simply, to a commendation of Major Anderson, they would have supported it — but believing its effect in the present excited state of the country would do more harm than good, they must vote against it. On the other hand, some members from the South would have given it their support, but from the fact that the Republicans had all along refused the olive branch, though repeatedly offered on their side. Others opposed it on the ground that it meant mischief and civil war. The Southern members voting aye, were Adams and Anderson of Ky., Clemens and Jenkins of Va., and Etheridge of Tennes

oes. The Mayor of New York city talks about seceding from the State, and a friend of mine lately saw a Rhode Island paper which urged with vehemence the right and duty of that little State to cut itself off from the tyranny of the fanatics of Massachusetts. But this is all talk. When it comes to blows, section will be against section, North against South. We had a salute early this morning in honor of the day, and now another is going on. --There will be a parade and a hundred guns for Anderson. This reminds me that Clemens, of Virginia, voted in the House yesterday with the Abolitionists, approving Anderson's conduct and Buchanan's determination to sustain him. The vote was not taken without great disorder. A general fight in the House at an early day is not at all improbable. Hackett is playing Falstaff at the Theatre.--I have been too busy to hear him. The weather is very mild. You recollect it was predicted that we would have an exceedingly severe winter.Zed.
