f the sundered segments of these Christian associations should come together by mutual attraction, and be cemented into a whole by reciprocal affection, this would be such glad tidings of great joy as the telegraph might flash with ecstasy over the land; as newspapers might herald with exhilarating flourishes of type; as patriots might hall with unalloyed gladness, and sleep upon with repose unrelieved by anxiety. But it is only evidences of a character like these which can insure the return of friendship between the sections and convalescence to the Union. But when it is announced that Mr. Seward, Mr. Douglas and Mr. Crittenden have put their heads together and devised a scheme of compromise, we recognize only a piece of head- work, without heart work; we turn from their scheme as the mere contrivance of an ingenious and interested few; the truce of politicians, the ruse of an enemy, and not the spontaneous offering of the multitude, returning to a sense of justice and patriotism.
stitution provides that amendments to that instrument must be approved by three-fourths of the States. By the middle of February one-fourth of the States will be out of the Union. Yet the determination of Congress is not to recognize their secession. The Clerks of both Houses have been instructed not to strike the names of their Representatives from the rolls, and to call them whenever the rolls are called. Therefore, they must be estimated in the voting on proposed amendments. As they will not vote, the entire remaining three-fourths voting, must vote for amendments before they can be declared adopted. Will such an unanimous vote be given for the Crittenden amendment even? And will that satisfy the Southern States if it should so be approved? These are questions to be considered. Events are rolling on, and we cannot see the ready solution of such obstacles by every breath of rumor as to the temper and disposition of one or two individuals, however prominent they may be.
The Daily Dispatch: January 30, 1861., [Electronic resource], Visit of the Boards of Trade of Milwaukee and Chicago to Washington. (search)
Ex-President Tyler. This aged public servant returned yesterday from Washington city, and is sojourning at the Exchange. Regarded with general respect and veneration as he is, he is looked to with deep interest in his present labor of love in endeavoring to restore peace to his distracted country. But he comes back from the Federal city, we would infer from what we hear, with certainly no increase of hope. If there are really any strong indications of a brighter day to excite hopes in the minds of Messrs. Crittenden, Douglas , and others, they have not been manifested to him, or his joy would be reflected in his own countenance, which was wont so to beam with cheerfulness and benignity. It is plain that his concern for his country is none the less, and that his heart is heavily oppressed with what he has seen and heard.
evens, of Pennsylvania, agreed with Mr. Pryor, that no compromise can be effected, and cited the news of yesterday from South Carolina to show it. The Southern States could not be turned from their deliberate action by soft words or tears. He opposed the right of secession. Mr. Harris, of Md., denied the constitutionality of the right of secession. He expressed the belief that not a corporal's guard in Maryland favored disunion. Faults had been committed on both sides, but Southern politicians fostered disunion, as affording a new sphere for their defeated ambition in the Union. He favored Crittenden's resolutions. Mr. Winslow, of N. C., defended Southern rights, and reviewed the proceedings of the committee. He said the North ultimately designed the total abrogation of slavery, and without quarter, and it could not be expected the South would remain in the Union. Mr. Van Wyck denounced secession, but counseled conciliation. No action was had. Adjourned.
