The Daily Dispatch: March 4, 1861., [Electronic resource], What Mr. Buchanan proposes to do after the fourth of March. (search)
1861. The agony is over — the Peace Conference has assembled, discussed and adjourned. The mountain has been in labor for these many weeks-terrible groans have been uttered — a great multitude of people have looked on expecting to see the monstrous progeny brought forth, and behold, the mountain in her travail, has brought forth a mouse. And yet, I think I see Virginia, though she voted no in that Conference, turning a longing eye to the old corrupt Union--the flesh pots of Egypt.--Stanton's somerset, and Corwin's wheel about, Seward's honied words, and "Abe's" power to bestow a few fat Federal offices, may have some effect upon your "leaders," and hold you all to the blessed Union. Well, if you are about to leave, I will address you as one once did an old Commodore; "So fare say should old Hawser Trunnion — man and boy I have known thee these eight and forty years, and a braver soul never broke bread." Everything here is as busy as a bee. Our docks begin to be crowded <
t out at him, and said something to him in tones too low to be caught. It is believed that the old gentleman did not mince his words. So, putting this thing and that thing together, the submissionists are mightily disheartened to-day. They think because Chase and Blair are going in the Cabinet, there will be coercion, and so the Border States will be forced out of the inestimable Union. They need not be alarmed. There is no danger.--Chase has said. "Inauguration first; adjustment afterward." Besides, if the Border States can be driven out of the Union only at the point of the bayonet, it is very evident that their proper place is not with the South, not yet in a Confederacy of their own. They belong to the North. The speeches of Stanton and Kilgore go to show that, in spite of the non-acceptance of the Peace Conference compromise, the powerful North is willing to pet and protect old broken down Virginia. We ought to be mighty grateful for so much condescension. Zed.
