he Peace Conference propositions he differed entirely with the gentleman from Kanawha,(Mr. Summers.) A basis of adjustment ought to settle forever the agitation of the slavery question, which this failed to do. All agreed that the State was no longer safe under the Constitution of our fathers, and only differed on the amendments proposed to be incorporated. It was sufficient to render a change necessary, to know that the forms of the Constitution were observed in the election on the 6th of November last, which has resulted in the inauguration of a party avowedly hostile to our interests, and permitted that party to seize all the power of Government, and to wield it to our oppression. The Constitution that we require must be a shield to protect us, not only in the territories, forts, dock-yards, &c., but must give us equality in all the purposes of Government. The first section of the Peace Propositions conceded to the Black Republican party all that they had ever asked for. The very

He said if war should come we would invade the North with fire and sword, and compel the

Mr. Fessenden declared he had said no such thing, he desired to know if Mr. Douglas recognized the code. Mr. Douglas--I assure the Senator he will be responded to when he makes the inquiry in proper form. Mr. Fessenden said that Mr. Douglas need not apprehend a hostile message from him.--He defined his position on the subject of the code. Mr. Douglas responded, reviewing all the proceedings which had led to the difficulty, and contending that it begun by Mr. Fessenden doubting his (Mr. D. 's) word. Mr. Hale said he had something to say in response to Mr. Douglas' onslaught on the Republicans. He read amid roars of laughter, the 4th verse of, the 15th chapter of II. Samuel.
