Iteponlble for the failure of the Crittenden compromise The Plan I'ropoaed bj Jtr. Crittenden In Congre during: theKeiilonof IHOOCl for the Adjustment of our Nation al Difficulties and the Ferpetuitr of the I-'nlon Ujon the .-embling of Congress, December 3--1, IcGO, every State in the Union was represent ed in the House uf Representatives, and in the Scuato- all but South Carolina. Secession wa threatened by the Gulf Sutes. The repreaentativej of Southern Sutea generally demand ed a IJitiomI connitutional guarantees for the protectiou of their rights ander the Constitution. It is not ropo-ed here to decide whether trWe demands were jmt or unju.i, or whether the triumph of a "cctiorul party in the Presidential election of IcGO was a justification on the part of the Southern States for demanding those additional guarantees fur the protection of the rights which they regarded as bating been put in jeopardy by the success 1 that party. The question to be examined is. Could the proent civil war and the threatened permanent disunion of the States have been averted by the adoption of the plan of adjustment proposed by the Senator from Kentucky, commonly known as the Critte.mje.n Compromise? TÄTE Or PUBLIC UiXD IX THK oOUTH. In a Ft cech in the Senate, January 3d, 1SC1, (ee appendix to Congressional Globe, p. 3), Mr. Douglas thus referred to the state of public mind in the South : Rut we cannot cloe our eyes to the fact that the Southern people have viewed the result of that election (Mr. Lincoln's) as furnishing evidence that the dominant party ot the North, which is soon to take possession of the Federal Government under that election, are determined to iurd ant destroy their constitutional rights. Relieving that their domestic institutions, their hearth stones and their family altars, are to be aailel, at least by indirect means, and that the Federal Government is to be used for the inauguration of a line of policy which phall have for in ol.ject the ultimate extinction of al&Yery in all the States, old as well as new, South as well as North, the Southern people are prepared to rush wildly, madly, as I think into revolution, disunion, war, and defy the consequences whatever they may be, rather than to wait for the development of events or submit tamely to what they think is a fatal blow impending over them and all they hold dear on earth. WITHOUT COMPROMISE DISUNION I.NLVITABLE. Appreciating the condition of the country and the necessity of compromise to avoid the calamities of civil war and disunion, Mr. Douglas, in the same speech, (on page 41 ), said : In my opinion we have reached a point where disunion is inevitable, unless some compromise, founded upon mutual concession, can be made. I prefer compromise to war. I prefer concession to a di--o!ution of the Union. When I avow myself in faTor of compromise, I do not mean that one siue should give up all that it has claimed, nor that the other ide should give up every thing lor which it has contended. Nor do I ask anv man to come to rur standard : but I sömnlv sav that I will meet everv one half wav who is j wiilini to preserve the peace of the country, and t ave the Union Inuu disruption upon the princi- i jtie 01 compromise ana concession. In the same speech (on-page 12) Mr. Douglas adds : In mv opinion we hate now reached a point where this aptttiuu (the slavery question) must J clor-e. and all the matters in controversy be finally determined by constitutional amendment, or civil war and the disruption of the Union are inevitible. I repret the determination, to which I apprehend the Republican Senators have come, to make no aju-tment, entertain no proposition, and listen to no compromise of the matters in controversy. I fear, from all the indications, that they are disposal to treu the matter as a part? question, to 4. determined in caucus in reference to its effects upn the tvs pect of their party, rather than upon the jeace of the couutry and the safety of the Union. 1 I invoke their deliberate judgment whether it is not a dangerous experiment for any political party to demonstrate to the American peop'e that the unity of their party is dearer to them than the union of these states. CRITTKNDKN S ILAX rROPOSiD. Such was the condition of the public mind and the necessity of adopting some measures to prevent the calamities of civil war and disunion, so forcibly et forth by Mr. Dot glas in his able speech in the Senate, from which the foregoing eitrarts are .lUiiteJ that th sm!nint ttiiMnon 1 and patriot of Ker.tuckv. John J. Crittenden.1 leu caiieu ujoii as a uuiv to n;s country to t is a duty to h;s country to iro- - pose a plan of adjustment to the Sen ite and the t people, which he did December l?;h, lM0. See , Con$rr$iiOnal Globe, vol. 1, pae 114, 1M(V-61. At tr at time not a State had seceded or left the Union. If Congress had acted promptly upon the proposition, and adopted it by a vote which would have demontrated that the North intend ; ed to have acted in good faith, there is evidence ; to show that not a S-ate would hue attempted secession, excepting perhaps Suth Carolina. ' As a part of the history of secession wc give the dates when the several States acceded from . the Union: South Carolina Dec.

Twenty one Sutea were represented in the I'eace Couveutioti, fourteen Northern and even Southern, viz: Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri. The proposition for a conlereuce or -coLveotion of five commissioner from each

State on t!rt condition of public affairs was fint brought forward cd adoptel by the Legislature of Virginia to adjust "the pre-ent urihar? controversies in the a, irit in which the Constitution was crkina'.iv formed." This show there m

a strong disposition on 'the part of the horJer slave States to adjust the national difficulties and preserve the Union. The plan of the Peace Convention was submitted to Congress on the 27th day of February, 1G1, before Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, and North Carolina had seceded, but it waa rejected. It may be well to add here that the Crittenden Compromise was offered in the Peace Convention as a plan of adjustment, but it was rejected by that body. The secession of aeven States, South Carolina Florida, MusUsippi, Alabama, Georgia, Louisi ana, and Texas, all before the 1st of February, lh61, gave the Republican party a majority in both the Senate and House of Representatives, and hence the responsibility of accepting or rejecting the proposition of compromise proposed by Mr. Crittenden, Mr. Douglas, and the Peace Conference rests with the Republican party, and no proposition would have been acceptable to the South unless it had been sustained by a majority of the members of that political organization. In making this statement the withdrawal of the members of Congress from the seceded States is cot justified, but a fearful responsibility rests upon them for permitting the control of the Government to thus pass into the hands of a sectional party. Rut while condemning the action of the members who withdtew, it does not lessen the re-ponaibility of the Republican majority in Congress. It was in their power at any time to have kept Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, and North Carolina willing and firm members of the Union by adopting either the Crittenden or Peace Convention compromises. FINAL ACTION UPON THE CRITTENDEN COMPROMISE. It was not until Sunday, the 3d of March, 1?C1, the last day of the 3Cth Congress, that a vote was permitted in the Senate upon the plan of adjustment known as the "Crittlnlix Com promise." That vote is ;iven as evidence that the Republican Senators never intended that any plan of compromise should be adopted with their apjroval, but that their party doctrines and the supremacy of their party in the control of the Government were far superior to their desire for the preservation of the Union in peace ami with the good will of all the States. VOTE IX THE SENATE Upon the direct vote, taken March 3d, lcGl, for the adoption or rejection of ti e Crittendex Compromise, just as it was offered by the distinguished Senator from Kentucky, the following was the result in the Senate yeas Id, nays 20 Yeas Messrs. Bayard, BiIer, Rright, Crit tendex, Douglas, (Jwin, Hunter, Johnson of Tennessee, Kennedy, Line, Latham, Mason, Nicholson, Polk.

The Democrats are in Roman; Republicans, a , and Americaus ia small cars. It thus appears that all the Democrats and Americans present in the Senate voted for the Crittenden compromise and ail the Republicans preseut voted against it not a Republicon vote is recorded in its favor. VOTE IN THE IIOCSE. On February 27th, lc6l, Mr. Clemens, a Representative from Virginia, proposed to the House that the Crittenden compromise should be Submitted to a vote of the people for adoption or rejection. He proposed the following joint resolution: Wulreas, The Union is in danger; ana owing to the unhappv divisions existing in Congress, it ' would be diliicult, if not impossible, for that body to concur, in both its branches, by the requisite majority, so as to enable it either to adopt such measures of legislation, or to recommend to the States such amendments to the Constitution, as are deemed necessary and proper to avert that danger; and whereas, in so great nn emergency, the opinion and judgment of the people ought to bo heard, und would be the best and surest guide to their Representatives: Therefore, Rfsolred by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That provision ought to be made by law, without delay, for taking the sense of the people, and submitting to their vote the following resolutions Crittenden's as the basis for the final and permanent settlement of those disputes that now disturb the peace of the countrj and threaten the existence of the Union.

Hence, the so!e re-ton-d-bility of our di.igrem'i.t. and th only difficulty in Üie w ay of an amicable a !ju.tment, is with the Republican part v. (See Appendix to Congressional Glove, l!-60-Cl, p. 41.) Scn.itor Pugh, in a speech in the Senate, on the 2d day of March, 161 (see Congressional Gkbe, leGO-Cl, toI. 2. p. 133d,) Haid: The Crittenden proposition has been indorsed by the almost unanimous vote of the Legislature of Kentucky. It has been induced by the noble old Commonwealth of Virginia. Mt has been

petitioned for by a larger number of electors of the Lnited States than any proportion that was ever before Congress. 1 believe in my heart, tod.iy, that it would carry an overwhelming major ity of the people of my State; aye, sir, and of neirlv everv other State in the tmen. Before the Senators from the State of Mississippi left thi Chamber, I heard one of them, who now as sumes, at least, tob the President of the Southern Confederacy, proposed to accept it and to maintain the Union if that proposition could re ceive the vote it ought to receive from the other side of this Chamber. Therefore, of all your propositions, of all your amendments, knowin as 1 do, and knowing that the historian will write it down, at any time before the first of January, a two third vote for the Crittenden resolutions in this Chamber, would h ive saved every State in the Union, but South Carolina. Georgia would have been here with her representatives, and Louisiana also- those two great States, which at least, would have broken the whole column of secession. Yet, sir, it has been staved off staved off for your futile railroad bill; and where is it to-night? Staved off by your tariff bill; staved otT by your pension bills. On the name day, p. 1331, Mr. Douglas thus confirmed the declarations of Mr. Pugh: The Senator has said that if th Ajrittenden proposition could have been passed early in the session, it would have saved all the States, ex cept South Carolina. I firrolv believe it would White the Crittenden proposition was not in accordance with my cherished views, I avowed mv readiness and eagerness to accept it, in order to save the Union, if we could unite upon it. No man has labored harder than I l ave to get it passed. I can confirm the Senator's declaration, that Senator Divis himself, when on the commit tee of thirteen, was ready, at all times, to compromise on the Crittenden proposition. I will go farther, and say that Mr. ioombs was also. On the ICth of July, ic6l. Joux C. Breckix ridge, a Senator from Kentucky, made the fol lowing declarations upon the floor of the Senate It was stated upon the floor of the Senate by the lite Senator from Illinois (Mr. Douglas), and I happened personally to know the fact myself, that the leading statesmen of the lower Southern States were willing to accept the terms of settlement which were proposed by the vener able Senator from Kentucky (Mr. Crittenden), my predecessor. The Republican prty, from the evidence presented, were unwilling to compromise they preferred civil war to peace. In the language of Senator Chandler, of Michigan, they did not think the "Union worth a curse without a little blood letting." Will not the verdict of the country bo with the declaration of Mr. Douglas, "Hence, the sole responsibility of our disagreement, and the only difficulty in the way of an amicable adjustment, is (as it has been from the beginning), with the Republican party.

The regular train of eight cars for this citv was loaded with women aud children. Two special trains left Jeffersonville last night to accommodate the families leaving Louisville.

Sextixel: Ttie "bubarian Nelson in command," is one ot the captious of the Extra Journal of to-day! Why does the Journal editor exhibit such a maliguant and vindictive spirit towards one of our ablest and most efficient Generals? Who is General Nelson, that in this hour of our country's peril, hois foully stigmatized and abused by oue ol the leading organs of the national cause? Is he a piratical and ttiieving John Morgan 7 Is he an enemy to the Union cause ? Wherein has he offended the Solou of the Journal and his satellites ? ' I remember him as the chief savior of Kentucky. When for obvious reasons the policy ot neutrality was adopted for the time being in that glorious Commonwealth, he went to Washington, and with the assistance of the Hon. Garrett Davis and others, he obtained some 15,000 st:ind of arms and distributed them to loyal companies of home guards, to drill aud prepare themselves, nevertheless, to maintain Kentucky's loyalty urainst the arrant traitors in our midst. This had a most salutary effect in hushing up the mouthings of the Secessionists. Again: when the time h id come to break that I neutrality, by virtue of a threatened inroad of the oecesaionisis irom i euises.-ee, lie uiipieciauM me crisis by boldly organizing Camp Dak Robinson, where he gathered some 12,000 men, and organized them into regiments. Subsequently, at the battle of Jay Mountain, he freed Eastern Kentucky from the rebel army of Cerro Gordo Williams, lie made Kentucky an active Union State instead of a neutral oue into a State which now has more men in the Union army in proportion to her loyal imputation thin any of her sisters! And who does not know that to him are we principally indebted lor the doitous victorv of our armv on the bloody held of Sliiloh?

Michioan Citt, Sept. 22, 1S62. Mr. Editor On last Saturday, the Democracy of Laporte County held the largest, most harmonious and enthusiastic Convention that has ever been in this County, Thev nominated 'a popular and strong ticket, and adjourned determined to elect it, and I have no doubt thev will. For Representatives. Judge John W. Bu:ter field and Col. John C. Walker; for Treasurer, Thos. Larkin: for Auditor, Andrew J.

The old Democrats were there, all men, no boys or women. We have de termined to beat little Greeley (alias S. Colfax), and you may think as you please, we are going to do it. Porter has a good ticket, and we will carry it through handsomely. Hurrah for the true Union Party, the true Democracy! Yours, D. 1 ruin the New Ycrk Argus. Tlic Central Mute. The indications are mult plying on all sides that the States of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania are to resume their normal positions, as Democratic States. There are intimations of similar indications of correct public sentiment in Illinois and other Western States; but we prefer to confine ourselves to those of the old thirteen States, whose movement to the side of the Union and the Constitution appear to us most significant. These three States, at the formation of the Constitution, surrendered much of their prerogative and position for the sake of forming a common Govertment. They allowed the interior States of New England and the undeveloped States of the South and West, to outweigh them in representation. Tney gave over their interest in the public lands to the common Government. They interposed themselves between the sections to preserve peace. They were interested in the increase of the West and the development of the South. The acquisition of territory in both directions was welcome to them, because it brought wider maikets, and insured a broader and more vigorous nationality. Thee States were always from interest and principle and position patriotic and anti-sectional. It was only when demagogues had broken up the Democratic party, aud fanaticism absorbed the old antagonistic organization, that they were betrayed momentarily into a false attitude. Now they are about to retrieve their tuition and take tbeir place on the sido of "the Union, the Constitution, and the Laws." What will be the effect of this political revo lution, or rather restoration, in these States? So far as the North is concerned, it will g?v i ii-sui auiv iii.it a tii.uic yii c CI liei U demanded, has been dictated by the people to the Administration; and that it must be yielded to. The Administration, as liow organized, (we include in this phrase the constitution of the Cabinet,) does not command the tonfidence of any considerable number of the people. They do not believe in its intelligence, nor hone.-ty, nor administrative capacity, nor even in its entire sincerity, iu the proposed object of lestoring the Union. It is in vain that the voice of the press, of public meetings, of formal deputations U heard imp'oiing the President to give elHciency to bis administration. The instruction of the people i- needed, and that must be given at the billot box. We have reached that stage of jo!itical crisis, wherein our jxtsition resembles that of the British Parliament; when a rcvolction of political opinion dictates a change of ministry and a modification of governmental policy. Instead of it policy vague, vacillating and destructive, we want one which si ail be intelligent, resolute and effective. The restoration of Democratic influences in the North, would have the double e fleet of consolidating our military strength and the force of our political position, and of dividing the South. But there is something more than this demanded by the cri-is, and which would be effect ed by the influence of these great Democratic States asserting their position as the advocates ot con stitutional law. On every side we hear of propositions to disregard the Constitution. The rights of the press, of individual liberty and of property sire treated with contemrt bv a class of demagogues who now propose to estiblish a military DL-tatorshijt.,; The men who make this proposition, for the most part cowards and criminals, seek to shelter ' themselves from the outraged law, under the j cover ot Mime military usurpation. vv eakminded and I earful .in this crisis as they hive been wicked and blind, iu every antecedent step, they ?eek to find refuge from their own lolly and vacillation, iti a despotism, no matter how" odious. Thev know not what they say. A dictatorship means assassination ; an absolutism means an- j archy. There can be no revolution, without j counter revolution. The Mira beau tiff to-day, will be folio we 1 by Diuton, and Danton displaced ! by Robespiene, and a reign of corruption nnd t imbecility must follow th reicn of terror, before ; we are reidy for a Napoleon. ! Ttie men who now invoke despotism in the: name of order, invite anarchy as when awhile; ago they proposed to usher in the icign of liber- ; ty, they proposed an ahsuliiti.-m. There can be ' no such thing as the overthrow of constitutional ' law and order, without civil war and aifarchv. The man w ho ventures to lay his unlicensed hand j on theaik of the Constitution, even to steady it lest it f.t'l, will be struck down bv the hand of ; God ! It is for this we neel a restoration of the Democratic party to restore once more the reign of j constitutional law, und to revive the sentiment of ! loyalty to t,e Constitution and of abhorrence of despotic and lawless power.
