Mr. Noel (of Mo ,) argued that the
present organiz -d Pemocratic party did
not reu ler ur.ipalifit J support to the war,
but was continually throwiog obstacles in
tbe way of its prosecution, lie undertook
to say that it was delusion to think that
'k' war lu'(;ut DaTe prevented by
the adoptiou of tbe Crittenden compro
mise. It was true that some of the load
ers of the lt'.'bellion had voted for that com
promise ; but the history of subsequent
events ahows, that, if ten or more votes
had been necsary, they could have been
procured. lie would go further, and say
that there was nothing in the Crittenden
Compromise that would have prevented
the U 'bcllion. The en- mies of the Ad
ministration held out the idea that the
war was not f r the restoration of peace,
but f ir the abolition of Slavery. But
this was untrue, although such might be
