HON. WILLIAM BIGLER,

N<m. Ilopr, Bncki Comity, Si-pt. J 7 . 6 S'
•. lu; li,Mowing ia the concluding half of
an able sp.--ech delivered by Hon. Wm
Bumte. at the place and t me above men
tioneu. Mr. Biuiku wn-j a member of
the L. S. Senate at the time to which he
alltuiea and took a prominent purlin the
ratnotic efforts then made to prevent
h's'iniee. His speech is an able one ■
I m medial ly after the election in 1860,
tu, gathering storm, portentous and ter
rible, was obvious to ait who had eyea to
see, and here was the point at which the
men now in authority coaid have accom
plished n great work for this nation by
concession and compromise, But they per
sistently retimed to do this ; and for that
they mnst answer to the country They
must not imagine that if they succeed in
putting down the insurrection in the
bouth, that, therefore, they will be held
blameless beforei the world. I maintain,
gentlemen and I think the tacts will sus
tain me, that these men conld have avert
ed rebellion and civil war by honorable
means; and as they will surely not give
back the country in any better condition
than it was long before the war began,
they must answer for the v aBt sacrifices of
that war—crime enough to sink any party
or set of men to eternal oblivion. '
I was then your representative in the
Senate, and was so convinced of the dan
ger to the country tha;. i a December, 1860,
1 declared in that body the opinion that)
Without compromise and settlement our
destiny is inevitable—dissolution, civil
war and anareny are berfore us.” I
promptly joined that Bmall body of men
-headed by the lamented Criittenden. who
had determined to save the country, re
gardless of the sectional, party or person
al considerations.
I should like to talk tc, you at some
length about the efforts to compromise
and settle in the winter -of 1860-1 • bnt
I mußt necessarily be brief. Of the va
rious propositions brough t before Con
gress to adjust onr troubles, there was
none that gave promise erft Jin effective and
final settlement except t£» t presented by
Mr. Crittenden. It wea tl.e nature of an
eqmtable partition of the territories
rather than quarrel long®-. It was be
lieved that with this basis, ill else that
was necessary conld he attu.in ed. It came
mom the South, and was gem irons to the
JNorth. We then had about 1,200,000
square miles of common tei-ritory, ’and
if proposed to give ns all North of thirty
nix degrees thirty minutes North latitude,
Qmmn boat three ., foartha of whole or
900,000 square miles— quite alt that any
impartial .umpire could have awarded uL

have reason to thank Mr. Brongh for the Douglas in the course cf an elaborate

older man, to show where any Republican lbat in the Committee of Thirteen a few
member of Congress spoke or voted for da y a a go> etket member prom the South
the Crittenden proposition. I aver that including those from the Cotton 8 ates!
they invariably and unitedly opposed it. (Messrs. Davis and Toombs) expressed
It never was considered in the House of readiness to accept the proposition uf
Representatives ; and I am too familiar m U venerable friend’from Kentucky as a
with what occurred in the Senate to be final settlement of the controversy, it ten
mistaken on any essential point. i’he Re- deredand sustained by the Repaid can’
publicans of that body opposed it without members. Hence the sole responsibility
any exceptions. Their opposition took of disagreement, and the only dtffi nl

they cast a united vote against its oonsia- These remarks were made, as I well re
erotion, and they did the same thing on member, before a very full Senate—in the
the Jsth. On the 17th they voted for Mr. ptesence of nearly, if not quite all, the
Jliark's motion to strike ont the Critten Bepnblican and Southern Senators ' and
de n proposition, and insert certain reßoln- n 0 °ne dare to dispute the tacts s ate I.
tion i agreeable to themselves. On this Mr. Pngh, on the 2d day of March' in
vote tbe yeas were twenty-five, and the the course of a very able speech, remark
nays tv’enty-three, so Mr. Clark’s amend- sd •
ment j>r. > caiied, and the Crittenden prop
osition wa a defeated. This is the vote r n
wnich thß (. niton State Senators, withheld
their votes, a nti of this which I shall have
occasion to speak hereafter. Gen. Came
ron, as though alarmed at what had been
done, immediately moved a reconsidera
tion of the vote. This motion came np for
consideration the n ext being the lSih,
when Gen. Cameron (to h.s shame be it
said) voted against his own motion, and
was sustained by every member of the
Republican party. The final vote was Dot
taken until, the lid of March, when every
Northern Democrat, and every Southern
Senator, then present voted in the affirma
tive, and every Republican in the negative.
The truth is, the Radicals of that body ,
showed no i lclicacion to settle; they;
sneered at the .attitude of the South and at
the suggestion of real danger. It ia well
known that when the Peace Conference
was in session theso men exerted them
selves to have it filled' with impracticable
Radicals. Mr. Chandt’er and Mr. Harlan
were detected in this nn worthy effort.
Bnt more and worse. After these im- j
practicable Radicals haa succeeded in
so diluting the proceedings , ''f the “Peace
Conference” as to destroy th e ' r influence
on the Southern mind, and th ®y were re
ferred to a committee of the Se, com
posed of Messrs. Crittenden, Seward,
Thompson, Trumbull and myself- Mr.
Seward, in that committe, in a S', ">irit oi
sarcasm and ridicule, because even that
much had been done toward settlem ent j
moved to strike out those proceedi, 'E®
and insert certain futile words of his otr, t-
He afterwards did this in open Senate.
When Mr. Crittenden remonstrated against
his course, he replied with that profound
complacency for which he is so remark
able : “Why, gentlemen, this excitement
is totally unnecessary ; the troubles yon
are so alarmed about will not last ninety
days.”
•Why, gentlemen, this class of men were
as determined against any compromise as
were Messrs. Wigfall and Iverson. Mr.
Wade, with whom I served in the Com
mittee of Thirteen, seemed to become die
triSßed and indignant at the'slightest indi
cations of settlement. Abont the same
time it was that Mr. Greeley was encour
aging the “wayward sisters to depart ia)
peace," for the sole purpose, as it now
appears, of inaugurating a war of exter
mination against slavery, for I suppose no.
one will deny that the overthrow of sla
very and not the restoration of the Union
is now the real object .of the Greelev
school of fanatics. 1

But it m now said that the Southern
membereof Congresß could have adopted
the Crittenden Compromise, had they de
sired to dp bo. No allegation conld be
more preppaterous. Why, every body*
knows that the Southern member* wem
‘ ‘The Crittenden proposition has been
endorsed by the almost unanimous vote
of the Legislature of Kentucky. It has
been endorsed by the Legislature of the
noble old Commonwealih of Virginia. It
has been petitioned for by a larger number
of electors of the United Btates than any
proposition that was ever before Con
gress. I believe in my heart, to-day,
that it would carry an overwhelming ma
jority of the people of my State j aye,
sir, and of nearly every other state in the
union. Before the Senators from the
State of Mississippi left this chamber, I
heard one of them, who assumes, at least,
to be President of the Southern Confed
eracy,propose to accept it, and to main
tain the Union, if that proposilinn could
receive the vote it ought to receive from the
other side of this Chamber.
Mr. Douglas, at the Bame time, said in
reply.
“I can confirm the Senator's declara
tion that Senator Davis himself , when on
the Cimmittee of Thirteen. was ready at
all times to compromise oh the Crittenden
proposition. I will go further and say
that Mr. Toombs was also ready to do so"
But if this testimony were not in exist
ence at all, do we not all know that the
great'State of Virginia endorsed this prop
osition and submitted it to the other
States as a basis of a .final adjustment and
permanent peace? It was thi basis on
which that State called for the Peace Con
ference which assembled Boon thereafter.
It was also endorsed by almost the
unanimous vote of the Legislatnreof Ken
tucky, and subsequently by those of Ten
nessee and North Carolina.
When the struggle was at its height in
t_Teorgia, between Robert Tombs for se
cs, ssion and A. H. Stephens against it
baa those men in the Committee of Thir
teen, w .*>° are now so blameless in their
own & 'timation, given us their votes, or
even th. " ee ot them, Stephens would have
defeated loombs, and secession would
have bee Q prostrated. I heard Mr.
Toombs Mt.y to. Mr. Douglas that the re
sult in Geo."g|a was staked on the action
of the Comniittee of Thirteen. If it ac
cepted the Crittenden proposition, Ste
