And in : despite of the counsels and exertions t national, | atriotic and conservative men, at the head ol whom it is not invidious to place the name of the gallant and veteran statesman, John J. Crittenden of Ken-; tucky, and. as 1 believe, in-despite of the wislns and sentiments of a majority ot American people North and South, it the voice ot lhe people could he allowed to b heard, civil war is actually upon us.

The issue was made, hut i vaded under the administraiian ot Mr. liuehanan.
