They become outcasts naturally, and neither wealth nor position can raise them on an equality with the whites; they are shunned, disgraced, and unknown! This is right, and is in obedience to God's organic law. Let each class of creation, whether inanimate or animate, produce itself; and any deviation from this principle is an unequivocal departure from God's ordinance in his creation. Hence, why should not the Caucasian race, as in New York, act as the Yorkers do with reference to the Africans in that city? They, with Beecher, have snuffed the breeze from the organic law, and have, in part, acted upon it. Wherefore, then, not wholly? God did not create us and you Yorkers by halves! and you will not be men in the organic sense till you act fully up to the letter and spirit of the organic law, which you see proved in this work, as unpretending as it may appear to you. It is founded on the springs of organic matter, as when first brought into inanimate and animate life. Therefore, dodge it if you can.

In this connection of our work, pained and indignant as we feel towards the Abolitionists for departing from organic law, with their usual persistence in vice and crime, which all similar isms and departures lead to, we quote the following pertinent correspendence, as an extract from the Cincinnati Daily Enquirer of October 27, 1862, as follows:

IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENCE THE HISTORY OF THE CRITTENDEN COMPROMISE-IT WAS REJECTED BY THE REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS-IF ADOPTED, THE SOUTH WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT-IT WOULD HAVE SAVED THE UNION AND PREVENTED WAR-LETTER FROM EX-SENATOR BIGLER, OF PENNSYLVANIA.

We take the following from the Harrisburg Patriot and Union of October 6:

CLEARFIELD, Sept. 27, 1862.

HON. WM. BIGLER-Dear Sir: The Hon. L. W. Hall, at present the candidate of the Republican party for the State Senate in this District, in the course of his address to the people on the evening of the 22d inst., stated that "some Republican members of the United States Senate had voted for the Crittenden Compromise and some voted against it, and that it would have been carried had all the Southern men voted for it," or words to that effect. He also complained that certain Senators from the Cotton States had withheld their vote on the Clark Amendment, by which the Crittenden Compromise was defeated.

As you were a member of the United States Senate at the time, and acted a conspicuous part in favor of that and other measures of adjustment during the memorable session of 1860 and 1861, and must be very familiar with the facts, we respectfully request, that you furnish us, for public use, a brief history of the proceedings of the Senate on the resolution fami

liarly known as the Crittenden Compromise, and of the surrounding circumstances:

CLEARFIELD, Sept. 29, 1862.

GENTLEMEN: I am in receipt of your letter, and with pleasure proceed to comply with your request. In doing this I shall endeavor to be brief, though it must be obvious that anything like a full history of the proceedings of the United States Senate on the resolutions familiarly known as the Crittenden Compromise, and the occurrences incident thereto, cannot be compressed into a very short story.

You can all bear me witness that in the addresses I have made to the people, since my retiracy from

the Senate, I have not sought to press this subject on their consideration in any party light. I have held that the Government and country must be saved, no matter whose folly and madness had imperiled them; that we should first extinguish the flames that are consuming our national fabric, and afterward look up and punish the incendiary who had applied the torch; but as the subject has been brought before this community by a distinguished member of the Republican party, for partisan ends, and statements made inconsistent with the record, it is eminently proper that the facts-at least, all the essential facts -should be given to the public.

It is not true that some Republican members of the Senate supported the "Crittenden Compromise" and some opposed it. They opposed it throughout, and without an exception. Their efforts to defeat it were in the usual shape of postponements and amendments, and it was not until within a few hours of the close of the session that a direct vote was had on the proposition itself.

On the 14th of January they cast a united vote against its consideration, and on the 5th they did the same thing, in order to consider the Pacific Railroad Bill.

But the first test vote was had on the 17th day of January, on the motion of Mr. Clark, of New Hampshire, to strike out the Crittenden proposition and insert certain resolutions of his own, the only object manifestly being the defeat of the former. The yeas and nays on this vote were as follows:

Yeas-Messrs. Anthony, Baker, Bingham, Came

ron, Chandler, Clark, Collamer, Dixon, Doolittle, Durkee, Fessenden, Foot, Foster, Grimes, Hale, Harlan, King, Seward, Simmons, Sumner, Ten Eyck, Trumbull, Wade, Wilkinson and Wilson-25..

Nays-Messrs. Bayard, Bigler, Bragg, Bright, Clingman, Crittenden, Fitch, Green, Lane, Latham, Mason, Nicholson, Pearce, Polk, Powell, Pugh, Rice, Saulsbury and Sebastian-23.

So Mr. Clark's amendment prevailed and the Crittenden proposition was defeated.

On the announcement of this result the whole subject was laid on the table.

This was the vote on which some six or eight Senators from the Cotton States withheld their votes, and of this I shall speak hereafter.

It is true that within a few hours after these proceedings, as though alarmed about the consequences of what had been done, Senator Cameron moved a reconsideration of the vote by which the Crittenden proposition had been defeated.

The motion came up for consideration on the 18th, and to the amazement of every body not in the secret, Senator Cameron voted against his own motion, and was joined by every other Senator of his party. The vote is recorded on page 443 of the 1st volume, Congressional Globe, and is as follows:

Yeas-Messrs. Bayard, Bigler, Bragg, Bright, Clingman, Crittenden, Douglas, Fitch, Green, Gwin, Hunter, Johnson of Arkansas, Johnson of Tennessee, Kennedy, Lane, Latham, Mason, Nicholson, Pearce, Polk, Pugh, Powell, Rice, Saulsbury, Sebastian and Slidell-27.
