Excerpt from Civil Government
The past year has been one of great anxiety for the peace and union of our country. The danger, though greatly lessened, cannot be considered as entirely passed. There is still great dissatisfaction bath at the north and south with regard to what are called "The compromise measures," adopted by Congress at its late session. We hope and believe that the great body of people in every part of the Union are disposed to acquiesce in those measures, and to carry them faithfully into effect. Still the agitation continues. At the South there is in the minds of many, a sense of injustice and of insecurity; and at the North not a few have conscientious objections to one at least of the peace measures above alluded to. This difficulty is not to be obviated by mutual criminations. The South will not be pacified by calling their demands for what they deem justice, treasonable; nor the North by anouncing their opposition to the fugitive slave bill, as fanaticism. Both parties must be satisfied. The one must be shown that no injustice is i designed or impending; and the other must be convinced i that they can with a good conscience submit to the law for the delivery of fugitive slaves.
