Mr. Crittenden moves to take up S. 54. Mr. Green presents a Joint Resolution (S. 59).
Resolved. That, for the purpose of protecting the rights of all the people, and of all the States, so far as devolves upon Federal authority, and to maintain the Union in its purity and excellence—or failing in that, to provide for peaceable separation—it be, and hereby is, recommended to the several Slates to take immediate steps, by conventions or otherwise, and make such propositions to the several States, each to the other, or by conventions of States, as may best conduce to the restoration of harmony consistent with the principles of justice and equality to all.
