Mr. TUCK:--I ask the unanimous consent of the Conference to introduce a proposition in the form of an address to the people of the United States. I do so after having consulted a considerable number of members; and having found that it meets their approval, I desire to read it, and will then move that it be laid on the table and printed. Mr. RANDOLPH:--Is the gentleman's motion in order? Mr. EWING:--I object to the reading. Mr. CLAY:--Certainly; I object also. Mr. TUCK:--I will acquiesce with a single word. I certainly hoped no curt objection would be made to the reading of _any_ proposition which any member might deem it his duty to offer. As gentlemen differ from me in this respect, I will hand the paper to the Chair. I hope at least it may be permitted to lay on the table. The PRESIDENT:--I hold it the gentleman's undoubted right to read the paper if he chooses. Mr. TUCK:--Very well. He commenced reading when he was interrupted by Mr. WICKLIFFE:--I hope Mr. TUCK will withdraw this paper. If the Convention agrees to any result, I shall favor its submission to the people with an address. I will pledge myself to suggest the gentleman's name as one of a committee to prepare the address at the proper time. The PRESIDENT:--The gentleman from New Hampshire has the floor. Mr. TUCK then completed the reading of the paper, as follows: TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES: This Convention of Conference, composed in part of Commissioners appointed in accordance with the legislative action of sundry States, and in part of Commissioners appointed by the Governors of sundry other States, in compliance with an invitation by the General Assembly of Virginia, met in Washington on the 4th of February, 1861. Although constituting a body unknown to the Constitution and laws, yet being delegated for the purpose, and having carefully considered the existing dangers and dissensions, and having brought their proceedings to a close, publish this address, and the accompanying resolutions, as the result of their deliberations. We recognize and deplore the divisions and distractions which now afflict our country, interrupt its prosperity, disturb its peace, and endanger the Union of the States; but we repel the conclusion, that any alienations or dissensions exist which are irreconcilable, which justify attempts at revolution, or which the patriotism and fraternal sentiments of the people, and the interests and honor of the whole nation, will not overcome.
