[129] McPherson’s Political History of the United States during the Great Rebellion, p. 72. [130] This testimony was an evident surprise at the time. The venerable F. P. Blair, of Silver Spring, heard it from the gallery of the Senate, and expressed himself most confidently with regard to its importance and probable influence. But the plot had gone too far. Shortly afterwards the autograph letter was destroyed by the person to whom it was addressed, but not until after it had been photographed in Boston. [131] These two were in the series of January 3, 1861, and according to Mr. Crittenden were “proposed by the honorable Senator from Illinois” (Mr. Douglas), although nothing in the _Congressional Globe_ shows that the propositions of Mr. Douglas offered to the Committee of Thirteen (_ante_, p. 433) were ever before proposed in the Senate. Whatever their origin, they were adopted by Mr. Crittenden, and became part of his Compromise. Of the original copies printed for the Senate only a single copy _containing the important additions_ remains on the files. The propositions in their first form are in the _Globe_, under date of December 18, 1860, p. 114, also in McPherson’s _Political History of the Rebellion_, pp. 64, 65. They do not appear in the _Globe_ on reintroduction with additions, January 3, 1861, p. 237, but the first addition is found at a later date, March 2, 1861, p. 1368, when they were voted on. Nor do the additions appear in McPherson’s History. It is proper that the disfranchisement of the colored race, where already voters, should not be forgotten as one of the terms of this sacrifice.
