Event Details
A meeting has been called in New York to ratify the Compromise, with several New York papers commending the movement as highly important to the South and the Union. The disposition in many parts of the North to resist enforcing recent acts of Congress is detrimental and could lead to serious consequences. Observance of law is essential for the Union's safety and peace; without it, disunion may follow. Optimism is expressed that the North will recognize its error and that resistance is not as common as supposed, with noise from a few misrepresenting public mind.
