THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. But if the action — or rather, the non-action — of Congress justified the attitude and conduct of the administration in those days of doubt, how immeasm-ably more was it the reflection of and backed by the overwhelming voice of the people, all over the North, and manifested in so many and various forms? While the venerable Crittenden v/as so strenuously urging upon Congress the adoption of his compromise measures, the country waited patiently to see if Mr. Seward — dest...ined to sit at Mr. Lincoln's right hand — was to unite the genius of Clay for compromise with the enthusiasm of Webster for the Union. The radical Republicans of the North, and the fire-eating Secessionists of the South, were alike disappoint- ed, and no authoritative voice from the new administration commanded attention or follovsing. John Sherman says: "At this time the public mind in the North was decidedly in favor of concessions to the South. The Democrats of the North vv^ould have agreed to any proposition to secure peace and the Union, and the Republicans would have acquiesced in the Crittenden compromise or in any measure approved by Lincoln and Seward.
