375. The Crittenden Compromise Plan. 375．科里滕登折中计划
Many men hoped that even now secession might be stopped by some compromise. 许多人希望到了这个地步还可以通过妥协来阻止退出联邦的行为。
President Buchanan suggested an amendment 1 to the Constitution, securing slavery in the states and territories. 总统布坎南提议修正《宪法》，在一些州和地方保留奴隶制，
It was unlikely that the Republicans would agree to this suggestion. 共和党不可能接受这个建议，
The most hopeful plan was brought forward in Congress by Senator Crittenden of Kentucky. 来自肯塔基州的参议员科里滕登在国会中提出了一个最有希望的计划，
He proposed that amendments 2 to the Constitution should be adopted: 他提出，应该通过对《宪法》做如下修正：
(1) to carry out the principle of the Missouri Compromise; （1）执行《密苏里折中》的条款，
(2) to provide that states should be free or slave as their people should determine; （2）规定各个州根据其人民的意愿来确定为自由州还是蓄奴州，
and (3) to pay the slave owners the value of runaway 3 slaves. （3）赔偿奴隶拥有者因为奴隶逃跑而带来的损失。
This plan was carefully considered by Congress, and was finally rejected only two days before Lincoln's inauguration 4. 国会认真考虑了这个计划，但最终在林肯宣誓就职的前两天拒绝了这个计划。
