President's reply on Holt as War Secretary and union crisis
In Washington January 16 the Senate and House debated the Adams-style response to secession. The president replied to a resolution on Holt's appointment as Secretary of War with legal justifications. Senate moved to study general state admission and redrawing California, Minnesota and Oregon limits while delaying rail bills. Messages from various members urged unity, with many speakers warning of war if disunion proceeds and calling for strong action to preserve the Union. The House considered army appropriations as Garnett attacked Republicans and urged preservation of the Union amid secessionist pressure. The session adjourned after divisions over how to proceed on Crittenden resolutions and the Pacific Railroad bill.
