The correct answer is John Crittenden.

John Crittenden was a senator from Kentucky who made a last effort to save the Union by introducing a bill to extend the Missouri Compromise line to the Pacific. In addition, he proposed an amendment to the Constitution that would guarantee forever the right to hold slaves in states south of the compromise line.
