Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speech of Horace Mann, of Massachusetts, on the Subject of Slavery in the Territories, and the Consequences of a Dissolution of the Union: Delivered in the United States House of Representatives, February 15, 1850 Mr. Chairman: Ever since the organization of this House - before its organization, and even in a preliminary cause that preceded the cause, not only of human slavery, but of slavery-extension, upon us. From motives of forbearance, and not from any question as to our rights, we of the North have maintained an unbroken silence. The time has surely come when the voice of freedom should find an utterance. Would to God that on the present occasion it might find an abler defender than myself, although if my ability to defend it were equal to the love I bear it, it could ask no abler champion. I wish to premise a few words respecting the propriety and true significance of some of the epithets by which the parties to this discussion are characterized. The term "Free Soiler" is perpectually used upon this floor as a term of ignominy and reproach: yet, I maintain that in its original and legitimate sense, as denoting an advocate of the doctrine that all our territorial possesions should be conscerated to freedom, there is no language that can supply a more honorable application.
