Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Proceedings of the Union Meeting, Held at Castle Garden, October 30, 1850 On Wednesday evening, Oct. 30, Castle Garden, in its vast area and spacious galleries, was thronged by an immense multitude, from whom went up but one voice, - the Union, - the Union as it is, - The Union with all the obligations of the Constitution. The resolutions and all the speakers approved of the Compromise Bills, as passed by Congress, and denounced a re-opening of the slavery agitation. All the speakers touched upon the Fugitive Slave Law excitement, and upon the constitutionality and principles of the law, and all declared it the duty of the North and the whole country, to obey it in good faith, to which thousands and thousands of voices responded in hearty approbation. Ten thousand men in arms, we venture to say, from this demonstration, can be summoned any twenty-four hours to enforce that law, if the United States Marshal so requests of the civil authorities. In New-York that law will be obeyed as readily as any other law on the Statute Book, whether it is liked or not. Three of the speakers were Whigs and three were Democrats, and their speeches were able, eloquent, and to the point, each commanding a lively attention. There were some things said which some men may or may not approve, but the Union spirit that every speaker breathed, - the higher devotion placed upon Union than upon any Party - no patriotic man can but approve. The President of the meeting was George Wood, Esq., one of the luminaries of our Bar, and foremost among the foremost in its ranks. The speakers were among our ablest lawyers. Mr. Gerard, in his peculiar but captivating eloquence, chained the attention of the auditory. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
