Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Comments on the Nebraska Bill: With Views on Salvery in Contrast With Freedom, Espectfully Addressed to the Free States Agitation, in 1850, moved all Washington with its threatening evils, and southern politicians exerted every faculty they possessed lo create alarm; and all, and only, because slaves could not be carried, by their masters, to the newly acquired territory from Mexico, to work side by side with freemen, denounced, by Southern members as northern negroes! In loud and angry tones, it was contended that the south was to be robbed of its rights, and would separate from the union. It did, however, happen, that California escaped the curse of slavery from polluting its soil, and withering its energies and enterprise, and the union still exists. Yet by the management of Senator Foote, as conservative of Mississippi, and also Senator Jefferson Davis, of the same state (conservative meaning, the retaining of all old forms, usages and abuses of slavery, and acquiring as many new privileges as the north could be frightened into conceding; secessionist, to withdraw from the union), these two rivals in ambition succeeded by the sympathy of other factious senators in creating some alarm at Washington, and, at all events, a war of big and angry words thundered in the senate. Although feeble in health, John C. Calhoun (yet possessing great influence with the south) gave additional importance to the aspect of affairs.
