Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mr. Scott´s Speech on the Missouri Question, in the House of Representatives of the United States Mr. Scott said - it had been erroneously stated, that Misscui demanded that which she ought more modestly to sue for as a matter of special grace and favour. In the remarks which he should now have the honour to submit on the subject, he did not wish to be again misunderstood by the honourable gentleman from New-York, (Mr. Taylor.) or any other quarter. Mr. Scott did not sound the tocsin of alarm - he did not heat up for volunteers in rebellion against the constituted authorities of his country - but he should degrade, counteract, and even misrepresent, the wishes of the people of Missouri, was he to press their claim for admission into the Union, by obsequious supplications, and prayers suited alone to the taste and palates of sycophants, or of tyrants. Sir, said Mr. Scott, Missouri asks, in the true American character of moderation and firmness, your assistance to organize her State Government, as preparatory to her admission into the Union. She did not sink herself beneath notice, by an affectation of inferiority, meekness, dependence, and submission, which she did not feel, nor did she by any rash declarations, or warlike attitudes, authorize the ungenerous insinuations, that there was in that people a moral unfitness for self-government. There had been no exhibition of such a spirit of boisterous domination, as ought to induce you to shun their company, or to avoid associating with them as a member of the federal family. Missouri presented herself with the Constitution of the United States in one hand, and the treaty of cession in the other, and asked admission into the Union. She exhibited as preliminaries, a long apprenticeship under the guardianship of your laws; a moral capacity and fitness in the people for self-government; a devoted attachment to the Constitution and laws of the land; a firm and fixed republican character; and numbers sufficient to entitle her to two representatives.
