Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mr. Soulé´s Speech, at Opelousas, Louisiana: Delivered on the 6th of September 1851 The acclamations that welcome me to these hustings, speak out, if I mistake them not, your anxiety to hear, that you may fairly judge of them, the opinions of one whose course, in the Councils of the Nation, has been animadverted upon, in certain portions of the State, by designing political opponents and by reckless party defamers, as being not only dangerous, but actually hostile to your peace, to your dignity and to your interests. Those opinions, it can no more be my desire than it is in my power to conceal from you. They belong to the history of the country: they were formed upon deep and solemn deliberation; they had and still retain the sanction of my best judgment, and are spread out, accessible to all, upon the leaves of that truthful and impressive journal, where, for grave and weighty reasons, no doubt, the opinions and acts of your public men are faithfully registered and preserved. Most readily therefore shall I make them the theme of my discourse to you and plead in their vindication the cause to which they owe their origin, and indeed all their importance. It is a cause in which we have all an equal stake, Whigs as well as Democrats; - a cause involving in its issues not only our rank and condition in the great Confederacy which holds the American States together, but the very existence of that Confederacy itself, and, to some extent, the destinies of a whole world. Such a cause we should approach in a proper spirit. I shall address myself to it, with a mind unbiassed, either by party feelings or by considerations of private concernment. Let me hope that I shall find in this audience neither impatient nor prejudiced hearers, but that, on the contrary, I shall be listened to with considerate and uninterrupted attention.
