Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Tribute to the Memory of David C. Broderick It was winter in the Capital City of the new Republic. The afternoon sun shone dimly. Frosty pictures, in mimic silver, were painted on the window panes. Snow carpeted the streets, and cushioned the pavements, and lay in silence upon the roofs, like the hovering wing of the protecting angel. The year 1819 was drawing to a close. The biting-cold air of December, from the far North-West, was passing by on its journey to the sea. Congress was in session in those Halls that were held to be sacred to liberty. The fathers of the Republic were fast passing away, but their immediate sons had met to legislate for the weal of the nation. James Monroe was then President; Daniel D. Tompkins was President of the Senate, and Henry Clay was Speaker of the Lower House. A question arose for their deliberation - a question of portentous moment, which called for great ability - which wrought up, intensely, the earnestness of the members, and filled the galleries with anxious listeners. That question had been introduced near the close of the last session. It was this: "Shall any more slave States be admitted into this Union?" Jonathan Roberts was there, holding in his hand a set of resolutions passed by the Legislature of Pennsylvania, against the admission of more slave States.
