Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mr. Clay's Speech, at the Dinner at Noble's Inn, Near Lexington, July 12, 1827 The extraordinary ground has been taken, that the accusers were not bound to establish by proof the guilt of their designated victim. In a civilized, christian and free community, the monstrous princi ple has been assumed, that accusation and conviction are synony mous and that the persons who deliberately bring forward an atro cions charge, are exempted from all obligations to substantiate it! And the pretext is, that the crime, being of a political nature, is shrouded in darkness, and incapable of being substantiated. But is there any real difference, in this respect, between political and other offences? Do not all perpetrators of crime endeavour to conceal their guilt, and to elude detection? If the accuser of a political offence is absolved from the duty of supporting his accusation, every other accuser of offence stands equally absolved. Such a principle. Practically carried into society, would subvert all harmony, peace and tranquillity. None - no age, nor sex, nor profession, nor call. Ing, would be safe against its baleful and overwhelming in uence. It would amount to an universal license to universal calumny! No one has ever contended, that the proof should be exclusive ly that of eye-witnesses, testifying from their senses positively and directly to the fact. Political, like all other offences, may be es tablished by circumstantial as well as positive evidence. But I do Contend, that some evidence, be it what it may, ought to be exhibit ed. If there be none, how do the accusers know that an offence has been perpetrated? If they do know it, let us have the facts on which their conviction is based. Will not even assert that, in public affairs, a citizen has not a right, freely to express his Opin ions of public men, and to speculate upon the motives of their con duct - But if he chooses to promulgate opinions, let them be given as opinions. The public will correctly judge of their value and their grounds. No one has a right to put forth the positive asser tion, that a political offence has been committed, unless he stands prepared to sustain, by satisfactory proof of some kind, its actual existence.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Clay, of Kentucky, on the Measures of Compromise: Delivered in the Senate of the United States, July 22, 1850 Mr. Clay. I am pretty sure the honorable Senator is mistaken, and that it will be found so upon looking at the bill. He speaks of resolutions. I put it to the candor of the Senate, why the honorable Senator should go back to the resolutions offered by me in the beginning of the session. The question is not with regard to them, or whether they be compatible or not with the measures reported by the committee, but in respect to the bill, which differs in several important particulars from my resolutions. The committee presented such measures as were agreeable to them and with respect to the abolition of the slave trade in the District of Columbia, it was their intention simply to revive the law of Maryland, and to provide for the case of the introduction of slaves into the District as merchandise. Mr. Hunter. The Senator will pardon me. When I used the word resolu tions I meant the bill, and I find, on examination, that the bill is as I have stated.

And the law, proceeding upon the established principle that the Secretary of the Treasury, in all that concerns the public purse, acts as the direct agent of Congress, requires, in the event of his or dering or directing a removal of the deposites, that he shall immediately lay his reasons therefor before whom? The President? No; before Congress. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Speeches of Henry Clay, Vol. 2 Whilst we thus behold the entire failure of all that was foretold against the system, it is a subject of just felicitation to its friends, that all their anticipations of its benefits have been fulfilled, or are in progress of fulfilment. The honorable gentleman from South Carolina has made an allusion to a speech made by me, in 1824, in the other house, in support of the tariff, and to which, otherwise, I should not have particularly referred. But I would ask any one, who can now command the courage to peruse that long produc tion, what principle there laid down is not true?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Henry Clay, at the Lexington Mass Meeting, 13th November, 1847: Together With the Resolutions Adopted on That OccasionI conclude, therefore, Mr. President and fellow-citizens, with entire confidence, that Congress has the right, either at the beginning, or during the prosecution of any War, to decide the objects and purposes for which it was proclaimed, or for which itought to be continued. Duty of Congress by some deliberate and authentic act, to (d e present War shall be longer prose outed. I suppose the, sitate to regulate his conduct by the pronounced will of Congress, and to employ the force and the diplomatic power of the nation to execute that will. But, if the President should decline or refuse to do so, and, in contempt 'of the supreme authority of Congress, should persevere in waging the War, for other objects than those proclaimed by Congress, then it would be the imperative duty of that body to vindicate its authority by the most stringent and effectual, and appropriate measures. And, if on the contrary, the enemy should refuse to conclude a treaty, containing stipulations securing the objects designated b y Congress, it would become the duty of the whole Government to prosecute the War with all the national energy, until those objects were attained by a treaty of peace. There can be no insuperable difficulty in Congress making such an authoritative declaration. Let it resolve, simply, that the War shall or shall not be a War of con-1 quest; and, if a War of Conquest, what is to be' conquered. Should a resolution p'ass, disclaiming the design of Conquest, peace would follow in less than sixty days, if the President would conform to his constitutional duty.Here, fellow-citizens, I might pause, having indicated a mode by which the nation, through its accredited and legitimate representatives in Congress, can announce for: what purposes and objects this War shall be longer prosecuted, and can thus let the whole people of the United States know for what end their blood is to be farther shed, and their treasure farther expended, instead of the knowledge of it being locked up and concealed in the bosom of one man. We should no longer perceive the obs jects of the War varying, from time to time, according to the changing opinions of the Chief Magistrate charged with its prosecution. But I do not think it right to stop here. It is the privilege of the people, in their primary assemblies, and of every private man, however humble, to express an Opinion in regard to the purposes for. Which the War should be continued; and such an expression will receive just so much consideration and consequence as it is entitled to, and no more.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Henry Clay, of the Congress of the United States It was the doctrine of thrones, that man was too ignorant to gov ern himself. Their partisans assert his incapacity in reference to all nations; if they cannot command universal assent to the proposition, it is then demanded as to particular nations; and our pride and our presumption too often make converts of us. Mr. Clay contended that it was to arraign the dispositions of Provi dence himself, to suppose that he had created beings incapable of governing themselves, and to be trampled on by kings. He contended that self government was the natural government of man, and he referred to the aborigines of our own land. If he were to speculate in hypotheses unfavorable to human liberty, his should be founded rather upon the vices, refinements, or density of population. Crowded together in compact masses, even if they were philosophers, the contagion of the passions is communicated and caught, and the effect too often, he admitted, was the overthrow of liberty. Dispersed over such an immense space as that on which the people of Spanish America were spread, their physical, and he believed also their moral condition, both favored their liberty.
