Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Hon.: Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi, on His Resolutions Relative to the Rights of Property in the Territories, Etc, Delivered in the Senate of the United States, May 7, 1860 Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, said: Mr. President: Among the many blessings for which we are indebted to our ancestry, is that of transmitting to us a written Constitution; a fixed standard to which, in the progress of events, every case may be referred and by which it may be measured. But for this the wise men who formed our Government dared not have hoped for its perpetuity; for they saw floating down the tide of time, wreck after wreck, marking the short life of every Republic which had preceded them. With this, however, to check, to restrain, and to direct their posterity, they might reasonably hope the Government they founded should last forever; that it would secure the great purposes for which it was ordained and established;that it would be the shield of their posterity equally in every part of the-country, and equally in all time to come. It was this which mainly distinguished the formation of our Government from those confederacies or republics which had preceded it; and this is the best foundation for our hope of a perpetuity-to the peace, power, and prosperity our Union has conferred. The resolutions which have been read, and which I had the honor to present to the Senate are little more than the announcement of what I hold to be the clearly expressed declarations of the Constitution itself. To that fixed standard it is sought, at this time, when we are drifting far from the initial point, and when clouds and darkness hover over us, to bring back the Government, and to test our present condition by the rules which our fathers laid down for us in the beginning. The differences which exist between distinct portions of the country, the rivalries and the jealousies of to-day, though differing in degree, are exactly of the nature of those which preceded the formation of the Constitution. Our fathers were aware of the conflicting interests of the navigating and planting States, as they were then regarded. They sought to compose those difficulties, and, by compensating advantages given by one to the other, to form a Government equal and just in its operation; and which, like the gentle showers of heaven, should fall twice blessed, blessing him that gives and him that receives. This beneficial action and reaction between the different interests of the country constituted the bond of union and the motive of its formation. They constitute it still, if we are sufficiently wise to appreciate our interests, and sufficiently faithful to observe our trust. Indeed, with the extension of territory, with the multiplication of interests, with the varieties increasing from time to time of the products of this vast country, the bonds which bind the Union together should have increased. Rationally considered, they have increased, because the free trade which was established by the Union of the States has now become more valuable to the people thus united than their trade with the rest of the world. I do not propose to argue questions of natural rights and inherent powers; I plant my reliance upon the Constitution; that Constitution which we have all sworn to support; that Constitution which, as the civil supreme, we have solemnly pledged ourselves to maintain while we hold the seats we now occupy in the Senate; to which we are bound in its spirit and in its letter, not grudgingly, but willingly, to render our obedience and support; as long as we hold office under the Federal Government; neither in conscience or in conduct can there be for us a higher authority. When the tempter entered the garden of Eden to taint its purity, to blight its peaceful happiness, and induced our common mother to offend against the law which God had given to her through Adam, he was the first teacher of that higher law which sets the wil.
