Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Horace Mann, of Massachusetts, on the Subject of Slavery in the Territories, and the Consequences of a Dissolution of the Union: Delivered in the United States House of Representatives, February 15, 1850 And again; those of us at the North who resist slavery extension, who mean to withstand its spread beyond the limits where it now exists, are denounced as Abolitionists. This epithet is applied to us as a term of reproach and obloquy as a brand and stigma upon our characters and principles. No distinction is made between those few individuals among us who desire to abolish the Constitution of the United States, and that great body of the people, who, while their allegiance to this Constitution is unshaken, mean also to maintain their allegiance to truth and to duty, in withstanding the hitherto onward march of slavery. Among the latter class, Mr. Collamer, the Postmaster General, is called an Abolitionist. Mr. John Quincy Adams was denounced as an arch abolitionist. Every man who advocates the Jefferson proviso, against the spread of slavery, is so called; and if an unspeakable abhorrence of this institution, and the belief that it is the second greatest enormity which the oppressor, in his power, ever committed against the oppressed, in his weakness, being inferior only to that ecclesiastical domination which has trampled upon the religious freedom of man, I say, if this abhorrence of slavery, and this belief in its criminality, entitle a man to be denominated an Abolitionist, then I rejoice in my unquestionable right to the name.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Horace Mann, of Mass., On the Subject of Slavery in the Territories, and the Consequences of the Threatened Dissolution of the Union: Delivered in the House of Representatives, February 15, 1850 Now, I admit this principle in its fullest extent and without hesitation. That country is equally free to all the peo le of the United States. The government can sel the lands not alread covered by valid titles; and any citizen who wil compl with its terms can buy them. The people of each of the United States can go there and establish their domicil. The laws of Congress make no dis crimination between them. The Constitution makes no such discrimination. The law of nature and of nations makes none. The North has no privilege over the South, and the South has none over the North. If the North has any greater right there than the South, the equality is destroyed. If the South has any greater right there than the North, the equality is equally destroyed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Slavery in the Territories: Speech of Mr. Jenkins, of New York, on the Mexican Treaty; Delivered in the House of Representatives, February 17, 1849 I am aware that this subject is not agreeable to many for whom I have a high respect. I can make allowance for difference in education, and doubt not the fre quent exercise of humanity in the master. I am not called Upon to speak of slavery in the States where it now exists; when those States came into the Union, no power over the subject was reserved to the General Government, and hence this power belongs to such States exclusively. But in discussing the expediency and the right Of extending this institution into free territory, it would he unpardon able in a legislator to shut his eyes against any thing legitimately bearing on the question. The charge, that the agitation of this subject tends to affect slave property in the Southern States is true to a certain extent. It is like the influence produced bygjhe emancipation of our own country from the thraldom of Great Britain upon shveral nations in Europe. So will the policy pursued by our Government in te gard to these newly acquired Territories, produce some moral effect upon the slave holding States themselves. Even the emancipation Of the slaves in the Northern States must have produced some influence in the South. I am not surprised that the emancipation of slaves by Mexico, the South American Republics, England, and Denmark, should press somewhat upon the Southern States, and produce a restiveness occasioned by the spread of principles hostile to this institution. This progress of freedom to the slave illy prepared the mind of the slaveholder for the intelligence that republican France, among her first legislative enactments, ex tended to her slaves the same liberty which she had won for her own citizens; and ratified the deed by inserting in her Constitution the short but comprehensive and memorable article, that slavery cannot exist in any territory belonging to France. Though this general progress of liberty may produce some effect in the South, it is demanding too much that all that the world is doing for liberal princi ples should stop on that account. Can the South ask more than the pledge, that slavery in the States where it now is, shall not be interfered with.

Book excerpt: Webster's Seventh of March Speech and the Secession Movement, 1850 By Herbert Darling Foster I. During the session of Congress of 1849-1850, the peace of the Union was threatened by problems centering around slavery and the territory acquired as a result of the Mexican War: California's demand for admission with a constitution prohibiting slavery; the Wilmot Proviso excluding slavery from the rest of the Mexican acquisitions (Utah and New Mexico); the boundary dispute between Texas and New Mexico; the abolition of slave trade in the District of Columbia; and an effective fugitive slave law to replace that of 1793. The evidence for the steadily growing danger of secession until March, 1850, is no longer to be sought in Congressional speeches, but rather in the private letters of those men, Northern and Southern, who were the shrewdest political advisers of the South, and in the official acts of representative bodies of Southerners in local or state meetings, state legislatures, and the Nashville Convention. Even after the compromise was accepted in the South and the secessionists defeated in 1850-1851, the Southern states generally adopted the Georgia platform or its equivalent declaring that the Wilmot Proviso or the repeal of the fugitive-slave law would lead the South to "resist even (as a last resort) to a disruption of every tie which binds her to the Union." Southern disunion sentiment was not sporadic or a party matter; it was endemic. The disunion sentiment in the North was not general; but Garrison, publicly proclaiming "I am an abolitionist and therefore for the dissolution of the Union," and his followers who pronounced "the Constitution a covenant with death and an agreement with hell," exercised a twofold effect far in excess of their numbers. In the North, abolitionists aroused bitter antagonism to slavery; in the South they strengthened the conviction of the lawfulness of slavery and the desirability of secession in preference to abolition. "The abolition question must soon divide us," a South Carolinian wrote his former principal in Vermont. "We are beginning to look upon it [disunion] as a relief from incessant insult. I have been myself surprised at the unusual prevalence and depth of this feeling." "The abolition movement," as Houston has pointed out, "prevented any considerable abatement of feeling, and added volume to the current which was to sweep the State out of the Union in 1860." South Carolina's ex-governor, Hammond, wrote Calhoun in December, 1849, "the conduct of the abolitionists in congress is daily giving it [disunion] powerful aid." "The sooner we can get rid of it [the union] the better." The conclusion of both Blair of Kentucky and Winthrop of Massachusetts, that "Calhoun and his instruments are really solicitous to break up the Union," was warranted by Calhoun's own statement.
