Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speeches and Occasional Addresses, Vol. 1 The Territory on the northwest coast of America, west of the Rocky Mountains, known as Oregon, and long in dispute between the United States and Great Britain, was, by a convention between the two countries, concluded on the 20th October, 1818, made free to the vessels, citizens, and subjects of both, for the period of ten years. This agreement was continued in force and indefinitely extended by the convention of 26th August, 1827. In consequence of collisions between the people of the two countries within the disputed Territory, resolutions were introduced into the Senate, in February, 1846, requiring the President to give notice of the abrogation of the last-mentioned convention, in accordance with one of its stipulations. A portion of the senators were in favor of adjusting the controversy by adopting the 49th parallel of latitude as the boundary, leaving to Great Britain the territory north of it; and the others of insisting on the abandonment by Great Britain of the whole country as far north as 54 40', from which line northward the title of Russia had been acknowledged by both the parties to the pending dispute. Mr. Dix, while asserting the title of the United States to the whole Territory derived from the discoveries and occupation of Spain, was nevertheless in favor of the compromise line of 49, which had been offered to Great Britain in pi-previous negotiations. The question was settled by the adoption of that parallel as the boundary line, under a treaty negotiated by Mr. Louis McLane, and ratified by the Senate at the same session in which the debate took place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Additional Speeches, Vol. 1 of 2: Addresses, and Occasional Sermons These two volumes contain some of the published results of those labors of the last few years. Some of the speeches were purely extemporaneous; for some others I had but the briefest time for composition. All but the opening article of each volume are reprinted from phonographic reports taken by my friends, - whose kindness moves them thus to da guerreotype all my Sunday sermons. The brief speech before the Ministerial Conference I wrote down a few days after its delivery, and have marked with brackets J the words since added: the Thoughts on the Progress of Amer ica, was never delivered, - for the terrible events of that period kept me in the court house during the session of the Convention. If any reader will compare the date of any Sermon or Speech, in these volumes with that of the occa sion thereof, he will see that often very little time was left for the nicety of a work of art. But there was no special reason why the Sermon of Old Age, should have been de livered at the time it was preached, having no reference to any special occasion. I put it at the end of the last vol ume as a fitting termination of the book, as one day it may be of the reader's, or the writer's life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speeches, Addresses, and Occasional Sermons, Vol. 1 of 3 I have collected in these volumes several Speeches, Addresses and occasional Sermons, which I have delivered at various times during the last seven years. Most of them were prepared for some special emergency: only two papers, that on "The Relation of Jesus to his Age and the Ages," and that on "Immortal Life," were written without reference to some such emergency. All of them have been printed before, excepting the sermon "Of General Taylor," and the address on "The American Scholar;" some have been several times reprinted. I do not know that they are worthy of republication in this permanent form, but the leading ideas of these volumes are very dear to me, and are sure to live as long as the human race shall continue. So I have published a small edition, hoping that the truths which I know are contained in these pages will do a service long after the writer, and the-occasion of their utterance, have passed off and been forgot. I offer them to whom they may concern. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speeches and Occasional Addresses, Vol. 2 By this act, it will be perceived that the laws of the States in relation to pilotage were recognized by Congress at its first session after the Constitution was adopted, and that, by refer ring to the future as well as the existing legislation of the States, it designed to place the whole subject prospectively under State regulation. Congress undoubtedly saw that this was one of those cases in which each State would be best capable of judging for itself what regulations the subject would require within its own limits, and that in providing for its own interest, that of the public would be most likely to be secured. From 1789 to 1837 this was the established sys tem in respect to the regulation of all that relates to pilotage. Though the section I have read contemplated the possibility of future legislation by Congress, no further act was passed during a period of forty-eight years. I have not been able to find any other act referring to pilots in any manner, except the act of 1792, establishing a uniform militia, by which they were exempted from militia duty.

Sim ple interest for that time on one-third of a thousand dollars, amounted to two hundred dollars more, making the loss four hun dred dollars. Simple interest upon this sum, for thirty years, exceeds seven hundred dollars, which, added to the four hundred, makes the loss which the holder of paper to the amount of one thousand dollars has suffered, by the mode and time of payment adopted by the Government, to exceed eleven hundred dollars so that the sum which we withheld, out of that which we had solemnly promised in writing, with Simple interest only, is now more than the original amount of the debt.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speeches, Addresses, and Occasional Sermons, Vol. 3 of 3 Mr. President and Fellow Citizens: It is an important occasion which has brought us together. A great crisis has occurred in the affairs of the United States. There is a great question now before the people. In any European country west of Russia and east of Spain, it would produce a revolution, and be settled with gunpowder. It narrowly concerns the material welfare of the nation. The decision that is made will help millions of human beings into life, or will hinder and prevent millions from being born. It will help or hinder the advance of the nation in wealth for a long time to come. It is a question which involves the honor of the people.

Download or read book Mr Chamberlain s Speeches Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Joseph Chamberlain and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mr. Chamberlain's Speeches, Vol. 1 Early this year the publishers of these volumes inquired Whether my father would be willing that they should re produce a selection from his speeches. The idea pleased him, and he was gratified by Mr. Boyd's ready consent to undertake the task of selection and presentation. He accordingly placed at Mr. Boyd's disposal the scrap books in which had been collected the newspaper reports Of his speeches from the beginning to the end of his long public life. The choice made from this vast mass of material is Mr. Boyd's. NO restrictions or conditions of any kind have been imposed upon him. The principle which has guided his selection is explained in his prefatory note. It was to make the collection representative of the full sweep of a long and famous career.' It Will, I think, be found that he has admirably fulfilled this promise. It was my father's Wish that I should prefix a few words of introduction to the collection. The time has not yet come, nor in any case am I the proper person, to measure exactly all he did and all he was, but these speeches will show something of the man, of his character, and Of his achieve ments. He cared little about charges of inconsistency, and no attempt is made here to gloss over any change of thought or method. But I believe with him that through all his years of unceasing growth and widening outlook on men and things there was an underlying consistency Of Spirit and of purpose which gives unity to the whole.
