Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Calhoun Revolution We have the Executive; we have the laws; we have the decisions of the courts and that is a great advance from where we stood ten years ago. In February, 1847, Mr. Calhoun introduced in the Senate a resolution declaring, for the first time, this doctrine, that the Constitution, of its own force, guaranties the right to take slaves into the Territories of the United States; and, at the same time, another resolution denying the power of Congress to inhibit it. Up to that time, very few, among the prominent men at the South, assented to that doctrine. Under his lead, how ever, they have changed their ground, and have changed the ground of the Democratic party, using its organization to force on a revolution in Opinion on this question; and to a very great extent, I confess, they have already succeeded with those who still act with that party.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Calhoun Text Book Why that I cannot tell, said be: But 'twas a famous victory. If the feeling of personal sympathy are called less frequently into play by Mr. Calhoun, it cannot be denied that the deficiency thus created is amply compensated by the interest which the argu ment itself arouses. There is passion it is true, but it is so well trained and kept under, that we observe it like the steam in a well regulated engine, rather in the methodicaland rapid action of the machinery it in uences, than in the wreaths and puffs of vapor which occasionally escape. There are no intervals for us to stop and cheer; there are no resting places by which we can get out for refreshment; but we are carried onward in a line mathemati cally straight to the place of destination. It is in this very freedom from digressions of all kinds that Mr. Calhoun's title to the admi ration of posterity will in a great degree rest; and we have no 'doubt that in future periods, when local illusions and personal re tort have lost their effect, when the reader seeks to trace out not so much the private skirmishes of statesmen themselves, as the gen eral character of the measures about which they struggled - the chaste and beautiful argumentation which distinguished him, will place him on a level with the few great minds who have been able to instruct the reason, without stooping to please the fancy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of John Caldwell Calhoun, Vol. 1 of 2 The following Life of Calhoun was undertaken a number of years ago and has, by the labor it has entailed, shown most convincingly to the writer the vast field that Calhoun covered. During nearly forty years of our earlier existence, there were few subjects of public importance on which he did not take a leading part. Many of these concerned the system of slavery and the protection of the then civilization of our South, but the world of his countrymen would make a great mistake to suppose, as many do, that his work was confined to this one point. In his later years that subject was of controlling importance to him, as to all Americans; but the case was far otherwise during much of his public life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of John Caldwell Calhoun One after another of the remarkable men of our country has gone to the tomb, until the number of the distinguished dead far exceeds that of the living who have become illustrious. The history and fame of the country, and the promise of the latter is its hope and admiration. To portray the character of the one is to excite the emulation of the other; and to depict the virtues of a single individual, may be to scatter the seeds that will germinate, and bud, and blossom, and bring forth similar fruit, in due season. For more than fifty-five years, Mr. Calhoun has been one of the most prominent statesmen in the American Union, and during that long period their history is woven together.

This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John C. Calhoun and the Secession Movement of 1850 It has been truly said that state rights apart from sectionalism have never been a serious hinderance to the progress of national unity; on the other hand sectionalism is by its very nature incipient dis union, as its ultimate goal is political independence for a group of states.ll Prior to the Civil War there were numerous instances of the assertion of state rights. Almost every state in the Union at some time declared its own sovereignty but on other occasions denounced as treasonable similar declarations by other states. Only, however, when the doctrine of state rights has been laid hold of as an effective Shibboleth by some particular section of the country, to give an appearance of legality to its opposition to measures of the federal government, has the doctrine threatened the integrity of the Union.

Cal houn, but his complete identification with two Op posing popular movements - how he helped to form a broad national sentiment, the part he played in the struggle in his state against that sentiment, and his leadership Of the triumphant sectional senti ment. I have shown that, as he was a popular leader, he was dominated by popular forces and that his power lay in his correct interpretation of the will of his people. To study his public life, therefore, is to study the cmof public opinion in the South 'during a momentous period, when it formed into a great movement to resist a greater movement.

To the exclusion of all compromise. Thus, in the case of the Missouri com promise, the north and the south differed on the con stitutional question, whether Congress had the right to prohibit the introduction of slaves, as a condition of admitting a state into the union.

Calhoun: Delivered in the House of Representatives and in the Senate of the United States On the Letter of General Jackson, made in the Senate, while the Bill to limit the sales of the Public Lands was under discussion, July 9th, 1837. Mr. Calhoun said: - I have received, within the last forty-eight hours, a communication from the Chief Magistrate, connected with the bill now before the Senate, of such a nature, that duty to myself, as well as to this body, renders it necessary that I should lay it before the Senate. "Sir: - In the Globe of the 6th inst. I find the report of a speech made by you on the 4th, upon the Land Bill, which contains the following passages, viz.: "'Was it not notorious that the President of the United States himself had been connected with the purchase of the public lands? Yes, the "experiment" (Mr. Calhoun delighted in the word) was the cause of speculation in public lands; and if this bill should not be passed, speculations could not go on, and the price of the public lands must consequently be reduced.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the People of the United States, From the Revolution to the Civil War, Vol. 8 of 8: 1850-1861 The failure of Congress, during the long session of 1848, to set up government in New Mexico and California was followed in the autumn by another outburst of feeling North and South. Citizens in mass meetings, Governors in their messages, legislatures in their resolutions approved or condemned the principle of the Wilmot proviso, and demanded that it should, or should not, be applied to New Mexico and Cali fornis. The new Governor of South Carolina, in his ln augural, hoped that God would avert the doom impending over the country, but, until He did, let it be known that South Carolina would never consent to meet her co-partners in Federal Council save as an equal and a sovereign; let it be known that she counted all danger as nothing in com parison with political degradation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Character of the Hon. John C. Calhoun: With Illustrations, Containing Notices of His Father and Uncles, and Their Brave Conduct During Our Struggle for Independence, in the American Revolutionary War We have in the following pages, in much haste, thrown together many of the most prominent traits and Circumstances which have marked the career of himself and ancestors; and we have endeavored to point out those actions in his life which go to prove him one of the most distinguished of men, the ablest statesman, and the most extraordinary man Of the age in which we live-whose reputation will descend to posterity as that Of a great and good man, when the prejudices and false impressions, cast around him by over zealous Opposition, shall have passed away for ever. It is a circumstance worthy of note, that, among all the present candidates for the Presidency, Mr. Calhoun is the only one whose family were involved or took any active part in the Revolutionary War; while he himself contributed largely to bring about and to sustain the late contest with Great Britain. It may also be noticed, as an interesting fact, that his father served thirty years, and the subject of this sketch thirty-one years, in public life - making a period of sixty-one years for father and son. To maintain the uninterrupted confidence of their constituents for such a length of time, argues a high degree of merit and integrity on the part of both father and son.
