Book excerpt: Excerpt from Resolutions and Address, Adopted by the Southern Convention: Held at Nashville, Tennessee, June 3d to 12th Inclusive, in the Year 1850 Stability of the Union, an effort was made, supported by a large portion of the Northern Representatives, to suppress it by a. Rule in the House of Representatives, which provided, that all petitions on the subject of slavery, should be neither considered, printed, or referred. This rule was assailed by the people of the Northern States, as violating that clause of the Constitution which prohibits Congress from passing laws to prevent the people trom peaceably assembling and petitioning for a redress of grievances. In December, 1844, this rule fell before the almost unanimous voice of the North; and thus the unlimited power ofin troducing and considering the subject of slavery in Congress, was asserted. In the mean time, the course of the Nirthern people showed clea1ly, that the agitation cl slavery in Congress was only one of the means they 1elied on to overthiow this ln stitution throughout the Union. Newspapers were set up amongst them, and lecturers were hired to go abroad to excite them against slavery in the Southern States. Organizations were formed to carry off slaves from the South, and to protect them by violence from recapture. Although the Constitution requires that fugitive slaves, like fugitives fromjustice, should be rendered up by the States to which they may have fled, the legis latores of almost every Northern State, faithless to this treaty stipulation between the States, passed laws designed and calcula ted entirely to defeat this provision of the Constitution, without which the Union would never have existed, and by these laws virtually nullified the act of 1794, passed by Congress to aid its enforcement. Not content with the agitation of slavery in po litical circles, the Northern people forced it also into the re ligious associations extending over the Union, and produced a separation of the Methodist and Baptist churches. The result of all these various methods of assailing slavery in the South ern States, was, that it became the grand topic of interest and discussion in Congress and out of Congress, and one of the most important elements of politics in the Union. Thus an institu tion, belonging to the Southern States exclusively, was wrested from their exclusive control; and instead of that protection which is the great object of all governments, and which the Constitution of the United States guarantees to all the States and their institutions, the Northern States. And Congress un der their control, combined together, to assail and destroy slavery in the South. The Southern States did nothing to vindicate their rights and arrest this course of things.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Hon. Langdon Cheves, in the Southern Convention: At Nashville, Tennessee, November 14, 1850 We meet on a melancholy occasion. It is to devise the means of defending the Southern States against a great and alarming danger, a danger with which we are not threatened by a foreign foe or a common enemy, but by our fellow-citizens, whom fraternal feelings and fidelity to plighted faith; whom gratitude for great benefits which, more than all other causes, have made them great, wealthy and powerful; should have made our hearty friends, and our devoted allies in all adversity. Instead of which, we find them our most unjust oppressors, our bitter and most unappeasable enemies. Having deprived us, practically, of all power under the common government which bound us together, they are aiming at the subversion of our dearest rights, the destruction of our most valuable property, and the desolation of our country. Our inquiry will, of course, be of Southern rights. Southern wrongs, and Southern dangers. The general rights of the Southern States are those of equal, independent, unabridged sovereignties. Our independent sovereignty was asserted from the beginning of the government, and maintained triumphantly, within a few years after the adoption of the Constitution of the United States. The old federal doctrines, of strong government and constructive powers, were put down. In the South and West, there was but one voice on the subject. Such was the devotion to State independence; such the generous spirit of the people of the South and West, as expressed in the resolutions of Virginia and Kentucky, in 1798;that, had not the dangers then contemplated, though not amounting to a tithe of those by which we are now threatened, been averted at the polls, they would have been met by force. The base idea, of taking "the best we could get," entered into no mind. The only questions were, what were our rights, our whole and unabridged rights, and how should they be maintained. The universal public scorn would have scathed, with the power of the vivid lightning, the dastard who would consent to accept compromises, or talk of taking a fragment of those rights, as "the best we could get." Who would then have dared to propose submission to our equals? Who would then have been mean enough even to deliberate on such degradation? But the noble spirit of that day seems to be extinguished; and, unless it can be roused, you are destined to become "the basest, meanest of mankind." You will suffer the most conspicuous infamy that ever characterized a people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Webster's Seventh of March Speech and the Secession Movement, 1850 A Philadelphia editor who went to \vashington to learn the real sentiments of the Southern members, reported February I, that if the \vilmot Proviso were not given up, ample provision made for fugitive slaves and avoidance of interference with slavery in the Dis trict of Columbia, the South would secede, though this was not gen erally believed in the North.

This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Webster's Seventh of March Speech and the Secession Movement, 1850 by Herbert Darling Foster 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. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
