Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Henry Clay, Vol. 8 of 10: Comprising His Life, Correspondence and Speeches IT will be seen that the great speech delivered by Mr. Clay, February 5th and 6th, 1850, on his Resolutions of Compromise, is given in the Appendix of the third volume of this work, en titled the Last Seven Years of Mr. Clay's Life. There are also some brief extracts, in the Appendix to that volume, of Mr. Clay's speeches on the Compromises of 1850. But the last part of this volume, beginning on page 391, contains all the most important speeches of Mr. Clay in the Thirty-first Con gress, with the exception of that of the 5th and 6th of Feb ruary, 1850. As the editor found occasion to interweave numerous notes between speeches and parts of speeches, de livered in the Thirty-first Congress, the introductions to these speeches are more brief, their place being supplied by the notes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Henry Clay, Vol. 7 of 10: Comprising His Life, Correspondence, and Speeches; And a History of Tariff Legislation, 1812-1896 Had I voted for General Jackson, in opposition to the well-known opin ions which I entertained Of him, one tenth part of the ingenuity and zeal which have been employed to excite prejudices against me, would have held me up to universal contempt; and what would have been worse, I should have felt that I really deserved it. Before the election, an attempt was made by an abusive letter, published in the Columbian Observer, at Philadelphia, a paper which, as has since transpired, was sustained by Mr. Senator Eaton, the colleague, the friend, and the biographer of General Jackson, to assail my motives, and to deter me in the exercise of my duty. This letter being avowed by Mr. George Kremer, I instantly demanded from the House of Representatives an invest igation. A committee was accordingly, on the 5th day of February, 1825, appointed in the rare mode of balloting by the House, instead of by se lection of the Speaker. It was composed of some of the leading members of that body, not one of whom was my political friend in the preceding presidential canvass. Although Mr. Kremer, in addressing the House, had declared his willingness to bring forward his proofs, and his readiness to abide the issue of the inquiry, his fears, or other counsels than his own, prevailed upon him to take refuge in a miserable subterfuge. Of all possi ble periods, that was the most fitting to substantiate the charge, if it were true. Every circumstance was then fresh; the witnesses all living and present; the election not yet complete; and therefore the imputed corrupt bargain not fulfilled. All these powerful considerations had no weight with the conspirators and their accessories, and they meanly shrunk from even an attempt to prove their charge, for the best of all possible reasons because, being false and fabricated, they could adduce no proof which was not false and fabricated. During two years and a half, which have now intervened, a portion of the press devoted to the cause of General Jackson has been teeming with the Vilest calumnies against me, and the charge, under every chameleon form, has been a thousand times repeated. Up to this time I have in vain invited investigation, and demanded evidence. None, not a particle, has been adduced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Henry Clay, Vol. 5 of 10: Comprising His Life, Correspondence and Speeches MY dear sir, - I received your two last favors, and Should have written to you before and oftener, but that I really have had nothing interesting to communicate. As to politics, we have no past, no future. After forty-four years of existence um der the present Constitution, what single principle is fixed The Bank? No. Internal Improvements? No. The Tariff? No. Who is to interpret the Constitution? We are as much a oat at sea as the day when the Constitution went into Opera tion. There is nothing certain but that the will of Andrew Jackson is to govern; and that will uctuates with the change of every pen which gives expression to it. As to the Tariff, now pending before the House, whether it will pass or no in that body depends upon his command. I have been thinking of some settlement of that question, but I have not entirely matured any plan; and if I had, I am not satisfied that it would be expedient to offer it. Any plan that I might offer would be instantly opposed, because I offered it. Sometimes I have thought that, considering how I have been and still am treated by both parties (the Tariff and the Anti I would leave them to fight it out as well as they can. The lingering hopes for my country prevail over these feelings of a just resentment, and my judgment tells me, that disregard ing them, I ought to the last to endeavor to do what I can to preserve its institutions and re-establish confidence and concord. I Shall act in conformity with this judgment, but I am far from being sanguine that I have the power to effect any thing. You will have seen the late Message. It is able and elaborate, freer from passion than the proclamation, but not more compati ble with the doctrines which prevail at Richmond.

Download or read book At the Edge of the Precipice written by Robert V. Remini and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1850, America hovered on the brink of disunion. Tensions between slave-holders and abolitionists mounted, as the debate over slavery grew rancorous. An influx of new territory prompted Northern politicians to demand that new states remain free; in response, Southerners baldly threatened to secede from the Union. Only Henry Clay could keep the nation together. At the Edge of the Precipice is historian Robert V. Remini's fascinating recounting of the Compromise of 1850, a titanic act of political will that only a skillful statesman like Clay could broker. Although the Compromise would collapse ten years later, plunging the nation into civil war, Clay's victory in 1850 ultimately saved the Union by giving the North an extra decade to industrialize and prepare. A masterful narrative by an eminent historian, At the Edge of the Precipice also offers a timely reminder of the importance of bipartisanship in a bellicose age.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anti-Rent movement impelled the state's governors, legislators, and judges to abolish an archaic form of land tenure at the root of the violent rent strike. Blending legal and political history, this book chronicles the largest tenant rebellion in US history. Instead of treating law and politics as dependent variables, this work highlights the ways in which law and politics shaped both the pattern of Anti- Rent violence and the drive for land reform. It explores the changing structure of legal doctrine that constrained political actors, and the effects of legal and political discourse on the strategies of the activists and their landlord antagonists. McCurdy teaches history and law at the University of Virginia. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
