Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Soule, of Louisiana, on the Pending Measures of Compromise: Delivered in the Senate of the United States, May 21, 1850 The second comes back with a virtual surrender to Congress of that very power and jurisdiction over slavery in the District which the South have heretofore' resisisted so strenuously, and which there is every reason to believe she will resist to the last for if, under the guise of breaking up as nuisances the public slave marts, (which are mere matters of municipal regulation, ) Congress may prohibit slaves from coming here, and may emancipate them when they do come, (though brought for the honorable purpose oi being sold to pay slaveholders' just debts, ) is it not an obvious assertion of a power to emancipate them, if brought here for any other purpose and no one who admits the power of Congress to legislate against this species of property which may be brought here for the payment of debts, and to convert (without a breach of faith towards the ce ding States) this District into free territory, so far as it relates to slaves brought here for sale by their owners, can reasonably dispute thereafter either the power or breach of good faith involved in making it free territory altogether!

This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Hon. P. Soule of Louisiana, in Reply to Hon. Henry Clay, of Kentucky, on the Measures of Compromise: Delivered in the Senate of the United States, May 23, 1850 It will be remembered that, when the resolutions were first introduced, an ani mated debate sprung up in the Senate, and that they were assailed at all points. Among other criticisms to which they were subjected, it was declared that they had nothing practical about them; that they were mere abstractions. Against this charge the honorable Senator from Kentucky defended them with his usual warmth and eloquence. He maintained that they were not abstractions; that all of them 1n volved principles, and that he designed to have the deliberate vote of the Senate upon each of them. This declaration was highly satisfactory for, in these exciting times, when the South was menaced with being pressed down to the earth under the assaulting hosts of the fanatics, a large and commanding vote of the Senate, assert ing the rights and immunities of slaveholders in the District and m the States to be secure both under the plightings of the public faith and the prohibition of the Federal constitution, would have served two valuable purposes the one in check ing and discouraging the assadants in their mad career, and the other in its tendency to soothe and quiet the South, aroused and inflamed as she was through their menac ing bearing and galling calumnies. It would not, indeed, have been any thing to boast of; yet it would have been something in the way of a plea for further for bearance on her part, to have had assurances, through the solemn votes of both houses of Congress, that while they were stripping the South of her legitimate rights to share in the migration and settlement of Federal Territories, yet that the rights of slaveholders in the District and between the States would remain sacred and inviolable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of the Hon. Solomon W. Downs of Louisiana: On the Resolution Submitted by Mr. Foote, of Mississippi, Declaring the Compromise Measures Mr. Downs said: Mr. President, I had not arrived in this city when the resolution under discussion was introduced, and, if I had been consulted on the subject, I should not have advised such a course. I do not think there is much virtue in abstract resolutions in legislative bodies; I prefer actions to words always; and as Congress has acted on the subjects referred to in the resolution, and has evinced no disposition to change the policy adopted in 1850, but, on the contrary, as it seemed to be sustained by more general approbation, both in and out of Congress, and in all sections of the country, than when first adopted, and has given peace, repose, and safety to the Union, I would not, if the choice had been left to me, have renewed this discussion. However, at it has been renewed without my agency, and has led to a general discussion of the compromise measures, in the course of which arguments and opinions have been advanced, and fact stated, most erroneous and dangerous to the country, and calculated to do injustice to those who are responsible for those measures, I, too, find it my duty to the Senate on me subject. I appear not as the champion of the Compromise - I am willing that it should stand on its own merits - but to defend it from the unjust assaults that have been mule against it. This very discussion has shown that it is stronger in the affections of the people than its best friends had supposed. The clear, frank, and satisfactory manner in which the honorable senator from Pennsylvania [Mr. Brodhead] vindicated his State and the North generally from the charge of obstructing the fugitive-slave law will calm and satisfy the minds of many in other quarters of the Union who have had their misgivings on the subject. This is just what we expected from that gentleman from his previous course in the other end oi the Capitol, and before the people, and from his noble State, now, as she has ever been, literally and truly the keystone in the arch of this our glorious Union. In another way this discussion will do good: it will show that the opposition to the Compromise is much narrower, and embraces fewer individuals than it did in 1850. Who makes war on it now?

Cass ameudraent, designed as a substitute for Mr. Clarkes resolutions: Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That, while the people of the United States sympathize with all nations who are striving to establish free Governments, yet they recognize the great principle of the law of nations which assures to each of them the right to manage its own internal affairs in its own way, and to establish, alter, or abolish its Government at pleasure, without the interference of any other Power; and they have not seen, nor could they again see, without deep concern, the violation of this principle of national independence. Mr. Clarkes last resolution: Resolved, That although we adhere to these essential principles of non-intervention as forming the true and lasting foundation of our prosperity and happiness, yet whenever a provident foresight shall warn us that our own liberties and institutions are threatened, then a just regard to our own safety will require us to advance to the conflict rather than await the approach of the foes of our constitutional freedom and of human libertv.
