About this Item
16pp, stitched, light toning and wear, else Very Good. A perceptive review of the South's predicament: the North's growing strength is producing a Free-State majority in the House of Representatives. The South's only hope is to maintain equality in the Senate by creating more slave states; and the only way to accomplish that is to place the issue of slavery in the territories "beyond the power of Congress." With the South's strength waning in every respect relative to the North's, "is it not infatuated folly in the South to alienate the feelings and rouse the indignation of its powerful neighbor, by Kanzas invasions, and burnings, and slaughter; by tampering with weak Presidents.; by Brooks assaults in the Senate House; by threats and insults and violence; by avowed violations of law, and the rights secured by law?" FIRST EDITION. Dary 25. Dumond 52. Rader 1396. Sabin 24456. Seller Inventory # 28857
