Sivu 22 - The mutual antipathies and clashing interests of the Americans, their differences of governments, habitudes, and manners, indicate that they will have no centre of union and no common interest. They never can be united into one compact empire under any species of government whatever; a disunited people till the end of time, suspicious and distrustful of each other, they will be divided and sub-divided into little commonwealths or principalities, according to natural boundaries, by great bays of the...
Sivu 31 - I have, said he, often and often, in the course of the session, and the vicissitudes of my hopes and fears as to its issue, looked at that behind the President without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting; but now, at length, I have the happiness to know that it is a rising, and not a setting, sun.
Sivu 31 - A nation without a national government is an awful spectacle. The establishment of a constitution in a time of profound peace, by the voluntary consent of a whole people, is a PRODIGY, to the completion of which I look forward with trembling anxiety.
Sivu 28 - Never wandering from his subject into vain declamation, but pursuing it closely, in language pure, classical and copious, soothing always the feelings of his adversaries by civilities and softness of expression...
Sivu 25 - February last can no longer doubt that the Crisis is arrived at which the good People of America are to decide the solemn question whether they will by wise and magnanimous Efforts reap the just fruits of that Independence which they have so gloriously acquired and of that Union which they have cemented with so much of their common Blood, or whether by giving way to unmanly...
Sivu 23 - may spring from delay ; good, from a timely application of a remedy. The present temper of the states is friendly to the establishment of a lasting union ; the moment should be improved : if suffered to pass away, it may never return ; and, after gloriously and successfully contending against the usurpations of Britain, we may fall a prey to our own follies and disputes.
Sivu 17 - States of Kansas and Nebraska, and all that the South was to receive for this so-called concession it had fully obtained. The passage of what is known as the Kansas-Nebraska Bill, in 1854, re-opened and invited a conflict in these Territories as to whether freedom or slavery should be their master. If left to the laws of ordinary emigration, the immediate presence on the border of Kansas of a prosperous and powerful slave State like Missouri would have rendered it certain that she would follow the...
Sivu 22 - Frederick the Great, who might be looked on as a disinterested observer of the conflict between Great Britain and her subjects, said in 1782 that "he was persuaded that the American Union could not long subsist under its present form...
Sivu 24 - Such a government was formed by the convention that one hundred years ago to-day was in session at Philadelphia. While the weakness and defects of the Confederation had been often pointed out ; while the bitter controversies almost ready to break into open war between certain of the States were known ; while the difficulty of maintaining public order (never more conspicuous^ broken than in the Shays...
Sivu 23 - Reluctant as they were to yield up any of the powers which they claimed as independent States, yet if there was to be a national sovereignty, while it might be one of defined and limited powers, it must be supreme within those powers, capable of enforcing its own decrees without resort to any agencies but its own.
