Description:Excerpt from Speeches: Of Hon. Lawrence O'b Branch, of North Carolina; On the President's Message; Delivers in the House of Representatives, December 18, 1856Hence a most significant fact, to which I Would call the, attention of my friends who so much fear the action of, the early settlers. It is this: that every Territory which has been left free to select its own institutions, has established or permitted slavery. And the Territories northwest of the Ohio, over which the ordinance of 1787 extended, petitioned Congress for the repeal of the anti-sla very clause of the ordinance, protesting against it as retarding the improvement and settlement of the country, and vainly clamored for the priv ilege of havmg slaves. California presents no exception to the remark. There asnap judgment was talten against the institution at a time when the expense of transporting a slave was so great as to preclude the possibility of introducin labor ing men much less families, through whic alone the institution could be planted. And besides, California cannot be said to have been free to' se lect its institutions; for, as Congress was then constituted, it was well known that its admission into the Union would be Opposed, retarded, and probably altogether defeate on that ground, if its constitution did not prohibit slavery. And there is reason to believe that the anxiety of the people for immediate admission into' the Union, and the well-known sentiments then prevailing in Congress, constrained them to fore o the advant ages of an institution which won] do so much to develop her mineral and agricultural resources.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
