WEBSTER AND HAYNE’S

CELEBRATED

SPEECHES

IN THE

UNITED STATES SENATE,

ON

MR. FOOT’S RESOLUTION

OF

JANUARY, 1830.

ALSO,

DANIEL WEBSTER’S SPEECH IN THE SENATE OF
THE UNITED STATES, MAY 7, 1850, ON
THE SLAVERY COMPROMISE.

“When my eyes shall be turned to behold, for the last time, the sun in heaven, may I not see him shining on the broken and dishonored fragments of a once glorious Union; on States dissevered, discordant, belligerent; on a land rent with civil feuds, or drenched, it may be, in fraternal blood!” “Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable.”—Daniel Webster.

“We ask nothing of our northern brethren but to ‘let us alone.’ Leave us to the undisturbed management of our domestic concerns, and the direction of our own industry, and we will ask no more.” “Sir, there have existed, in every age and every country, two distinct orders of men—the lovers of freedom, and the devoted advocates of power.”—Colonel Hayne, of S. C.
