1850315820Washington D.C. 1850. 1 page. 12mo. Fine condition. 1 page. 12mo. Opposing the Fugitive Slave Act. Horace Man 1796-1859 writes a scathing condemnation of the Fugitive Slave Act which Congress passed on 12 September 1850 in spite of Mann's vote against it: "The intellect of the world must grow stronger and its heart must grow purer before the former can adequately comprehend or the latter appropriately feel the moral turpitude of the Bill which the House of Representatives has this day passed nominally for reclaiming slavery but really for perilling the liberties of freemen." <br/>One of the most notorious bills in U.S. history the so called Fugitive Slave Act required the cooperation of law enforcement officials and citizens of free states in returning escaped slaves to their masters. The bill was the most explosive element of the Compromise of 1850 which sought and ultimately failed to preserve the Union.<br/><br/>"By placing himself in opposition to Henry Clay's Compromise of 1850 Mann alienated many in the Whig party none more than Senator Daniel Webster whose support of the compromise floored Mann. Forced out of the Whig party by Webster's supporters Mann sought vindication under the banner of the Free Soil party in 1850. Narrowly reelected he was unable to mount an effort to repeal the odious fugitive slave law of 1851; the following year he failed to win the Massachusetts governorship as the Free Soil candidate" ANB. unknown books

Cameron Mann 1851 - 1932 was an author Episcopal priest the Third Bishop of North Dakota and the First Bishop of South Florida. The Theta Delta Chi Society was founded as a social fraternity in 1847 at Union College New York. Byy the last quarter of the 19th century the society spread rapidly adding charges a term used by TDX brothers to refer to their local organizations rather than the more-commonly used "chapters" throughout the entire country including Stanford Berkeley Brown Tufts UVA Dartmouth Yale etc. The historical poem related to the Civil War was written and delivered by Mann at the closing of the 27th Annual Convention of Theta Delta Chi at a grand banquet at Delmonico's in New York. The illustrations designed by Franklin Burdge combined typography and beautiful unique wood-engraved illustrations to represent the Greek letters by which the charge was known. According to a "Notice to Graduates" at the end of the booklet the engravings were included "partly in order that by an inspection of the wood cuts inserted they may judge of the character of the new Catalog of the Society and have their attention called to the fact that more subscriptions are needed to print it."
