1833713Winchester Va. 1833. Broadside 4to. 290 x 160 mm. 11 ¼ x 6 ¼ inches. Printed in two columns signed in type by Charles J. Faulkner at Winchester dated March 8 1833 at conclusion. Lightly dust-soiled pale stain affecting perhaps one-third of the left-hand margin and column of text. Neatly silked on verso. Withal about very good. Following the August 1831 Nat Turner rebellion in Southampton County a last effort was made by moderate Virginians to gradually abolish slavery. Faulkner a 26-year-old lawyer and assemblyman along with Thomas Jefferson Randolph sponsored legislation to free all children born of slave parents after July 4 1840. His speech emphasized the evil of slavery for Southern white labor noting that slavery "converts the energy of the community into indolence--its power into imbecility--its efficiency into weakness.Shall society suffer that the slave-holder may continue to gather his crop of human flesh" As the Assembly was malapportioned in favor of the Tidewater slaveocracy the proposal lost rather narrowly and nearly thirty years later the Confederacy was assured of Virginia's succession. It is perhaps not surprising that Faulkner "comparatively a stranger" to the county but a member of the Virginia House of Delegates at this time 1831-34 was not successful in his campaign to represent Virginia in the U.S. Senate. However Faulkner was elected to three terms in Congress from Virginia in the 1850s. He was elected to Congress from West Virginia after the Civil War. In the interim he served as Minister to France during the Buchanan administration and on the staff of Stonewall Jackson. Dictionary of American Biography. Not in Hummel.

Apparently not recorded on OCLC. Folded long tear through margin into text repaired on verso with old cello-tape. Very good. In the midst of a campaign for election as delegate to the 1850 Virginia Constitutional Convention Faulkner writes: "My name has been placed before you as a candidate of a seat in the approaching Convention of Virginia . here are my opinions on such points as I believe the voter may desire information: . extend the right of suffrage to every male citizen of mature years . in the apportionment of Representation in the General Assembly regard should be had to the white population exclusively three columns of explanation follows . election of the Governor by the people . one constitutional Court abolishing County Courts . officers of the state should be elected not appointed . one of the highest duties of a Republic is to supply every destitute child within its limits the means of a Primary education . I would prohibit the General Assembly from making any loans to or guaranteeing the bonds of incorporated companies. With Faulkner having won election to the convention three of his positions held sway after the voting: the Assembly-appointed Governor's Council was abolished and judges on various state courts would face election by an expanded electorate and property requirements for voting were abolished at several places in the address Faulkner expresses the need to consider the wishes of the residents of Western Virginia as being "as worthy of confidence" as those of Eastern Virginia. Faulkner 1806-1884 a native of Martinsburg Va. won office regularly to Virginia's General Assembly in the 1830s and 1840s advocating emancipation during the early years; he then served in the U.S. House of Representatives 1851-1859. During the Civil War Faulkner served as Assistant Adjutant General to Stonewall Jackson; following the war he was engaged in railroad enterprises and represented West Virginia in the U.S. House of Representatives 1875-1877. <br/><br/> unknown books
