184837646Washington D.C.: J. & G.S. Gideon printers 1848. First edition. Removed. A very good unopened uncut and intrimmed copy with a mail fold. 14 pp. 8vo. Against Oregon admittance over the slavery issue: "The position I shall assume and attempt to maintain is that Congress has no power to organize what is called a territorial government by ordinance or otherwise; nor has Congress the power to pass laws for the people of the territories of the United States.The speech of the honorable member from Ohio Mr. Root delivered on the 15th of the present month. That speech breathes nothing but hostility to Southern institutions. It was uttered in a tone of defiance and in such language of menace as left the impression that the honorable speaker thought that empty threats were quite sufficient to intimidate what he was pleased to call “Southern chivalry.What does the gentleman from Ohio mean by this haughty and vainglorious boasting Does he think that the South are to be frightened from their duty to their country and themselves by these empty menaces The proposition to exclude slave labor from the territories of the United States is a proposition to degrade the slave States—to render them inferior to the free States."<br /> <br /> John Gayle 1792-1859 "was Alabama's seventh governor and also served as a U.S. congressman state legislator and jurist. Gayle was a fervent champion of states' rights and his advocacy laid the foundation for that movement in Alabama in the 1850s and for the realignment of state political parties."

He became a Methodist minister in England in 1849. Emigrating to The United States in the following year he found employment as a hammer maker in Pennsylvania and soon began preaching on Sundays while still employed at the factory. His earnest rugged simple style of oratory won him great popularity but his advocacy for the antislavery cause then frowned upon by the Methodist authorities aroused opposition. He was tried for heresy and his license was revoked. Continuing as an independent preacher he joined the Unitarian Church in 1859. In 1860 he organized and became pastor of the Unity Church the second Unitarian Church in Chicago. The church grew to become one of the strongest Unitarian churches in the West and Collyer was regarded as one of the foremost pulpit orators in the country. He left Chicago in 1879 and became pastor of the Church of the Messiah now renamed the Community Church in New York City. In 1883 he was a featured speaker at the convention of the American Woman Suffrage Association where he spoke movingly about his deceased wife and their struggles over "the woman question".
