18508864Washington: Buell & Blanchard 1850. Disbound. near Very Good binding. Octavo. 8 pp. Removed from volume. Inner margin a bit irregular; horizontal creases from being folded. <br /> <br /> Stevens rails against "Southern gentlemen" who he argues have obstructed the business of Congress by speeches on the subject of slavery. The remedy Another speech on slavery. And no doubt the subject was indeed occupying Congress and the country. In fact the Compromise of 1850 and its Fugitive Slave Act was just months away from passage when Stevens took the floor with this searing speech against the institution of slavery and the Southern legislators who were holding Congress hostage. Stevens cites Mr. Clingman of North Carolina who in Stevens's words "was selected to open the debate in behalf of human bondage distinctly notified us that unless Congress as a condition precedent submitted to settle the Slavery question according to Southern demands there should be no legislation even the passage of the ordinary appropriation bills necessary to sustain the Government." A heated time indeed! Sabin 91565. Buell & Blanchard unknown

The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves promoted by President Thomas Jefferson was passed in 1807 and took effect in 1808.<br /> <br /> From the 1820 letter submitted by the Treasury Department Spain and individuals were responsible for the illegal importation of Slaves into the United States. Secretary of Treasury William Crawford writes "From information recently received by this Department there is just reason to believe that Sir Gregor MacGregor has taken military possession of Amelia Island Florida in the name of the Spanish Patriots" Continued on the same page "In addition to the circumstances already communicated the disposition which has been manifested by the vessels of Spain engaged in the African Slave Trade to introduce illicitly into that section of the Union the persons who in the prosecution of their traffic have been subjected to their control seems to require the presence of a force sufficient to enforce the due execution of the laws against the introduction of slaves into the United States." The Treasury Department recommends "To guard against the unlawful introduction of slaves and to repress any attempt that may be made by the foreign belligerent force collected in that neighborhood to excite domestic insurrection among the blacks it appears to me to be absolutely necessary that a land and naval force be stationed at St. Mary's." <br /> <br /> Soon after this letter was published Florida was ceded to the United States by Spain in 1821. Florida was a territory until 1845. Printed by Gales & Seaton unknown
