On Slavery... I Choose Not To Comment !
February 8, 1854, Mr. Everett of Massachusetts' Speech, "ON THE NEBRASKA AND KANSAS TERRITORIAL BILL," published by the Congressional Globe Office, Washington, D.C., Very Fine.
9.5" x 6". Bound pamphlet, 14 pages. A few frayed edges on the left hand side with no back page included. Delivered to the United States Senate. Mr. Everett states: "What reference to the great question to slavery - that terrible question - the only one on which the North and the South of this great republic differ irreconcilable - I have not, on this occasion, a word to say... I believe the union of these States is the greatest possible blessing - that is comprises with itself all other blessings, political, national, and social.... I doubt not that in His own good time the Ruler of all will vindicate the most glorious of His prerogatives".
