Protracted attack and defence influenced it, but did not beget it. The defenders of slavery took high ground, attacked their adversaries as meddlesome fanatics, re jected all interference as extraconstitutional, expressed their determination to defend their rights to the utmost, and in every way assumed an uncompromising attitude. The chief difference between earlier and later debates was that the strength of resistance was first found in Georgia and South Carolina. The division between free an...d slave States was not yet firmly drawn. The same personal characteristics were manifest as later; here offensive insolence in the defence of slavery, there a bold word for liberty as the speech, in the second session, of Scott of Pennsylvania. There were also the same sudden and weak concessions on the part of those whose relations pledged them to firmer action. Ames of Massachusetts, who had succeeded in reducing the tax on West India molasses from 6 to 2J- cents per gallon, and who had ridiculed the moral argument in its applica tion to New England rum then and since finding its chief market in Africa came forward to help arrest any action against slavery.
