33d Cong. , vol. 29, page 767. Extract of the speech of Hon. Howell Cobb, of Georgia, at Concord, New Hamp- shire, in February, L856 : — * * * " On the subject of slavery, a^ upon all other issues arising before the people, there- is but one question and one answer. It is not whether slavery is right or wrong, or whether it is a blessing or a curse, or whether it shall be increased or abolished, but the only question is. What says the Constitution? And the only answer should be, 1 will do what ...the Constitution requires to be done. The man who objects to this doctrine wars upon the principle of self- government and the Constitution of his country ; and for such a man 1 have no word either of argument or appeal. " * *. * "Apply this principle to the ques- tion which now so deeply agitates the public mind of this country, and threatens to disturb its peace and quiet. In the Kansas bill it was provided that this vexed question of slavery should be left where the blood of the Revolution put it : where the great principles of self-govern- ment leave it — to be decided by the people of Kansas, subject only to the Constitution of the United States.
