And, sir, 1 ask, for what was the compromise violated? Gentlemen from the South have repeatedly said here that they did not ask for it — that it was a northern measure, pressed upon them, and they would have been unwise to have repelled the proffered boon. Sir, the secret is here: that same "little giant, " that has almost doubly damned the once great and pure Democratic party, and stamped upon it the broad seal of infamy, led by a reckless, itching ambition, attempted a chef d'eeuvre for the c...hief executive office of this great nation, winch was to prostrate every rival, and leave him alone in the line of promotion.
