I hope my colleagues from New England, who sit all around me, will forgive me if I say a word for her. Do you know anything of her history? Her cradle was the bark, rocked on the tempest, that finally landed amid the ice and rocks of Plymouth harbor. Her home was amid the savage^ and the rocks and the ice; and when she found the soil too sterile for sustenance, she plowed the ocean, and thence dug the means of support. She has grown up against opposition ; on her side she has had nothing but Go...d. The mother country, from which she emigrated, oppressed her ; she contended with savages, with wild beasts, with a sterile soil and severe climate; death took half the numbers of the little company of emigrants that landed on that ice and rock-bound shore; yet, amid all these discouragements, and against all these odds, she has gone on every day and every year, prospering and to prosper. Cut her off, throw her away, and then she may look over this whole continent — nay, sir, she may go to your cotton fields and point to the means by which she has been instrumental in so highly elevating cotton, that, from the giddy height, you proclaim him king.
