Both these, sir, are abominable and dangerous frauds upon the Constitution, upon the people, and against the future peace of the Union, already abundantly put in jeopardy by questions of this sort. As a Southern man, the citizen of a State, who^e present safely demands that all the public and national guaran- ties be strictly preserved, and maintained to our subsisting interests of this sort;\ as the public agent of such a community, I will do all that I can to see that no 21 injurious hand sha...ll be laid upon rights within this nation, to which every part of it is faithfully pledged. But, sir, I should not seek the wisely moderate State to which I belong will not seek any thing beyond our present good secu- rities, far more likely to suffer, than to gain, from any rash disturbance of them, under the hazardous idea of extending them. Pray let us hold on to what we justly have, and not drop it to catch at a shadow. If we can break through the Constitution to extend slavery, how are we to expect that like breaches will not be made to subvert it?
