Book Description
Excerpt from Speech of Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi, on the Oregon Bill: Delivered in the Senate of the United States, July 12, 1848 With what justice or propriety do those who have availed themselves of the demand for their slaves in the more southern and sparsely settled States, now insist upon closing the door against their egress to newer countries, as the white population, gathering behind them, would press them still further on They have sold their slaves when they ceased to be profitable, and sla very became to them a sin of horrid enormity when the property was transferred from them selves to their brother. Therefore they will confine it to the country in which it now exists, and deprive others of the means used by themselves, and which forms the only practicable mode of getting rid of it. To those who are sincere in their professions of a wish to banish slavery from the United States, and feel it is only to be effected by the voluntary action of those among whom it exists, I say, leave your territories open, and let the white race, as it flows in from the north, gradually, by its greater energy and intelligence, bear the African race before it to regions unsuited to the labor of the white man, as the tide bears the foam to the shore, and gives back to the beaclr the things which are its own.

Book Description
The five-year period from 1841 to 1846 saw the beginning of Jefferson Davis’ political career. In this, the second volume of The Papers of Jefferson Davis, the documents cover Davis’ unsuccessful race for the state legislature, his selection as a Democratic state elector, his marriage to Varina Howell, his election to the U.S. House of Representatives, and his departure therefrom to assume command of the First Mississippi Regiment in the Mexican War. In the congressional documents Davis emerges as a hardworking freshman representative who quickly won for himself the respect and esteem of his fellow congressmen. There were, however, notable exceptions. One such exception was Andrew Johnson, a tailor by trade, who strongly resented Davis’ remark on the floor of the House that a “blacksmith or tailor” could not be expected to achieve the same results in battle as a trained military man. In the somewhat bitter exchange that followed, some have professed to see the beginnings of the long-standing animosity between Johnson and Davis. The 255 documents in this volume (two appendixes contain undated and late-arriving items) provide a clear picture of Jefferson Davis, the man and the politician, and give an intimate view of Mississippi in the 1840s. Throughout the volume are rumblings of the then distant storm that was to break so disastrously over the nation in the 1860s.
