Book Description
Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Smyth, on the Restriction of Slavery in Missouri: Delivered in the House of Representatives of the United States, January 28, 1820 It has been said, (0) that in Virginia free persons elect a member of the House of Representatives, and that in a northern state free persons elect a mem ber. Let us state the facr. A member from Vermont represents persons only; a member from Virginia represents more than persons. In forming a con stitution for a state, it may be proper that a given number of free persons in one part of the state should have as much political power as an equal number in any other part of the same state but, in forming a constitution for a confederacy of states, each should exercise a share of power, and bear a share of public burdens, proportioned to their respective ability. The ability of a state may be fairly estimated by its capacity for labor - the source of wealth. Lf men only were enumerated, there might be some reason for dropping a portion of the number of the slaves; yet even that is doubtful, as many of the freemen are idle, and belong to the unproductive class, whereas the men slaves are generally productive labor ers: but why should five women or five children, who are unproductive, and have no political rights, be count ed five, in proportioning the number of representatives, while five negro men, productive laborers, are counted only three? A concession was indeed made in the con vention in proportioning the representatives among the states; but it seems to me that the southern states made it, in agreeing to count only three-fifths of the slaves.

Book Description
Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Cook, of Illinois, on the Restriction of Slavery in Missouri: Delivered in the House of Representatives of the United States, February 4, 1820 Mr. Chairman, gives rise to a particular interest, superadded to the common interest felt by the people of Illinois. Thus situated, I feel it my bounden duty to give the amendment my support, and shall give that situation as an excuse for my venturing to trespass upon the attention of the committee, by taking a share in this debate. But, Mr. Chairman, before I, engage in the examination of those great questions which are involved in this amendment, I must beg the indulgence of the committee while I attend to some remarks which have fallen from gentlemen in the course of this discussion. It has been remarked as frequently as gentlemen have been heard in the opposition, that they are sworn to support the constitution; and it has been further said by a gentleman from Virginia, (Mr. Randolph, ) that those who support the amendment are striving to enter the temple of the constitution at the hour of midnight, to violate its sanctuary. It is further said by a gentleman from Massachusetts, (Mr. Holmes, ) that they are striving for power, and are paving the way for some master juggler, behind the scene, to ride into the Chief Magistracy of the nation. [Here Mr. Holmes interrupted Mr. Cook, and observed, that he had said, that he believed there was a party who had conjured up this hobby, playing a deep game, and who, he believed, intended to try to turn this measure to their advantage, and ultimately to secure to their leader the Presidential chair. But that, from that party he had expressly excepted the gentlemen of this committee.] Without having any recollection of the exception How spoken of by the gentleman, continued Mr. C. I must say, that the explanation has made the insinuation, which I before considered a direct atttack upon the integrity of those with whom I am acting on this occasion, no less unpalatable than it was before. That there has been a hobby conjured up out of doors, and by urging it that we are striving for power, and that a master juggler at the head of that party, behind the scene, expects to turn that power, if attained, to his advantage, is, to my mind, leaving the imputation as strong in fact, though not so in expression, as I originally understood it. Sir, if I were to look through this committee for one to suspect of being under the influence of such motives as have been insinuated by the honorable member, there is no m.an on whom that suspicion would sooner fix itself than the gentleman who has just interrupted me. And I would further remark that I, as well as gentlemen in the opposition, have sworn to support the constitution; and while I will say to them "act in pursuance of your honest convictions," allow me also to do the same.
