Book Description
Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Plumer, of New-Hampshire, on the Missouri Question, Delivered in the House of Representatives of the United States, February 21, 1820 The first of these conditions is, that the new state shall consist of a certain extent of territory, different from that proposed in their memorial, and different from that embraced within their present limits, and in both these respects differing from their request: the second is, that their constitution shall be republican: and the third, which is the object of the present amendment, that they shall prevent the further introduction of slaves, and that the offspring of those already there shall be free - These three conditions are made indispensable to their becoming, at this time, a member of the federal Union. Other terms are also proposed; but these are offered only as the price of certain other stipulations, into which it is desired that Missouri should enter. They are, by the same act, authorized to call a convention, to determine whether it is expedient for them, at this time, and upon these conditions, to become a member of the union. If so, they are permitted to form a constitution, and are to be received without delay into our confederacy. This act, then, is simply an answer to the request of Missouri; and, without her consent and acceptance, it can have no binding force or effect on either party. If, when met in convention, her delegates should deem it inexpedient to accept our terms, there is an end at once of our act, & of all the measures growing out of it. Either party may propose new terms, or both remain in their present condition. We do not, therefore, as has been so often asserted in this debate, undertake to form a constitution for the people of Missouri; we do not impose upon them terms and conditions, which are to bind them without their consent; nor do we, by this act, say that Missouri shall never be admitted, if she does not accept our present offers. We merely inform her on what conditions we are willing, at this time, to receive her into the Union. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Mr. Scott's Speech on the Missouri Question, in the House of Representatives of the United States Mr. Scott said - it had been erroneously stated, that Misscui demanded that which she ought more modestly to sue for as a matter of special grace and favour. In the remarks which he should now have the honour to submit on the subject, he did not wish to be again misunderstood by the honourable gentleman from New-York, (Mr. Taylor.) or any other quarter. Mr. Scott did not sound the tocsin of alarm - he did not heat up for volunteers in rebellion against the constituted authorities of his country - but he should degrade, counteract, and even misrepresent, the wishes of the people of Missouri, was he to press their claim for admission into the Union, by obsequious supplications, and prayers suited alone to the taste and palates of sycophants, or of tyrants. Sir, said Mr. Scott, Missouri asks, in the true American character of moderation and firmness, your assistance to organize her State Government, as preparatory to her admission into the Union. She did not sink herself beneath notice, by an affectation of inferiority, meekness, dependence, and submission, which she did not feel, nor did she by any rash declarations, or warlike attitudes, authorize the ungenerous insinuations, that there was in that people a moral unfitness for self-government. There had been no exhibition of such a spirit of boisterous domination, as ought to induce you to shun their company, or to avoid associating with them as a member of the federal family. Missouri presented herself with the Constitution of the United States in one hand, and the treaty of cession in the other, and asked admission into the Union. She exhibited as preliminaries, a long apprenticeship under the guardianship of your laws; a moral capacity and fitness in the people for self-government; a devoted attachment to the Constitution and laws of the land; a firm and fixed republican character; and numbers sufficient to entitle her to two representatives.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Missouri Compromises and Presidential Politics, 1820-1825: From the Letters of William Plumer, Junior, Representative From New Hampshire Some of Plumer's letters which were not pertinent to the topics under discussion have been omitted, as have parts of particular letters otherwise reproduced. The original text has been followed as closely as possible, even to spelling and punctuation. Only those portions of the letters which deal with public affairs have been included. The number and length of footnotes is always a vexatious problem. The policy attempted here has been to supply enough notes to clarify the text without annotating it almost to death, to borrow a phrase from Dr. J. Frank lin Jameson.
