Book Description
Excerpt from Speech of Truman Smith, of Connecticut, on the Nebraska Question: Delivered in the Senate of the United States; February 10 and 11, 1854 I have risen, L r. President, to discuss the merits of this bill in extenso, and to dwell on topics, in the first instance, which have nothing to 'do with the slavery question. Unfortunate ly, that question has been thrust into the bill. I shall, however, state other objections, which should, in my judgment, exclude this measure by the unanimous vote of the Senate; and then we can, if we please, leave the question alluded to undecided.

Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Truman Smith, of Connecticut, on the Nebraska Question: Delivered in the Senate of the United States, February 10 and 11, 1854 Why did he suffer him to act with fearful ref sponsibilities, under the delusion thatkthe terri? Tory north of 36 deg. 80 min., and this side of the Rocky mountains, was fixed, irrevocably fixed for freedom? Why did he suffer the' bone orable Senator from Missouri to fall, at the-last session, into the same errori' Or, ' rather; why did he not rise and correct it, on the spot? Why not communicate with his friends -in the House of Representatives, and why not'lh the true state of the case before the Senate an the coun try? The Senator, by the position 'be'now as sumes, -arraigns'himself; heimpeaches his own conduct;. He'furnishes conclusive-evidence on the issue' adverse to himself; and the verdict ofthe, power of ap inting, by and with-the advice and consent oft e Senate, all the executive and judicial officers of each Ternary, We have as sumed thatthe.

A Peculiar People

ISBN: 0807837407
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Though the U.S. Constitution guarantees the free exercise of religion, it does not specify what counts as a religion. From its founding in the 1830s, Mormonism, a homegrown American faith, drew thousands of converts but far more critics. In "A Peculiar People", J. Spencer Fluhman offers a comprehensive history of anti-Mormon thought and the associated passionate debates about religious authenticity in nineteenth-century America. He argues that understanding anti-Mormonism provides critical insight into the American psyche because Mormonism became a potent symbol around which ideas about religion and the state took shape. Fluhman documents how Mormonism was defamed, with attacks often aimed at polygamy, and shows how the new faith supplied a social enemy for a public agitated by the popular press and wracked with social and economic instability. Taking the story to the turn of the century, Fluhman demonstrates how Mormonism's own transformations, the result of both choice and outside force, sapped the strength of the worst anti-Mormon vitriol, triggering the acceptance of Utah into the Union in 1896 and also paving the way for the dramatic, yet still grudging, acceptance of Mormonism as an American religion.
