Book Description
Excerpt from The Writings and Speeches of Daniel Webster, Vol. 7 of 18: Speeches in Congress Mr. President, Congress has now been a good while in ses sion. When we left our respective homes, the pressure had not come on; and we left our friends and neighbors prosperous and happy. We have been here three months, without intercourse with our constituents and our neighbors. In the mean time, the whole condition of things is changed, fearfully changed; and I verily believe we do not fully know or feel the full extent of this change, and all the difficulty and distress which now pervade the people. If we were at home; if we were each in our own respective circles, amidst the men of business, and min gling with all classes; and if we were hearing, as in that case we should hear, every hour, of more and more trouble, of new individual disasters, and of still increasing fear and alarm; and if we could witness, as we then should witness, the despondency of those heads of families whose occupations and means of hving have been thus suddenly cut off, we should be convinced that it is the imperative and solemn duty of Congress to relieve the country without a moment's delay. Sir, if half the time and the study which are now devoted to the finding out of plausible arguments to justify the Secretary of the Treasury were given to an honest and thorough inquiry into the real state of the country, I fully believe all would see the absolute necessity of immediate redress.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Writings and Speeches of Daniel Webster, Vol. 1 of 18 The conflict on slavery which tore asunder the great Whig party, and which destroyed it, belongs to the remote past, and many of those who were opposed to Mr. Webster's course have since paid reverent tribute to his memory and done justice to his patriotism. Nothing of any importance, therefore, that a careful investigation has been able to bring to light, will be withheld from publication.

Excerpt from The Writings and Speeches of Daniel Webster, Vol. 13 of 18 IN his will, signed October 21, 1852, three days before his death, Mr. Webster said: I appoint Edward Everett, George Ticknor, Cornelius Conway Felton, and George Ticknor Curtis, to be my literary executors; and I direct my son, Fletcher Webster, to seal up all my letters, manuscripts, and papers, and at a proper time to select those relating to my personal history, and my professional and public life, which in his judgment should be placed at their disposal, and to transfer the same to them, to be used by them in such manner as they may think fit. They may receive valuable aid from my friend George J. Abbot, Esq., now of the State Department. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Writings and Speeches of Daniel Webster, Vol. 3 of 18: Illustrated With Portraits and Plates; Speeches on Various Occasions There are those, again, who think these vast popular meetings are got up by effort; but I say that no effort could get them up, and no effort can keep them down. There must, then, be some general cause that animates the whole country. What is that cause? It is upon this point I propose to give my opinion to day. I have no design to offend the feelings of any, but I mean in perfect plainness to express my views to the vast multitude assembled around. I know there are among them many who from first to last supported General J ackson. I know there are many who, if conscience and patriotism permitted, would sup port his successor; and I should ill repay the attention with which they may honor me by any reviling or denunciation. Again, I come to play no part of oratory before you. If there have been times and occasions in my life when I might be sup posed anxious to exhibit myself in such a light, that period has passed, and this is not one of the occasions. I come to dictate and prescribe to no man. If my experience, not now short, in the affairs of government, entitle my opinions to any respect, those Opinions are at the service of my fellow-citizens. What I shall state as facts, I hold myself and my character responsible for; what I shall state as opinions, all are alike at liberty to reject or to receive. I ask such consideration for them only as the fair ness and sincerity with which they are uttered may claim.
