But in the course of time, when the wave of politics set high, and politics became trade, we became dissatisfied with the compromise of 1820, and we appealed to the Federal Government to break up the old, and make a new contract. The Federal Government — this accursed Federal Government that we are so anxious to annihilate — took us at our word, broke up the old and gave us a new bargain, whereby the Missouri Compromise was repealed, and the Kansas-Nebraska pro-slavery act substituted. The Federal Government, then, has not been unkind or unjust to the South. it has been even especially kind and parental to our section; and more than this, the South, by Northern accord, has had the Federal Administration in its hands during nearly the whole period of our national existence. Why should we of the South desire to break up such a Government? And why should we make such haste to rid ourselves of it when we know, by official returns, that we had

If I go (said Mr. S.) into the port of Liverpool with my vessel, and the British Government seize it, it is an act which would justify war upon Great Britain, and would lead to it if the wrong should not be redressed. Will it not, then, be an act of war on the part of Virginia, if she should seize and appropriate to herself the property of the United States? And in this view, is not the act an uught upon us all the iliad of our woes. Sir, I feel it, and know it, that if this old Commonwealth had in the beginning of this crisis met Black Republicanism — uplifting in its face that sacred falchion which she bathed in the best blood of Great Britain eighty years ago, every son of hers would have rushed to her defence, filled with the very spirit of the Revolution. Every man would have been a hero, ready and exulting to die in her cause. The whole Commonwealth would have breathed delibe
