BISSELL. So you did, by violence. But, by your own laws and the decisions of your own courts, you were punished for it. You were com- pelled to make compensation in damages for your lawless act. Now, I ask our southern friends, in all good feeling, if they can justly urge as a reason for dissolving the Union annoyances consequent upon a state of things in the free States which they cannot prevent at their own doois?
We are met by the gentleman from North Car- olina with another difficulty, for ...which he holds the North responsible. He suggests that the in- creasing anti-slavery sentiment in the North will prevent the President from appointing slavehold- ! ers to office. For the present let a single fact allay the gentleman's fears. The Presidency has been given to the slaveholding States during forty- eight of the last sixty years. And this, too, though the white population of the slaveholding j States has rarely, if at any time, exceeded one- | half that of the free States. Of the foreign mis- sions of all grades, more than a majority have been given to the South.
