A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Washington, March 22, 1850. My Dear Sir :I send to you, as an old friend, a copy of my late speech in the Senate. It relates to a subject quite interesting to the country, as connected with the question of proper governments for those new territories which you had an important agency in bringing under the power of the United States. I would hardly ask your opinion of the general sentiments of the speech, although I know you are a very competent judge ;but that, being out of the strife of politics, your judgment is not likely to be biassed, and that you have as great a stake as any man in the preservation of the Union, and the maintenance of the Government on its true principles. I am, dear sir, With great respect, yours, DANIEL WEBSTER. Commodore Stockton.
