nay have in particular instances. but J
peak Of those &c which had distinct,

promise was received with emulation and
oy. Not The reception Of the treaty Of
,eace negotiated al Gheni, nor any other
wen, which has occurred during my pro.
.rpss in public life. ever gave such I'M
and universal satisfaction az
he settlement Of the Missouri compro.
mise. We may argue from like causes
ike effects. Then. indeed. ihers Was
.reai excitement. Then, indeed. all the
legislatures OF the North called out Tor the
'xclusion III Missouri. and all the legls.
alures Of the South called out Tor her
AZ State. Then, as now.
he country was agI,a,ed like The ocean in
he mids, Of turbulent storm. Bur now,
more than then. has this agitation been in
creased. Nov, more than then. are The
hangers which exist. if the controversy
remains unsettled, more aggravated and
more TO bc dreaded 4 he idea Of disunIon
hen was scarcely low whisper. Now,
il has become familiar language in GER
lain portions Of the country. The public
mind and the public heart are becoming
with that most dangerous and
fatal of all events. the disunion Of the
States. People begin 10 contend that this
is not 50 bad thing as they supposed.
Like the progress in all human affairs. as

". So now | infer. from the greater
amour, Of agitation. the greater amount o.
danger. that if you adopt the measures
under consideration. they TOO will be fol
lowed nv the same amour, Of eonteatlnen,
satisfaction. peace. and tranquility wh,cf
cnsued after the Missouri compromise.
