The people of California have, without
authority from Congress, organized gov
eminent, formed constitution, and enacted
laws; they have prohibited slavery, and the
prohibition applies to the country south of
36 degrees so minutes; and the question
now is Of that different character which we
were told by the late President would have
required from him different action from
that of the Oregon bill.
have elsewhere explained, when it was
questioned, the understanding had of the
Presidents motive for signing that Oregon
bill, though | never approved of the decision.
| honored the motive, as it was stated to
me, by which he was prompted, and have
endeavored to save his administration from
the obliquy" which its enemies have sought
to attach to the act.
Readily admitting the more thorough ac-
qnaintance. with the views and opinions of
the late President which Mr., Walker pos
sesses, it only remains to me to hope that
upon reconsideration, he will abandon the
supposition that Mr. Polk would have sign
ed such bill as this we now have under
consideration If am wrong in the belief
that he would have maintained against any
and all influences the spirit Of the Missouri
compromise, then | have been wrong in the
only defence I have ever found in any de-
gree acceptable to the democracy of Missis-
sippi, when I have opposed the censure
which many bestowed upon his sanction of
the Oregon territorial bill. 1t was not my
intention to discuss the merits of Mr.. Clay's
bill: that may have to do in my place as
a Senator. Here wish only to reply to an
appeal SO made, as to put me in false po-
sition, and made by one against whose au.
thority it is to me disagreeable to be op-
posed. Very truly, your friend,
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
The Woodville Republican. [volume] (Woodville, Miss.) 1847-1853, 1850-06-25

the justice, the feeling of fraternity, ana the
sense of constitutional obligation, to which
! have referred have rendered some prone,
upon slight evidence, to believe that all dan
ger was past; and if recent events have ere
ated thus some division of opinion as to the
necessity OF the Nashville Convention, let
no one presume from that manifestation
that there is any purpose of submission, or
of abandonment of their friends and neigh
bors, in case that hope ana confidence are
disappointed and deceived. The difference,
Mr.. President, is mainly this some rely
upon the patriotism and good feeling of their
tellow-citizens ofthe North for full and fair
settlement of all matters in dispute; others
distrust it. Those who dtstmst it are in
favor of immediate action. Those who feel
The reliance to which ] have referred are
disposed to postpone action, with the hope
that it will be rendered unnecessary | am
not one of those who believe the hope to be
well founded. 1t is my opinion that Justice
will not be done to the South, unless from
other promptings than are aboutus here, that
we shalt have no substantial consideration
offered to us for the surrender of an equal
claim to California. No security against
future harassment by Congress will proba-
ly be given. The rainbow which some
have seen, fear was set before the termina-
ton of the storm. If this be so those who
have been first to hope, to relax their ener-
gles, to trust in compromise, will often be
the first to sound the alarm when danger
again approaches. Therefore, / say, if
reckless and selfsustaining majority shall
trample upon her rights, if the constitution
al equality Of the States is to be overthrown
by force, private and political rights to be
born down by force of numbers, then, sir,
when that victory over constitutional rights
is achieved, the shout of triumph which an
nounces it, before it is half uttered, will be
checked by the united the determined ac-
ton of the South and every breeze will
bring to the marauding destroyers of those
rights the warning Woe, woe to the riders
who trample them down! submit the re-
port and resolutions, and ask that they may
be read and printed for the use of the Senate.
