The session held some two weeks longer than
the ever memorable session Of ls49 so, the
longest previously held. but in brilliancy of
talent. ~ popular interest and in the i'm
portance Of the subjects discussed there is no
comparison The congress of lS49-5O was
the most important in American history, not
yielding place to any during the war: and
for the numter Of talented men who took
part in lis discussions there is probably none
other to equal it.
In that congress the venerable and silver
tongued Clay, the massive Webster, the schol
arly Calhoun and the rugged Benton had
their last mutual struggle, the last Of earth
for the first three. In the house there was q
galaxy of greatness, almost every name Of
which has since become famous. Nearly all
the old and worn political issues were laid
aside by that congress-; nearly all the new
questions, to be fought over for the next
twenty years, were started there; the terri
torial system received its final shape, Cali
fornia became state, the Texas boundary
question was settled, the fugitive slave law
passed, and after long and heated debate the
slavery question was settled by compromise
which both the great parties indorsed, and
which, it was fondly hoped, would endure for
century. The Union was nearer to a disso-
luton then than it ever again was before the
war began President Taylor died in the
hottest stage of the controversy, and Vice
President Fillmore succeeded.
