THE ARCHITECT OF SECESSION.
DIR. Blanchard's Lecture on John G. Cal
houn,

Rev. Dr. Blanchard delivered his sew
enth lecture on American History last
evening in the vestry of Congress square
church. The subject was John c. Cal
houn, the Architect of Secession"
Every architect has some dominating
idea in his mind before he begins to build.
John G. Calhoun's great idea was The
Sovereignty of the State. He loved the
Union; he revered the Constitution, but
he loved slavery better than his country
and he thought his doctrine of state SOW
ereignty was the best instrument to pre-
serve the Union. He built that doctrine
into the brains of the South. When
South Carolina passed her ordinance of
secession John c. Calhoun was the real
architect of that measure.
When the cannon opened on Sumter
the spirit of the departed statesman was
living in the cannoneers. A brief biog-
raphy of Calhoun was given. A warm
eulogy on his character and intelligence
was pronounced.
LIZ OldACudlu ollOWOl LILO 81 OUo StAAASt
ence between the America of 1S43 and
1898. He illustrated fully the condition
of the South by the recital of his own
life in New Orleans and Rapides Parish
in Louisiana, from lS43 to 1S49. There
he came to know slavery. In after years,
when he had returned to the North, he
learned to hate it. The steps toward Sc
cession were named and dwelt upon. The
Missouri Compromise of 1920 was first
considered. The movement towards
notification was then emphasized. To
understand this, an outline history of the
doctrine of protection was given. In
1915, Calhoun favored protection; Daniel
Webster opposed, as fervent believer in
free trade. The compromise of 1888 was
really victory for Calhoun and his doc
trine Of state sovereignty. In 1912, Clay s
American System came into power. In
1915, Texas was admitted. In 1847, the
Wilmot Proviso was urged in Congress,
but failed to pass. Through all these
movements the student sees the power OF
Calhoun's influence. His lofty character.
his clear statements, his logical force,
made him a master among men, AS
Webster in the North, by his printed
speeches, had made men believe in the
Union, in the sovereignty of the nation,
so Calhoun, in the South, had made men
believe that slavery was a good to be de-
Tended, and that the single sovereign
state could Withdraw from the Union.
DR.. Blanchard then dwelt on the events
following the death of Calhoun in 1850;
the compromise of that year defended by
Webster. the Kansas-N ebraska bill, Doug
lass advocacy of squatter sovereignty
Lincoln's faith that "a house divided
against itself cannot stand"
He described the scene at Calhoun $
grave when the procession gathered
around it after the ordinance of secession
had been passed. The secessionists were
honoring the architect of secession.
In conclusion, DR.. Blanchard made an
earnest appeal for pitiful respect for the
believer in the doctrine of state sovereign
ty and for ardent faith in the doctrine OF
the sovereignty of the nation.
The concluding lecture on Abraham
Lincoln, the Savior of the Union" will
be given February 18th.
