23. Webster, Daniel and Hayne, Robert. WEBSTER AND HAYNE'S CELEBRATED 
SPEECHES IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE, ON MR. FOOT'S RESOLUTION, OF 
JANUARY, 1830. ALSO, DANIEL WEBSTER'S SPEECH IN THE SENATE OF THE 
UNITED STATES, MARCH 7, 1850, ON THE SLAVERY COMPROMISE. 
Philadelphia: T. B. Peterson & Brothers, (ca. 1857). 115 pp. + 
adv.[13 pp]. 8vo. Stitched paper wrappers.  Later printing. Cover 
title shows the correct date of Webster's Speech: March 7, 1850. The 
ad on next to last page is that of Peterson's magazine for 1858. The 
first section contains the speeches of one of the great debates in 
American history that showed the fault lines of the country and led 
to Webster's brilliant destruction of the theory of Nullification 
(which held that states have the right to declare null and void any 
federal law that they deem unconstitutional) and his espousal of a 
national theory of the constitution. The 7th of March speech (1850) 
was perhaps Webster's last important speech, and though it followed 
from some of his earlier statements, his support of Clay's elaborate 
compromises created a great uproar in the North and injured his 
reputation, a fact of which he was well cognizant. Of this speech 
Emerson wrote: "Mr. Webster has delliberately taken out his name from 
all the files of honour... He has undone all that he spent his years 
in doing." A good copy with small chips in the wrappers, rear wrapper 
detached, dampstained throughout.  Goldsmiths Kress 37197.12 (1850 
ed). Lib. Company. Afro-Americana, 11032. [27412]  $30

24. Webster, Daniel and Whipple, [John]. THE RHODE ISLAND QUESTION. 
ARGUMENTS OF MESSRS. WHIPPLE AND WEBSTER, IN THE CASE OF MARTIN 
LUTHER, PLAINTIFF IN ERROR, VERSUS LUTHER M. BORDEN AND OTHERS, IN 
THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, JANUARY TERM, 1848. 
Providence: Charles Burnett, 1848. 56 pp. 8vo. Stitched paper 
wrappers.  First edition. Signed T. A. Jenckes. Thomas Allen Jenckes 
(1818-1875) was a Brown graduate and lawyer who served in the Rhode 
Island General Assembly and later in the United States House of 
Representatives from 1863 to 1871. Webster sided with the Chartists 
in this case involving Dorr's rebellion which sought to set up a 
popular government in Rhode Island as opposed to the one still ruled 
under the King's charter. Webster argued against the theory of first 
principles "...let me state what I understand the American principles 
to be, on which this system rests... that the people are the source 
of political power. Government is instituted for their good... [but] 
the exercise of legislative power and other powers of government 
immediately by the people themselves is impracticable, they must be 
exercised by representatives of the people... [and] the people limit 
their governments and ... equally important, that the people often 
limit themselves...." Thus the majority does not always rule, and 
Dorr's 14000 votes to the Chartists 7000 holds no relevance. OCLC and 
RLIN show only 6 copies: Brown, Duke, Harvard, Yale, LOC, NYHist.Soc.

Stapled paper wrappers.  First edition. Presentation copy (only first

Parker was a New England Transcendentalist and anti-slavery activist 
. Stearns felt Parker's sermon pernicious: "By an unheard of ferocity 
of attack upon the dead man's fame in a funeral sermon this man has 
put himself beyond the pale of conventional protection. He has shown 
no mercy to the dead, we shall show none to him living." Wrappers 
chipped, edges darkened, tear to top corner of title page, offsetting 
on two pages, else leaves clean; overall a good+ or better copy.
