Sinopsis
Excerpt from Conscience and the Constitution With Remarks on the Recent Speech of the Hon.: Daniel Webster in the Senate of the United States on the Subject of Slavery
And now, what is the consequence of my alleged political faaa: pas? The public have little interest, indeed, to be informed of my individual experience; and were it not that they stand connected with my undertaking to write the following pages, I should of course pass them by in silence. But as the matter now is, what has befallen me may serve to cast some light, on the manner in which many of Mr. Webster's accusers manage their cause. Some other things, also, may perhaps have light cast upon them by what has befallen me. But I reserve, for the sequel, any remarks that I may find occasion to make respecting those matters.

Excerpt from Conscience and the Constitution With Remarks on the Recent Speech of the Hon.: Daniel Webster in the Senate of the United States on the Subject of Slavery
I Have not selected a passage of Paul's first epistle to the Corinthians, to stand on my title page, without some hesitation. It is not because I am anxious about myself in the matter, that I have hesitated; for let my motto be whatever it might, unless it were some favorite passage of the so-called anti-slavery party, it would probably be read by one portion of the community, in their present state of excitement, with strong forebodings of a pro-slavery effort. Let it be so, then, if it needs must be. I am willing, for myself, to shoulder the burden, and to stand under it if I can. But I rather shrink from putting the great apostle in the fore-front of such a battle, and exposing him to the contumely which any one else must meet with, who perils a declaration of the same purport as his, on his own responsibility. The reader who does not understand Greek, may find a translation of Paul's words, in the first clause of 1 Cor. 7:21. There it stands, as translated, in the following words: Art thou called, being a servant, care not for It. Had I adopted some motto devised by myself, expressed it in other words of just the same import as those of the apostle, and then placed this instead of the words of Paul at the head of my little pamphlet, I should unquestionably find that a cataract of obloquy and indignation would speedily be pouring upon me. Still I could have dared to commit such a deed, had I not deemed it more to my purpose to quote what Paul says, than to quote myself.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a 19th-century exploration of the intersection between conscience and the constitution, especially in relation to slavery in the US. The author analyzes the Bible's position on slavery, finds slavery to be a recurring theme in the Old Testament, and argues there is no biblical command to abolish it. They analyze the author's personal experiences with anti-slavery sentiment in the 1800s, and give a nuanced view of the topic within the broader historical context of the time. This book provides an important historical perspective on biblical justifications for and against slavery.
