A Good copy. A speech that was originally delivered before the United States House of Representatives on January 10, 1848 by Frederick Perry Stanton (1814-1894), an American lawyer and politician. He served as a U.S. Representative from Tennessee from 1845-1855 and Acting Governor of Kansas Territory in 1857. He began his political career as a Democrat but became a Republican during the beginning of the Civil War in 1861. In this speech, Stanton defends President James K. Polk's decision to use the executive veto to stop a "harbors and rivers" bill from passing. This bill would have allowed funding for the construction and maintenance of infrastructure projects on waterways. While Stanton contends that Polk was well within his constitutional right to exercise the veto power, he generally disagrees with Polk's reasoning to stop the bill that had been supported by the majority of both the U.S. House and Senate. Stanton refers to extracts of statements made by Polk and other politicians such as John C. Calhoun to elaborate on his arguments. One of Polk's arguments for stopping the bill was that Congress would abuse its ability to pass infrastructure bills in an unlimited manner. However, Stanton counters this sentiment and notes that Congress had already in the past exercised its ability to makes rights of way on bodies of water and constructed "needful buildings" such as lighthouses. Stanton also supports federal government funding and constructing public works projects that are "important and national in character" because he believes these projects will be financially cheaper and more efficiently executed than if they were in the hands of private individuals or corporations. However, Stanton's position on the passage of the harbors and rivers bill is nuanced in that he pointedly states he would not support such an infrastructure or "internal improvements" bill until the Mexican-American War ends. He briefly discusses the ongoing war and takes the position, like many of his Democratic colleagues, that the war was justly prosecuted and that Mexico had started the war. Towards the end of his speech, he states his support for appropriations that would help to prosecute and end the war. He argues that the war currently takes priority over domestic matters such as the internal improvements in question but also states he would consider internal improvement bills once the war ends.

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. Original publisher's beige paper wrappers. Text printed in black ink. No date, circa 1848. 5 3/4" x 9." Eight pages, complete. Pages are clean and intact except for moderate browning and offsetting, small occasional spots of foxing or discoloration, a few small dampstains limited to edges and spine, and slight chipping and splitting along spine. A Very Good copy. A speech that was originally delivered before the United States House of Representatives on March 14, 1848 by Frederick Perry Stanton (1814-1894), an American lawyer and politician. He served as a U.S. Representative from Tennessee from 1845-1855. He was first elected to Congress as a Democrat but later changed to the Republican Party at the beginning of the Civil War. In this speech, Stanton responds to the recent message of President James K. Polk in which the latter addressed the return of Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna and Mariano Paredes to Mexico and his refusal to disclose his instructions to U.S. Minister John Slidell. Stanton ardently defends Polk and first states that the president is under no obligation to disclose instructions to diplomats to either part of Congress. In a later part of his speech, Stanton questions why the Whigs find only fault in Polk's administration and the U.S. government and not any with Mexico during the war. Stanton argues that Polk's prosecution of the war was justified because he believes that the annexation of Texas was justified. He cites the treaties following the Battle of San Jacinto, which the U.S. had won, that recognized the independence of Texas. Stanton also argues that Polk's actions leading up to and during the war were reasonable because Mexico had refused to negotiate with Slidell. Stanton also commends the administration for the acquisition of territory from Mexico as a result of the war.
