Book Description

Excerpt from Laws of New Hampshire, Vol. 10: Including Public and Private Acts, Resolves, Votes, Etc.; Second Constitutional Period, 1829-1835 It was in January, 1830, that Daniel Webster, a son of New Hampshire, made his great reply to Hayne in the United States Senate. This speech of Webster's, together with others that he made along the same line, doubtless exerted as great an influence upon the minds of the people of this country as any other speech ever delivered before or since. By his powerful logic the people became convinced that the United States Constitution was a vital and living force in the formation and maintenance of government and this sentiment was essential in order to sustain that unity of action by the northern states necessary to maintain four years of civil war and bring it to a victorious end.
