Pians of Daniel Webster and Calhoun on Slavery Law
The piece reports Webster arguing the Wilmot Proviso is unnecessary as nature forbids slavery in new territories and Calhoun countering, urging the law of nature and Mexican laws to govern, with vivid description of Calhoun's Senate appearance and a quoted comparison of Webster’s plan to Taylor's policy. It notes the last Senate address by Calhoun and references the Missouri Compromise's anticipated effects.
