Corwin's Great Speech Against the Compromise Bill 1848
Senator Corwin denounces the Wilmot Proviso based compromise on California New Mexico and Oregon slavery, arguing Congress cannot force a national policy on slavery in new territories, warning of constitutional limits and dangers to the Union, urging independent judgment and careful use of power. He cites Jefferson Madison and Virginia history, questions Supreme Court reliance, and condemns spreading slavery into newly acquired lands.
