Excerpt from Speech of Hon. A G. Brown, of Mississippi: On the Slavery Question; Delivered in the Senate of the United States, December 29, 1856 Mr. President, it is not my purpose to charge senators with false hood, and certainly I shall not assume the privilege of counselling those opposed to me; but there can be no harm in my saying to the free-soil portion of the Senate, your supporters at home do not believe you are sincere in declaring your opposition to any interference with slavery in the States. They know that, without such interference, there will never be one bondman less; and whenever you convince them that you are sincere, they will turn you out, and send others here more hostile to slavery than you, as you are more hostile than those who went before you. And, to tell the truth, I think they will serve you right in turning, you out. If you did not mean to attack slavery in the States, you ought not to have taught others to believe you did and this you did, as I shall now proceed to show.
