Octavo. 8 pp. Unbound and uncut. Minor edgewear and soiling; light foxing. A reasonably nice copy of this speech that was never bound. This speech is a defense of himself and his ideas against a series of editorials published in the Union newspaper calling Wilmot's proposition to impose a tax on "slave property" a Wilmot Proviso, No. 2 and calling him a firebrand with "schemes and mischievous allies." In the midst of the heated debate over the fate of slavery in the territories, Wilmot was one who was central and was a polarizing figure of the time. Rare in commerce. OCLC identifies only copy in institutional holdings. OCLC 49945833. Seller Inventory # 8448
