This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III. THE HISTORY OF SOUTHERN ORATORY DURING THE FEDERAL PERIOD, 1788-1861. N the morning of his "Reply to Hayne," Webster asked Senator Bell of New Hampshire whether he should speak out fully his constitutional opinion, or restrain himself, and follow more closely the normal lines of argument connected with Foot's Resolutions. Senator Bell replied: "It is a critical moment; and it is time, it is high time, that the people of the country should know what the constitution is." "Then" replied Webster, "by the blessing of Heaven they shall learn this day, before the sun goes down, what I understand it to be." This was on Jan. 26, 1830, and on that day the greatest oratorical representative of the Union spoke his full mind on what he thought the constitution to be. This oration stands at the centre of the period of the efforts of the states to realize their acquirement of nationality, to realize the conception of federation, and it is the dramatic climax of the greatest era of the spoken word in all constitutional history. Throughout this Federal Period (1788-1861) the constitution is the battle ground, whether, as in the early stages on theoretical and intellectual points such as the nature of treaties; or as at the end of the period, on the practical and sectional points of the slave discussion. As a whole, it is the period in which the political orator predominates to the exclusion of all others. But the greatness of thepolitical issues involved makes it the period of exceptionally great oratory, for in truth they were the greatest issues that could absorb a statesman? issues concerned with the most momentous of human experiments in government: new issues, inspiring originality; vital issues, inspiring caution; sectional issues, inspiring patriotism. ...<
