Congressman Horace Mann, March 4, 1850

March 4.

To-day Mr. Calhoun's speech will be read in the Senate, he being unable to deliver it. Mr. Webster is expected to speak very soon. I do not believe he will compromise the great question. He will have too much regard for his historic character and for his consistency to do any such thing; at least, I hope so.
