Speech of Mr. Webster on Mr. Clay's Resolutions. Delivered in the Senate of the United States, March 7, 1850

[Washington, D.C.]: Gideon & Co., Printers, 1850. Second edition. Self wrappers. Very good untrimmed, partially unopened copy, top edge sunned, a few untrimmed edges worn.. 15 pp. 8vo. In supporting Clay's compromise, Webster alienated his Northern supporters and friends, which, as Goodspeed noted in an early catalogue, led to Whittier's poem Ichabod: “So fallen! so lost! the light withdrawn, Which once he wore!, The glory from his gray hairs gone, Forevermore!” LCP. Afro-Americana, 11020.
