Some Caleb Cushing's quotes. Goto "Caleb Cushing's quotation" section for more.Entertaining these opinions of the course to be pursued, I beg of gentlemen to look at the question, as I have done, in a calm review of facts and of principles.
Tags: Calm, Done, QuestionWe are laying the foundations of a government, which we hope may outlast the Pyramids.
Tags: Government, Hope, MayMen of New England, I hold you to the doctrines of liberty which ye inherit from your Puritan forefathers.
Tags: Hold, Liberty, MenMen of Virginia, countrymen of Washington, of Patrick Henry, of Jefferson, and of Madison, will ye be true to your constitutional faith?
Tags: Faith, Men, TrueThe right of petition is an old undoubted household right of the blood of England, which runs in our veins.
Tags: Blood, England, OldThe winged words uttered in this House have gone forth to the world, on their mission of good or of evil.
Tags: Evil, Good, WordsThese our great natural rights we keep to ourselves; we will not have them tampered with; respecting them we give to you no commission whatsoever.
Tags: Give, Great, KeepThis Republic was called into being, organized, and is upheld, by a great political doctrine.
Tags: Great, Political, RepublicAnd if this House is to be scared, by whatever influences, from its duty, to receive and hear the petitions of the People, then I shall send my voice beyond the walls of this Capitol for redress.
Tags: House, Voice, WhateverBe the responsibility on their heads who raise this novel and extraordinary question of reception, going to the unconstitutional abridgment, as I conceive, of the great right of petition inherent in the People of the United States.
Tags: Great, Question, UnitedHere, again, as I conceive, gentlemen forget that this government is a republican one, resting exclusively in the intelligence and virtue of the People.
Tags: Forget, Government, HereI declare and protest in advance, that I do not intend, at this time at least; to be drawn or driven into the question of slavery, in either of its subdivisions or forms.
Tags: Either, Question, TimeI maintain that the House is bound by the Constitution to receive the petitions; after which, it will take such method of deciding upon them as reason and principle shall dictate.
Tags: After, House, ReasonIf there be any plausible reason for supposing that we have the right to legislate on the slave interests of the District, you cannot put down the investigation of the subject out of doors, by refusing to receive petitions.
Tags: Cannot, Put, ReasonIt is impossible, in my mind, to distinguish between the refusal to receive a petition, or its summary rejection by some general order, and the denial of the right of petition.
Tags: Impossible, Mind, RejectionSir, allusion has been made, in an early stage of this debate, to the history of the excitement which once pervaded a considerable part of the country, in reference to the transportation of the mails on the Lord's day.
Tags: Country, History, OnceSir, I am a republican; and I desire to see this House observe the principles of that democracy which is ever on the lips of its members, and which, I hope, is in their hearts, as I know and feel it is in mine, and mean it shall be in my conduct.
Tags: Democracy, Hope, MeanSome of them, in accepting the proposed plan of government, coupled their acceptance with a recommendation of various additions to the Constitution, which they deemed essential to the preservation of the rights of the States, or of the People.
