Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Speech of C. M. Clay, of Fayette: In the House of Representatives of Kentucky, January, 1841, Upon the Bill to Repeal the Law of 1833, "to Prohibit the Importation of Slaves Into This State"
Having thus attempted to repel the divine right of slavery, and prove that this law, so far from being an innovation, and contrary to precedent, is in accordance with the settled policy of all our eminent men, from Washing ton, Jefi'erson, and Henry, down to the pre sent time - that it is in unison with the Christian religion, and the advance of civili zation and the irresistible moral sentiment of mankind - I shall now attempt to vindicate its constitutionality.
