Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Nation's Blessing in Trial: A Sermon Preached in the South Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn
But again this is not enough. Soon we are involved in the Mexican war, resulting in another large acquisition Of territory. The slave-power meant to have California and New Mexico; but being disappointed by the unexpected rush of free emigra tion into the former, it resisted the admission of California as a Free State; and this led to the celebrated compromises of 1850, then proclaimed to be a final settlement of the question Of slavery.
