Abstract:

This is a reprint of a letter written by writer and Secretary of the Navy James Kirke Paulding to President John C. Calhoun. This letter was written in response to a speech given by Calhoun on March 4, 1850 as part of the debate on Clay's resolutions which formed the basis for the Compromise of 1850. Paulding had revealed himself in other writing to be sympathetic to the Southern position and to the institution of Slavery, and those sentiments are reflected in this letter.
