Description based on: Vol. 2, numbers 156 (Jan. 28, 1835)

"By Richard Haughton."

Electronic reproduction. Vol. 6, numbers 164 (Jan. 11, 1838) only. Marlborough, England : Adam Matthew Digital, c2014 (American history, 1493-1945. Module 1, Settlement, commerce, revolution and reform, 1493-1859) Vol. 6, numbers 164 includes a report on the debate of "Calhoun's resolutions" concerning the parameters of the "gag rule," which was renewed by the Senate annually between 1836 and 1844. The debate touches on states' rights, free speech, and secession, and provides an example of how the Senate avoided direct consideration of slavery by instead debating how they should discuss slavery. Contributions are made by senators John C. Calhoun, Daniel Webster, James Buchanan, and Thomas Morris, among others. There is also a resolution by Martin Van Buren urging U.S. citizens not to interfere with the Canadian Rebellion of 1837, and an article on the unrelated steamboat disasters involving the Black Hawk and the Vicksburg.
