Letter, 1851 Sept. 6 (Charleston, S.C.), to Henry Summer (Newberry, S.C.)

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/191078045

Letter discussing issues of secession and the Compromise of 1850 and describing a trip to the North during which Bachman spoke with President Millard Fillmore. Bachman replies to Summer, "You are right in supposing that I am disposed to keep aloof from politics... it is unsuited to my profession & the general tenour of my thoughts & studies. I however do not conceal my sentiments & when asked I express them without reserve. I do not go for the compromise or for submission under it. My views do not materially differ from those of McDonald, Quitman, Butler Soule Davis &c- I am opposed to separate state secession, but in favour of agitation, uniting the south - biding our time, & then if we do not receive justice in the Union, we can secure it out of it."
