Narrative

REFERENCE: 271 Va Cous
Graduated from William and Mary College, 1819, studied law, and commenced
practice as an attorney, in 1821. He was soon elected to the Legislature
and took an active part in the debates on slavery in 1832. He continued
in this body many years, and was, during several sessions, Speaker of the
(Virginia) House of Delegates, member of the State Reform Convention,
1827 and 1832. Member of the U.S. House of Representatives, 1841 1843,
and 1853 - 1859. In the XXXVth Congress he was Chairman of the Committee
on the District of Columbia.
John T. Goode writes, "He assuredly reached a high rank as a debater -
few superior - look to his speech on the gradual emancipation question in
the House of Delegates of Virginia - it may be said it immortalized him -
look to all his speeches in the House of Delegates of Virginia and the
Congress of the United States. They were of the highest grade of
oratory." p. 123 Va Cousins
