The most important facet of the 7th of March speech was that Daniel Webster compared a dis-united states to a "rope of sand."

It was a 3-1/2 hour speech given March 7, 1850, by Senator Daniel Webster calling for compromise in the issue of slavery.

The US Senate website below has more information and a link to a transcript of the speech itself. It's 23 pages long in .pdf format.
