In the 1800's who said "Time for compromise has now passed"?

Answer 1

It's not a quote exactly

It's from Dunbar Rowland's " Jefferson Davis, Constitutionalist: His Letters, Papers and Speeches" by William F. Cooper, Jr.

It is not an actual quote, but an account written after an impromptu speech given by Davis on his arrival at the train station in Montgomery, Alabama on the night of February 16, 1861.

"President Davis, returning thanks, said that he was proud to receive the congratulations and hospitality of the people of Alabama. He briefly reviewed the present position of the South. The time for compromise, he said, had passed, and our only hope was in a determined maintenance of our position, and to make all who oppose us smell Southern powder and feel Southern steel. If coercion should be persisted in, he had no doubt as to the result. We would maintain our right to self-government at all hazards. We ask nothing, want nothing, and will have no complications. If other States should desire to join our Confederation, they can freely come on our terms. Our seperation from the old Union is complete. NO COMPROMISE; NO RECONSTRUCTION CAN BE NOW ENTERTAINED."
