have vote taken as soon as the Senator
from North Carolina (Merrimon) finished

spoke the other Senators on the opposite
side would reserve the right to reply to
what he might say.

of the United States had never exhibited
such a feeling as that exhibited on this
occasion. 1t was feeling of absolute
terror for fear debate might spring
upon q presidential veto. Wonderful
solicitude is shown by the great intrepid
