Mr.. Gordon Of Georgia, referred TO tia

had not made any attack on President

confidence that the bitter sentiment which
characterized the epeech found no re.

that officer was in command at New Or

he said those words ought to be stamped
upon the records Of this land as they are
to-day stamped upon the hearts Of the
