/ that this side of the House will not object
to his having hearing on this question

remember another fact. There is anoth-

has asked this South to hear him in
answer to the other patriotic gentleman

to his being heard

the gentleman from Massachusetts,, but
to the House. If anybody is to be heard
here l want these patriotic gentleman of
both sides from the South to be heard.
| want those who have stood up for the
Union in its hour of trial to be heard as
well as those whose patriotic sentiments
uttered on this floor amount to but little
following the blood and carnage of the
last ten years.
