'0' nous story about Mississippi. have
re- treated him politely; | do not know 6ut
ass what he may have dreamed It or something
COS Of that sort but l would not undertake
to 10 say after all my experience about men
60 swearing to things occurring in Mississippi
l" that the man was a constitutional llar IN
ra- stead Of a crazy dreamer. The long and
short of 1t Is just this, | will tell the sen
as ator from Massachusetts that | ha never
nv met a lawyer outside Of that court IL
Mississippi OF any politics who concurrec
as with the court in the conclusion which they
orc reached But that is not the way TO decide
that question; that Is not the way TO holc
up a people by repudiating debt.
A. Thy had as much right 10 their opinion
us as to the Justice and legality Of that deb
the as the people Of the United States hat la
ans dclslon made in the Dred Scott case-jus
on as much. 1t was public question ana
undertake to say to the senator i be WI
veal look at II as a lawyer without reference .
