that his great speech in reply to
Hayne, which is the high water mark
of modern eloquence, but which at the

cred without preparation, had been
substantially prepared long before.
When called upon Suddenly to reply to
the fiery Carolinian's attacks, which SO

away in a pigeonhole," and refresh his
recollection. eff Hayne," he said, chad
tried to make speech to fit my notes,
he could not have hit them better. No
man is inspired by the occasion. |

the law forbidding tobacco dates from
