Where the law speaks in mandatory terms to everybody else and then to me, I should deem it cowardly and dishonorable if I should skulk behind my legislative privilege for tlie pnrpose of disobeying and breaking tlie supreme law of the land. [Applause. ] The issue now made is somewhat diflferent from that of the last session, but, in my judgment, it is not less significant and dangerous. I would gladly waive any party advantage which this controversy might give, foj- the sake of that calm and se...ttled peace which would reign in this Hall if we all obeyed the law. But if the leaders on the other side are still determined to rush upon their fate by forcing 9 upon the country this last issue— that because the democratic party- happen not to like a law they will not obey it— because they happen not to approve of the spirit and character of a law they will not let it be executed— I say to gentlemen on the other side if you are deter- mined to make such an issue, it is high time that the American peo- ple should know it.
