I declared that you had entered upon a scheme which if persisted in would starve the government to death. I say that 1 took a great risk when I made this charge against you as a party. I put myself in your power, gentlemen. If I had misconceived your purposes and misrepresented your motives, it Avas in your power to prove me a false accuser. It was in your power to ruin me in the estimation of fair-minded, patriotic men, by the utterance of one sentence. The hmnblest or the greatest of you coul...d have overwhelmed me with shame and confusion in one short sentence. You could Ivdve said, " We wish to pass our measures of legis- lation in reference to elections, juries, and the use of the Army; and we will if we can do so constitutionally ; but if we cannot get these measures in accordance with tlie Constitution, we will pass the appropriation bills like loyal Eepresentatives ; and then go home and appeal to the people. " If any man, speaking for the majority, had made that declaration, uttered that sentence, he would have ruined me in the estimation of fair- minded men, and set me down as a false accuser and slanderer.
