Haymond: Never. So far from the fund accumulat- ing, it is fading out of sight ; but you passed the act. You forced it upon us. You declared it to be the height of wis- dom. You ought not to beg out of it. I think I know something of it myself. I believe if I had a creditor within, my power and should force him, against his will and against his judgment, to accept conditions which he thought unjust and unwise, I would have too much manhood to shrink from the consequences when I found he was rig...ht and I was wrong. DETERMINED TO RESIST. I assert here to-day that if the Government of the United States is not bound and bound forever by that act, it will be because this railroad company relieves it from the responsi- bility. Whether the company will ever do that depends upon how the United States may act. If the United States refuses to deal justly and equitably by us, if the United States stands upon its bond and asks not only for the pound of flesh but the blood which will follow, we are justified in the sight of God and man in interposing any shield that we can between ourselves and attempted wrong.
