Book Description

Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Dixon, of Connecticut, on the Reference of the President's Message: Delivered in the House of Representatives of the U. States, January 24, 1848 I have read this extract for the sole purpose of showing that the freedom of debate in this House, during this and the last session of Congress, has not equalled that permitted in the Parliament of Great Britain. But, in the progress of my remarks, I shall not avail myself of the privilege claimed by others. It will be enough for me if I can Show that the President has been guilty of gross mistakes in his statement of facts; whether intentionally or not, is not import ant to my purpose.
