Excerpt from Peace and Re-Union: Speech of Hon. James Dixon, of Delivered in the Senate of the United States, February 27, 1866Mr. Fessenden. No; but I deny the correctness of the inference from it, and what I supposed to have been in his mind, and what I think everybody else must see was in his mind, and that is, that these States are in a condition to be admitted.Mr. Dixon. That is what I supposed the Senator said. The Senator says he does not deny the correctness of that statement in the message, but he denies the inference that he draws from it.

The Senator can draw inferences to a greater extent than most men. It is enough for me if what the President says is correct. I am not responsible, nor is the President responsible, for the inferences that may be drawn from it. What does he say?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
