Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from River and Harbor Bill and the Dead-Lock: Speeches of Senators Morton, Sherman, and Boutwell, July 18, 19, and 22, 1876
Mr. Merrimon. Are we to sit here with our mouths closed, and are we not the equals of other Senators on this ?oor If not, we Ought to be turned out and sent away. I take it we are sent here under the Constitution of our country to do whatever we can by our advice and by our votes and co-operation calculated to pro mote the best interests of the country. I am here for that purpose. If I am not here as an equal, if I am not at liberty to discuss measures and to aid in maturing them, the sooner the republican party turns me and the men like me out the better.
