O knihe

Excerpt from Speeches of Mr. Downs, of Louisiana, on the Compromise Resolutions of Mr. Clay: In Senate, February 18 and 19, 1850

Now, Mr. President, what were the views of the President? They are not disclosed in the despatch. They do not appear on the files of the Secretary of State. They were communicated only to Mr. King. You are possessed of the views of the President; but what are these views? They are not before us, sir. Is it customary, sir, to leave these instructions to the memory of ambassadors and persons going out on missions of this kind? 'mr. King was the confidential agent of the government. Why conceal any communication from him? Why not give him the means to refresh his memory Oh, no! He was possessed of the views of the President, and therefore they were not contained in the des patch he sent.
