 We were axare of the excitement which the p members of the Senate would pro- duce by their sentence ef expulsion. We knew that they could not reach us-- they could not degrade us-bu, that the peoplt would stand by US.

The cosnplinsfst, to ourselves are pressased ia various phrsse and fil us with the deepest gratitude.
