I wish to ask the Senator a question for information. I should like to ask my friend from Mississippi. whose patriotism I respect most sincerely. upon what principle it has been. first. that the First or Second Congress of the United States took out of the pockets of the taxpayers a certain amount of public treasure for the benefit of the loyal refugees who had been driven from the provinces of King George on account of their disposition to be republicans or democratsI mean republicans in the constitutional sense. of course. not members of the present bad Republican party. Was that a right principle or a wrong one? Then I should like the Senator to answer one or two more questions in the same line. and he can answer all at once.
