The Photographic History of The Civil War: in ten volumes, Thousands of Scenes Photographed 1861-65, with Text by many Special Authorities, Volume 9: Poetry and Eloquence. (ed. Francis Trevelyan Miller), Introduction: the spirit of nationality (search)
one of the most notable orations ever delivered in the House of Representatives. Charles Sumner, it will be remembered, had been foremost among the leaders in the negro legislation of Congress.

Lamar, Congressman from Mississippi, was invited by the Massachusetts delegation to second the resolution. Only a perfunctory performance was expected, but as Lan tones which should reach each and every heart throughout this broad territory: My countrymen! know one another, and you will love one another.

In 1847 he went to Oxford, Miss., where he began practice. Later, he was made Professor of Mathematics in the State University, and also became an editorial e read. [He then sent to the clerk's desk and had read the resolutions of the Mississippi legislature instructing their Senators to vote for the silver bill. Mr. Lamar, continuing, said:] Mr. President, between these resolutions and my convictions there is a great gulf; I cannot pass it. Of my love to the State of Mississippnd drove the other into opposition, the separation of the two was produced without the voluntary agency of either and against the natural tendencies of both. [Mr. Lamar here entered into a discussion of the Presidential election in Louisiana in 1876, and then continued:] Sir, this race problem is capable of solution. Two Eng
