The same paper says: Messrs. Gilman, Herndon, Braxton, Barton, Rowe, Lacy, and J. L. Marye, Jr., made speeches. The American flag was hissed and thrust out of the door. One man who proposed three cheers for the Union was threatened with expulsion, and it was said he was "joking," but he dared an attack.
