The Truth of the War Conspiracy of 1861 by H. W. Johnstone Pdf
During President Washington’s administration, at a banquet of the notables at Richmond, a young man, John Randolph of Roanoke, was called on for sentiment. Randolph arose, raised his glass, and said: “George Washington, may he be damned”— Instantly there was a howl of protest, a threatening movement. Randolph calmly waited; then continued— —“if he signs Jay’s Treaty!” There was a shout of approval. I have somewhat to say. Hear me through, then howl or shout, as you may feel.
