Excerpt from Speech of Sam Houston, of Texas, on the Bill for the Relief of Yucatan
Mr. Could I have believed that the Vote would now be taken upon the bill that is before the Senate, I should not have ventured to occupy the time of this body for one moment. But having observed that some degree of excitement has existed, and there being a reasonable probability, to my apprehension, that the debate will not speedily close, I avail myself of the p1ivilege to state what reasons I may have for the vote Which I shall give upon the bill.
