George Pendleton:
Are you despairing, or merely lazy? This fight is for The United States of America! Nothing suffices. A rumor? Nothing! They're not lazy! They're busily buying votes! While we hope to be saved by the national mood?
[looks over at Stevens, at his desk consulting with Ashley and Julian]
George Pendleton:
Before this blood is dry, when Stevens next takes the floor, taunt him. You excel at that. Get him to proclaim what we all know he believes in his coal-colored heart. That this vote is meant to set the black race on high, to niggerate
[sic]
George Pendleton:

Fernando Wood:

George Pendleton:
Bring Stevens to full froth. I can ensure that every newspaperman from Louisville to San Francisco will be here to witness it and print it.
[Colfax gavels the chamber to order]
