William Farnum: Senator Huyler

Quotes 

• Congressman Hargrove : Mister President, while the southern Senators make this place a beer garden, business north and south is at a *standstill*!

  [pounds his fist] 

  Senator : And who is to blame?

  Senator Huyler : Yes! Who is to blame?

  Congressman Hargrove : You are! You are!

  Senator : Men of the north, if you force us to fight for our liberties, then we'll fight you!

  Senator Huyler : Don't you shake your fists at us, we're not your slaves!

  [the room begins to erupt as the men begin to fight and confront one another on the center floor] 

  Mr. Secretary : [banging his gavel]  Order! Gentlemen! This is the Senate of the United States, not a pot-house. Order in the galleries! Order on the floor!
