Senator Pettus Delivers Humorous Senate Speech in 19th Century Session
In the Washington Senate on March 31 Merriment swept away decorum as Senator Pettus of Alabama, the oldest member, delivered a witty and stirring speech. The chamber and galleries roared with laughter while Pettus remained solemn, mop in hand, and critics praised the gem of comic oratory.
