[Music] hmm [Music] he hasn't danced with anybody but her all night do you think it was wise to invite judge terry here all these people are our friends let's keep the civil war out of this house [Music] it's still for pretty toes will you bob [Music] what's the matter charlie don't you like our bunch oh sure adam it uh looks like little joe is rather taken with the charms of that southern bill yes so it was seen [Music] punch [Music] friends we're honored tonight by the presence of the distinguished english shakespearean actor walter craig's murder i am fortunate to have been able to prevail upon him to recite a short selection from the performance which he'll be presenting at the opera house tomorrow evening mr walter craigsburg ladies and gentlemen my host mr cartwright as you have requested some words from the immortal bird romans countrymen and lovers hear me for my cause and be silent that you may hear and awake your senses that you may the better judge certainly forgotten look away if there be any man in this assembly any dear friend of caesars all the time he might say oh i wish i was for caesar was noticeable look away if you have enough money to be quiet you got something again dixie yank why don't you get out of here with your drunken rebel terry there are just as many yankee drunks stewart you will not bring the civil war into my house [Music] so [Music] hey [Music] all right why don't you come out with it out with it with what you're thinking well that could be a dangerous request i wasn't deaf last night when you made your remarks about morvath joe i didn't say anything about the girl just about what she represents which happens to be a a system based on the enslavement of human beings she doesn't believe in that any more than you do it just feels the south has the right to to work out their own problems they don't want to be dictated to by a bunch of northern politicians you mean it wants to hold on to slavery for another hundred years i mean nothing of the kind in either case morvath has nothing to do with it now joe that's not true and you know it she and her father are bound to the south and everything it stands for in the war now look lately you've been twisting everything and everybody into the war of politics now after this i want you to leave my girl out of it well how can i and she and her father ended up to their necks and they'll pull you in with them if you uh don't come to your senses you know i'm getting a little tired of your prejudice against my girl and i'm getting tired of you being blinded by a girl when there's more important things to remember what's all this about uh just trying to open his eyes a little open his eyes about what not judge terry i'm not marrying judge terry hold on there boy this is the first time you've mentioned anything about marriage i wasn't sure before marvath and i are gonna be married and i don't care about her father's politics i love her and she loves me i think she'd say anything to get a cart right into the terry faction [Applause] oh you know about terry you know jefferson davis has promised him the governorship to the territory if it goes confederate what's that got to do with morvath well i just got through telling you well adam kind of had a young fella fall in love with a girl without war or politics coming into it not when it's terry's daughter hey paul oh paul we got a caller up the house who it's bill stuart he said he wants to talk to me it's important i'll tell him i'll be right along yes sir and how about both of you giving a little thought to the running of this ranch and stop wasting your time on things that don't concern us i think that this war does concern us and we've got a ranch to run and starting right now we're all going to remember it we got an offer from the keystone and carson for 50 000 feet of undressed timber i want you and haas to head north and mark out the temper for cutting it's about time the herd was inspected so you can paint your grub and take care of that maybe a couple of weeks on the trail we'll clear your heads and cool your tempers now come on a couple of things out here i want you to do afternoon ben hello bill how are you never better in fact i'm full of beans and benevolence this afternoon ben the legislature just gave us the nod what not statehood they've called the convention to meet in carson city next week 36 delegates from all over the comstock to vote a resolution to join the union now we've divided up the territory and you're going to represent the ponderosa well wait a minute bill you've got the biggest spread in the area ben you're entitled to representation oh naturally you'll be able to vote whichever way you want for or against statehood but i know you pretty well ben and i'm pretty confident that i can't be too competent bill how about what about the way i'm going to vote then you see what's going on in town terry's already lining up delegates to defeat a statehood resolution he figures to lick us in the convention and then shove us over into the confederacy that's just so much talk talk is it the law says all statehood needs is a two-thirds majority i've got 23 delegates pledged to me that's one short i need your vote ben and lincoln needs the silver he needs it bad yeah yes he needs it bad and so does jefferson davis need it bad and if neither one of them gets it the war will die of its own poverty then cartwright you've got your head deeper in the ground than the deepest diggings bill this war has nothing to do with us here in the territory but it's already divided my sons one against the other i don't want any part of it and if statehood means war then i certainly don't want any part of that are you gonna have to find your boat somewhere else you're not gonna find it here i never thought i'd see the day that you'd abandoned your country you don't mean that don't i what are you thinking about i was thinking about the dance the other night oh i'm sorry about what happened i guess feelings are running pretty high though but that wasn't what i was thinking about little joe i was thinking about the dress emily wall did you notice it her dress no i didn't even notice emily i understand that dress came all the way from london right through the british blockade there across the country it was a beautiful dress father said i could order one from paris france next year well we'll have a party so you can show it off we've been at a party in our house in ever so long i love parties little joe everyone looks so nice the men are all standing up so straight and proper wearing their best clothes the ladies can show off the latest gowns i will have lots of parties [Music] i might even invite somebody else i don't know of course most of the time it'll be just you and i see i don't want to share you with anybody else [Music] little joe someday i want a large white house with six tall pillars reaching clear up to a balcony a house like the one my father tells me used to have back in virginia all right i'll build your house like that i've got the perfect spot for it too right on the ponderosa it's a it's a real high bluff with a view as far as a man's eye can see i'll build a little road up to it sounds so wonderful i just hope nothing ever happens to change that [Music] hey you know what could happen to change that i love you more than anything in the [Music] world thank you very much terry lovely color isn't it well sir have we demonstrated to you that we can provide one or two little items that won't insult a european pilot the dinner was superb the simple miner of my native whales manages somehow to subsist in a slightly less uh ornate manner i must confess but then your mind yields silver ours merely coal and that silver sir is most important if we block statehood and i think we can there'll be no silver for mr lincoln's war chests i gather you're referring to your civil war yours as well as ours well i wonder how in the world you arrive at that conclusion you know how i arrive at it you people are praying for a southern victory your cotton industry has got to have a southern victor in order to survive that's common knowledge well i must confess it wasn't common knowledge to me but then i know absolutely nothing about politics i'm prepared to accept your incognitosa my incognito your disguise or i know what the word means but what may i ask am i supposed to be disguising mr craig smear don't make me spell out every sentence like i paid for my guffy's reader we were promised an agent to work with us for the last six months we've been expecting that agent to make his appearance an agent here in virginia city you think i'm he well aren't you good heavens now i'm an actresser a sterling bear a mama don't toy with me sir we're bleeding to death fighting for our lives the silver under our feet can stop that bleeding but we need help if i were this man you're talking about how do you suppose the people this so-called agent represents can help you invest in our future invest in the only thing that can stop this war with victory to our cause the south is impoverished crippled desperate but we will win so we must win but we need money for men we need money for arms and ammunition with money we can block statehood with the help that you people give us we could keep this great silver treasure of the comstock load from falling into the hands of the enemy miss terry mr cartwright how are you sir this rumor joseph is it true your father won't join stewart's delegation yes that's right sir he's against statehood at this time i'll say you're here didn't you no two-thirds majority no statehood i'm only an act to judge terry nothing more that reminds me i must get back to the hall thank you for an excellent deny i'm sorry i have to run like this is teddy mr cartwright what's mr craig smir's interest in our problems father all in good time my dear are you down yes sir there's the dog i've been waiting for you you're going to be late for your performance there are more important things in the performance i have a task for you a very important one yes you're going to san francisco san francisco mr craigsman that's right and when now immediately once but the curtain goes up in 10 minutes blast the curtain boy i told you this was important you know where to take this the same place are you sure you won't need me oh i was able to dress myself before we met i think i still remember how i'm depending on you peter i'll remember sir good luck to you and don't forget it's vitally important i understand owen you remember curtin in 10 minutes morning boys come on hold on you all set yeah i'm all away paul i think it shouldn't take anyone a couple of weeks to get the pre-blazing done better move out we'll see you later paul yeah have a good trip keep an eye out for the pirates oh way well [Music] [Music] [Applause] morning joe good morning adam leave yeah it's just now about time you got started isn't it as soon as i finish eating well i hope you both feel differently by the time you get back i'm gonna feel just the same if he doesn't change that's his problem don't fly off at me boy well then you tell adam to keep his mouth shut about the girl i love don't raise your voice to me i have no chip on my shoulder to be knocked off i'm sorry joseph i've been in love too in my lifetime now you think that she is the most beautiful most wonderful creature that ever lived don't you i know she is well you're wrong your mother was ah you know taking of a wife is more than just taking a woman there's her family that you have to consider too oh come on paul i'm not marrying her family but you still can't forget the family and you can't ignore the fact that there's a hate festering this country which is like an open wound we're a divided country homes families fathers and sons not daring to speak their own minds to one another i don't understand yesterday you said we should stay out of this yes i did all right then why is it my problem now before this is over this war it'll be everybody's problem because sooner or later sooner or later we're going to have to make a decision and whatever that decision we're all gonna suffer and bleed and maybe die [Music] each one of us is gonna have to make his own decision for [Music] i better get started [Music] so so [Music] [Applause] next time we'll hang you next to abe lincoln you dirty great belief [Applause] oh i order this stuff at once [Applause] william stewart what are you trying to do in this town starting riots in the street fist brawls i was only hanging up a banner in case you've forgotten judge terry free speech is still allowed in this territory i've not forgotten that or many other things well remember that before you order your thugs to start jumping on people southerners are no brawlers uh my son was no brawler he was a soldier he fought with general jackson he died for the wrong cause judge i'm sorry for him the wrong cause you are the man who's leading the people to the wrong flag your statehood it will fail it's already a foregone conclusion you'll not get your needed votes the nevada territory will go to the confederacy sir judge terry i'm afraid i have to disagree with you i honor your views sir i know you believe in them sincerely i know how bravely your son fought i've been hoping that the comstock somehow would be able to keep out of it but it looks like we can't keep out of it doesn't it if it comes to making up our minds about going one way or the other union or confederate i think we'd better go union too many men have died putting this union together for me to stand by and see it destroyed i guess you can counter the ponderosa bill i'll go to carson and vote for statehood god bless you ben i've got my two-thirds morning daddy oh good morning well you haven't eaten any breakfast at all i've just had this telegraph oh how to do it how to use it so that its value won't be dissipated mobile yes daddy joseph cartwright little joe what about him where is he he's gone with the men to check the hood he'll be back when you have to be back this afternoon this afternoon and his brothers well they won't be back for another week they're blazing trees up north tell you why you're asking all this i want you to come with me come with your where fonda rosa uh you finish your breakfast get a bonnet while i have gamaliel hitch up the trap daddy what's in that telegraph ammunition for the battle the only ammunition it seems i'm to be issued in this war i won't let you use little joe in your war with mr stewart my war is not with stewart it's with those men who are trying to steal the territory of nevada for the northern side whatever you call it daddy i don't care i won't let you use little joe and don't ask me to help you use him do you think i want to do you think i want to use my own daughter we must win doesn't your brother's dying have any meaning for you daddy please then don't make me believe that he died for nothing this is your war too isn't it more bad you know it is dead then if you won't do it for me won't you do it for your brother and joseph too believe me he'll be much better off if he declares himself with us instead of men like stuart i don't know i've got to think about it no my dear you're having time do you realize how many boys like your brother have died while we've been sitting talking here i'll get my bonnet well i lost his phone good good oh how'd it go son just a lot of cattle yeah how'd you find them well they're not too scattered they're getting fat good fences are all in good shape good have them in men are fine real good you uh you hear anything from adam no no no no no not yet he and hearts are up in the north section they got plenty of work to do up there well that's good maybe won't be so cantankerous when he gets back well judge how nice to see you all right nice to see you again moving you're looking prettier than ever thank you mr cartwright good to see you cartwright thank you could we have a little talk it's most important well certainly well once we go to the house i'll clean up a bit we can talk more about than i'll be in just a few minutes fine what's so important joe [Applause] i missed you darling i miss you too sweetheart hey what brought you out here anyway your father's going to the convention i thought he wanted to stay out of it he's not going to stay out of it joey's going to vote for statehood stayed here now maybe we better get in there before we go in my father i want you to know he's doing what he has to do and what he thinks is best well you've got all this land here clear down to the lake now judge you don't have to tell me where the ponderosa boundary's live what are you getting at well just this you've got all this land and only one delegate going down to cousin city to represent it and the apportionment committee says that that's not fair well i i think i can speak for the ponderosa not you alone not anymore now here's a telegraph receive this morning you're blind to the committee's request ponderosa is now authorized to send two delegates to the convention well what does bill stewart think of this what stewart thinks about it has nothing to do with it i i don't quite understand what there are only cartwrights on the ponderosa we know that so pick one to be your delegate there are four of you here well two of the boys won't even be back until after the convention and you knew that too didn't you judge well that's not important now you read the telegraph yeah yes i read the telegraph and this whole thing is beginning to smell like a smell like nothing cartwright we're only asking another representative of the ponderosa to come down to carson city as a delegate the way he votes is his own business don't take me for a fool terry you don't believe that neither do i you have your beliefs caught right i have mine and may i remind you that several days ago you told me you honored my views may i remind you that several days ago you didn't try to come between me and my sons what grounds have you for such an accusation judge i'm just wondering something i'm wondering what your son who died at the battle of kingsburg would think of you now don't try to shame me with the memory of my son cartwright he died fighting for the same cause for which i would gladly lay down my own life i'm not questioning your belief sir only the methods you use in accomplishing them hi well this should interest you joseph good day mr cartwright come along marvel quite a drive back to virginia city more beth i'll see you later goodbye mr cartwright little joe a request for another delegate from the ponderosa that's right with adam and haas away that makes you the logical candidate doesn't it well i don't want to be a delegate i'm afraid you have no choice son yes i do this is not my problem no but it has been presented to us and to you you know this is more of a problem for me than it is for anybody else i know i know and when it comes time for you to vote you're gonna have to vote not because of the way you feel about a girl or about me but because of the way you feel about the issue it's a problem but it's also responsibility [Music] foreign we might as well make a night of it here and i've seen better places than this span tonight what could you be doing that could be more wonderful than this i'll tell you what i could be doing i could be sitting in virginia city with a great big ice cold beer in front of me that's water or one of them roasted pigs with with an apple stuck in his mouth uh well i owe you the apple now if you get some wood we can get the beans heated up that's what i mean be [Music] ain't no doubt about it must've been hunting already you ever see him before i think so but if i'm right i don't know what he's doing here why where'd you see him back in town there the actor uh craigsmire there's no address on this what is it and i thought he was just an actor who craig's mirror 80. take a look at that what what do you make of this adam conspiracy conspiracy all i talk about cotton yep who want cotton bad enough to do something like this british textiles they've already got their privateers trying to run the union blockade off charleston and it's no secret they want the south to win they need that cotton to keep their mills operating yeah according to that letter there's somebody right here that's willing to guarantee him that the south will win that's right money guns and ammunition and men never thought judge terry would go this far oh now come on adam how do you know for sure it's judge terry i don't but i know someone who does [Music] so [Music] hello joseph i'm glad to see you wondering when you'd get here mr cartwright all right there's more bath here oh yes yes she's been expecting you she's resting in our room ben there you are welcome to carson city we're going to make history here wednesday hey uh we're going to have a little get-together in my room you know all the

have much to talk about [Music] blaze's bed boy isn't going to vote against us is he [Music] we found your man a couple of days ago the paiutes got him did was very young unfortunately a lot of young men are dying these days these are difficult times yeah and fellas like you were trying to make them worse i don't think i quite understand you sir and let me try who's this letter to and what's more important who was it about and just who are you i could say i'm just a strolling player an actor man of the boards that wouldn't satisfy you nope sure wouldn't then let me just say the people i represent need the south's cotton to keep their mills rolling enough to foster war oh that's a very moral approach but then you don't need that cotton who are you trying to make the deal with i'm sorry i can't tell you that well i'll tell you what i can do i can break you apart i could you now all right it's not of great importance now my value here is gone your man is judged terry well looks like you ride all along adam we just had to be sure now we are state the delegates would be glad to hear this gentlemen i'm afraid you're too late stato will be defeated and nevada voted into confederacy well after they hear what we've got to say i wouldn't be so sure it won't matter now thanks to your brother what do you mean by that why don't you go to the convention and find out [Music] it's not going yet somebody's after my vote every time i stick my nose out of the room well they're just trying to be helpful i just think i need an awful lot of help joe you're on the delegate list as i'm committed that's right i am have you decided which way you're going to vote [Music] i'd like to say i haven't have it over and done with but i haven't [Music] just can't decide yet it's a pretty hot decision for me to make i'm sure of that darling i can just imagine what you've been going through i'm also sure you know how i feel and how much this means to me it's already cost me a brother i'm committed little joe i've taken aside [Music] i just hope we're both on the same one you know i've considered that i'll do the best i can please remember it it's like my pie says i must vote the way i think is right he's right of course [Music] thanks for understanding well it's time i guess it is time isn't it [Music] remember whatever happens in there i love you i know that [Music] i'm just hoping this is all over you'll say it again [Music] how's the time been do you know yet how your boy's going to vote [Applause] the chips are down they're going to call our hand bill the decision is not mine or yours foreign where does he stand i don't know father i'm sorry he must stand with the south that's required into the holster i have something to say to these gentlemen sorry i can't allow i have something to say to this convention i'm sorry sir but nobody can speak here without proper credentials as a delegate now with your approval gentlemen the clerk will now call the roll gentlemen it's important i think you should hear it before you vote that's right that's right mr chairman this man is not a delegate i demand that he be removed from the hall gentlemen please the convention is in order it'll only take a moment or is this convention afraid to hear the truth call the delegates we can't wait all day if there's any further interference i'll have the sergeant-at-arms handle the situation mr chairman my son asked a question which deserves an answer is this convention afraid to hear something which may be of vital importance to it he has a right to be heard not here he hasn't he says it's important it's a yankee trick i know wait a minute i'm a delegate i have credentials my brother says it's important i believe him i think we should hear him out if it's vitally important my brother and i found this letter on a dead man's body on the ponderosa it was written by one walter craigsmuir an actor whom some of you may remember has been appearing in virginia city for the past several weeks what are we waiting for i say begin the votes it reads i've been assured that given our support in terms of money rushed from san francisco to carson city for men guns and ammunition the nevada statehood convention can be stampeded and the territory enjoined to the confederacy as this would ensure union defeat through depriving mr lincoln of the wealth of the comstock and thereby ensure a continued flow of cotton to british mills i would recommend we do business on the terms suggested signed craigsmuir [Music] who assured him this convention has the right to know the answer to that question gentlemen that man is judge david terry that's true i do not deny what i did i did because i had to do and i'm proud of it i believe in my cause and i'll fight to win it with any means i know and by every strength that i possess is there any man here whose faith in his cause is so small that he will not seek victory in a similar manner no we will never subscribe to that because we have faith in what we believe we honor it we will not destroy it by justifying any and all means to gain our ends here judge you took too much on yourself you went too far yeah let's vote gentlemen the clerk will now pull the delegates come on man i'm sorry mobile i'm sorry too for all of us especially for him what do you think he'll do now well with nevada joining the union he'd like to go back to virginia and what about you i must go with him you understand don't you i understand there's a war between us was in some time [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] do so [Music] so [Music] you
