Halwer treaty is, under the intepretation placed
um it by Great Britain, a surrender of the rights
si this °pantry, and on the American construction
an entangling alliance without benefit or restriction,
sad has been productive only of misunderstanding
Ind controversy between the two governments,
therefore resolve that the President oe requested to
take such steps as may be in his judgment best cal-
culated to effect the ;speedy abrogation of the said
treaty."

port of the committee, and at a proper time he de-
sired to be heard on the subject.
