possib lity Of this question ever again
coming before Congress. These were
bis only motives, and he had. in NOV
ing the resolution, acted without con-
suIting with any one else. Foreseting
a difficulty in prescribing the mode in
which the amendment might be made,
he had left that question for separate
consideration in order to obtain &c.
