South Ns not inflicted any injury upon the citizens al

Barton S demand upon the French government shall
have been officially communicated 20 the President he
will communicate it TO Congress- have doubt his
message, while it will be firm and dgnitied, will abstain
from any recommendation but having communicated the
precise state of things, will leave Congress to It's own ac-
ton. There is now but little doubt that there will be
found very few adopt the views OF The ncllgenccr in
relation tc Presidents Message. and that the whole
country will rally around the government and sustain It's
honor and dignity.
