alone But if there any occasion for The passage
OF the law meet The present emergency, There was
also reason for making the permanent law OF the land
He not in avur oil occasional Legislation, out oil re-
spect 10 any individual Power; il seemed too much LIKE
making concession 10 one which the Government was
unwilling 10 make 10 another Power IT was praec'
offering; its object to preserve neutrality. IT IN
any way he hoped this bill would be passed in peima
form, rather than in this temporary way at the IN

was IL permanent law, and this ought TO be so TOO.
