tha, your vote for or against the BILL will pass REJECT
it, in consequence of the equal division OF the senate.
On the other hand there very few, any SO eh'u
sasc rs believe possible that any such Dill can pass
the House of Representatives. Then let us suppose nal
The Senate shall pass the bill by your vote being gifem
